Description

La présente invention concerne un volet battant comportant au moins un panneau pourvu d'au moins une ouverture ménagée dans au moins une de ses parois, cette ouverture étant définie par ses deux arêtes périphériques et son flanc situé entre ses arêtes périphériques.The present invention relates to a swing shutter comprising at least one panel provided with at least one opening formed in at least one of its walls, this opening being defined by its two peripheral edges and its side located between its peripheral edges.

De manière connue dans le domaine du bâtiment, les volets en bois traditionnels peuvent comporter une ouverture pouvant être décorative. Ces volets en bois traditionnels ne sont néanmoins pas conçus pour mettre en valeur l'esthétique de cette ouverture notamment par un jeu de couleurs différentes.In a known manner in the building sector, the traditional wooden shutters may have an opening which may be decorative. These wooden shutters are not designed to highlight the aesthetics of this opening in particular by a play of different colors.

Les volets battants constitués de panneaux en matériaux autre que le bois, tels que par exemple des parois en aluminium prenant en sandwich un matériau isolant, ne sont pas conçus pour comporter ce type d'ouverture. En effet, toute ouverture réalisée dans ce type de panneau permet à l'humidité de pénétrer à l'intérieur du volet et donc à la corrosion de s'installer. Un premier exemple de réalisation décrit par le brevet américain US-A-2 596 569 concerne un volet métallique donnant l'apparence du bois et comportant au moins un panneau encadré par des montants. Ce volet comporte une simple ouverture découpée dont le flanc n'est pas protégé par un profilé de finition et dont l'esthétique n'est pas mise en valeur.Swing shutters made of panels made of materials other than wood, such as example of aluminum walls sandwiching an insulating material, are not designed to include this type of opening. Indeed, any opening made in this type of panel allows moisture to penetrate inside the shutter and therefore corrosion to settle. A first example of embodiment described by the patent American US-A-2,596,569 relates to a metal shutter giving the appearance of wood and comprising at least one panel framed by uprights. This component includes a simple cut-out opening whose side is not protected by a finishing profile and whose aesthetics are not highlighted.

D'autres exemples de réalisation décrits par le brevet américain US-A-3 221 456 et par le modèle d'utilité allemand DE-U-298 20 032 concernent respectivement un panneau et une porte comportant chacun une ouverture obturée par une vitre maintenue pour l'un par un profilé souple, pour l'autre par deux profilés rigides disposés en regard l'un de l'autre et assemblés par des formes complémentaires. Ces profilés permettent uniquement d'assurer le maintien des vitres mais ne sont pas conçus pour habiller une ouverture sans obturateur. Other exemplary embodiments described by American patent US-A-3,221,456 and by the German utility model DE-U-298 20,032 respectively relate to a panel and a door each having an opening closed by a window maintained for one by a flexible profile, for the other by two rigid profiles arranged opposite one another and assembled by complementary shapes. These profiles only ensure the maintenance of the windows but are not designed to cover an opening without a shutter.

Par conséquent, les différentes solutions existantes ne sont pas entièrement satisfaisantes car elles ne permettent pas de combiner le choix du matériau du panneau utilisé pour fabriquer le volet battant, l'amélioration de l'esthétique de ce volet battant par une ouverture et la mise en valeur de cette ouverture.Consequently, the various existing solutions are not entirely satisfactory because they do not allow the choice of panel material to be combined used to make the swing shutter, improving the aesthetics of this swing shutter by an opening and the development of this opening.

L'invention se propose d'apporter une solution originale à ce manque, en proposant un volet battant conçu pour comporter au moins une ouverture mise en valeur simplement, à moindre coût, de manière à offrir des possibilités infinies de personnalisation du volet, cette ouverture étant conçue pour éviter tout risque de pénétration d'humidité dans le volet battant.The invention proposes to provide an original solution to this lack, by proposing a swing shutter designed to have at least one highlighted opening simply, at a lower cost, so as to offer endless possibilities of customization of the shutter, this opening being designed to avoid any risk of penetration of moisture into the swinging shutter.

Dans ce but, l'invention concerne un volet battant tel que défini en préambule, caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte au moins une bordure de finition agencée pour entourer l'ouverture, être appliquée sur le panneau et solidarisée à lui par l'intermédiaire de moyens d'assemblage.To this end, the invention relates to a swing shutter as defined in the preamble, characterized in that it comprises at least one finishing border arranged for surround the opening, be applied to the panel and secured to it by through assembly means.

La bordure de finition peut comporter au moins un rebord latéral agencé pour s'appliquer sur au moins une des parois du panneau et de préférence deux rebords latéraux agencés pour s'appliquer chacun sur une des parois dudit panneau.The finishing border may include at least one side rim arranged to apply to at least one of the walls of the panel and preferably two edges lateral arranged to apply each on one of the walls of said panel.

Cette bordure de finition comporte avantageusement au moins une aile agencée pour s'appliquer sur ledit flanc de l'ouverture et protéger l'intérieur du volet notamment contre l'entrée d'humidité.This finishing border advantageously comprises at least one wing arranged to apply to said side of the opening and protect the interior of the shutter in particular against the entry of moisture.

Selon une première variante de réalisation, la bordure de finition est constituée d'une pièce unique réalisée dans un matériau déformable de manière à s'adapter à la forme de l'ouverture lors de son montage sur le panneau. According to a first alternative embodiment, the finishing border consists of a unique piece made of a deformable material so as to adapt to the shape opening when mounted on the panel.

Selon une deuxième variante de réalisation, la bordure de finition est constituée d'au moins deux pièces complémentaires pouvant comporter chacune un rebord latéral et une aile, ces ailes étant agencées pour recouvrir le flanc de l'ouverture et comporter dans leur zone de jonction des formes complémentaires, la zone de jonction étant de préférence située dans le flanc de l'ouverture pour être invisible.According to a second alternative embodiment, the finishing border consists of at least at least two additional pieces, each of which may have a side edge and a wing, these wings being arranged to cover the side of the opening and to comprise in their junction zone complementary shapes, the junction zone being preferably located in the side of the opening to be invisible.

Selon une forme de réalisation préférée, les formes complémentaires sont agencées pour être emboítables et former lesdits moyens d'assemblage.According to a preferred embodiment, the complementary forms are arranged to be nestable and form said assembly means.

Les pièces complémentaires sont de manière préférentielle réalisées dans des matériaux différents.The complementary parts are preferably made in different materials.

La bordure de finition est avantageusement réalisée dans au moins un matériau rigide, préformé avant montage et agencé pour que sa forme soit au moins partiellement complémentaire à celle de l'ouverture.The finishing border is advantageously made of at least one rigid material, preformed before mounting and arranged so that its shape is at least partially complementary to that of the opening.

Les moyens d'assemblage sont de préférence choisis dans le groupe comprenant au moins les colles, les mastics, les chevilles, les vis et les rivets.The assembly means are preferably chosen from the group comprising at least minus glues, mastics, dowels, screws and rivets.

Selon une autre variante de réalisation, la bordure de finition comporte au moins un élément central permettant d'obturer au moins partiellement l'ouverture, cet élément central étant composé d'au moins un matériau différent de celui de la bordure de finition et choisi parmi le groupe comprenant au moins le verre, le plastique.According to another alternative embodiment, the finishing border comprises at least one central element making it possible to at least partially close the opening, this element central being composed of at least one material different from that of the border of finish and chosen from the group comprising at least glass, plastic.

L'ouverture 3 en forme de coeur peut, de manière non limitative, avoir une forme et des dimensions variées pouvant être adaptées selon la demande. Dans le cas de panneau constitué de lambris, l'ouverture 3 peut chevaucher plusieurs lambris adjacents. Le panneau 2 peut de même comporter plusieurs ouvertures 3. L'ouverture 3 est définie par ses deux arêtes périphériques 10, 10' et son flanc 11 les séparant. Ce flanc 11 est constitué de l'épaisseur des deux parois 4, 4' et de la structure interne 7 du panneau 2, que cette structure interne 7 soit creuse ou pleine.The opening 3 in the shape of a heart can, in a nonlimiting manner, have a shape and various dimensions that can be adapted according to demand. In the case of panel made of paneling, the opening 3 can overlap several panels adjacent. The panel 2 can likewise have several openings 3. The opening 3 is defined by its two peripheral edges 10, 10 ′ and its side 11 separating them. This sidewall 11 is made up of the thickness of the two walls 4, 4 ′ and of the internal structure 7 of the panel 2, whether this internal structure 7 is hollow or solid.

Le volet 1 comporte au moins une bordure de finition 12 appliquée sur le panneau 2 de manière à entourer l'ouverture 3 et solidarisée au panneau 2 par l'intermédiaire de moyens d'assemblage. Cette bordure de finition 12 peut être constituée d'une pièce unique, comme illustré par les figures 2, 3A à 3D ou de pièces complémentaires 12a, 12b, comme illustré par les figures 4A à 4J.The shutter 1 has at least one finishing border 12 applied to the panel 2 so as to surround the opening 3 and secured to the panel 2 by means of assembly means. This finishing border 12 can consist of a piece single, as illustrated by FIGS. 2, 3A to 3D or complementary pieces 12a, 12b, as illustrated by FIGS. 4A to 4J.

Selon la figure 3A, la bordure de finition 12 comporte uniquement une aile 14 destinée à s'appliquer sur le flanc 11 de l'ouverture 3. Selon la figure 3B, la bordure de finition 12 comporte un ou deux rebords latéraux 13, 13' s'appliquant respectivement sur une des parois 4, 4' du panneau 2, ou sur les deux parois 4, 4'. Ces rebords latéraux pourront affleurer les arêtes périphériques 10, 10' ou être appliquées par exemple à une distance choisie selon l'effet esthétique recherchée. Selon la figure 3C, la bordure de finition 12 comporte une aile 14 associée à un rebord latéral 13, 13' sensiblement perpendiculaire à l'aile 14 s'appliquant respectivement sur une des parois 4, 4' et sur le flanc 11. Selon les figures 2 et 3D, la bordure de finition 12 comporte une aile 14 associée à deux rebords latéraux 13, 13' sensiblement perpendiculaires à l'aile 14 s'appliquant respectivement sur les deux parois 4, 4' et sur le flanc 11.According to FIG. 3A, the finishing border 12 only has one wing 14 intended to be applied to the side 11 of the opening 3. According to FIG. 3B, the edge of finish 12 has one or two side edges 13, 13 'applying respectively on one of the walls 4, 4 'of the panel 2, or on the two walls 4, 4'. These ledges side can be flush with the peripheral edges 10, 10 'or be applied by example at a distance chosen according to the desired aesthetic effect. According to Figure 3C, the finishing edge 12 comprises a wing 14 associated with a lateral flange 13, 13 ' substantially perpendicular to the wing 14 applying respectively to one of the walls 4, 4 'and on the side 11. According to Figures 2 and 3D, the finishing border 12 comprises a wing 14 associated with two lateral edges 13, 13 ′ substantially perpendicular to the wing 14 applying respectively to the two walls 4, 4 'and to the side 11.

La bordure de finition 12 peut être réalisée dans un matériau déformable lui permettant de s'adapter à la forme de l'ouverture 3 lors de son montage sur le panneau 2 tel que par exemple du caoutchouc, une matière synthétique souple, du ruban adhésif ou toute matière équivalente. La bordure de finition 12 peut également être réalisée dans un matériau rigide, préformé avant montage pour que sa forme soit au moins partiellement complémentaire à celle de l'ouverture 3, tel que par exemple de l'aluminium, des matières synthétiques dures, ou tout matériau équivalent. La solution du matériau déformable est particulièrement bien adaptée aux bordures de finition 12 constituées d'une pièce unique, notamment lorsque cette dernière comporte une aile 14 associée à deux rebords latéraux 13, 13' comme illustré par les figures 2 et 3D.The finishing edge 12 can be made of a deformable material allowing to adapt to the shape of the opening 3 when it is mounted on the panel 2 such as for example rubber, a flexible synthetic material, tape adhesive or any equivalent material. The finishing border 12 can also be made of a rigid material, preformed before mounting so that its shape is at less partially complementary to that of opening 3, such as for example aluminum, hard plastics, or any equivalent material. The solution deformable material is particularly well suited to finishing edges 12 made of a single piece, especially when the latter has a wing 14 associated with two lateral edges 13, 13 ′ as illustrated by FIGS. 2 and 3D.

Dans le cas d'une bordure de finition 12 constituée de pièces complémentaires 12a, 12b, ces pièces complémentaires 12a, 12b partagent l'une avec l'autre une zone de jonction située de préférence sur le flanc 11 de l'ouverture 3 de manière à être invisible des deux cotés du volet battant 1. Ces pièces complémentaires 12a, 12b peuvent comporter dans leur zone de jonction des formes complémentaires leur permettant d'être jointives .In the case of a finishing border 12 made up of complementary pieces 12a, 12b, these complementary parts 12a, 12b share with each other a zone of junction preferably located on the side 11 of the opening 3 so as to be invisible on both sides of the shutter 1. These complementary parts 12a, 12b can have complementary shapes in their junction area allowing them to be joined.

Selon une première forme de réalisation illustrée par les figures 4A à 4D, les formes complémentaires permettent de faciliter le montage des pièces complémentaires 12a, 12b l'une en regard de l'autre et sont respectivement formées par des plans parallèles 15, des plans parallèles biseautés 15', une lèvre 16a associée à une rainure 16b, des épaulements 17 ou toutes autres formes complémentaires équivalentes. Ces pièces complémentaires 12a, 12b peuvent être réalisées en matériau souple ou rigide et peuvent être solidarisées au panneau 2 ou entre elles par exemple par collage au moyen d'une colle, d'un mastic, par des organes de fixation tels que des vis, des rivets, des chevilles 18 comme illustré par la figure 4E ou tout autre moyen équivalent.According to a first embodiment illustrated by FIGS. 4A to 4D, the shapes complementary allow easy assembly of complementary parts 12a, 12b facing each other and are respectively formed by parallel planes 15, bevelled parallel planes 15 ′, a lip 16a associated with a groove 16b, shoulders 17 or any other equivalent complementary form. These parts complementary 12a, 12b can be made of flexible or rigid material and can be secured to panel 2 or to each other for example by gluing to by means of an adhesive, a putty, by fixing members such as screws, rivets, dowels 18 as illustrated in FIG. 4E or any other equivalent means.

Selon une deuxième forme de réalisation illustrée par les figures 4F à 4H, les formes complémentaires sont agencées pour créer au moins en partie les moyens d'assemblage qui permettent de solidariser la bordure de finition 12 sur le panneau 2. La bordure de finition 12, formée des pièces complémentaires 12a, 12b pièce, est solidaire par son emboítement dans l'ouverture 3 du panneau 2. Ces formes complémentaires peuvent éventuellement être associées à un collage ou à tout autre moyen permettant de constituer, en combinaison avec les formes complémentaires 12a, 12b, les moyens d'assemblage de la bordure de finition 12 sur le panneau 2. Selon ces exemples non limitatifs, ces formes complémentaires sont respectivement constituées d'une lèvre cylindrique 19 logée dans une rainure cylindrique 20, de deux crochets inversés 21, de deux queues d'aronde inversées 22. Ces pièces complémentaires 12a, 12b peuvent également être réalisées en matériau souple ou rigide.According to a second embodiment illustrated by FIGS. 4F to 4H, the shapes are arranged to at least partially create the means assembly which allow to secure the finishing edge 12 on the panel 2. The finishing border 12, formed of complementary pieces 12a, 12b piece, is secured by its fitting in the opening 3 of the panel 2. These shapes may be associated with a collage or any other means of constituting, in combination with complementary forms 12a, 12b, the means for assembling the finishing edge 12 on the panel 2. According to these nonlimiting examples, these complementary forms are respectively consisting of a cylindrical lip 19 housed in a cylindrical groove 20, of two inverted hooks 21, two inverted dovetails 22. These parts complementary 12a, 12b can also be made of flexible material or rigid.

Selon une troisième forme de réalisation illustrée par la figure 4I, les formes complémentaires permettent aux pièces complémentaires 12a, 12b de coopérer avec le panneau 2 pour leur solidarisation. Les pièces complémentaires 12a, 12b ont par exemple des bords prolongés par des nez de verrouillage 23 destinés à se loger dans un évidement correspondant prévu dans le panneau 2.According to a third embodiment illustrated in FIG. 4I, the shapes allow complementary parts 12a, 12b to cooperate with the panel 2 for their connection. The complementary parts 12a, 12b have by example of the edges extended by locking noses 23 intended to be housed in a corresponding recess provided in panel 2.

Selon une quatrième forme de réalisation illustrée par la figure 4J, les formes complémentaires sont associées à des doigts de verrouillage 24 portés par les pièces complémentaires 12a, 12b et destinés à s'encliqueter dans des trous correspondants prévus dans le panneau 2. Comme précédemment, les liaisons obtenues dans ces deux exemples peuvent être renforcées par tout moyen adapté. Les pièces complémentaires 12a, 12b de ces exemples peuvent être réalisées en matériau souple ou rigide.According to a fourth embodiment illustrated in FIG. 4J, the shapes complementary are associated with locking fingers 24 carried by the parts complementary 12a, 12b and intended to snap into corresponding holes provided in panel 2. As before, the connections obtained in these two examples can be reinforced by any suitable means. Additional parts 12a, 12b of these examples can be made of flexible or rigid material.

Lorsque la bordure de finition 12 est constituée des pièces complémentaires 12a à 12b, ces dernières pourront être réalisées dans des matériaux semblables ou différents et dans des couleurs identiques ou différentes.When the finishing edge 12 consists of complementary pieces 12a to 12b, these can be made of similar or different materials and in the same or different colors.

La figure 5 illustre une autre variante de réalisation d'une bordure de finition 12 comportant un élément central 21 obturant l'ouverture 3. Le contour de cet élément central 21 est pris en sandwich entre les deux pièces complémentaires 12a à 12b et repose sur un épaulement intérieur prévu sur chaque pièce complémentaire 12a, 12b. L'élément central 21 peut avantageusement être constitué d'un matériau différent de celui de la bordure de finition 12. Ce matériau est par exemple translucide et choisi dans le groupe comprenant au moins le verre, le plastique. Il est évident que tout autre matériau peut être utilisé pour réaliser cet élément central 21 qui peut également être prévu pour n'obturer qu'une partie de l'ouverture 3.FIG. 5 illustrates another alternative embodiment of a finishing border 12 comprising a central element 21 closing the opening 3. The outline of this element central 21 is sandwiched between the two complementary pieces 12a to 12b and rests on an internal shoulder provided on each complementary part 12a, 12b. The central element 21 can advantageously be made of a material different from that of the finishing border 12. This material is for example translucent and chosen in the group comprising at least glass, plastic. It is obvious that everything other material can be used to make this central element 21 which can also be designed to seal only part of the opening 3.

Les exemples illustrés en référence aux différentes figures et décrits ci-dessus ne sont évidemment en rien limitatifs et il est évident que cette ouverture décorative peut être appliquée à tout type de battant, volet, portail, porte, porte de garage.The examples illustrated with reference to the various figures and described above are not obviously in no way limiting and it is obvious that this decorative opening can be applied to any type of leaf, shutter, gate, door, garage door.

Le volet battant 1 de l'invention permet d'associer simplement à tout type d'ouverture une bordure de finition, cette association étant choisie selon le résultat esthétique recherché. La bordure de finition peut être réalisée dans un matériau différent et/ou une couleur différente du volet battant permettant ainsi d'obtenir une infinité de variétés de combinaisons possibles, et de personnaliser à souhait les volets battants.
