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 preferably made of plastic and intended to close each of the two lateral ends of a tunnel box for shutters.

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, the tunnels are intended to be built-in during construction to the masonry of a building above the window or doorway embrasures, as shown in the 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 box generally consists of a molded shell having a tunnel-shaped recess whose lower part is open to accommodate a 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 shutter device consists mainly of a cheek and a heel perpendicular thereto, is provided to receive a roller shutter consisting of a shutter axis, an apron and slides.

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 shutter axis is a cylindrical or octagonal metal tube on which can come hang the deck. This tube is equipped at each end with a tip force introduced. A tip shaft rotatably mounted in said tip is attached to the cheek via a shaft support accessory. According to another technique of the accessories manufacturer, the shaft end fits on a pivot fixed on the shaft support accessory called pivot support.

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 shutter axis, between the endpiece and the shaft support, takes place a manual operating mechanism such as belt pulley 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 according to the surface or the weight of the deck. The compensation is performed on the shaft of the end opposite the actuating 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 shutter shaft is motorized by a motorized operating mechanism, the motor assembly includes the nozzle. The shaft support accessory is then specific engine side and called 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 as to be able to vary the total length of the shutter shaft equipped when it is introduced into the recess of the tunnel box whose opening is reduced by the presence of heels.

Les faces internes des joues incluent des réservations prévues pourpermettre la fixation parvis 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 internal faces of the cheeks include reservations intended to allow the fastening to forecourt of the shaft support accessories, pivot supports, motor supports or to immobilize the winch in the desired angle of connection to a knee 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 mounting types and mounting distances. This feature requires 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'entraîner 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, rotates the shutter axis as described and on which is fixed the shutter apron. Thus, to close the doorway, the deck runs around the shutter axis at the descent by sliding in U-shaped profiles, commonly called slides.

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 on the joinery in front of it, the apron wraps outward. This assembly is of type to: "outer winding".

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 tables of the opening, the apron rolls inwards. This assembly is of type to: "inner 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 achieve the incorporation of a roller shutter, operated for example by a winch in a tunnel box provided with its shutter devices, it is first necessary to fix by screwing in the specific reservations provided on the inner wall of each of the cheeks and after having centered, the shaft support accessory which in the example chosen below, is a pin cushion.

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 whose free end must be oriented towards the vault of the tunnel box. This finger is intended to allow the attachment of one end of the tip shaft by a hole drilled radially therein.

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 and is attached to the pin cushion of a cheek. The operating mechanism is then properly oriented and is fixed by 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 cushion to prevent said end from being released during operation of the roller 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 performed for the telescopic end of the tip shaft whose stroke will be immobilized by a ring screwed after being hooked on the pin cushion.

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 to prevent the subsequent recess 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 setting up the components of the shutter in a tunnel box already integrated in the masonry, is not easy to realize on site, because of the ergonomic position of the operator, the low visibility and accessibility inside the recess of the tunnel box.

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 closures are promoting the tunnel box delivered on site already equipped with its shutter mounted in the workshop. Indeed, the tunnel box can be arranged at a good height, returned, that is to say with its recess exposed upwards to facilitate the establishment and fixing components of the 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 being 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, it happens that the trunk and / or the roller shutter are deteriorated with respect to the mass of constituents and under the effect of 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.Moreover, when the tunnel box equipped with its roller shutter is integrated with the elements of the masonry being built, the components are exposed to projections of cement or plaster coating inherent to the work of the mason or the coater. This results in a bad 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 during the installation of the tunnel box with its shutter, the tunnel box is not properly centered with respect 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.A later intervention on site will be necessary to adapt the dimension of the deck, which reduces the interest of the assembly of the shutter in 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 box already integrated with the masonry remains the most suitable solution when the deck is "inner winding", that is to say that the wings are laid on the masonry of boards and that the boards of the deck are 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 expected width of the deck is final only when the coatings of the boards are finished.

On connaît également le document DE-U-94 09 619 qui présente un mécanisme d'entraînement d'un arbre de volet roulant. Le mécanisme est constitué d'unejoue montée dans une extrémité d'un coffret. L'extrémité de l'arbre qui est destinée à être entraînée est montée, par l'intermédiaire d'un axe dans un roulement qui est logé dans une protubérance de la joue.The document is also known DE-U-94 09 619 which has a drive mechanism of a roller shutter shaft. The mechanism consists of a piece mounted in one end of a box. The end of the shaft which is to be driven is mounted, via an axle in a bearing which is housed in a protuberance 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 tunnel box for roller shutter which allows an in situ assembly of the components of the shutter in the tunnel box which is as easy and fast as a workshop assembly and which removes trial and error and the risk of incorrect positioning of its components.

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 provide a shutter device for trunk tunnel for roller shutter that allows a universal type of mounting that can adapt to all types of 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.For this purpose, the shutter device intended to close a lateral end of a tunnel box for roller shutter, said shutter consisting in particular of a cheek associated with a heel, is remarkable in that the cheek comprises a housing formed protuberance the outer face of the cheek and intended to receive internally a sleeve having a housing of polygonal section for accommodating a shaped end of a roller shutter tip shaft or a pin of an insert or a motor support.

Ainsi, le montage des constituants du volet roulant dans le coffre-tunnel est simplifié et rationalisé.Thus, the assembly of the components of the shutter in the tunnel box 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 pourpermettre le positionnement en rotation dudit manchon dans le logement cylindrique.According to another characteristic of the invention, the housing is cylindrical and comprises at least one notch which is formed longitudinally and in relief on the inner wall of said cylindrical housing, said notching for overlapping respectively a notch formed on the casing of the sleeve to permit the rotational positioning of said sleeve in the cylindrical housing.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le logement comporte une gorge jouxtant le fond du logement permettant de loger un redan formé sur un ergot disposé à l'extrémité d'un doigt élastique formé dans une découpe réalisée dans une encoche de l'enveloppe du manchon de manière à bloquer en translation le manchon dans le logement cylindrique.According to another characteristic of the invention, the housing comprises a groove adjoining the bottom of the housing for accommodating a step formed on a lug disposed at the end of an elastic finger formed in a cut made in a notch of the envelope the sleeve so as to lock in translation the sleeve in the cylindrical housing.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le manchon comporte un point d'ancrage formé sur l'ergot permettant à un outil ayant traversé une ouverture réalisée au travers d'un épaulement dudit manchon de déformer le doigt élastique en agissant sur ledit point d'ancrage pour faire ressortir le redan de la gorge et permettre l'extraction du manchon du logement.According to another characteristic of the invention, the sleeve comprises an anchor point formed on the lug allowing a tool which has passed through an opening made through a shoulder of said sleeve to deform the elastic finger by acting on said point d anchoring to bring out the redan of the groove and allow the extraction of the housing sleeve.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le dispositif obturateur dont la joue comporte une platine est remarquable en ce qu'un conduit est réalisé dans la platine, ledit conduit débouchant, d'une part, dans la face interne de la joue et, d'autre part, à l'intérieur du logement pour permettre l'introduction d'un outil dans le logement pour agir sur le point d'encrage.According to another characteristic of the invention, the shutter device whose cheek comprises a plate is remarkable in that a duct is made in the plate, said duct opening on the one hand, in the inner face of the cheek and, on the other hand, inside the housing to allow the introduction of a tool into the housing to act on the inking point.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le manchon comporte un ergot pourvu d'un redan formé sur un doigt élastique formé dans une découpe réalisée au travers d'un côté du logement de section polygonale permettant audit redan de se loger dans un orifice ou dans une gorge réalisés respectivement dans l'extrémité conformée ou dans l'insert, de manière à bloquer respectivement axialement l'arbre d'embout ou l'insert dans le logement de section polygonale du manchon, par clippage.According to another characteristic of the invention, the sleeve comprises a lug provided with a step formed on an elastic finger formed in a cut made through a polygonal section of the housing housing allowing said redan to be housed in a hole or in a groove respectively formed in the shaped end or in the insert, so as respectively axially lock the tip shaft or the insert in the housing of polygonal section of the sleeve, by clipping.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le manchon comporte un point d'ancrage formé à l'extrémité libre du doigt élastique permettant à un outil ayant traversé une ouverture réalisée au travers de l'épaulement de déformer le doigt élastique pour faire ressortir l'ergot de l'orifice pour permettre l'extraction de l'arbre d'embout ou de l'insert du manchon.According to another characteristic of the invention, the sleeve comprises an anchor point formed at the free end of the elastic finger allowing a tool having passed through an opening made through the shoulder to deform the elastic finger to bring out the pin of the orifice to allow extraction of the tip shaft or the insert of the sleeve.

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 box 400 shown at Fig. 1 is intended to be integrated into the masonry M above the doorway of a window or door of a building. It is in particular embedded in the masonry M by its two lateral ends 402 and 404 and by 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 in the masonry M so that the internal recess of the tunnel trough 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 represented at Fig. 2 generally consists of a cheek 100, a heel 300 and an anchoring element 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 end 402 or 404 of a tunnel box 400 so as to seal air from the internal recess of the tunnel box, said lateral end 402 or 404 of said tunnel box 400.

Le coffre-tunnel 400 est représenté par des cellules en nids d'abeilles aux Figs. 2, 6, 7 et 8.Tunnel box 400 is represented by honeycomb cells in 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.To the Fig. 2 , the tunnel box 400 consists of a polystyrene shell delimited in length by two lateral ends 402 and 404. Only one 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 bearing rim 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 designed to intimately fit the inner walls of the vault V and jambs J1 and J2 of the tunnel box, so as to ensure the precise positioning of the cheek 100 with respect to a lateral end 402 or 404 of the tunnel box 400. At the Fig. 2 , only the jamb J2 is visible in this sectional view.

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 rim 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 box 400 to serve as an axial stop for the shutter device D during its assembly. Therefore, it is also able to form a tight barrier to the passage of air between the internal recess of the tunnel box 400 and an insulating 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 one-piece shutter device D.

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 designed to support the mass of the shutter hooked to the plate 120 of the cheek 100 by resting on the base of the masonry M provided for this purpose.

Le talon 300 permet également de soutenir le coffre-tunnel 400 lors de son intégration dans la maçonnerie M.The heel 300 also supports the tunnel box 400 when it is integrated in the 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 anchoring element 200 may be inserted in the part of the support rim 110 intended to come into contact with the vault V of a tunnel box 400, so as to mechanically link the cheek 100 with the vault V of the box -Tunnel 400, after the shutter device D has been mounted in a lateral end 402 or 404 of said tunnel box 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 protruding from the outer 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 shaped end 182 of a shutter shaft 180 of the 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.To the Fig. 3 , the housing 130 includes notches 132 also visible to the Fig. 7 which are formed longitudinally and in relief on the inner wall of said housing 130. These notches 132 are evenly distributed on said inner 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 ring 134 made at the entrance of the housing 130 and, on the other hand, by a groove 136 adjacent to 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 entry chamfer 139 is also made on the notches 132 at the entrance of the 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.To the Figs. 4a , and 13a , the sleeve 140 consists of a casing 142, preferably of cylindrical section, which can be housed in the housing 130 described in FIG. Fig. 3 . To the 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 an 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 recessed on the casing 142 and are evenly distributed on said casing 142. These notches 146 are intended to overlap respectively the notches 132 so as to allow rotational locking 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 formed on the other end of the casing 142 to facilitate 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.To the Figs. 4b and 13b , a housing of polygonal section 150 extends longitudinally through the sleeve 140 and accepts the housing of the first shaped end 182 of the tip shaft 180. Fig. 4b , the housing of polygonal section 150 has a square section for housing one as shown in FIG. 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.To the Fig. 13b , the polygonal section housing 150 a concave polygonal section of quadrilobe shape for accommodating a shaped end 182 of a tip shaft 180, as shown in FIGS. 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.To the Fig. 4b a first elastic finger 152 is formed in a cut made through a side 154 of the housing of polygonal section 150. This first elastic finger 152 is partially and laterally disengaged from the cut made through a side 154 to obtain a elasticity of its walls that will work 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 at the Fig. 5 a lug 156 provided with a step 158 which naturally emerges 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 shaped end 182 of the tip shaft 180 in the housing of polygonal section 150, be housed in an orifice 184 formed in said shaped end 182, so as to axially locking 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 not shown screwdriver, so that it can act by jamming on an inking point 162, constituted for example at the Fig. 5 an orifice 162, made at the free end of the first elastic finger 152. In this way, the tool can deform said elastic finger 152 to bring out the redan 158 of the orifice 184 to allow the extraction of the shaped first end 182 of the tip shaft 180 of the polygonal section housing 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.To the Fig. 4b a second elastic finger 164 is formed in a cut made in a notch 146 of the casing 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 has the Fig. 5 a lug 166 provided with a redan 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 redan 168 can then, after housing the sleeve 140 in the housing 130, fit into the groove 136 so as to lock in translation the sleeve 140 in the 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 not shown screwdriver, so that it can act by jamming on an inking point 172, constituted for example at the Fig. 5 a bearing face 172, made at the free end of the second elastic finger 164. In this way, the tool can deform the second elastic finger 164 and bring out the redan 168 of the groove 136 to allow the extraction the sleeve 140 of 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 inking point 172, consisting of a conduit 170a is formed in the plate 120 of the cheek 100 to the Fig. 7 . This duct 170a opens, on the one hand, in the inner 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 at the point of inking 172. This duct 170a has the particularity of not crossing the cheek 100, which makes it possible to keep the cheek 100 watertight when pouring a binder against the external face of said cheek 100 to secure it 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 embodiment of the mounting of a shutter in a tunnel box according to the invention is described below with the components of a first manufacturer of accessories 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.A maneuvering mechanism 190 constituted at the Fig. 6 a crank winch is assembled against the inner face of the cheek 100.

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

L'entraîneur à crabot 192 est prévu pour se loger dans un embout monté sur l'axe de volet roulant pour permettre l'entraînement 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 trainer 192 is intended to be housed in a nozzle mounted on the shutter axis to allow the rotational drive of said shutter axis around which rolls the rolling shutter apron. The shutter shaft and the deck 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 apparaît à la Fig. 2.The central housing 194 can be traversed by the tip shaft 180 when the shaped first end 182 of the tip shaft 180 is accommodated in the housing of polygonal section 150 in order to allow the centering mechanism 190 to be centered by means of relative to the inner face of cheek 100, as appears in 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.To the Fig. 6 , the operating mechanism 190 also comprises a fixing means 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 inner face of the cheek 100 in the desired angle of connection to the knee lever equipped with its crank (75 ° or 90 °). For this purpose, the screws, of which there are two in this FIG., Are respectively housed in orifices made on either side of a bearing of the operating shaft of the crank winch and are screwed into reservations. 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.By way of example, the axis of operation of the crank winch is positioned in this FIG. with an angle of 75 ° with respect 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 allows to position the same operating mechanism 190 in a different angular position, or to allow 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'entraînement en rotation du tablier par le mécanisme de manoeuvre.To the Fig. 14 the shaped second end of the tip shaft is telescopically mounted with respect to the tip. This shaped second end of the tip shaft can receive a load compensation mechanism, not shown, and intended to reduce the operating torque during the drive 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 shaped second end of the tip shaft is assembled to its respective cheek in the same way that the first end 182 is with the 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 shutter in the tunnel box previously integrated in a masonry M of a building, it is necessary, in a first step, to mount a sleeve 140 as shown in FIGS. Fig.13a, 13b, 13c in each housing 130 a cheek 100, so that the redan 168 of the second elastic finger 164 can be housed in the groove 136 of said housing 130 to allow clipping of the sleeve 140 in said housing 130. The notches 146 overlap then respectively the notches 132, which ensures a locking 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'entraîneur à crabot 192 soit logé dans l'embout.It is necessary, in a second step, to introduce into the recess of the tunnel box 400, the assembly formed by the shutter axis equipped at one end with a tip provided with its optionally compensated telescopic shaft shown in FIG. Fig. 14 , and at the other end, represented at Fig. 5 , a tip provided with its tip shaft 180 engaged in the central housing 194 of an operating mechanism 190 until the dog trainer 192 is housed in the tip.

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 through an operating mechanism 190, is housed in the polygonal section housing 150 of the sleeve 140 as shown in FIGS. Figs. 13a, 13b, 13c . For this purpose, the first shaped end 182 is oriented so that the lug 156 of the sleeve 140 can be housed in the orifice 184 formed in said shaped end 182. At this moment, the first shaped end 182 is mechanically linked. 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 shaped second end of the tip shaft is assembled to its respective cheek of the same way that the first shaped end 182 is with the cheek 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 inner 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 rolling shutter deck is then fixed to the axis by apron fasteners whose opposite end to the deck is designed to fit into a reservation provided on the shaft 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 mounting of the components of the shutter in a tunnel box enabled by the shutter device according to the invention is done by manual assembly and does not require the use of tools, except a screwdriver for the implementation of one or two fastening 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 constituents 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'emboîter sur un tourillon.A second exemplary embodiment of mounting a shutter with a winch-type operating mechanism 190a in a tunnel box according to the invention is described below with the components of a second accessory manufacturer B. particularity lies in the fact that the tip of the axis of the roller shutter mechanism side behaves as a hub which, after passing 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 embodiment shown in FIG. 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 to the Fig. 9a , the insert 186a is constituted by a pin 187a intended to be housed in the first end of a rolling shutter pin end not shown in FIG. 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.To the Fig. 9a , this journal 187a is extended coaxially by a square section pin 188a, also shown in FIG. Fig. 9b and whose dimension allows it to be housed in the housing of polygonal section 150 of the sleeve 140 shown in FIGS. 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.To the Fig. 9a and 9c , a groove 189a is made on the periphery of the pin 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. Fig. 9c .

Pour réaliser le montage des constituants du volet roulant dans le coffre-tunnel, il faut, dans un premier temps, emboîter 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 mount the constituents of the shutter in the tunnel box, it is necessary, firstly, to insert an insert 186a in the polygonal section housing 150 of the sleeve 140, until the pin 156 of the finger 152 be housed in the throat 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. Fig. 4a and 4b in the housing 130 of one of the two cheeks 100 of the shutter devices of the tunnel box to be equipped and a sleeve 140, having a housing of polygonal section 150 and square section in the housing 130 of the other plays 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 before the axis of the roller shutter equipped at one of its ends with the nozzle engaged in the winch-type operating mechanism 190a and equipped at the other end with a tip shaft. telescopic square section.

Pour cela, l'embout, muni de son mécanisme 190a de type à treuil, est emboîté 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 déboîtement de l'embout emboîté dans le mécanisme de manoeuvre 190a de type à treuil.For this purpose, the end piece, provided with its winch type mechanism 190a, is fitted on the journal 187a of the insert 186a. The telescopic nozzle shaft 180g square section of the roller shutter shaft, which is visible only to the Fig. 10 is engaged in the square section housing 150 of the sleeve 140, until the lug 156 is housed in the orifice 184 formed in the end of said end shaft. Then the telescopic tip shaft 180g is immobilized in extension by a clamping ring to prevent disengagement of the nipple fitted into the winch-type operating mechanism 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 hoist-type operating mechanism 190a is then oriented in the desired angle and then immobilized on the inner face of the cheek 100 by the fastening means 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 respectively comprising a housing 150 of square section are used, either on the operating mechanism, or on the opposite side 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 mounting of the components of the shutter, a second manufacturer of accessories B, in a tunnel-box allowed by the shutter device according to the invention is done by manual assembly and does not require the use of tools, except a screwdriver for setting up the fastening means of the hoist-type operating mechanism 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 the mounting of a roller shutter with a belt pulley operating mechanism, 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, emboîter 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. 11 a.To achieve such a roller shutter assembly, it is necessary, at first, to fit an insert 186b in the square section housing 150 of a sleeve 140, until the lug 156 is housed in the groove 189b, as shown in Fig. 11 at.

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. 11 a.This insert 186b has the particularity of having a pin 188b of square section, the shoulder 179b protrudes from the sleeve 140, when mounted therein. This arrangement makes it possible to shift the belt-type operating mechanism 190b mounted on a journal 187b of said insert 186b of the cheek 100, shown in a thin line on FIG. Fig. 11 at.

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 constituted by the insert 186b and the sleeve 140 is respectively mounted in each housing 130 of the two cheeks 100 of the shutter devices of the tunnel box to be equipped, in the same manner as 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'emboîte sur la tête de l'embout. Chaque embout vient s'emboîter 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 axis of shutter is equipped at each of its ends with a tip, for example retractile type totally engaged. Side of the operating mechanism, the belt pulley 190b of the belt-type pulley mechanism engages the head of the nozzle. Each end piece is fitted on the journal 187b of the insert 186b by being retracted from the axis of a race limited by the shoulder 179b on said endpiece.

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 shutter apron is put in place as in the first example. Thus, the assembly of the components of the shutter, a third manufacturer of accessories C, in a tunnel box, allowed by the shutter device according to the invention, is done by manual assembly and does not require the use of tools.

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 shutter, with electric motor, in a tunnel box 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.To the 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.For this purpose, the sleeve 140c comprises, at the Fig. 12c at least one housing of polygonal section 142c formed protruding a shoulder 144c, and which is intended to allow the centering and rotational positioning of an opening of polygonal section 194c formed on the motor support 192c. We can notice that Fig. 12a , the outer face of the shoulder 144c is positioned in the same plane as the inner 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 polygonal section housing 142c comprises at least one longitudinal slot in which is disposed an elastic tab 146c provided with a step 148c that can effect the clipping of the opening of polygonal section 194c, as is also visible in FIG. Fig. 13a .

A la Fig. 12b, trois pattes élastiques 146c sont représentées.To the 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, emboîter 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 mount the rolling shutter whose operating mechanism is an electric motor, in a tunnel box, it is necessary, in a first step, to engage in the housing 130 of the cheek of the shutter device, the sleeve 140c provided with the engine mount 192c. Opposite side of the operating mechanism, a sleeve 140 having a quadrilobe-shaped square or polygonal section quadrupole housing is clipped onto the cheek 100 according to whether a shaped telescopic nozzle shaft or a square telescopic nozzle shaft is used.

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 emboîtée et clippée dans le support moteur 192c et l'arbre d'embout est emboîté et clippé dans le manchon 140c.In a second step, the shutter shaft equipped at one end of its electric mechanism and at the other end of its telescopic end shaft is put in place. The motor head is nested 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 shutter apron is put in place as in the previous examples.

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 box, allowed by the cheek of the shutter device according to the invention is done 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 roller shutter assembly in a tunnel box can be envisaged, in particular those relating to the various shapes of the commercial bit shaft.
