EP1045106A1 - Method for installing a frame assembly comprising a roller shutter box - Google Patents

Abstract

The roll-up blind may be retrofitted in an existing window opening in a building. It has a cassette (6) containing the stora roller for the blind. The end caps (10) for the cassette are attached to normally vertical frame members (2,3) in which the ends of the slats may slide. The frame assembly (1) for the roller blind may be tilted forward, swiveling about the bottom ends of the vertical frame members. A cord (12), stretching between the window frame and one of the side cheeks (5) at the ends of the cassette prevents it swiveling out too far.

Description

The present invention relates to a method of installation of a rolling shutter box as well a roller shutter box that can be put in works by this process.

Indeed, in the context of rehabilitation works windows of houses and / or apartments, or in the framework of new works, the techniques used generally consist, within the framework of the rehabilitation, to achieve the change of the window in place as well as closing (shutters, wooden shutters, roller shutters, shutters doors, etc.).

In a new application, there is no phase of change per se, but rather a installation phase of the closure assembly at within a blank opening.

For questions of speed of intervention (case occupied housing) and also in order not to degrade the interior finishes of the room, the new carpentry is installed over the from the original window.

Known techniques for performing the closing a window or more generally a opening made in a dwelling, using without limitation, a shutter type closure rolling, consists of using two laying methods different.

Thus, according to a first principle, it is integrated into carpentry to form a "bay block".

The roller shutter box is then superimposed on the carpentry, and comes between the new high frame and the old top frame remained in place.

The advantage of this laying process is mainly in its ease of implementation, the set is practically positioned as a carpentry alone, the manufacture of the trunk and its assembly on the carpentry are completely realized in the workshop, the exterior covers of the carpentry are simplified.

• prise de jour importante du fait de la hauteur du coffre sous l'ancien dormant,
• dégradation de la qualité, thermique et acoustique de la nouvelle menuiserie,
• habillage côté intérieur de la menuiserie, toujours délicat à la périphérie du coffre du volet roulant.

However, its disadvantages are:

• significant daytime catch due to the height of the trunk under the old frame,
• degradation of the quality, thermal and acoustic of the new joinery,
• trim on the interior side of the joinery, always delicate at the periphery of the roller shutter box.

Or, according to a second installation process of a type of closure, in particular a rolling shutter, this consists of an installation independent of the carpentry.

So the user installs at first carpentry, and secondly it poses the entire closure in front of the carpentry in the fixing either against the shell or either times against existing carpentry.

The advantage of this process is the low take day of the roller shutter box, on the one hand because that the latter is juxtaposed in front of the new sleeping, and on the other hand, as it is not in contact with the interior of the room, there is no insulation problem, and the thickness of the trunk can thus be very thin.

However, the major drawback of this second type laying process, mainly consists of that it requires a specific installation, taking for measuring structural work on the outside (dimension between table, dimension under lintel ...) must be done also to be able to manufacture the shutter box rolling.

As a result, manufacturing and transportation on site are independent of the carpentry, which cause packaging costs additional; therefore it is not possible to achieve economies of scale from the outlet until the final installation.

The present invention proposes to overcome the disadvantages of the known installation methods of the prior art by proposing a method of setting in place of a rolling shutter box which combines the advantages of prior methods.

• on installe l'ensemble de la fenêtre dans l'ancien dormant, et on réalise les calages et fixation de ce nouvel ensemble ;
• on incline la fermeture vers l'avant, les coulisses pivotant autour d'un système d'articulation et on réalise la mise en place du fond de joint et l'application d'un cordon de mastic pour l'étanchéité ;
• on rapproche la fermeture contre le dormant, celle-ci se fixant aux coulisses grâce à des organes de fixation et afin de plaquer le coffre sous le linteau, on pousse verticalement sous le coffre, un dispositif d'ajustement ressortant des coulisses des pattes flexibles crantées formées sur le dispositif d'ajustement empêchant l'ensemble de redescendre.

To this end, the method of fitting a bay unit comprising a rolling shutter box cooperating at the backstage level, is characterized in that:

• the whole window is installed in the old frame, and the wedging and fixing of this new set are carried out;
• the closure is tilted forward, the slides pivoting around an articulation system and the joint bottom is put in place and the application of a bead of sealant for sealing;
• the closure is brought closer to the frame, the latter being fixed to the slides by means of fixing members and in order to press the trunk under the lintel, one pushes vertically under the trunk, an adjustment device emerging from the slides of the notched flexible legs formed on the adjustment device preventing the assembly from descending.

According to a preferred embodiment of a set of closing of the type including roller shutter (see figures 1, 2, 3), allowing the implementation of the method object of the invention, it comprises a bay block or closure formed 1 of two lateral slides 2, 3 the ends of which, in particular the upper ends, cooperate at tulip level 4.

These tulips 4 are crossed by legs (not shown in the figures) protruding perpendicular to the cheeks 5, these being positioned at the ends of a roller shutter box 6, the latter being further fitted with all the traditional components 7 of this type of closure, i.e. flap axis, mechanism maneuver (strap, winch, motor ..), apron, torque limiter, reduction gear, lock, guide strap ..., the apron blades can slide at within said slides 2, 3.

This bay 1 block is juxtaposed on the outside of carpentry, it will be fixed temporarily against the joinery forming the new frame 8 at when it was produced in the workshop with the box installed in the low position.

Thus, the completion ratings for the closure, the type including roller shutter, are exactly those carpentry, there is no specific rating for take on the shell.

The trunk being located on the outside of the carpentry, there is no finish problem interior. Daytime use is also minimized, because a specific rack system, which will be described below, allows to place the trunk under the lintel, in order to gain the height of the pig (the jackpot being defined as the value of the overshoot of the old frame 9 under the lintel).

According to another characteristic of the invention (see figure 9), the bay block 1 provided with its assembly closure includes means for adapting the side finishes against the painting; they will be carried out particularly at the level of 2 of components on the one hand, at the level of the slide 2, 3, an angle iron will be clipped on the slide (adjustable locally in width) and on the other hand, trunk level 6, it is also necessary to fill the jack value space this will made using the end caps which will be telescopically mounted on the trunk, and pushed back until coming into contact with the board (see Figures 3 and 4).

According to yet another characteristic of this block bay, it includes an articulation system 11 (see Figure 5) which allows it to tilt towards the exterior to allow the installer to realize waterproofing, outside of the new window in order to comply with D.T.U. (technical sheet of Woodworking recommendation for Documents Unified Techniques). The tilting of the whole closure 1 around the point of rotation formed by the articulation system is limited by cords 12 (see figure 7).

According to a first embodiment, this system hinge 11 is made up of hinges placed, on the one hand at the lower ends of the backstage 2, 3, and on the other hand on the carpentry new frame 8.

According to another embodiment, the system 11 is developed by a system of hooks engaged with both the slides 2, 3 and the carpentry of the new frame 8.

According to another characteristic of the invention, the bay unit 1 includes a device 13 allowing adjust the height of the jack. Indeed, it is necessary for the installer to install easily the seals between the carpentry and the frame of the closure, and therefore that the latter can pivot freely around its hinges 11, that there is sufficient space between the lintel of the opening and the horizontal wall of the box (see Figure 2), this space also being necessary to be able to install the block assembly bay through the old sleepers.

For this purpose, the roller shutter box is shifted to carpentry of a length corresponding to this space, with the understanding that when operations have been made, this space must be filled by a translational movement back from bay 1 block on the joinery.

Consequently, it is expected to have substantially in the axis of the slides (refer to figure 4) and in the lateral extension of the cheeks 5 forming the box, flexible legs 14 provided with notched walls.

When the user fills the space of the pig, the flexible tabs 14 at their walls notched, bear successively on the edge slides 2, 3 during the entire return movement in position and thus prevent the bay block 1 from come down unexpectedly.

In order to secure the connection between the closure and the carpentry forming the new frame 8, we plans to file (see Figure 6) so uniformly distributed a plurality of organs of fixing 15 formed in particular by "clips" on which come to cooperate organs complementary to the closure. next applications fixing by "clipping" can be supplemented by screws or by any other means equivalent.

According to yet another aspect of the invention, particularly used in addition during the closure switching phase compared to carpentry, it is possible to adapt a tarpaulin 16 of protection which envelops the closure. This tarp which is held in the lower part by a bar holding 17 and in the upper part by hooking eyelets 18, provides protection anti-fall for the user, especially when the latter performs the sealing operations between the closure and carpentry, this tarp can also allow the user to have his tools.

Before proceeding to lock the closure on the solid frame of the carpentry of the new sleeping 8, the user removes the tarp which can be reused on another block opening bay 1.

• 1ère phase : le poseur installe l'ensemble bloc baie (c'est-à-dire le nouveau dormant 8 et la fermeture dans l'ancien dormant 9), et réalise les calages et fixation de ce nouvel ensemble.
• 2ème phase : il incline la fermeture vers l'avant, les coulisses 2, 3 pivotent autour d'un système d'articulation 11 préalablement fixé, en usine sur la menuiserie, l'ensemble est retenu en position incliné par 2 cordons 12 en partie haute, entre le coffre et la nouvelle menuiserie. Le poseur peut donc réaliser facilement la mise en place du fond de joint et l'application du cordon de mastic pour l'étanchéité. Eventuellement, lors de cette deuxième phase, l'utilisateur enveloppe le bloc baie et la fermeture, à l'aide de la bâche de protection 16.
• 3ème phase : la poseur rapproche la fermeture contre le dormant, elle se fixe grâce aux organes de fixation 15 aux coulisses 2, 3 sur des plots préalablement fixés en usine sur la nouvelle menuiserie. Afin de plaquer le coffre sous le linteau, le poseur pousse verticalement sous le coffre, le dispositif d'ajustement 13 ressort des coulisses 2, 3, et les pattes flexibles 14 crantées empêchent l'ensemble de redescendre. Pour combler l'espace latéral entre le coffre et les tableaux de fenêtre, le poseur écarte les 2 caches d'extrémité ou plus généralement les finitions latérales 10 du coffre pour les amener en contact contre le tableau. Il reste ensuite à ajuster en largeur les cornières latérales qui viennent se clipper sur la coulisse 2, 3 afin de masquer l'espace entre coulisse et tableau de fenêtre.

In order to better understand the process for installing a bay block 1 as described above, the installation of the latter comprises three very distinct phases:

• 1st phase: the installer installs the bay block assembly (that is to say the new frame 8 and the closure in the old frame 9), and performs the setting and fixing of this new set.
• 2nd phase: it inclines the closure forward, the slides 2, 3 pivot around an articulation system 11 previously fixed, in the factory on the joinery, the assembly is retained in the inclined position by 2 cords 12 in part high, between the trunk and the new carpentry. The installer can therefore easily install the joint backing and apply the bead of sealant for sealing. Optionally, during this second phase, the user envelops the bay block and the closure, using the protective cover 16.
• 3rd phase: the installer brings the closure closer to the frame, it is fixed thanks to the fixing members 15 to the slides 2, 3 on studs previously fixed in the factory on the new carpentry. In order to press the trunk under the lintel, the installer pushes vertically under the trunk, the adjustment device 13 comes out from the slides 2, 3, and the flexible lugs 14 notched prevent the assembly from coming back down. To fill the lateral space between the box and the window boards, the installer discards the 2 end covers or more generally the side finishes 10 of the box to bring them into contact against the board. It then remains to adjust the width of the side angles which clip onto the slide 2, 3 in order to hide the space between the slide and the window panel.

• Tout d'abord, les performances thermiques et acoustiques de la menuiserie ne sont pas dégradées.
• On peut grâce à ce type de montage assurer le transport du coffre en même temps qu'avec les menuiseries.
• Il n'y a plus de cotes spécifiques entre le nouveau dormant et le système de fermeture, ce qui permet de générer une standardisation au niveau de la fabrication, d'où des économies d'échelle importantes. De plus, les utilisateurs possèdent un nombre de références limitées, ce qui limite le stock et les problèmes de montage.

The invention as described above, both in terms of the installation process and in terms of the structure of the bay block, offers numerous advantages:

• First of all, the thermal and acoustic performance of the joinery is not degraded.
• Thanks to this type of assembly, the trunk can be transported at the same time as the joinery.
• There are no longer any specific dimensions between the new frame and the closure system, which allows standardization at the manufacturing level, resulting in significant economies of scale. In addition, users have a limited number of references, which limits stock and assembly problems.

It remains of course that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described and shown above, but that it includes all variants.
