Description

La présente invention est relative à un dispositif destiné à limiter la course du tablier d'un volet roulant ou analogue, et notamment à empêcher l'enroulement du tablier au-delà d'une position haute de celui-ci.The present invention relates to a device for limiting the travel of the deck of a shutter or the like, and in particular to prevent the winding of the deck beyond a high position thereof.

Les volets roulants ou analogues installés en montage traditionnel comportent généralement deux butées fixées sur la lame finale du tablier permettant ainsi de bloquer sa remontée au-delà d'un point précis, appelé position haute du tablier.Rolling shutters or the like installed in conventional assembly generally comprise two stops fixed on the final blade of the apron thereby blocking its recovery beyond a specific point, called high position of the deck.

Classiquement, ces butées sont posées après installation du volet roulant dans les coulisses de guidage et viennent s'appuyer sous le linteau de la maçonnerie de manière à arrêter le volet lorsque celui-ci atteint la position haute.Conventionally, these stops are posed after installation of the roller shutter in the guide slides and come to rest under the lintel of the masonry so as to stop the flap when it reaches the high position.

L'inconvénient de ce système réside dans le fait que ces butées ne peuvent pas être fixées en atelier lors de l'assemblage du volet roulant ce qui oblige la personne chargée de poser le volet à les installer ultérieurement.The disadvantage of this system lies in the fact that these stops can not be fixed in the workshop during the assembly of the roller shutter which forces the person responsible for installing the shutter to install them later.

Or, en cas d'oubli par le poseur, l'absence de ces butées risque de provoquer un mauvais fonctionnement du volet roulant lors de la première montée du tablier.However, in case of forgetting by the installer, the absence of these stops may cause a malfunction of the roller shutter during the first rise of the deck.

En effet, sous l'effet de la manoeuvre qui peut être manuelle (treuil, poulie) ou motorisée (moteur), le tablier du volet va continuer sa course au-delà de la position haute et tourner autour de l'arbre d'enroulement du caisson. Au moment où le poseur redescendra le tablier dans les coulisses, il risque de ne pas tenir compte des tours "à vide" qui ont ainsi été réalisés dans le caisson ce qui a pour conséquence d'entraîner un déréglage des points d'arrêt du tablier en position basse et en position haute, notamment avec des commandes par moteur qui utilisent une détection de couple en arrêt supérieur.Indeed, under the effect of the maneuver that can be manual (winch, pulley) or motorized (engine), the shutter deck will continue its stroke beyond the high position and turn around the winding shaft of the box. At the moment when the installer will lower the apron behind the scenes, he may not take into account the "empty" turns that have been made in the box which has the consequence of causing a disruption of the stopping points of the apron in the low position and in the high position, in particular with motor controls which use torque detection in higher stop.

EP-A-0 092 122 montre un dispositif permettant de limiter la course d'un tablier de volet roulant ou analogue, à commande manuelle ou motorisée, monté sur un tube d'enroulement comprenant, d'une part à l'extrémité d'une lame finale dudit tablier au moins une première butée escamotable faisant saillie par rapport à au moins une face latérale et/ou une face frontale de ladite lame finale et d'autre part, au moins une deuxième butée positionnée à l'extrémité supérieure d'une coulisse de guidage dudit tablier, ladite deuxième butée faisant saillie à l'intérieur de ladite coulisse de manière à provoquer, lors du déplacement dudit tablier, un contact avec ladite première butée afin d'engendrer un blocage mécanique empêchant la rotation dudit tablier autour dudit tube d'enroulement, la partie de la deuxième butée faisant saillie à l'intérieur de la coulisse possédant une rampe ou similaire. EP-A-0 092 122 shows a device for limiting the travel of a rolling shutter apron or the like, with manual or motorized control, mounted on a winding tube comprising, on the one hand at the end of a final blade of said deck at least a first retractable stop protruding from at least one lateral face and / or a front face of said final blade and secondly, at least one second stop positioned at the upper end of a guide slide of said apron, said second stop protruding inside said slide so as to cause, during the movement of said apron, a contact with said first stop in order to generate a mechanical locking preventing the rotation of said apron around said winding tube, the part the second stop protruding inside the slide having a ramp or the like.

Selon EP-A-00 92 122 , la première butée est montée rotative de manière à pouvoir occuper une position active assurant le blocage mécanique et une position effacée assurant le passage. Le changement de position de la butée nécessite une intervention manuelle. Ainsi, lors du montage du volet dans la coulisse, l'opérateur après avoir fait descendre le volet, alors que la première butée était en position effacée, doit intervenir pour placer cette première butée en position active permettant d'engendrer un blocage mécanique en fin de course haute du volet. Si l'opérateur oublie d'effectuer cette manoeuvre, le blocage n'est pas assuré.according to EP-A-0092122 , the first stop is rotatably mounted so as to occupy an active position ensuring the mechanical locking and an erased position ensuring the passage. The change of position of the stop requires manual intervention. Thus, when mounting the shutter in the slide, the operator after lowering the shutter, while the first stop was in the erased position, must intervene to place the first stop in the active position to generate a mechanical lock in the end high race of the shutter. If the operator forgets to perform this maneuver, blocking is not ensured.

L'invention a pour but, notamment, de rendre automatique la mise en action du dispositif de limitation de la course du tablier lors de la première descente, sans qu'une intervention de l'opérateur soit nécessaire. Il est souhaitable en outre que la solution proposée reste simple et économique. Il convient de plus que les première et deuxième butées puissent être installées directement en atelier de manière à éviter tout oubli de leur pose et ainsi empêcher un éventuel déréglage des positions d'arrêt du tablier.The invention aims, in particular, to make automatic activation of the device for limiting the stroke of the deck during the first descent, without the intervention of the operator is necessary. It is furthermore desirable that the proposed solution remains simple and economical. It is also necessary that the first and second stops can be installed directly in the workshop so as to avoid any forgetting of their installation and thus prevent a possible maladjustment of the stopping positions of the deck.

Selon l'invention, un dispositif permettant de limiter la course d'un tablier de volet roulant ou analogue, du genre défini précédemment, est caractérisé en ce que la première butée escamotable est positionnée sur la lame finale à l'aide d'un ressort ou analogue de manière à pouvoir s'effacer à l'intérieur de ladite lame finale lors de la première descente du tablier, mais pas à sa montée.According to the invention, a device making it possible to limit the stroke of a rolling shutter apron or the like, of the kind defined above, is characterized in that the first retractable stop is positioned on the final blade by means of a spring or analogous so as to be able to fade inside said final blade during the first descent of the deck, but not to its rise.

Selon une autre possibilité, la deuxième butée est escamotable de façon à laisser passer la première butée à la première descente du tablier, mais pas à sa montée.According to another possibility, the second stop is retractable so as to let the first stopper at the first descent of the deck, but not to its rise.

La deuxième butée peut comporter une patte ou similaire destinée à traverser une paroi de ladite coulisse à travers un orifice de manière à pouvoir s'effacer depuis l'extérieur pour permettre la remontée de la lame finale au-delà de ladite deuxième butée.The second stop may comprise a tab or the like intended to pass through a wall of said slide through an orifice so as to be able to disappear from the outside so as to allow the final blade to rise beyond said second stop.

La deuxième butée peut avoir des dimensions différentes de façon à définir différentes positions hautes de blocage mécanique dudit tablier suivant la configuration du volet roulant et/ou des lieux de pose.The second stop may have different dimensions so as to define different high mechanical locking positions of said apron according to the configuration of the shutter and / or places of installation.

Avantageusement, la deuxième butée est agrafée sur une paroi de ladite coulisse et est maintenue en place par une tulipe qui vient la recouvrir.Advantageously, the second stop is stapled on a wall of said slide and is held in place by a tulip that comes to cover it.

De manière générale, le tablier d'un volet roulant est composé de plusieurs lames en aluminium ou en plastique, juxtaposées horizontalement et assemblées entre elles de manière à permettre l'enroulement dudit tablier sur un tube sous l'action d'un organe de manoeuvre. Notamment, cet organe de manoeuvre peut être soit manuel (du type treuil ou poulie), soit motorisé. De plus, le volet roulant comporte deux coulisses verticales fixées chacune sur une paroi latérale de logement de fenêtre ou de porte, recevant le volet roulant, permettant notamment de guider le tablier lors de sa montée ou de sa descente. Une tulipe est également montée à l'extrémité supérieure de chaque coulisse afin de faciliter l'enroulement dudit tablier sur le tube.In general, the apron of a roller shutter is composed of several blades of aluminum or plastic, juxtaposed horizontally and assembled together so as to allow the winding of said apron on a tube under the action of a maneuvering member . In particular, this actuator can be either manual (winch type or pulley), or motorized. In addition, the roller shutter comprises two vertical slides each attached to a side wall housing window or door, receiving the shutter, in particular to guide the deck during its rise or descent. A tulip is also mounted at the upper end of each slide to facilitate the winding of said apron on the tube.

Selon un mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention et comme représenté sur la figure 1, la lame finale 1 du volet roulant, c'est à dire la lame positionnée à l'extrémité libre du tablier qui, au cours de la course de celui-ci, vient en butée de la paroi supérieure ou inférieure du dormant, comporte au moins un moyen 2 à au moins une de ses extrémités permettant de fixer au moins une première butée 3 éventuellement escamotable faisant saillie par rapport à au moins une de ses surfaces latérales et/ou de ses surfaces frontales. Notamment, ce moyen peut être un perçage ou un rivetage ; ladite première butée 3 qui vient s'insérer sur l'une des parois de ladite lame comporte un perçage ou rivetage correspondant et l'ensemble est maintenu par l'intermédiaire d'attaches 5 de type vis, rivet ou analogue.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention and as represented on the figure 1 , the final blade 1 of the roller shutter, that is to say the blade positioned at the free end of the deck which, during the course thereof, comes into abutment with the upper or lower wall of the frame, comprises at at least one means 2 at least one of its ends for fixing at least a first stop 3 possibly retractable projecting relative to at least one of its side surfaces and / or its end surfaces. In particular, this means can be drilling or riveting; said first stop 3 which is inserted on one of the walls of said blade has a corresponding drilling or riveting and the assembly is maintained by means of fasteners 5 of screw, rivet or similar type.

La première butée 3 est dimensionnée de manière qu'une fois fixée à la lame finale 1, elle puisse venir affleurer par rapport à au moins l'une des parois intérieures d'une coulisse 6 de guidage du tablier. Elle peut être réalisée notamment par emboutissage, découpage ou filage d'un métal de type aluminium. En variante, elle peut également être obtenue par moulage ou extrusion de matière plastique, ou à partir de bois...The first stop 3 is dimensioned so that once attached to the final blade 1, it can come out flush with relative to at least one of the inner walls of a slide 6 for guiding the deck. It can be carried out in particular by stamping, cutting or spinning an aluminum-type metal. Alternatively, it can also be obtained by molding or extrusion of plastic material, or from wood ...

En outre, à l'extrémité supérieure de chaque coulisse 6, on positionne sur l'une de ses parois au moins une deuxième butée 4 éventuellement escamotable et faisant saillie à l'intérieur de ladite coulisse 6 par rapport à la paroi affleurante à la première butée 3. Pour ce faire, elle peut être par exemple agrafée, vissée ou même collée sur cette paroi intérieure de la coulisse 6. De plus, cette deuxième butée 4 peut être réalisée en acier à ressort, par emboutissage ou découpage d'un feuillard métallique de faible épaisseur, ou par moulage ou injection de matière plastique.In addition, at the upper end of each slide 6, is positioned on one of its walls at least a second stop 4 possibly retractable and projecting inside said slide 6 relative to the flush wall to the first 3. To do this, it can be for example stapled, screwed or even glued on the inner wall of the slide 6. In addition, this second stop 4 can be made of spring steel, by stamping or cutting a strip thin metal, or by plastic molding or injection molding.

Selon une caractéristique avantageuse de l'invention, ladite deuxième butée 4 est agrafée en haut de ladite coulisse 6 et est maintenue en place par la tulipe 7 qui vient la recouvrir (cf. figure 3).According to an advantageous characteristic of the invention, said second stop 4 is stapled at the top of said slide 6 and is held in place by the tulip 7 which covers it (cf. figure 3 ).

Ainsi, comme représenté sur la figure 3, lors de la montée du tablier sous l'action de la commande, la première butée 3 fixée à la lame finale 1 et affleurante par rapport à l'une des parois intérieures de la coulisse 6 va venir en contact contre la deuxième butée 4 de manière à provoquer un blocage mécanique du volet empêchant ainsi la rotation du tablier autour du tube d'enroulement au-delà de la position haute du tablier.So, as represented on the figure 3 during the rise of the apron under the action of the control, the first stop 3 fixed to the final blade 1 and flush with respect to one of the inner walls of the slide 6 will come into contact with the second stop 4 of so as to cause a mechanical blocking of the shutter thus preventing rotation of the apron around the winding tube beyond the high position of the deck.

Selon une autre caractéristique avantageuse de l'invention, la partie de ladite deuxième butée 4 faisant saillie à l'intérieur de la coulisse 6, possède une rampe ou une partie escamotable de façon à laisser passer ladite première butée 3 à la première descente du tablier, mais pas à sa montée. En effet, lors de la pose du volet roulant, on installe le tube d'enroulement et son tablier après la pose des coulisses, puis le tablier est déroulé pour être descendu. Comme la deuxième butée 4 est installée en atelier avant cette opération, sa forme ne doit pas empêcher la première descente dudit tablier dans les coulisses.According to another advantageous characteristic of the invention, the part of said second stop 4 projecting inside the slide 6, has a ramp or a retractable part so as to let said first stop 3 at the first descent of the apron but not at his climb. Indeed, during the installation of the shutter, it installs the winding tube and apron after the installation of the slides, then the deck is unwound to be lowered. As the second stop 4 is installed in the workshop before this operation, its shape must not prevent the first descent of said apron behind the scenes.

En variante, la première butée 3 peut être escamotable ; par exemple, celle-ci peut être positionnée sur la lame finale 1 à l'aide d'un ressort ou analogue de manière à pouvoir s'effacer à l'intérieur de ladite lame finale lors de la première descente du tablier.Alternatively, the first stop 3 may be retractable; for example, it can be positioned on the final blade 1 with a spring or the like so as to be erased inside said final blade during the first descent of the deck.

Selon encore une autre caractéristique avantageuse de l'invention, afin de faciliter un démontage éventuel du tablier, la deuxième butée 4 comporte une patte 8 (cf. figure 2) qui traverse la paroi de la coulisse 6 portant ladite butée au travers d'un orifice correspondant 9 préalablement réalisé en usine. Cette patte 8 peut donc être tirée depuis l'extérieur de manière à pouvoir permettre la remontée de la lame finale au-delà de la position haute et en dehors des coulisses pour pouvoir démonter le tablier du volet roulant.According to yet another advantageous characteristic of the invention, in order to facilitate possible disassembly of the apron, the second stop 4 comprises a tab 8 (cf. figure 2 ) which passes through the wall of the slide 6 carrying said stop through a corresponding orifice 9 previously made in the factory. This lug 8 can be pulled from the outside so as to allow the recovery of the final blade beyond the upper position and outside the wings to be able to disassemble the deck shutter.

En variante, on peut prévoir un système identique pour la première butée 3 ; par exemple, celle-ci est montée à l'aide d'un ressort sur la lame finale 1 et peut s'effacer par actionnement de moyens appropriés afin de permettre la remontée dudit tablier.As a variant, an identical system may be provided for the first stop 3; for example, it is mounted using a spring on the final blade 1 and can fade by actuating appropriate means to allow the raising of said apron.

Selon encore une autre caractéristique avantageuse de l'invention, la deuxième butée 4 peut être réalisée suivant des dimensions différentes définissant ainsi plusieurs hauteurs possibles du tablier de manière à s'adapter aux différents volets roulants et suivant la configuration des lieux de pose.According to yet another advantageous characteristic of the invention, the second abutment 4 can be made according to different dimensions thus defining several possible heights of the deck so as to adapt to the different shutters and according to the configuration of the places of installation.

Bien entendu, suivant l'utilisation du volet roulant, on peut fixer la première butée 3 sur d'autres lames du tablier que sur la lame finale 1 et la deuxième butée 4 peut être positionnée à différentes hauteurs de la coulisse 6 de manière à définir une ou plusieurs positions d'arrêt du tablier comprises entre la position basse et la position haute dudit tablier.Of course, depending on the use of the roller shutter, it is possible to fix the first stopper 3 on other blades of the apron than on the final blade 1 and the second stopper 4 can be positioned at different heights of the slideway 6 so as to define one or more stop positions of the apron between the low position and the high position of said apron.

La présente invention telle que décrite précédemment offre de multiples avantages ; en particulier l'installation d'un tel dispositif de butées en atelier permet d'éviter tout risque de déréglage des positions d'arrêt du tablier, et la hauteur de la butée escamotable de ce système peut être adaptée à la configuration des lieux.The present invention as described above offers multiple advantages; in particular, the installation of such a stop device in the workshop makes it possible to avoid any risk of maladjustment of the stopping positions of the apron, and the height of the retractable abutment of this system can be adapted to the configuration of the premises.

Il demeure bien entendu que la présente invention n'est pas limitée aux exemples de réalisation décrits et représentés ci-dessus, mais qu'elle en englobe toutes les variantes. Ainsi, par exemple, ce dispositif peut être utilisé dans des installations équipées d'organe d'ouverture et de fermeture à enroulement (ouvrant dans un entrepôt de stockage, porte de remorques de poids lourds...).It remains understood that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described and shown above, but encompasses all variants. Thus, for example, this device can be used in installations equipped with winding opening and closing members (opening in a storage warehouse, truck trailer door ...).
