Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif obturateur fabriqué de préférence en matière plastique et destiné à fermer chacune des deux extrémités latérales d'un coffre-tunnel pour volet roulant.The present invention relates to a shutter device made of preferably plastic and intended to close each of the two ends sides of a rolling shutter tunnel tunnel.

Habituellement, les coffres-tunnels sont prévus pour être intégrés en cours de construction à la maçonnerie d'un bâtiment au-dessus des embrasures de fenêtre ou de porte, comme cela est montré à la Fig. 1.Usually, tunnel boxes are designed to be integrated during construction in the masonry of a building above window openings or door, as shown in Fig. 1.

Chaque coffre-tunnel est généralement constitué d'une coque moulée comportant un évidement en forme de tunnel dont la partie inférieure est ouverte pour permettre d'y loger un volet roulant.Each tunnel safe generally consists of a molded shell having a tunnel-shaped recess with the lower part open to accommodate a roller shutter.

Chaque dispositif obturateur constitué principalement d'une joue et d'un talon perpendiculaire à celle-ci, est prévu pour recevoir un volet roulant composé d'un axe de volet roulant, un tablier et des coulisses.Each obturator consisting mainly of a cheek and a heel perpendicular to it, is designed to receive a rolling shutter composed of an axis roller shutter, apron and runners.

Un axe de volet roulant est un tube métallique cylindrique ou octogonal sur lequel peut venir s'accrocher le tablier. Ce tube est équipé à chacune de ses extrémités d'un embout introduit à force. Un arbre d'embout monté libre à rotation dans ledit embout est fixé à la joue par l'intermédiaire d'un accessoire support d'arbre. Suivant une autre technique du fabricant d'accessoires, l'embout d'arbre s'emmanche sur un pivot fixé sur l'accessoire support d'arbre dénommé support pivot. A roller shutter axis is a cylindrical or octagonal metal tube on which can hang on the deck. This tube is equipped with each of its ends of a nozzle inserted by force. A tip shaft mounted free to rotate in said endpiece is fixed to the cheek by means of a support accessory shaft. According to another technique from the accessory manufacturer, the shaft end can be fitted on a pivot fixed on the shaft support accessory called support pivot.

A une extrémité de l'axe de volet roulant, entre l'embout et le support d'arbre, prend place un mécanisme de manoeuvre manuel de type poulie à sangle ou treuil à manivelle.At one end of the roller shutter axis, between the end piece and the support shaft, takes place a manual operating mechanism of the pulley type with strap or crank winch.

Ce dernier peut être compensé pour faciliter son utilisation en fonction de la surface ou du poids du tablier. La compensation est réalisée sur l'arbre de l'embout opposé au mécanisme de manoeuvre.The latter can be compensated to facilitate its use depending on the surface or weight of the deck. Compensation is carried out on the tip shaft opposite to the operating mechanism.

Lorsque l'axe de volet roulant est motorisé par un mécanisme de manoeuvre motorisé, l'ensemble moteur inclut l'embout. L'accessoire support d'arbre est alors spécifique côté moteur et dénommé support moteur.When the roller shutter axis is motorized by an operating mechanism motorized, the motor assembly includes the nozzle. The shaft support accessory is then specific on the engine side and called the engine support.

Côté opposé au mécanisme de manoeuvre, l'embout est généralement télescopique de manière à pouvoir faire varier la longueur totale de l'axe de volet roulant équipé lors de son introduction dans l'évidement du coffre-tunnel dont l'ouverture est réduite par la présence des talons.Opposite side of the operating mechanism, the tip is generally telescopic so that the total length of the flap axis can be varied rolling equipped when introduced into the recess of the tunnel box, the opening is reduced by the presence of the heels.

Les faces internes des joues incluent des réservations prévues pour permettre la fixation par vis des accessoires supports d'arbre, supports pivot, supports moteur ou pour immobiliser le treuil dans l'angle souhaité de raccordement à une genouillère équipée de sa manivelle (90 ° ou 75 °).The inner faces of the cheeks include reservations provided to allow screw fixing of the shaft support accessories, pivot supports, engine supports or to immobilize the winch in the desired angle of connection to a knee lifter equipped with its crank (90 ° or 75 °).

Il existe plusieurs fabricants d'accessoires et de mécanismes de manoeuvre, chacun ayant des types de montage et des entraxes de fixation différents. Cette particularité exige de prévoir un nombre important de réservations sur la joue, c'est-à-dire en moyenne, entre soixante et quatre-vingts.There are several manufacturers of accessories and operating mechanisms, each with different types of mounting and fixing centers. This particularity requires to provide a large number of reservations on the cheek, that is to say on average, between sixty and eighty.

Le mécanisme de manoeuvre, qu'il soit manuel ou motorisé, permet d'entraíner en rotation l'axe de volet roulant tel que décrit et sur lequel est fixé le tablier du volet roulant. Ainsi pour fermer l'embrasure le tablier se déroule autour de l'axe de volet roulant à la descente en coulissant dans des profilés en forme de U, communément appelés coulisses.The operating mechanism, whether manual or motorized, allows to rotate the roller shutter axis as described and on which is fixed the roller shutter deck. So to close the doorway the apron unrolls around the roller shutter axis on descent by sliding in U-shaped profiles, commonly known as backstage.

Lorsque les coulisses sont fixées sur la menuiserie devant celle-ci, le tablier s'enroule vers l'extérieur. Ce montage est de type à : «enroulement extérieur».When the slides are fixed to the joinery in front of it, the apron wraps outward. This assembly is of the “outside winding” type.

Lorsque les coulisses sont fixées sur la maçonnerie des tableaux de l'ouverture, le tablier s'enroule vers l'intérieur. Ce montage est de type à : «enroulement intérieur».When the slides are fixed on the masonry of the switchboards opening, the apron rolls inwards. This assembly is type of: "internal winding".

Pour réaliser l'incorporation d'un volet roulant, manoeuvré par exemple par un treuil dans un coffre-tunnel muni de ses dispositifs obturateurs, il faut, au préalable, fixer par vissage dans les réservations spécifiques prévues sur la paroi interne de chacune des joues, et après l'avoir centré, l'accessoire support d'arbre qui dans l'exemple choisi ci-dessous, est un coussinet à broche.To incorporate a rolling shutter, operated for example by a winch in a tunnel box fitted with its closing devices, it is necessary, at prior, fix by screwing in the specific reservations provided on the wall internal of each cheek, and after having centered it, the shaft support accessory which in the example chosen below, is a pin bearing.

Ce coussinet à broche comporte un doigt positionné parallèlement à la joue et dont l'extrémité libre doit être orientée vers la voûte du coffre-tunnel. Ce doigt est destiné à permettre l'accrochage d'une extrémité de l'arbre d'embout par un trou percé radialement dans celui-ci.This pin cushion has a finger positioned parallel to the cheek and the free end of which must point towards the roof of the tunnel safe. This finger is intended to allow the attachment of one end of the endpiece shaft by a drilled hole radially in it.

L'extrémité non télescopique de l'arbre support est montée au travers du mécanisme de manoeuvre puis est accrochée au coussinet à broche d'une joue. Le mécanisme de manoeuvre est ensuite orienté convenablement puis est fixé par des vis contre la paroi interne de ladite joue.The non-telescopic end of the support shaft is mounted through the operating mechanism then is hooked to the pin cushion of a cheek. The operating mechanism is then properly oriented and then fixed with screws against the inner wall of said cheek.

Une goupille est ensuite emmanchée dans le coussinet à broche pour éviter que ladite extrémité ne se décroche pendant le fonctionnement du volet roulant.A pin is then fitted into the pin pad to prevent that said end does not come off during the operation of the shutter.

La même opération est réalisée pour l'extrémité télescopique de l'arbre d'embout dont la course sera immobilisée par une bague vissée après avoir été accrochée sur le coussinet à broche.The same operation is carried out for the telescopic end of the shaft end cap whose stroke will be immobilized by a screwed ring after being hung on the pin pad.

Une goupille est également emmanchée dans ce coussinet à broche pour éviter le décrochement ultérieur de ladite extrémité télescopique.A pin is also fitted into this pin cushion for avoid the subsequent detachment of said telescopic end.

Cette technique de mise en place des constituants du volet roulant dans un coffre-tunnel déjà intégré à la maçonnerie, n'est pas aisée à réaliser sur chantier, du fait de la position peu ergonomique de l'opérateur, de la faible visibilité et accessibilité à l'intérieur de l'évidement du coffre-tunnel.This technique of placing the components of the roller shutter in a tunnel tunnel already integrated into the masonry, is not easy to achieve on site, from made of the operator's not very ergonomic position, the poor visibility and accessibility inside the tunnel-tunnel recess.

Pour pallier à ces difficultés, les fabricants de fermetures font la promotion du coffre-tunnel livré sur chantier déjà équipé de son volet roulant monté en atelier. En effet, le coffre-tunnel peut être disposé à bonne hauteur, retourné, c'est-à-dire avec son évidement exposé vers le haut pour faciliter la mise en place et la fixation des constituants du volet roulant.To overcome these difficulties, the manufacturers of fasteners are promoting tunnel-safe delivered to site already equipped with its rolling shutter fitted in the workshop. In Indeed, the tunnel safe can be placed at the right height, turned upside down, i.e. with its recess exposed upwards to facilitate the positioning and fixing of the components of the roller shutter.

Cette technique est possible si le tablier est monté «enroulement extérieur», c'est-à-dire, se déroulant devant la menuiserie avec les lames du tablier se présentant à l'envers.This technique is possible if the deck is mounted "outside winding", that is to say, taking place in front of the joinery with the blades of the deck appearing Upside down.

Cependant, lors des manutentions ou du transport, il arrive que le coffre et/ou le volet roulant soient détériorés au regard de la masse des constituants et sous l'effet des chocs.However, during handling or transport, the trunk and / or the roller shutter are deteriorated with regard to the mass of the constituents and under the effect shocks.

Par ailleurs, lorsque le coffre-tunnel muni de son volet roulant est intégré aux éléments de la maçonnerie en cours de construction, les constituants sont exposés aux projections de ciment ou d'enduit de façade inhérentes aux travaux du maçon ou de l'enduiseur. Il en découle une mauvaise présentation.Furthermore, when the tunnel-trunk fitted with its rolling shutter is integrated into the elements of the masonry under construction, the components are exposed projections of cement or facade plaster inherent in the mason's work or of the plasterer. This results in poor presentation.

Il arrive également que lors de la pose du coffre-tunnel muni de son volet roulant, le coffre-tunnel ne soit pas correctement centré par rapport à l'ouverture.It also happens that when installing the tunnel safe with its flap rolling, the tunnel box is not correctly centered in relation to the opening.

Une intervention ultérieure sur chantier sera nécessaire pour adapter la dimension du tablier, ce qui diminue l'intérêt du montage du volet en atelier.Subsequent intervention on site will be necessary to adapt the size of the apron, which reduces the advantage of mounting the shutter in the workshop.

D'autre part, la mise en place du volet roulant sur chantier dans un coffre-tunnel déjà intégré à la maçonnerie reste la solution la mieux adaptée lorsque le tablier est «enroulement intérieur», c'est-à-dire que les coulisses sont posées sur la maçonnerie de tableaux et que les lames du tablier se présentent dans le sens normal.On the other hand, the installation of the rolling shutter on site in a tunnel-safe already integrated into the masonry remains the most suitable solution when the apron is "internal winding", that is to say that the slides are placed on the masonry of tables and that the slats of the apron are facing in the normal direction.

Dans cette situation, la largeur prévue du tablier n'est définitive que lorsque les enduits des tableaux sont terminés.In this situation, the planned width of the deck is only final when the coatings of the paintings are finished.

On connaít également le document DE-U-94 09 619 qui présente un mécanisme d'entraínement d'un arbre de volet roulant. Le mécanisme est constitué d'une joue montée dans une extrémité d'un coffret. L'extrémité de l'arbre qui est destinée à être entraínée est montée, par l'intermédiaire d'un axe dans un roulement qui est logé dans une protubérance de la joue.We also know the document DE-U-94 09 619 which presents a mechanism for driving a tree roller shutter. The mechanism consists of a cheek mounted in one end of a cabinet. The end of the shaft which is intended to be driven is mounted, by means of an axis in a bearing which is housed in a protrusion of the cheek.

Le but de l'invention est donc de proposer un dispositif obturateur pour coffre-tunnel pour volet roulant qui permette un montage in situ des constituants du volet roulant dans le coffre-tunnel qui soit aussi aisé et rapide qu'un montage en atelier et qui supprime les tâtonnements et les risques d'erreurs de mauvais positionnement de ses constituants.The object of the invention is therefore to propose a shutter device for rolling shutter tunnel for in-situ mounting of the components of the roller shutter in the tunnel box that is as easy and quick as mounting in workshop and that removes the guesswork and the risk of wrong mistakes positioning of its constituents.

Un autre but de l'invention est de proposer un dispositif obturateur pour coffre-tunnel pour volet roulant qui permette un montage de type universel pouvant s'adapter à tous les types de volet roulant.Another object of the invention is to propose a shutter device for rolling shutter tunnel for universal mounting that can adapt to all types of roller shutters.

A cet effet, le dispositif obturateur destiné à fermer une extrémité latérale d'un coffre-tunnel pour volet roulant, ledit obturateur étant constitué notamment d'une joue associée à un talon, est remarquable en ce que la joue comporte un logement formé en protubérance de la face externe de la joue et destiné à recevoir intérieurement un manchon comportant un logement de section polygonale permettant de loger une extrémité conformée d'un arbre d'embout de volet roulant ou d'une broche d'un insert ou un support moteur.To this end, the shutter device intended to close a lateral end of a rolling shutter tunnel, said shutter being constituted in particular of a cheek associated with a heel, is remarkable in that the cheek has a housing formed in protrusion of the outer face of the cheek and intended to receive internally a sleeve comprising a housing of polygonal section for accommodating a shaped end of a rolling shutter end shaft or an insert pin or an engine mount.

Ainsi, le montage des constituants du volet roulant dans le coffre-tunnel est simplifié et rationalisé.Thus, the assembly of the components of the rolling shutter in the tunnel safe is simplified and streamlined.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le logement est cylindrique et comporte au moins un crantage qui est formé longitudinalement et en relief sur la paroi interne dudit logement cylindrique, ledit crantage permettant de chevaucher respectivement une encoche formée sur l'enveloppe du manchon pour permettre le positionnement en rotation dudit manchon dans le logement cylindrique.

    • Le coffre-tunnel 400 représenté à la Fig. 1 est prévu pour être intégré dans la maçonnerie M au-dessus de l'embrasure d'une fenêtre ou d'une porte d'un bâtiment. Il est en particulier encastré dans la maçonnerie M par ses deux extrémités latérales 402 et 404 et par la voûte V.The tunnel safe 400 shown in FIG. 1 is intended to be integrated into the masonry M above the doorway of a window or door of a building. he is in particular embedded in the masonry M by its two lateral ends 402 and 404 and through the vault V.

    Il est intégré dans la maçonnerie M de telle manière que l'évidement interne du coffre-tunnel 400 débouche dans ladite embrasure. It is integrated into the masonry M in such a way that the internal recess of the safe-tunnel 400 opens into said embrasure.

    Le dispositif obturateur D représenté à la Fig. 2 est globalement constitué d'une joue 100, d'un talon 300 et d'un élément d'ancrage 200.The shutter device D shown in FIG. 2 is globally constituted a cheek 100, a heel 300 and an anchor 200.

    Le dispositif obturateur D est destiné à être monté latéralement dans chacune des extrémités 402 ou 404 d'un coffre-tunnel 400 de façon à fermer de manière étanche à l'air provenant de l'évidement interne du coffre-tunnel, ladite extrémité latérale 402 ou 404 dudit coffre-tunnel 400.The shutter device D is intended to be mounted laterally in each ends 402 or 404 of a tunnel safe 400 so as to close so airtight from the internal recess of the tunnel safe, said end side 402 or 404 of said tunnel safe 400.

    Le coffre-tunnel 400 est représenté par des cellules en nids d'abeilles aux Figs. 2, 6, 7 et 8.The tunnel safe 400 is represented by honeycomb cells with Figs. 2, 6, 7 and 8.

    A la Fig. 2, le coffre-tunnel 400 est constitué d'une coque à base de polystyrène délimitée en longueur par deux extrémités latérales 402 et 404. Une seule extrémité latérale 402 est visible à cette Fig.In Fig. 2, the tunnel safe 400 consists of a shell based on polystyrene delimited in length by two lateral ends 402 and 404. A only lateral end 402 is visible in this FIG.

    La joue 100 du dispositif obturateur D comprend une platine 120 sur laquelle est disposée perpendiculairement une bordure d'appui 110.The cheek 100 of the shutter device D comprises a plate 120 on which is disposed perpendicularly a support edge 110.

    La bordure d'appui 110 est prévue pour épouser intimement les parois internes de la voûte V et des jambages J1 et J2 du coffre-tunnel, de manière à assurer le positionnement précis de la joue 100 par rapport à une extrémité latérale 402 ou 404 du coffre-tunnel 400. A la Fig. 2, seul le jambage J2 est visible dans cette vue en coupe.The support edge 110 is provided to closely match the walls internal of the vault V and the J1 and J2 legs of the tunnel safe, so as to ensure the precise positioning of the cheek 100 relative to a lateral end 402 or 404 of the tunnel safe 400. In FIG. 2, only the J2 leg is visible in this view in chopped off.

    La platine 120 est prolongée à sa périphérie dans un même plan par une collerette 126 perpendiculaire à la bordure d'appui 110.The plate 120 is extended at its periphery in the same plane by a flange 126 perpendicular to the support edge 110.

    La collerette 126 est destinée à entrer en contact avec une extrémité latérale 402 ou 404 d'un coffre-tunnel 400 pour servir de butée axiale au dispositif obturateur D lors de son montage. De ce fait, elle est également apte à former une barrière étanche au passage de l'air entre l'évidement interne du coffre-tunnel 400 et un doublage isolant intérieur du bâtiment.The flange 126 is intended to come into contact with a lateral end 402 or 404 of a tunnel safe 400 to serve as an axial stop for the shutter device D during assembly. Therefore, it is also able to form a barrier airtight between the internal recess of the tunnel safe 400 and a insulation lining inside the building.

    Un talon 300 est raccordé dans la partie basse de la platine 120 d'une joue 100 de manière perpendiculaire à ladite joue 100 pour former un dispositif obturateur D monobloc.A heel 300 is connected in the lower part of the plate 120 of a cheek 100 perpendicular to said cheek 100 to form a shutter device D piece.

    Le talon 300 est destiné à supporter la masse du volet roulant accroché à la platine 120 de la joue 100 en prenant appui sur l'assise de la maçonnerie M prévue à cet effet.The heel 300 is intended to support the mass of the rolling shutter attached to the plate 120 of the cheek 100 by resting on the seat of the masonry M provided at this effect.

    Le talon 300 permet également de soutenir le coffre-tunnel 400 lors de son intégration dans la maçonnerie M. The heel 300 also makes it possible to support the tunnel safe 400 during its integration into masonry M.

    Un élément d'ancrage 200 peut être inséré dans la partie de la bordure d'appui 110 destinée à entrer en contact avec la voûte V d'un coffre-tunnel 400, de manière à lier mécaniquement la joue 100 avec la voûte V du coffre-tunnel 400, après que le dispositif obturateur D ait été monté dans une extrémité latérale 402 ou 404 dudit coffre-tunnel 400.An anchor 200 can be inserted in the part of the support edge 110 intended to come into contact with the roof V of a tunnel safe 400, so as to mechanically link the cheek 100 with the arch V of the tunnel safe 400, after the shutter device D has been mounted in a lateral end 402 or 404 of said tunnel safe 400.

    La platine 120 comporte dans sa partie centrale un logement 130 formé en protubérance de la face externe de la platine 120. A cette Fig., le logement 130 a une section polygonale concave de forme quadrilobe.The plate 120 has in its central part a housing 130 formed in protrusion of the external face of the plate 120. In this FIG., the housing 130 has a concave polygonal section of quadrilobe shape.

    Ce logement 130 est destiné à recevoir un manchon 140 pouvant loger une première extrémité conformée 182 d'un arbre d'embout 180 de volet roulant. A la Fig. 2, la première extrémité conformée 182 a une section carrée.This housing 130 is intended to receive a sleeve 140 which can accommodate a first shaped end 182 of a tip shaft 180 of a roller shutter. To the Fig. 2, the first shaped end 182 has a square section.

    A la Fig. 3, le logement 130 comprend des crantages 132 visibles également à la Fig. 7 qui sont formés longitudinalement et en relief sur la paroi interne dudit logement 130. Ces crantages 132 sont répartis régulièrement sur ladite paroi interne.In Fig. 3, the housing 130 includes notches 132 also visible at Fig. 7 which are formed longitudinally and in relief on the internal wall of said housing 130. These notches 132 are distributed regularly over said internal wall.

    Ces crantages 132 sont délimités, d'une part, par une couronne 134 réalisée à l'entrée du logement 130 et, d'autre part, par une gorge 136 jouxtant le fond 138 du logement 130.These notches 132 are delimited, on the one hand, by a crown 134 produced at the entrance to the housing 130 and, on the other hand, by a groove 136 adjoining the bottom 138 of the housing 130.

    Un chanfrein d'entrée 139 est également réalisé sur les crantages 132 à l'entrée du logement 130.An inlet chamfer 139 is also produced on the notches 132 to the entrance to housing 130.

    Aux Figs. 4a, et 13a, le manchon 140 est constitué d'une enveloppe 142 de préférence de section cylindrique pouvant se loger dans le logement 130 décrit à la Fig. 3. Aux Figs. 4a et 13a, un épaulement 144 est formé à une extrémité de l'enveloppe 142 et peut se loger dans la couronne 134 du logement 130 pour servir de butée axiale lors du montage du manchon 140 dans le logement 130.In Figs. 4a, and 13a, the sleeve 140 consists of an envelope 142 of preferably a cylindrical section that can be accommodated in the housing 130 described in Fig. 3. In Figs. 4a and 13a, a shoulder 144 is formed at one end of the casing 142 and can be housed in the crown 134 of the housing 130 to serve as axial stop when mounting the sleeve 140 in the housing 130.

    Des encoches 146 sont formées longitudinalement en creux sur l'enveloppe 142 et sont réparties régulièrement sur ladite enveloppe 142. Ces encoches 146 sont destinées à chevaucher respectivement les crantages 132 de manière à permettre un blocage en rotation du manchon 140 dans le logement 130.Notches 146 are formed longitudinally in hollow on the envelope 142 and are distributed regularly over said envelope 142. These notches 146 are intended to overlap the notches 132 respectively so as to allow a rotation blocking of the sleeve 140 in the housing 130.

    Un chanfrein 148 est réalisé sur l'autre extrémité de l'enveloppe 142 afin de faciliter le montage du manchon 140 dans le logement 130.A chamfer 148 is produced on the other end of the casing 142 in order to facilitate the mounting of the sleeve 140 in the housing 130.

    Aux Figs. 4b et 13b, un logement de section polygonale 150 traverse longitudinalement le manchon 140 et admet le logement de la première extrémité conformée 182 de l'arbre d'embout 180. A la Fig. 4b, le logement de section polygonale 150 a une section carrée permettant de loger une tel qu'il est représenté à la Fig. 10.In Figs. 4b and 13b, a housing of polygonal section 150 crosses longitudinally the sleeve 140 and admits the housing of the first end 182 of the end-piece shaft 180. In FIG. 4b, the section housing polygonal 150 has a square section for accommodating one as shown in Fig. 10.

    A la Fig. 13b, le logement de section polygonale 150 a section polygonale concave de forme quadrilobe permettant de loger une extrémité 182 conformée d'un arbre d'embout 180, comme cela est montré aux Figs. 2, 5 et 14.In Fig. 13b, the housing of polygonal section 150 has polygonal section concave of quadrilobe shape allowing to house an end 182 shaped with a tip shaft 180, as shown in Figs. 2, 5 and 14.

    A la Fig. 4b, un premier doigt élastique 152 est formé dans une découpe réalisée au travers d'un côté 154 du logement de section polygonale 150. Ce premier doigt élastique 152 est désolidarisé partiellement et latéralement de la découpe réalisée au travers d'un côté 154 pour obtenir une élasticité de ses parois qui vont fonctionner comme un clip.In Fig. 4b, a first elastic finger 152 is formed in a cutout produced through one side 154 of the housing of polygonal section 150. This first elastic finger 152 is partially and laterally detached from the cutout made through a side 154 to obtain an elasticity of its walls which go function as a clip.

    Le premier doigt élastique 152 comporte à la Fig. 5 un ergot 156 pourvu d'un redan 158 qui ressort naturellement dudit coté 154.The first elastic finger 152 comprises in FIG. 5 a lug 156 provided with a step 158 which emerges naturally from said side 154.

    Ce redan 158 peut alors, à l'issue du logement de la première extrémité conformée 182 de l'arbre d'embout 180 dans le logement de section polygonale 150, se loger dans un orifice 184 réalisé dans ladite extrémité conformée 182, de manière à bloquer axialement l'arbre d'embout 180 dans le logement de section polygonale 150 du manchon 140, par clippage.This step 158 can then, at the end of the housing of the first end conformed 182 of the end-piece shaft 180 in the housing of polygonal section 150, be housed in an orifice 184 formed in said shaped end 182, so to axially lock the tip shaft 180 in the housing of polygonal section 150 of the sleeve 140, by clipping.

    Une première ouverture 160 réalisée au travers de l'épaulement 144 permet le passage d'un outil, par exemple l'extrémité d'un tournevis non représenté, afin qu'il puisse agir par arc-boutement sur un point d'encrage 162, constitué par exemple à la Fig. 5 d'un orifice 162, réalisé à l'extrémité libre du premier doigt élastique 152. De cette manière, l'outil peut déformer ledit doigt élastique 152 afin de faire ressortir le redan 158 de l'orifice 184 pour permettre l'extraction de la première extrémité conformée 182 de l'arbre d'embout 180 du logement de section polygonale 150.A first opening 160 made through the shoulder 144 allows the passage of a tool, for example the end of a screwdriver not shown, so that it can act by bracing on an anchoring point 162, constituted for example at the Fig. 5 of an orifice 162, formed at the free end of the first elastic finger 152. Of in this way, the tool can deform said elastic finger 152 in order to bring out the step 158 of port 184 to allow extraction of the first end 182 of the end-piece shaft 180 of the housing of polygonal section 150.

    A la Fig. 4b, un second doigt élastique 164 est formé dans une découpe réalisée dans une encoche 146 de l'enveloppe 142 du manchon 140.In Fig. 4b, a second elastic finger 164 is formed in a cutout produced in a notch 146 of the envelope 142 of the sleeve 140.

    Ce second doigt élastique 164 comporte à la Fig. 5 un ergot 166 pourvu d'un redan 168.This second elastic finger 164 comprises in FIG. 5 a lug 166 provided with a step 168.

    Ce redan 168 peut alors, à l'issue du logement du manchon 140 dans le logement 130, se loger dans la gorge 136 de manière à bloquer en translation le manchon 140 dans le logement 130.This step 168 can then, at the end of the housing of the sleeve 140 in the housing 130, be housed in the groove 136 so as to block in translation the sleeve 140 in housing 130.

    Une seconde ouverture 170 réalisée au travers de l'épaulement 144 permet le passage d'un outil, par exemple l'extrémité d'un tournevis non représenté, afin qu'il puisse agir par arc-boutement sur un point d'encrage 172, constitué par exemple à la Fig. 5 d'une face d'appui 172, réalisée à l'extrémité libre du second doigt élastique 164. De cette manière, l'outil peut déformer le second doigt élastique 164 et faire ressortir le redan 168 de la gorge 136 pour permettre l'extraction du manchon 140 du logement 130.A second opening 170 made through the shoulder 144 allows the passage of a tool, for example the end of a screwdriver not shown, so that it can act by bracing on an anchor point 172, constituted for example at the Fig. 5 of a bearing face 172, produced at the free end of the second elastic finger 164. In this way, the tool can deform the second elastic finger 164 and make pull out the step 168 from the groove 136 to allow the extraction of the sleeve 140 from the housing 130.

    Pour faciliter le passage de l'outil, une variante d'accès au point d'encrage 172, constituée d'un conduit 170a est réalisée dans la platine 120 de la joue 100 à la Fig. 7. Ce conduit 170a débouche, d'une part, dans la face interne de la joue 100 dans sa partie basse et, d'autre part, à l'intérieur du logement 130. Ainsi l'outil peut être introduit dans le logement 130 pour agir sur le point d'encrage 172. Ce conduit 170a a la particularité de ne pas traverser la joue 100, ce qui permet de conserver étanche la joue 100 lors du coulage d'un liant contre la face externe de ladite joue 100 pour la solidariser à la maçonnerie d'un bâtiment.To facilitate the passage of the tool, a variant of access to the anchoring point 172, consisting of a duct 170a, is produced in the plate 120 of the cheek 100 at the Fig. 7. This conduit 170a opens, on the one hand, into the internal face of the cheek 100 in its lower part and, on the other hand, inside the housing 130. Thus the tool can be introduced into the housing 130 to act on the anchoring point 172. This conduit 170a has the particularity of not crossing the cheek 100, which makes it possible to keep watertight the cheek 100 when casting a binder against the external face of said cheek 100 for the join to the masonry of a building.

    Un premier exemple de réalisation du montage d'un volet roulant dans un coffre-tunnel suivant l'invention est décrit ci-après avec les constituants d'un premier fabricant d'accessoires A.A first example of how to assemble a rolling shutter in a tunnel-vault according to the invention is described below with the constituents of a first accessories manufacturer A.

    Un mécanisme de manoeuvre 190 constitué à la Fig. 6 d'un treuil à manivelle est assemblé contre la face interne de la joue 100.An operating mechanism 190 constituted in FIG. 6 of a crank winch is assembled against the inner face of the cheek 100.

    Ce mécanisme de manoeuvre 190 comporte un entraíneur à crabot 192 pourvu d'un logement central 194.This operating mechanism 190 comprises a dog clutch 192 provided central accommodation 194.

    L'entraíneur à crabot 192 est prévu pour se loger dans un embout monté sur l'axe de volet roulant pour permettre l'entraínement en rotation dudit axe de volet roulant autour duquel s'enroule le tablier du volet roulant. L'axe de volet roulant et le tablier ne sont pas représentés.The dog clutch 192 is designed to be housed in a nozzle mounted on the roller shutter axis to allow the rotational drive of said shutter axis roller around which the roller shutter curtain is wound. The roller shutter axis and the apron are not shown.

    Le logement central 194 peut être traversé par l'arbre d'embout 180 lors du logement de la première extrémité conformée 182 de l'arbre d'embout 180 dans le logement de section polygonale 150 afin de permettre le centrage du mécanisme de manoeuvre 190 par rapport à la face interne de la joue 100, comme cela apparaít à la Fig. 2.The central housing 194 can be crossed by the endpiece shaft 180 during the housing the first shaped end 182 of the tip shaft 180 in the housing of polygonal section 150 to allow centering of the mechanism maneuver 190 with respect to the internal face of the cheek 100, as appears in the Fig. 2.

    A la Fig. 6, le mécanisme de manoeuvre 190 comporte également un moyen de fixation 196 tel qu'une ou plusieurs vis 196 à cette Fig., et qui est destiné à immobiliser l'orientation du mécanisme de manoeuvre 190 par rapport à la face interne de la joue 100 dans l'angle souhaité de raccordement à la genouillère équipée de sa manivelle (75 ° ou 90 °). A cet effet, les vis, au nombre de deux à cette Fig., sont logées respectivement dans des orifices réalisés de part et d'autre d'un palier de l'axe de manoeuvre du treuil à manivelle et se vissent dans des réservations 122 prévues dans la face interne de la joue 100.In Fig. 6, the operating mechanism 190 also includes a means fixing 196 such as one or more screws 196 in this Fig., and which is intended to immobilize the orientation of the operating mechanism 190 relative to the face internal cheek piece 100 at the desired angle of connection to the knee cap fitted its crank (75 ° or 90 °). For this purpose, the screws, two in number in this Fig., are housed respectively in holes made on either side of a bearing the operating axis of the crank winch and are screwed into reservations 122 provided in the inner face of the cheek 100.

    A titre d'exemple, l'axe de manoeuvre du treuil à manivelle est positionné à cette Fig. avec un angle de 75° par rapport à l'axe vertical de la joue 100.For example, the operating axis of the crank winch is positioned at this Fig. at an angle of 75 ° to the vertical axis of the cheek 100.

    Comme on peut le remarquer à la Fig. 7, ces réservations 122 sont disposées en arc de cercle autour du logement 130, ce qui permet de positionner un même mécanisme de manoeuvre 190 dans une position angulaire différente, ou de permettre le positionnement angulaire d'un autre type de mécanisme de manoeuvre 190 contre la face interne de la joue 100.As can be seen in FIG. 7, these reservations 122 are arranged in an arc around the housing 130, which makes it possible to position the same operating mechanism 190 in a different angular position, or allowing the angular positioning of another type of operating mechanism 190 against the inner face of the cheek 100.

    A la Fig. 14, la seconde extrémité conformée de l'arbre d'embout est montée de manière télescopique par rapport à l'embout. Cette seconde extrémité conformée de l'arbre d'embout peut recevoir un mécanisme de compensation de charge, non représenté, et destiné à réduire le couple de manoeuvre lors de l'entraínement en rotation du tablier par le mécanisme de manoeuvre.In Fig. 14, the second shaped end of the endpiece shaft is mounted telescopically to the end piece. This second shaped end of the tip shaft can receive a load compensation mechanism, not shown, and intended to reduce the operating torque during training in rotation of the deck by the operating mechanism.

    A cette différence près, la seconde extrémité conformée de l'arbre d'embout est assemblée à sa joue respective de la même manière que la première extrémité 182 l'est avec la joue 100.With this difference, the second shaped end of the tip shaft is assembled to his respective cheek in the same way as the first end 182 is with cheek 100.

    Pour réaliser le montage des constituants du volet roulant dans le coffre-tunnel préalablement intégré à une maçonnerie M d'un bâtiment, il faut, dans un premier temps, monter un manchon 140 tel qu'il est représenté aux Fig. 13a, 13b, 13c dans chaque logement 130 d'une joue 100, de manière à ce que le redan 168 du second doigt élastique 164 puisse se loger dans la gorge 136 dudit logement 130 pour permettre le clippage du manchon 140 dans ledit logement 130. Les encoches 146 chevauchent alors respectivement les crantages 132, ce qui assure un blocage en rotation du manchon 140 dans son logement 130.To mount the components of the roller shutter in the tunnel safe previously integrated into a masonry M of a building, it is necessary, in a first, mount a sleeve 140 as shown in Figs. 13a, 13b, 13c in each housing 130 of a cheek 100, so that the step 168 of the second elastic finger 164 can be housed in the groove 136 of said housing 130 for allow the clipping of the sleeve 140 in said housing 130. The notches 146 then overlap the notches 132 respectively, which ensures a blocking in rotation of the sleeve 140 in its housing 130.

    Il faut, dans un second temps, introduire dans l'évidement du coffre-tunnel 400, l'ensemble formé par l'axe de volet roulant équipé à une extrémité d'un embout muni de son arbre télescopique éventuellement compensé représenté à la Fig. 14, et à l'autre extrémité, représenté à la Fig. 5, d'un embout muni de son arbre d'embout 180 engagé dans le logement central 194 d'un mécanisme de manoeuvre 190 jusqu'à ce que l'entraíneur à crabot 192 soit logé dans l'embout.It is necessary, in a second step, to introduce into the recess of the tunnel safe 400, the assembly formed by the roller shutter axis fitted at one end with a nozzle fitted with its possibly compensated telescopic shaft shown in FIG. 14, and to the other end, shown in FIG. 5, a tip provided with its tip shaft 180 engaged in the central housing 194 of an operating mechanism 190 until that the dog clutch 192 is housed in the end piece.

    La première extrémité conformée 182 de l'arbre d'embout 180, montée au travers d'un mécanisme de manoeuvre 190, est logée dans le logement de section polygonale 150 du manchon 140 tel qu'il est représenté aux Figs. 13a, 13b, 13c. A cet effet, la première extrémité conformée 182 est orientée de manière à ce que l'ergot 156 du manchon 140 puisse se loger dans l'orifice 184 réalisé dans ladite extrémité conformée 182. A ce moment, la première extrémité conformée 182 est liée mécaniquement avec le manchon 140, et par conséquent, avec la joue 100 d'un dispositif obturateur D.The first shaped end 182 of the tip shaft 180, mounted at through an operating mechanism 190, is housed in the section housing polygonal 150 of sleeve 140 as shown in Figs. 13a, 13b, 13c. In this effect, the first shaped end 182 is oriented so that the lug 156 of the sleeve 140 can be housed in the orifice 184 made in said end shaped 182. At this time, the first shaped end 182 is linked mechanically with the sleeve 140, and therefore with the cheek 100 of a shutter device D.

    La seconde extrémité conformée de l'arbre d'embout est assemblée à sa joue respective de la même manière que la première extrémité conformée 182 l'est avec la joue 100.The second shaped end of the tip shaft is assembled to his cheek respective in the same way as the first shaped end 182 is with the plays 100.

    Le mécanisme de manoeuvre 190 est ensuite positionné en rotation puis fixé sur la face interne de la joue 100 par le moyen de fixation 196.The operating mechanism 190 is then positioned in rotation and then fixed on the internal face of the cheek 100 by the fixing means 196.

    Le tablier du volet roulant est ensuite fixé à l'axe par des attaches de tablier dont l'extrémité opposée au tablier est conçue pour s'encastrer dans une réservation prévue sur le tube de l'axe.The roller shutter deck is then fixed to the axis by deck ties whose end opposite the deck is designed to fit into a reservation provided on the axle tube.

    Le montage des constituants du volet roulant dans un coffre-tunnel permis par le dispositif obturateur selon l'invention se fait par assemblage manuel et ne nécessite pas l'utilisation d'outillage, excepté un tournevis pour la mise en place d'un ou deux moyens de fixation 196 du mécanisme treuil.The assembly of the components of the roller shutter in a tunnel-safe permitted by the shutter device according to the invention is made by manual assembly and does not require no use of tools, except a screwdriver for the installation of one or two fixing means 196 of the winch mechanism.

    Le montage de ces constituants ne peut s'opérer que lorsqu'ils sont correctement positionnés.The assembly of these components can only take place when they are correctly positioned.

    Un deuxième exemple de réalisation du montage d'un volet roulant avec un mécanisme de manoeuvre 190a de type à treuil dans un coffre-tunnel suivant l'invention est décrit ci-après avec les constituants d'un deuxième fabricant d'accessoires B. La particularité réside dans le fait que l'embout de l'axe du volet roulant côté mécanisme se comporte comme un moyeu qui, après avoir traversé ledit mécanisme, vient s'emboíter sur un tourillon.A second embodiment of the assembly of a roller shutter with a winch type operating mechanism 190a in a following tunnel safe the invention is described below with the components of a second manufacturer of accessories B. The particularity resides in the fact that the end piece of the flap axis rolling on the mechanism side behaves like a hub which, after having passed through said mechanism, fits on a trunnion.

    Dans cette première variante de réalisation représentée à la Fig. 8, un insert 186a est logé dans un manchon 140 monté dans le logement 130 d'une joue 100.In this first alternative embodiment shown in FIG. 8, an insert 186a is housed in a sleeve 140 mounted in the housing 130 of a cheek 100.

    A à la Fig. 9a, l'insert 186a est constitué d'un tourillon 187a prévu pour se loger dans la première extrémité d'un embout d'axe de volet roulant non représentés à la Fig. 8.A in Fig. 9a, the insert 186a consists of a journal 187a provided for lodge in the first end of a roller shutter axle end not shown at Fig. 8.

    A la Fig. 9a, ce tourillon 187a est prolongé de manière coaxiale par une broche de section carrée 188a, représentée également à la Fig. 9b et dont la dimension lui permet de se loger dans le logement de section polygonale 150 du manchon 140 représenté aux Figs. 9c et 9d. In Fig. 9a, this pin 187a is extended coaxially by a square section pin 188a, also shown in FIG. 9b and whose dimension allows it to be housed in the housing of polygonal section 150 of the sleeve 140 shown in Figs. 9c and 9d.

    Aux Fig. 9a et 9c, une gorge 189a est réalisée à la périphérie de la broche 188a. Cette gorge 189a est destinée à recevoir l'ergot 156 du premier doigt élastique 152 d'un manchon 140, comme cela est représenté à la Fig. 9c.In Figs. 9a and 9c, a groove 189a is produced at the periphery of the spindle 188a. This groove 189a is intended to receive the lug 156 of the first elastic finger 152 of a sleeve 140, as shown in FIG. 9c.

    Pour réaliser le montage des constituants du volet roulant dans le coffre-tunnel, il faut, dans un premier temps, emboíter un insert 186a dans le logement de section polygonale 150 du manchon 140, jusqu'à ce que l'ergot 156 du doigt 152 soit logé dans la gorge 189aTo assemble the components of the roller shutter in the tunnel safe, it is necessary, firstly, to insert an insert 186a in the housing of polygonal section 150 of the sleeve 140, until the lug 156 of the finger 152 is housed in gorge 189a

    Dans un second temps, il est possible de monter l'ensemble constitué par l'insert 186a et le manchon 140 représenté aux Fig. 4a et 4b dans le logement 130 d'une des deux joues 100 des dispositifs obturateurs du coffre-tunnel à équiper et un manchon 140, comportant un logement de section polygonale 150 et de section carrée dans le logement 130 de l'autre joue 100.In a second step, it is possible to mount the assembly constituted by the insert 186a and the sleeve 140 shown in Figs. 4a and 4b in housing 130 of one of the two cheeks 100 of the shutter devices of the tunnel safe to be equipped and a sleeve 140, comprising a housing of polygonal cross section 150 and of cross section square in the housing 130 of the other cheek 100.

    Ensuite, il faut mettre en place comme précédemment l'axe du volet roulant équipé à une de ses extrémités de l'embout engagé dans le mécanisme de manoeuvre 190a de type à treuil et équipé à l'autre extrémité d'un arbre d'embout télescopique de section carrée.Then, it is necessary to set up as previously the axis of the roller shutter fitted at one of its ends with the endpiece engaged in the operating mechanism 190a winch type and equipped at the other end with a telescopic end cap shaft square section.

    Pour cela, l'embout, muni de son mécanisme 190a de type à treuil, est emboíté sur le tourillon 187a de l'insert 186a. L'arbre d'embout télescopique 180g de section carrée de l'axe de volet roulant, qui est visible uniquement à la Fig. 10 est engagé dans le logement de section carré 150 du manchon 140, jusqu'à ce que l'ergot 156 soit logé dans l'orifice 184 réalisé dans l'extrémité dudit arbre d'embout. Puis l'arbre d'embout télescopique 180g est immobilisé en extension par une bague de serrage pour empêcher le déboítement de l'embout emboíté dans le mécanisme de manoeuvre 190a de type à treuil.For this, the end piece, provided with its winch-type mechanism 190a, is fitted on pin 187a of insert 186a. The 180g telescopic tip shaft square section of the roller shutter axis, which is visible only in Fig. 10 is engaged in the square section housing 150 of the sleeve 140, until the lug 156 is housed in the orifice 184 produced in the end of said endpiece shaft. Then the 180g telescopic tip shaft is immobilized in extension by a ring of tightening to prevent dislocation of the end piece fitted in the mechanism winch type operation 190a.

    Le mécanisme de manoeuvre 190a de type à treuil, est ensuite orienté dans l'angle souhaité, puis immobilisé sur la face interne de la joue 100 par le moyen de fixation 196.The winch-type operating mechanism 190a is then oriented in the desired angle, then immobilized on the internal face of the cheek 100 by means of fixing 196.

    Dans ce deuxième exemple de réalisation, les deux manchons 140 comportant respectivement un logement 150 de section carrée sont utilisés, soit côté mécanisme de manoeuvre, soit côté opposé au mécanisme de manoeuvre 190a de type à treuil.In this second exemplary embodiment, the two sleeves 140 comprising respectively a housing 150 of square section are used, either on the mechanism side maneuver, either side opposite to the winch type operating mechanism 190a.

    Le montage des constituants du volet roulant, d'un deuxième fabricant d'accessoires B, dans un coffre-tunnel permis par le dispositif obturateur selon l'invention, se fait par assemblage manuel et ne nécessite pas l'utilisation d'outillage, excepté un tournevis pour la mise en place du moyen de fixation du mécanisme de manoeuvre 190a de type à treuil.The assembly of the components of the roller shutter, from a second manufacturer of accessories B, in a tunnel safe enabled by the shutter device according to the invention is made by manual assembly and does not require the use of tools, except a screwdriver for the installation of the fixing mechanism of the winch type operation 190a.

    Un troisième exemple du montage d'un volet roulant avec mécanisme de manoeuvre à poulie à sangle, dans un coffre-tunnel suivant l'invention, est décrit ci-après avec les constituants d'un troisième fabricant C.A third example of mounting a roller shutter with a mechanism pulley operation with strap, in a tunnel box according to the invention, is described below with the constituents of a third manufacturer C.

    Pour réaliser un tel montage de volet roulant, il faut, dans un premier temps, emboíter un insert 186b dans le logement de section carrée 150 d'un manchon 140, jusqu'à ce que l'ergot 156 soit logé dans la gorge 189b, comme le montre la Fig. 11a.To make such a rolling shutter assembly, it is first necessary to fitting an insert 186b into the square section housing 150 of a sleeve 140, until the lug 156 is housed in the groove 189b, as shown in FIG. 11a.

    Cet insert 186b a la particularité de posséder une broche 188b de section carrée, dont l'épaulement 179b dépasse du manchon 140, lorsqu'il est monté dans celui-ci. Cet agencement permet de décaler le mécanisme de manoeuvre 190b de type poulie à sangle monté sur un tourillon 187b dudit insert 186b de la joue 100 représenté en trait fin à la Fig. 11a.This 186b insert has the distinction of having a 188b section pin square, the shoulder 179b of which protrudes from the sleeve 140, when it is mounted in this one. This arrangement makes it possible to offset the operating mechanism 190b of the type belt pulley mounted on a journal 187b of said cheek insert 186b 100 shown in thin lines in FIG. 11a.

    Dans un deuxième temps, on monte respectivement l'ensemble constitué par l'insert 186b et le manchon 140 dans chaque logement 130 des deux joues 100 des dispositifs obturateurs du coffre-tunnel à équiper, de la même manière que cela a été décrit précédemment.In a second step, the assembly consisting of: the insert 186b and the sleeve 140 in each housing 130 of the two cheeks 100 of the shuttering devices of the tunnel safe to be fitted, in the same way as was previously described.

    L'axe de volet roulant est équipé à chacune de ses extrémités d'un embout, par exemple de type rétractile totalement engagé. Côté mécanisme de manoeuvre, la poulie à sangle du mécanisme de manoeuvre 190b de type poulie à sangle s'emboíte sur la tête de l'embout. Chaque embout vient s'emboíter sur le tourillon 187b de l'insert 186b en étant rétracté de l'axe d'une course limitée par l'épaulement 179b sur ledit embout.The roller shutter axis is fitted at each of its ends with a nozzle, for example fully retractable type. On the operating mechanism side, the pulley with strap of the actuating mechanism 190b of the pulley type with strap fits on the head of the nozzle. Each end piece fits onto the pin 187b of the insert 186b by being retracted from the axis of a stroke limited by the shoulder 179b on said tip.

    Puis le tablier du volet roulant est mis en place comme dans le premier exemple. Ainsi, le montage des constituants du volet roulant, d'un troisième fabricant d'accessoires C, dans un coffre-tunnel, permis par le dispositif obturateur selon l'invention, se fait par assemblage manuel et ne nécessite pas l'utilisation d'outillage.Then the roller shutter deck is put in place as in the first example. Thus, the assembly of the components of the roller shutter, of a third manufacturer of accessories C, in a tunnel safe, enabled by the shutter device according to the invention, is done by manual assembly and does not require the use tooling.

    Un quatrième exemple de montage d'un volet roulant, avec moteur électrique, dans un coffre-tunnel suivant l'invention est décrit ci-après avec les constituants d'un quatrième fabricant E.A fourth example of mounting a roller shutter, with motor electric, in a tunnel safe according to the invention is described below with the constituents of a fourth manufacturer E.

    A la Fig. 12a, un support moteur 192c est fixé par clippage à un manchon 140c. In Fig. 12a, a motor support 192c is fixed by clipping to a sleeve 140c.

    A cet effet, le manchon 140c comporte, à la Fig. 12c, au moins un logement de section polygonale 142c formé en protubérance d'un épaulement 144c, et qui est destiné à permettre le centrage et le positionnement en rotation d'une ouverture de section polygonale 194c formée sur le support moteur 192c. On peut remarquer qu'à la Fig. 12a, la face externe de l'épaulement 144c est positionnée dans un même plan que la face interne de la joue 100 représentée en traits fins.To this end, the sleeve 140c comprises, in FIG. 12c, at least one accommodation of polygonal section 142c formed in protrusion of a shoulder 144c, and which is intended to allow centering and positioning in rotation of an opening of polygonal section 194c formed on the motor support 192c. We can notice that Fig. 12a, the external face of the shoulder 144c is positioned in the same plane that the internal face of the cheek 100 shown in fine lines.

    Le logement de section polygonale 142c comporte au moins une fente longitudinale dans laquelle est disposée une patte élastique 146c munie d'un redan 148c pouvant réaliser le clippage de l'ouverture de section polygonale 194c, comme cela est également visible à la Fig. 13a.The housing of polygonal section 142c has at least one slot longitudinal in which is arranged an elastic tab 146c provided with a step 148c capable of clipping the polygonal section opening 194c, as this is also visible in FIG. 13a.

    A la Fig. 12b, trois pattes élastiques 146c sont représentées.In Fig. 12b, three elastic tabs 146c are shown.

    De cette manière, le support moteur 192c peut être solidarisé par clippage sur le manchon 140c.In this way, the motor support 192c can be secured by clipping on the sleeve 140c.

    Pour réaliser le montage du volet roulant dont le mécanisme de manoeuvre est un moteur électrique, dans un coffre-tunnel, il faut, dans un premier temps, emboíter dans le logement 130 de la joue du dispositif obturateur, le manchon 140c muni du support moteur 192c. Côté opposé au mécanisme de manoeuvre, un manchon 140 comportant un logement de section carrée ou polygonale concave de forme quadrilobe est clippé sur la joue 100 suivant qu'il est utilisé un arbre d'embout télescopique conformé ou un arbre d'embout télescopique carré.To carry out the assembly of the roller shutter, the operating mechanism of which is an electric motor, in a tunnel safe, it is first necessary to fit in the housing 130 of the cheek of the shutter device, the sleeve 140c provided with the motor support 192c. Side opposite to the operating mechanism, a sleeve 140 having a concave square or polygonal shaped housing quadrilobe is clipped on the cheek 100 depending on whether a tip shaft is used shaped telescopic or a square telescopic end cap shaft.

    Dans un deuxième temps, l'axe de volet roulant équipé à une extrémité de son mécanisme électrique et à l'autre extrémité de son arbre d'embout télescopique est mis en place. La tête du moteur est emboítée et clippée dans le support moteur 192c et l'arbre d'embout est emboíté et clippé dans le manchon 140c.Secondly, the roller shutter axis fitted at one end with its electrical mechanism and at the other end of its telescopic tip shaft is put in place. The motor head is fitted and clipped into the motor support 192c and the tip shaft is fitted and clipped into the sleeve 140c.

    Puis, le tablier de volet roulant est mis en place comme dans les exemples précédents.Then, the roller shutter curtain is put in place as in the examples precedents.

    Ainsi, le montage des constituants du volet roulant d'un quatrième fabricant d'accessoires dans un coffre-tunnel, permis par la joue du dispositif obturateur selon l'invention, se fait par assemblage manuel, sans utilisation d'outillage.Thus, the assembly of the components of the roller shutter of a fourth manufacturer of accessories in a tunnel safe, enabled by the side of the shutter device according to the invention is made by manual assembly, without the use of tools.

    D'autres exemples de réalisation d'un montage de volet roulant dans un coffre-tunnel peuvent être envisagés, en particulier ceux concernant les différentes formes d'arbre d'embout du commerce.Other exemplary embodiments of a rolling shutter assembly in a tunnel safe can be considered, especially those relating to different commercial tip tree shapes.
