Description

La présente invention se rapporte à un dispositif de guidage pour le guidage en partie haute et/ou en partie basse d'un organe d'obturation d'une ouverture sensiblement rectangulaire ménagée dans une cloison séparant deux espaces, l'un dit intérieur, l'autre dit extérieur, ledit organe étant constitué d'au moins une paroi, ayant la forme générale d'un arc de cylindre et étant mobile par rotation selon un axe vertical coïncidant avec son propre axe entre une position d'obturation extérieure dans laquelle ledit organe s'inscrit dans l'ouverture en l'obturant complètement et en étant situé dans ledit espace extérieur et une position d'obturation intérieure dans laquelle ledit organe s'inscrit dans l'ouverture en l'obturant complètement et en étant situé dans ledit espace intérieur.The present invention relates to a guiding device for the guidance in upper part and / or lower part of a shutter member with an aperture substantially rectangular formed in a partition separating two spaces, one said inside, the other says outside, said member being constituted by at least one wall, having the general shape of a cylinder arc and being rotatable about a vertical axis coinciding with its own axis between an outer sealing position in which said body fits into the opening by closing it completely and being located in said outer space and a internal sealing position in which said member fits into the opening in closing it completely and being located in said interior space.

Elle concerne plus particulièrement un dispositif de guidage pour le guidage en partie haute et/ou en partie basse d'un organe d'obturation tel que celui connu de la demande de brevet européen N° EP 383 709.It relates more particularly to a guiding device for the guidance in upper part and / or in the lower part of a closure member such as that known from the European Patent Application No. EP 383 709.

Dans une variante de réalisation du dispositif d'obturation présenté dans cette demande de brevet, un guide annulaire supérieur et un guide annulaire inférieur sont positionnés respectivement à la partie supérieure et inférieure des montants de l'ouverture. L'axe vertical de symétrie de l'organe d'obturation passe par le centre du rayon de chacun des guides annulaires.In an alternative embodiment of the closure device presented in this patent application, an upper annular guide and a lower annular guide are positioned respectively at the upper and lower part of the amounts of the opening. The vertical axis of symmetry of the shutter member passes through the center of the radius of each annular guides.

Ces guides sont destinés à faciliter la rotation de l'organe d'obturation autour de son axe vertical lors du passage d'une position d'obturation extérieure ou intérieure vers une position d'obturation respectivement intérieure ou extérieure ou vers une position intermédiaire.These guides are intended to facilitate the rotation of the shutter member around its vertical axis when passing from an outer or inner shutter position to a shutter position respectively inner or outer or to a position intermediate.

Jusqu'à maintenant, ces guides étaient fabriqués à partir de profilé en aluminium qui étaient ensuite cintrés au bon diamètre. Until now, these guides were made from aluminum profile which were then bent to the correct diameter.

Toutefois, cette opération de cintrage est difficile à réaliser avec précision car les guides doivent présenter un diamètre très grand (de l'ordre de la largeur de l'ouverture), avec une très grande précision. En effet, si le diamètre n'est pas correct, l'organe d'obturation ne sera pas parfaitement guidé et risque d'être difficile à manipuler en raison des frottements importants qui risquent de survenir dans les parties de guide ne présentant pas le bon diamètre.However, this bending operation is difficult to achieve precisely because the guides must have a very large diameter (of the order of the width of the opening), with great precision. Indeed, if the diameter is not correct, the organ shutter will not be perfectly guided and may be difficult to handle due to significant friction which may occur in the guide parts not presenting not the right diameter.

Le but de l'invention est de pallier ces inconvénients pour la partie haute et/ou pour la partie basse du dispositif d'obturation en proposant un système de guidage constitué d'au moins une portion rigide présentant au moins une rainure circulaire et d'un rail destiné à coopérer avec ladite rainure circulaire. Ainsi, lorsque le rail coopère avec la rainure circulaire, il épouse nécessairement la forme circulaire de la rainure et devient à son tour exactement circulaire sur toute sa longueur.The object of the invention is to overcome these disadvantages for the upper part and / or for the lower part of the shutter device by proposing a guiding system consisting of at least one rigid portion having at least one circular groove and a rail for cooperating with said circular groove. Thus, when the rail cooperates with the circular groove, it necessarily marries the circular shape of the groove and becomes its turn exactly circular throughout its length.

La présente invention a ainsi pour objet un dispositif de guidage pour le guidage en partie haute et/ou en partie basse d'un organe d'obturation d'une ouverture sensiblement rectangulaire ménagée dans une cloison et séparant deux espaces, l'un dit intérieur, l'autre dit extérieur, ledit organe étant constitué d'au moins une paroi, ayant la forme générale d'un arc de cylindre et étant mobile par rotation selon un axe vertical coïncidant avec son propre axe entre une position d'obturation extérieure dans laquelle ledit organe s'inscrit dans l'ouverture en l'obturant complètement et en étant situé dans ledit espace extérieur et une position d'obturation intérieure dans laquelle ledit organe s'inscrit dans l'ouverture en l'obturant complètement et en étant situé dans ledit espace intérieur, ledit dispositif de guidage haut étant constitué d'une pluralité de portions rigides, lesdites portions présentant chacune au moins un moyen d'accueil principal circulaire réalisé selon un rayon sensiblement identique au rayon dudit arc de cylindre de l'organe, pour l'accueil d'un rail de guidage guidant ledit organe.The present invention thus relates to a guiding device for guiding in the upper part and / or in the lower part of a shutter member with an aperture substantially rectangular formed in a partition and separating two spaces, one said inside, the other said outer member, said member being constituted by at least one wall, having the general shape of a cylinder arc and being rotatable about a vertical axis coinciding with its axis between an outer sealing position in which said member in the opening by closing it completely and being located in said outer space and an internal sealing position in which said member fits into the opening in closing it completely and being located in said interior space, said device for high guide being constituted by a plurality of rigid portions, said portions having each at least one circular main reception means made according to a radius substantially identical to the radius of said cylinder arc of the member, for receiving a rail guide guiding said member.

Ladite (ou lesdites) portion(s) présentant chacune au moins un moyen d'accueil principal circulaire et un moyen d'accueil secondaire circulaire est (ou sont) située(s), de préférence, dans ledit espace extérieur.Said portion (or portions) each having at least one means of reception main circular and a circular secondary reception facility is (or are) located, preferably in said outer space.

Ladite (ou lesdites) paroi(s) dudit organe d'obturation est (ou sont) constituée(s), de préférence au moins partiellement d'un (ou de plusieurs) élément(s) vitré(s) ou en matière plastique.Said (or said) wall (s) of said shutter member is (or are) constituted (s), preferably at least partially one (or more) glazed element (s) or plastic material.

Avantageusement, la présente invention permet de simplifier l'installation des organes d'obturation en arc de cylindre tels que ceux connus de la demande de brevet européen N° EP 383 70. Il n'est plus nécessaire de corriger manuellement la courbure des rails de guidage de l'organe d'obturation pour que ce dernier coulisse correctement. Par coopération avec les moyens d'accueil, les rails prennent exactement la courbure circulaire nécessaire pour un bon coulissement de l'organe d'obturation autour de son axe. Le guidage est ainsi plus fiable et moins sujet à modification dans le temps à l'usage, ce qui est important car dans le domaine du bâtiment, le constructeur ou l'installateur doit une garantie décennale sur toutes les opérations qu'il réalise.Advantageously, the present invention makes it possible to simplify the installation of arc shutter members such as those known from the patent application No. EP 383 70. It is no longer necessary to manually correct the curvature of guide rails of the shutter member for the latter to slide properly. By cooperation with the means of reception, the rails take exactly the circular curvature necessary for a good sliding of the shutter member about its axis. The guidance is thus more reliable and less subject to change over time in use, which is important because in the building industry the builder or installer ten-year guarantee on all the operations it carries out.

Avantageusement également, le système de guidage selon l'invention est moins coûteux à fabriquer que le système de l'art antérieur et en outre, coûte moins cher à installer car il n'est plus nécessaire d'opérer de reprise de la courbure au moment de l'installation.Advantageously also, the guidance system according to the invention is less expensive to manufacture than the system of the prior art and in addition, costs less to install because it is no longer necessary to operate the curvature recovery at the time of installation.

Avec les portions selon l'invention, il n'est pas nécessaire de corriger la courbure des rails car les rails sont définitivement correctement positionnés. With the portions according to the invention, it is not necessary to correct the curvature rails because the rails are definitely correctly positioned.

La présente invention sera mieux comprise à la lecture de la description détaillée d'un exemple de réalisation faite ci-après à titre nullement limitatif en référence aux figures annexées :

The present invention will be better understood on reading the detailed description of an exemplary embodiment given below by way of non-limiting example with reference to the appended figures:
  • Figure 1 illustrates a partial view in vertical axial section of the upper part of a closure system according to the invention;

Il est précisé que les proportions entre les divers éléments représentés ne sont pas rigoureusement respectées dans ces figures afin d'en faciliter la lecture.It is specified that the proportions between the various elements represented are not rigorously respected in these figures to facilitate reading.

La présente invention, illustrée figure 1, se rapporte à un système d'obturation d'une ouverture (O) du type comportant un organe (6) d'obturation constitué d'au moins une paroi, ayant la forme générale d'un arc de cylindre, cet organe étant mobile par rotation selon un axe vertical (ZZ') coïncidant avec son propre axe.The present invention, illustrated in FIG. 1, relates to a sealing system an opening (O) of the type comprising a closure member (6) consisting of at least a wall, having the general shape of a cylinder arc, this member being movable by rotation along a vertical axis (ZZ ') coinciding with its own axis.

L'ouverture (O) est sensiblement rectangulaire et est ménagée dans une cloison séparant deux espaces, l'un dit intérieur (EI), l'autre dit extérieur (EE).The opening (O) is substantially rectangular and is formed in a partition separating two spaces, one called inner (EI), the other called outside (EE).

Ainsi, ledit organe (6) est mobile par rotation selon son axe vertical (ZZ') entre une position d'obturation extérieure dans laquelle ledit organe (6) s'inscrit dans l'ouverture (O) en l'obturant complètement et en étant situé dans ledit espace extérieur (EE) et une position d'obturation intérieure dans laquelle ledit organe (6) s'inscrit dans l'ouverture (O) en l'obturant complètement et en étant situé dans ledit espace intérieur (EI), comme cela est connu de la demande de brevet européen N° EP 383 709. L'organe d'obturation peut également occuper toutes les positions intermédiaires situées entre ces deux positions extrémales.Thus, said member (6) is rotatable along its vertical axis (ZZ ') between an external sealing position in which said member (6) is part of the opening (O) by closing it completely and being located in said space outside (EE) and an internal sealing position in which said member (6) fits in the opening (O) by closing it completely and being located in said space interior (EI), as known from European Patent Application No. EP 383 709. The shutter member can also occupy all the intermediate positions located between these two extremal positions.

Le système d'obturation selon l'invention est muni d'un dispositif de guidage (G) pour le guidage en partie haute et/ou en partie basse de l'organe (6). Toutefois, seule l'application au guidage en partie haute est ici illustrée.The closure system according to the invention is provided with a guiding device (G) for guidance in the upper part and / or in the lower part of the member (6). However, only the application to the guidance in the upper part is here illustrated.

Ladite (ou lesdites) paroi(s) dudit organe (6) est (ou sont) constituée(s) au moins partiellement d'un (ou de plusieurs) élément(s) vitré(s) ou en matière plastique. Dans l'exemple illustré sur la figure 1, la paroi de l'organe (6) est constituée d'un double vitrage dont la paroi centripète, c'est-à-dire la plus à l'extérieure par rapport à l'axe ZZ', est un verre feuilleté. A titre d'exemple, cette paroi peut également être en PMMA. L'organe d'obturation (6) peut également être constitué de deux parois indépendantes et pouvant s'accrocher entre elles.Said (or said) wall (s) of said member (6) is (or are) constituted (s) at least partially of one (or more) element (s) glazed (s) or plastic. In the example illustrated in Figure 1, the wall of the member (6) consists of a double glazing whose centripetal wall, that is to say the outermost in relation to the ZZ 'axis, is a Laminated glass. By way of example, this wall can also be made of PMMA. The organ shutter (6) may also consist of two independent walls and cling to each other.

Ce dispositif de guidage (G) est constitué d'une pluralité de portions (52, 52') réalisées dans un matériau sensiblement rigide, lesdites portions (52, 52') présentant chacune au moins un moyen d'accueil principal circulaire (56) réalisé selon un rayon sensiblement identique au rayon dudit arc de cylindre de l'organe (6), pour l'accueil d'un rail de guidage principal (64) haut guidant ledit organe (6) en partie haute.This guiding device (G) consists of a plurality of portions (52, 52 ') made of a substantially rigid material, said portions (52, 52 ') having each at least one circular main reception means (56) made according to a radius substantially identical to the radius of said cylinder arc of the member (6), for the reception of a main guide rail (64) up guiding said member (6) at the top.

Ainsi, plutôt que de réaliser un plateau annulaire supérieur sur lequel on vient fixer un rail de guidage ne présentant pas forcément exactement la courbure souhaitée avec la précision requise, comme dans la demande de brevet européen N° EP 383 709, la présente invention propose de positionner en partie haute une pluralité de portions (52, 52') qui vont elles-mêmes servir de guide grâce à leur moyen d'accueil au rail de guidage de l'organe obturateur.So, rather than making an upper annular plateau on which we come fix a guide rail that does not necessarily have exactly the desired curvature with the required accuracy, as in European Patent Application No. EP 383,709, the The present invention proposes to position in the upper part a plurality of portions (52, 52 '). which will themselves serve as a guide thanks to their means of welcome to the guide rail of the shutter member.

Ces portions (52, 52') sont alors positionnées dans le système d'obturation de manière à ce que la succession des moyens d'accueil principaux (56) de chaque portion (52, 52') forme un guide complètement et exactement circulaire pour le rail de guidage principal (64) haut.These portions (52, 52 ') are then positioned in the closure system of so that the succession of the main means of reception (56) of each portion (52, 52 ') forms a completely and exactly circular guide for the guide rail principal (64) high.

Ainsi, la paroi, ou les parois le cas échéant, constituant l'organe (6) peut/peuvent être entraínée(s) en rotation avec précision autour de l'axe (ZZ') car elle(s) est/sont guidée(s) dans sa/leurs partie(s) supérieure(s) par le rail de guidage (64) exactement circulaire. Thus, the wall, or the walls, if any, constituting the member (6) can be driven in precise rotation about the axis (ZZ ') because it (s) is / are guided in its upper part (s) by the guide rail (64) exactly circular.

Ces portions (52, 52') sont de préférence fabriquées en matière plastique rigide, telle que du polypropylène, par exemple par moulage, avec éventuellement une opération d'usinage complémentaire ou seulement par usinage. Elles peuvent également être réalisées en ABS ou encore en bois. L'usinage avec une machine à commande numérique permet d'atteindre une précision supérieure au dixième de millimètre, alors que le cintrage de profilés en aluminium ne permet d'atteindre une précision que de l'ordre de plusieurs millimètres. Il est préférable de choisir une matière ayant un faible coefficient de dilatation thermique.These portions (52, 52 ') are preferably made of rigid plastics material, such as polypropylene, for example by molding, possibly with an operation additional machining or only by machining. They can also be made of ABS or wood. Machining with a numerically controlled machine achieves a precision greater than one-tenth of a millimeter, while bending aluminum profiles can only achieve a precision of the order of several millimeters. It is better to choose a material with a low coefficient of expansion thermal.

Le rail de guidage principal (64) est, comme précédemment, fabriqué en alliage d'aluminium, par extrusion. Le guidage opéré par le rail (64) en partie haute est un guidage directionnel simple, sans maintien direct du poids de l'organe d'obturation.The main guide rail (64) is, as before, made of alloy of aluminum, by extrusion. The guidance operated by the rail (64) in the upper part is a guide directional simple, without direct weight of the shutter member.

Les portions (52, 52') sont donc destinées à être intercalées entre le plafond du système d'obturation et le rail de guidage (64), afin de conformer le rail, par coopération avec le moyen d'accueil, à sa forme circulaire idéale.The portions (52, 52 ') are therefore intended to be interposed between the ceiling of the shutter system and the guide rail (64), in order to conform the rail, by cooperation with the means of reception, with its ideal circular form.

Les portions (52, 52') présentent, de préférence, chacune une forme d'anneau plat, chaque portion présentant un rayon centripète légèrement inférieur au rayon dudit arc de cylindre de l'organe (6) et un rayon centrifuge légèrement supérieur au rayon dudit arc de cylindre de l'organe (6), afin de permettre d'économiser de la matière constitutive.The portions (52, 52 ') preferably each have a ring shape flat, each portion having a centripetal radius slightly less than the radius of said arc of cylinder of the organ (6) and a centrifugal radius slightly greater than the radius of said arc cylinder (6), in order to save the constituent material.

Le rail de guidage (64) présente en coupe transversale sensiblement la forme d'un U, ledit U présentant de préférence au moins une barre de renfort transversale positionnée parallèle à sa base et à proximité de son ouverture. Cette barre de renfort peut être continue ou être positionnée équiangulairement. La largeur du U est sensiblement identique à la largeur du moyen d'accueil principal (56).The guide rail (64) has in cross section substantially the shape of a U, said U preferably having at least one transverse reinforcing bar positioned parallel to its base and near its opening. This reinforcement bar can be continuous or be positioned equiangularly. The width of the U is substantially identical to the width of the main hospitality (56).

Comme on peut le voir sur les figures 2 et 3, le moyen d'accueil principal (56) forme une rainure sensiblement rectangulaire en coupe transversale. La profondeur du moyen d'accueil principal (56) est environ égale au tiers de l'épaisseur des portions (52, 52') et environ égale au dixième de la hauteur de la forme en U, soit par exemple de l'ordre de 5 millimètres.As can be seen in FIGS. 2 and 3, the main reception means (56) forms a substantially rectangular groove in cross section. The depth of main means of reception (56) is approximately equal to one third of the thickness of the portions (52, 52 ') and approximately equal to one tenth of the height of the U-shape, ie for example the order of 5 millimeters.

Dans la version illustrée, ledit moyen d'accueil principal (56) est ménagé sur la face inférieure desdites portions (52, 52') hautes, mais il est possible d'imaginer que ledit moyen d'accueil (56) soit réalisé sur le bord centrifuge, voire centripète desdites portions (52, 52'). In the illustrated version, said main reception means (56) is arranged on the underside of said high portions (52, 52 '), but it is possible to imagine that said means (56) is provided on the centrifugal or even centripetal edge of said portions (52, 52 ').

Dans une version préférée de l'invention, on utilise deux sortes de portions :

  • n portion(s) sensiblement plate(s) (52') située(s) dans ledit espace intérieur (EI), qui présente(nt) chacune uniquement un moyen d'accueil principal circulaire (56) réalisé selon un rayon sensiblement identique au rayon dudit arc de cylindre de l'organe (6), n étant un entier supérieur ou égal à 1, et
  • m portion(s) sensiblement plate(s) (52) située(s) dans ledit espace extérieur (EE), qui présente(nt) chacune un moyen d'accueil principal circulaire (56) réalisé selon un rayon sensiblement identique au rayon dudit arc de cylindre de l'organe (6) et qui présente(nt) en outre chacune un moyen d'accueil secondaire circulaire (56') réalisé selon un rayon légèrement inférieur au rayon dudit arc de cylindre de l'organe (6), pour l'accueil d'un rail de guidage (64') guidant un rideau, m étant un entier supérieur ou égal à 1 ; la forme en coupe transversale du moyen d'accueil secondaire (56') étant sensiblement identique à celle du moyen d'accueil principal (56).
In a preferred version of the invention, two kinds of portions are used:
  • n substantially flat portion (s) (52 ') located in said interior space (EI), each of which has only a circular main accommodating means (56) formed with a radius substantially identical to the radius of said cylinder arc of the member (6), n being an integer greater than or equal to 1, and
  • m substantially flat portion (s) (52) located in said outer space (EE), each of which has a circular main accommodating means (56) formed along a radius substantially identical to the radius of said the cylinder arc of the member (6) and each further having a circular secondary receiving means (56 ') formed along a radius slightly smaller than the radius of said cylinder arc of the member (6), for accommodating a guide rail (64 ') guiding a curtain, m being an integer greater than or equal to 1; the cross-sectional shape of the secondary receiving means (56 ') being substantially identical to that of the main receiving means (56).

Comme on peut le voir sur la figure 4, le rayon de courbure centrifuge des portions (52) est sensiblement identique au rayon de courbure centrifuge des portions (52'), mais le rayon de courbure centripète des portions (52') est légèrement inférieur au rayon de courbure centripète des portions (52), car les portions (52') ne comportent pas de moyen d'accueil secondaire (56'). Cela permet d'économiser de la matière pour les portions (52'). Toutefois, il pourrait également être imaginé que l'on utilise uniquement des portions (52) pour réaliser la totalité du dispositif de guidage haut.As can be seen in FIG. 4, the centrifugal radius of curvature of portions (52) is substantially identical to the centrifugal curvature radius of the portions (52 '), but the centripetal radius of curvature of the portions (52') is slightly less than a centripetal radius of curvature of the portions (52) because the portions (52 ') do not have any secondary reception (56 '). This saves material for portions (52 '). However, it could also be imagined that one only uses portions (52) for making the entire high guide device.

Le dispositif de guidage est ainsi constitué de p portions (52, 52'), p étant égal à n + m.The guiding device thus consists of p portions (52, 52 '), p being equal to n + m.

Lorsque le dispositif de guidage haut (G) selon l'invention est installé, les m portions (52) et les n portions (52') sont juxtaposées de manière à former un moyen d'accueil principal (56) complètement circulaire et un moyen d'accueil secondaire (56') semi-circulaire.When the top guide device (G) according to the invention is installed, the m portions (52) and the n portions (52 ') are juxtaposed to form a means main home (56) completely circular and secondary home (56 ') semi-circular.

Lorsque le système d'obturation est placé de telle sorte que l'axe ZZ' soit sensiblement dans le plan moyen de l'ouverture (O), il est préférable que m = n = p/2, afin de permettre de glisser un rideau dans le rail de guidage secondaire (64') derrière la totalité de l'organe obturateur lorsqu'il obture complètement l'ouverture (O) en étant situé dans ledit espace extérieur (EE). When the shutter system is placed in such a way that the ZZ axis is substantially in the mean plane of the opening (O), it is preferable that m = n = p / 2, so to allow a curtain to slide in the secondary guide rail (64 ') behind the entire of the shutter member when it completely closes the opening (O) while being located in said outer space (EE).

Dans la version illustrée figure 4, pour réaliser le système d'obturation on dispose deux portions (52) dans ledit espace extérieur (EE), dont une seule est représentée par soucis de clarté et deux portions (52') dans ledit espace intérieur (EI), dont une seule est également représentée par soucis de clarté. Chaque portion (52, 52') s'étend donc sur environ 90°.In the version shown in Figure 4, to make the shutter system available two portions (52) in said outer space (EE), only one of which is represented by concern of clarity and two portions (52 ') in said interior space (EI), of which only one is also represented for the sake of clarity. Each portion (52, 52 ') thus extends over about 90 °.

Toutefois, il est également possible d'imaginer que pour réaliser le système d'obturation on dispose une seule portion (52) dans ledit espace extérieur (EE) et une seule portion (52') dans ledit espace intérieur (EI). Chaque portion (52, 52') s'étend alors sur environ 180°.However, it is also possible to imagine that to realize the system a single portion (52) is provided in said outer space (EE) and only one portion (52 ') in said interior space (EI). Each portion (52, 52 ') then extends over about 180 °.

Il est également possible d'imaginer que pour réaliser le système d'obturation on dispose seulement deux portions s'étendant chacune sur environ 180°, chaque portion étant constituée d'une première partie sensiblement plate située dans ledit espace extérieur (EE) et d'une seconde partie sensiblement plate située dans ledit espace intérieur (EI).It is also possible to imagine that to make the shutter system has only two portions each of about 180 °, each serving being consisting of a substantially flat first portion located in said outer space (EE) and a substantially flat second portion located in said interior space (EI).

Le moyen d'accueil (56) présente une pluralité de trous (57) orientés verticalement et débouchant sur la face supérieure ou dormante desdites portions (52, 52'), afin de permettre de glisser un écrou servant à la fois à la fixation du rail de guidage principal (64) dans le moyen d'accueil (56) et à la fixation des portions (52, 52') au reste du gros oeuvre.The receiving means (56) has a plurality of oriented holes (57) vertically and opening on the upper or dormant face of said portions (52, 52 '), in order to slide a nut serving both to fix the guide rail (64) in the receiving means (56) and fixing the portions (52, 52 ') to the remainder the shell.

Pour la fixation de la (ou des) portion(s) sensiblement plate(s) (52), la tête de l'écrou est bloquée dans l'ouverture du U et le boulon est vissé par le dessus, en intercalant une équerre de fixation (58).For fixing the substantially flat portion (s) (52), the head of the nut is locked in the opening of the U and the bolt is screwed from above, interposing a mounting bracket (58).

Pour la fixation de la (ou des) portion(s) sensiblement plate(s) (52'), la tête de l'écrou est bloquée dans l'ouverture du U et le boulon est vissé par le dessus, en intercalant un support vertical de fixation (58').For fixing the (or) substantially flat portion (s) (52 '), the head of the nut is locked in the opening of the U and the bolt is screwed from above, interposing a vertical mounting bracket (58 ').

Le moyen d'accueil (56') présente également une pluralité de trous (57') orientés verticalement et débouchant sur la face supérieure ou dormante desdites portions (52), afin de permettre de glisser un écrou servant à la fixation du rail de guidage secondaire (64') dans le moyen d'accueil secondaire (56').The receiving means (56 ') also has a plurality of oriented holes (57') vertically and opening on the upper or dormant face of said portions (52), so as to allowing a nut to be slid for securing the secondary guide rail (64 ') in the secondary reception means (56 ').

Ainsi, le système de fixation des portions (52, 52') est complètement caché une fois que le système d'obturation est entièrement monté. Thus, the portion attachment system (52, 52 ') is completely hidden a once the shutter system is fully assembled.

Dans la version illustrée figure 4, les trous (57, 57') sont disposés équiangulairement, tous les 11, 25°.In the version shown in FIG. 4, the holes (57, 57 ') are arranged equiangularly, every 11, 25 °.

Dans cette version également, une réservation est réalisée dans la paroi centrifuge de la portion (52), à proximité de la liaison avec la portion sensiblement plates(52'), afin de permettre d'accueillir la paroi de séparation des espaces extérieur et intérieur.In this version also, a reservation is made in the centrifugal wall of the portion (52), near the connection with the substantially flat portion (52 '), in order to to allow to accommodate the partition wall of the outer and inner spaces.

Pour compléter le système d'obturation dans la partie haute, un plateau supérieur (20) est disposé entre les parois centripètes des portions (52, 52') et un demi-cylindre préfabriqué (59) est disposé dans un système de rainures circulaire (59') ménagées sur la face supérieure ou dormante des portions (52') à proximité de la face centrifuge. Le plateau (20) peut accueillir un dispositif d'éclairage.To complete the shutter system in the upper part, a tray upper portion (20) is disposed between the centripetal walls of the portions (52, 52 ') and a half-cylinder prefabricated (59) is arranged in a circular groove system (59 ') arranged on the upper or dormant side portions (52 ') near the centrifugal face. The tray (20) can accommodate a lighting device.

Dans une variante, lesdites portions (52, 52') présentent à leurs extrémités latérales des moyens de coopération permettant de former un moyen d'accueil principal (56) complètement circulaire. Ces moyens de coopération sont, par exemple, du type rainure/bossage. Lorsque ces moyens sont réalisés sur la tranche des portions (52, 52'), ils participent au centrage adéquat, afm que le moyen d'accueil principal (56) soit exactement circulaire.In a variant, said portions (52, 52 ') have at their ends lateral means of cooperation to form a means of reception main (56) completely circular. These means of cooperation are, for example, type groove / boss. When these means are made on the portion wafer (52, 52 '), they participate in the proper centering, so that the principal means of reception (56) is exactly circular.

Dans une version préférée de l'invention, les rails de guidage (64) et (64') sont identiques. Ils sont alors disposés tête-bêche respectivement dans le moyen d'accueil principal circulaire (56) et dans le moyen d'accueil secondaire circulaire (56'), c'est-à-dire que le rail de guidage (64) est disposé dans le moyen d'accueil principal circulaire (56) de telle manière que l'ouverture du U est située vers le haut et le fond de la rainure et le rail de guidage (64') est disposé dans le moyen d'accueil secondaire circulaire (56') de telle manière que l'ouverture du U est située vers le bas et la base du U est dans le fond de la rainure.In a preferred version of the invention, the guide rails (64) and (64 ') are identical. They are then arranged head-to-tail respectively in the means of reception main circular (56) and in the circular secondary reception means (56 '), that is to say that the guide rail (64) is disposed in the circular main accommodating means (56) of such that the opening of the U is located upwards and the bottom of the groove and the rail of the guide (64 ') is arranged in the circular secondary reception means (56') of such way that the opening of the U is located down and the base of the U is in the bottom of the groove.

Il est possible que les parois latérales de la forme en U des rails de guidage (64, 64') ne présentent pas la même épaisseur. Par exemple, la paroi centripète du rail (64) peut être plus fine que la paroi centrifuge et la paroi centrifuge du rail (64') peut être plus fine que la paroi centripète. It is possible that the side walls of the U-shape of the guide rails (64, 64 ') do not have the same thickness. For example, the centripetal wall of the rail (64) can be thinner than the centrifugal wall and the centrifugal wall of the rail (64 ') can be thinner than the centripetal wall.

L'organe (6) est constitué d'au moins une paroi et de préférence deux parois sensiblement identiques. Chaque paroi est munie à sa périphérie d'un cadre périphérique. Ce cadre est constitué, dans sa partie haute ou dans sa partie basse et de préférence en haut et en bas, respectivement d'une traverse haute (62) et d'une traverse basse pour le maintien de l'organe (6) d'obturation et plus précisément pour le maintien de l'élément vitré (600) qui, dans la version illustrée, est un double vitrage cintré.The member (6) consists of at least one wall and preferably two walls substantially identical. Each wall is provided at its periphery with a peripheral frame. This frame consists, in its upper part or in its lower part and preferably at the top and at the bottom, respectively of a high cross member (62) and a lower crossbar for the maintenance of the closure member (6) and more specifically for the maintenance of the glazed element (600) which, in the illustrated version, is a curved double glazing.

Comme on peut le voir sur la figure 1, ladite traverse (62) comporte deux flasques circulaires métalliques (65, 65') entre lesquels est positionné au moins un insert circulaire rigide, et de préférence deux inserts circulaires rigides, formant une rupture de pont thermique entre lesdits flasques (65, 65').As can be seen in FIG. 1, said crossmember (62) comprises two flanges circular circular plates (65, 65 ') between which is positioned at least one circular insert rigid, and preferably two rigid circular inserts, forming a bridge break between said flanges (65, 65 ').

Ces inserts (66, 66'), comme les portions (52, 52'), sont réalisés dans un matériau sensiblement rigide, lesdits inserts (66, 66') présentant chacun une paroi sensiblement verticale réalisée selon un rayon sensiblement identique au rayon dudit arc de cylindre de l'organe (6).These inserts (66, 66 '), like the portions (52, 52'), are made of a material substantially rigid, said inserts (66, 66 ') each having a substantially vertical line made with a radius substantially identical to the radius of said cylinder arc of the organ (6).

Les flasques (65, 65') présentent, de préférence, chacun une forme de couronne, le flasque centrifuge (65) présentant un rayon légèrement supérieur au rayon dudit arc de cylindre de l'organe (6) et le flasque centripète (65') présentant un rayon légèrement inférieur au rayon dudit arc de cylindre de l'organe (6).The flanges (65, 65 ') preferably each have a crown shape, the centrifugal flange (65) having a radius slightly greater than the radius of said arc of cylinder of the member (6) and the centripetal flange (65 ') having a radius slightly less than the radius of said cylinder arc of the member (6).

Ainsi, plutôt que de réaliser des profilés hauts et bas ne présentant pas forcément exactement la courbure souhaitée avec la précision requise, comme dans la demande de brevet européen N° EP 383 709, la présente invention propose de positionner en partie haute et/ou en partie basse - et de préférence en partie haute et basse - du cadre au moins un (et de préférence deux) insert(s) (66, 66') qui va (ou vont) servir de gabarit pour les flasques latéraux.Thus, rather than making high and low profiles that do not necessarily present exactly the desired curvature with the required accuracy, as in the request for European Patent No. EP 383 709, the present invention proposes to partially position high and / or low part - and preferably in the upper and lower part - of the frame at least one (and preferably two) insert (s) (66, 66 ') which will (or will) serve as a template for the side flanges.

Ces inserts (66, 66') sont, de préférence, d'un seul tenant pour chaque paroi de l'organe d'obturation, afin d'offrir la rigidité nécessaire au gabarit pour qu'il forme un guide exactement circulaire.These inserts (66, 66 ') are preferably in one piece for each wall of shutter member, in order to provide the rigidity necessary for the template to form a exactly circular guide.

Ainsi, la paroi, ou les parois le cas échéant, constituant l'organe (6) peut/peuvent être entraínée(s) en rotation avec précision autour de l'axe ZZ' car elle(s) est/sont guidée(s) dans sa/leurs partie(s) supérieure(s) et inférieure(s), respectivement par les rails de guidage (64, 74) exactement circulaires et ce guidage n'est pas gêné par les flasques latéraux. Thus, the wall, or the walls, if any, constituting the member (6) can be driven in precise rotation about the axis ZZ 'because it (they) is / are guided (s) in their / their upper and lower part (s) respectively by the rails of guidance (64, 74) exactly circular and this guidance is not hindered by the flanges side.

Ces inserts (66, 66') sont de préférence fabriqués en matière plastique rigide, telle que du polypropylène, par exemple par moulage, avec éventuellement une opération d'usinage complémentaire ou seulement par usinage. Ils peuvent également être réalisés en ABS ou encore en bois. Il est préférable de choisir une matière ayant un faible coefficient de dilatation thermique.These inserts (66, 66 ') are preferably made of rigid plastic, such as polypropylene, for example by molding, possibly with an operation additional machining or only by machining. They can also be made in ABS or wooden. It is better to choose a material with a low coefficient thermal expansion.

Lesdits flasques (65, 65') présentent chacun respectivement sur leur face tournée vers l'intérieur de la traverse au moins un appendice (67, 67') destiné à coopérer avec ledit insert (66, 66').Said flanges (65, 65 ') each have respectively on their turned side inwardly of the cross member at least one appendage (67, 67 ') intended to cooperate with said insert (66, 66 ').

Pour assurer la rupture de pont thermique entre la face extérieure d'une traverse et sa face intérieure, chaque flasque (65, 65') n'est pas en contact direct avec l'autre flasque (65', 65) et les inserts soient fabriqués dans une matière non conductrice de chaleur.To ensure the thermal break between the outer face of a sleeper and its inner face, each flange (65, 65 ') is not in direct contact with the other flange (65 ', 65) and the inserts are made of a non-conductive material of heat.

Dans la traverse (62), en coupe verticale selon ZZ', lesdits flasques (65, 65') sont symétriques par rapport à un axe vertical A de la traverse. Cet axe A passe également par le centre du rail de guidage (64), est parallèle à l'axe ZZ' et constitue un rayon périphérique de référence pour exprimer le rayon de l'organe d'obturation.In the crossmember (62), in vertical section along ZZ ', said flanges (65, 65') are symmetrical with respect to a vertical axis A of the crossbar. This axis A also goes through the center of the guide rail (64) is parallel to the axis ZZ 'and constitutes a radius reference device for expressing the radius of the shutter member.

Le cadre périphérique de chaque paroi de l'organe d'obturation est donc constitué en partie haute et basse par les traverses haute (62) et basse. Ce cadre est également constitué sur les bords latéraux de chaque paroi de profilés longitudinaux. Ces profilés assurent un maintien latéral de l'élément vitré (600) et permettent également une fermeture hermétique entre deux panneaux adjacents.The peripheral frame of each wall of the shutter member is therefore constituted in the upper and lower part by the high (62) and low crosspieces. This frame is also formed on the lateral edges of each wall of longitudinal sections. These profiles provide a lateral support of the glazed element (600) and also allow a closure hermetic between two adjacent panels.

La présente invention est décrite dans ce qui précède à titre d'exemple. Il est entendu que l'homme du métier est à même de réaliser différentes variantes de l'invention sans pour autant sortir du cadre du brevet tel que défini par les revendications.The present invention is described in the foregoing by way of example. It is understood that the skilled person is able to realize different variants of the invention without departing from the scope of the patent as defined by the claims.

L'application de la présente invention au guidage en partie basse notamment est évidente pour l'homme du métier à la lecture de la description qui précède. Dans cette application, l'homme du métier utilisera un rail de guidage principal bas supportant le poids de l'organe d'obturation. The application of the present invention to the guidance in the lower part in particular is obvious to those skilled in the art upon reading the foregoing description. In this application, the skilled person will use a main low guide rail supporting the weight of the closure member.

De plus, étant donné qu'il n'a pas été précisé dans la description ci-avant que le rail de guidage principal (64) doit impérativement constituer une pièce dissociée des portions (52, 52') rigides, il apparaít qu'il est à la portée de l'homme du métier d'intégrer le rail de guidage dans lesdites portions et d'utiliser ainsi un rail de guidage principal (64) qui est venu de matière, respectivement avec les portions (52, 52').Moreover, since it has not been specified in the description above that the main guide rail (64) must be a separate part of the portions (52, 52 ') rigid, it appears that it is within the reach of the skilled person to integrate the guide rail in said portions and thereby to use a main guide rail (64) which came from matter, respectively with the portions (52, 52 ').
