Description

La présente invention a pour objet un volet roulant, destiné à protéger un ouvrant, tel que notamment une fenêtre, une porte ou analogue. Elle trouvera son application dans tous les secteurs de l'activité économique dans lesquels il est nécessaire d'utiliser de tels volets roulants pour assurer une protection des ouvrants notamment contre les intempéries ou les effractions, ainsi que chez les constructeurs de tels volets roulants.The present invention relates to a shutter, intended to protect an opening, such as in particular a window, a door or the like. It will find its application in all sectors of the economic activity in which it is necessary to use such shutters to provide opening protection including weather or break-in, as well as the manufacturers of such shutters.

Actuellement, ces volets roulants sont constitués généralement par un ensemble de lattes jointives articulées, formant un tablier ou un rideau, qui sont guidés dans des coulisses fixées de part et d'autre de l'ouvrant. Ce rideau ou tablier est notamment apte à être enroulé autour d'un tambour, mobile en rotation, situé dans un coffre à la partie supérieure de l'ouvrant, et qui est généralement manoeuvré de l'intérieur en rotation, par un mécanisme approprié.Currently, these roller shutters are generally constituted by a set of hinged jointed slats, forming an apron or a curtain, which are guided in the wings fixed on either side of the opening. This curtain or apron is particularly adapted to be wrapped around a drum, movable in rotation, located in a trunk at the upper part of the opening, and which is generally operated from the inside in rotation, by a suitable mechanism.

Il peut, par exemple, s'agir d'un enrouleur de sangles, fixés à la base du bâti de la fenêtre, et sur lequel la sangle est enroulée autour d'une poulie de réception solidaire du tambour d'enroulement du volet, ou bien d'un mécanisme de commande constitué par un treuil à vis formé d'une roue dentée, dans laquelle est engrenée une vis tangentielle sans fin, qui est reliée, à l'une de ses extrémités, à une tringle de manoeuvre avec un cardan intermédiaire et, à l'autre de ses extrémités, à un dispositif de commande, tel que par exemple une manivelle.It may, for example, be a winder straps, attached to the base of the window frame, and on which the strap is wrapped around a receiving pulley secured to the winding drum of the flap, or a control mechanism consisting of a screw winch formed of a toothed wheel, in which is engaged an endless tangential screw, which is connected at one of its ends to a drive rod with a gimbal intermediate and, at the other end thereof, to a control device, such as for example a crank.

Par ailleurs, chaque extrémité du coffre est équipée d'une platine support appelée « joue », qui est destinée à être fixée sur les montants de l'ouvrant par l'intermédiaire de moyens de fixation adaptés.Furthermore, each end of the trunk is equipped with a support plate called "cheek", which is intended to be fixed on the amounts of the opening through suitable fastening means.

On connaît ainsi une joue constituée par une carcasse de forme quadrangulaire, réalisée dans un matériau résistant, tel que par exemple dans une matière plastique du type ABS, et comportant une console en aluminium rivetée disposée selon l'une de ses diagonales. Un guide fixe, solidaire à la console permet, en outre, d'assurer l'emboîtement de cette joue à l'intérieur d'une coulisse.A cheek is thus known constituted by a carcass of quadrangular shape, made of a resistant material, such as for example in a plastic material of the ABS type, and having a riveted aluminum bracket disposed along one of its diagonals. A fixed guide, integral with the console allows, furthermore, to ensure the interlocking of this cheek inside a slide.

On connaît également du document FR-2.709.324 un volet roulant dont le coffre est équipé de joues présentant une queue d'assemblage escamotable. Ladite queue d'assemblage escamotable permet de réduire l'encombrement desdites joues et ainsi les coûts relatifs à leur conditionnement et à leur transport.Document FR-2 709 324 is also known rolling whose chest is equipped with cheeks having a retractable tail assembly. Said collapsible assembly tail reduces the size of said cheeks and thus the costs relating to their packaging and transport.

Ainsi, comme le montre la figure 1, après déconditionnement, ladite queue escamotable de chaque joue est déployée. L'installateur vient alors encastrer une pièce d'embout afin d'assurer la solidarisation de ladite queue d'assemblage constituant ainsi l'équivalent du guide fixe de l'art antérieur et permettant d'emboîter ladite joue dans la coulisse.Thus, as shown in Figure 1, after deconditioning, said retractable tail of each cheek is deployed. The installer then engages a piece of tip to ensure the joining of said tail assembly thus constituting the equivalent of the fixed guide of the prior art and for fitting said cheek in the slide.

Néanmoins, ces joues tout comme les joues de l'art antérieur ne facilitent pas l'installation d'un coffre de volet roulant. En effet, avec lesdites joues précitées, dans le cas d'un linteau limitant l'espace libre au-dessus des coulisses, les installateurs n'ont pas d'autres choix que de solidariser le coffre de volet roulant auxdites coulisses, en emboîtant le guide fixe ou son équivalent dans ladite coulisse avant de fixer l'ensemble à savoir, le coffre et ses deux coulisses au bâti et notamment sous linteau.Nevertheless, these cheeks as the cheeks of the prior art do not facilitate the installation of a roller shutter box. Indeed, with said cheeks mentioned above, in the case of a lintel limiting the free space above the wings, the installers have no choice but to secure the roller shutter box to said slides, by fitting the fixed guide or its equivalent in said slide before fixing the assembly namely, the trunk and its two slides to the frame and in particular lintel.

Le bon sens voudrait que l'on installe d'abord les coulisses puis le coffre au-dessus desdites coulisses. Toutefois, la réalisation de cette méthode nécessite un dégagement au-dessus des coulisses fixées au bâti sensiblement égale à la hauteur du coffre de volet roulant et un dégagement supplémentaire au moins égal à la longueur d'undit guide fixe ou de ladite queue escamotable déployée. Or, dans la plupart des constructions, cet espace libre n'est pas disponible.Common sense would be that we first install the slides and then the chest above said slides. However, the realization of this method requires a clearance above the wings attached to the frame substantially equal to the height of the roller shutter box and additional clearance at least equal to the length of said fixed guide or said retractable tail deployed. However, in most constructions, this free space is not available.

On comprend alors que l'installation d'un volet roulant avec de telles joues en devient fastidieux et nécessite la présence d'au moins deux personnes pour à la fois maintenir le coffre et ses deux coulisses, et fixer lesdites coulisses sur bâti et notamment sous linteau.It is then understood that the installation of a shutter with such cheeks becomes tedious and requires the presence of at least two people to both maintain the trunk and its two slides, and fix said slides on frame and in particular under lintel.

La présente invention a pour but de remédier à ces inconvénients, et notamment permet l'installation d'un coffre de volet roulant au-dessus de coulisses fixées au bâti, et notamment sous linteau, même lorsque l'espace libre est sensiblement égal, ou de peu supérieur à la hauteur dudit coffre de volet roulant.The present invention aims to remedy these drawbacks, and in particular allows the installation of a rolling shutter box above slides fixed to the frame, and in particular under lintel, even when the free space is substantially equal, or little higher than the height of said roller shutter box.

Un autre but de la présente invention est de proposer des moyens d'assemblage escamotables aptes à se déployer à l'intérieur dans un logement d'unedite coulisse et assurant la mise en place et le verrouillage du coffre du volet roulant sur les coulisses.Another object of the present invention is to provide retractable assembly means capable of being deployed inside in a slot unedite slot and ensuring the establishment and locking of the trunk of the shutter on the slides.

Un autre but de l'invention est de proposer un volet roulant permettant la désinstallation du coffre de volet roulant auxdites coulisses fixées au bâti et notamment sous linteau, même lorsque l'espace libre est sensiblement égal, ou de peu supérieur à la hauteur du coffre de volet roulant.Another object of the invention is to provide a roller shutter for the removal of the rolling shutter box to said slides fixed to the frame and in particular under lintel, even when the free space is substantially equal, or slightly greater than the height of the trunk roller shutter.

Un autre but de l'invention est de proposer un procédé pour l'installation d'un volet roulant conforme à l'invention.Another object of the invention is to provide a method for installing a shutter according to the invention.

La présente invention a pour objet un volet roulant destiné à protéger un ouvrant, tel que notamment une fenêtre, une porte ou analogue, qui trouvera son application dans tous les secteurs de l'activité économique dans lesquels on doit protéger contre les intempéries et les agressions de tels ouvrants.The present invention relates to a roller shutter for protecting an opening, such as in particular a window, a door or the like, which will find its application in all sectors of economic activity in which we must protect against bad weather and aggression such openings.

Les différentes pièces constituant le volet roulant sont fabriquées dans des matériaux résistants, tels que par exemple en aluminium, ou bien des matériaux plastiques, tels que du polyamide ou tout autre matériau adapté.The different parts constituting the shutter are made of resistant materials, such as for example aluminum, or plastic materials, such as polyamide or any other suitable material.

Le volet roulant conforme à l'invention comporte un coffre de forme sensiblement parallélépipédique. Ce coffre est équipé, à chacune de ses extrémités latérales de joues 5, chacune desdites joues présentant des moyens de fixation et de guidage 4 pour assurer le maintien du coffre à chacune des coulisses.The shutter according to the invention comprises a substantially parallelepiped-shaped box. This box is equipped, at each of its lateral ends of cheeks 5, each of said cheeks having fastening and guiding means 4 to ensure the maintenance of the chest to each of the slides.

Le coffre renferme un tambour autour duquel s'enroule un rideau ou un tablier, constitué par exemple d'un ensemble de lattes articulées, réalisées dans un matériau adapté, tel que, par exemple, en bois, en aluminium, en PVC, ou tout autre matière présentant des caractéristiques de résistance suffisante, et qui sont aptes à être montées mobiles en translation verticale entre au moins deux positions extrêmes.The trunk contains a drum around which a curtain or apron is wound, constituted for example by a set of articulated slats, made of a suitable material, such as, for example, wood, aluminum, PVC, or any another material having characteristics of sufficient strength, and which are able to be mounted movable in vertical translation between at least two extreme positions.

Ce tambour peut être notamment équipé, à l'une de ses extrémités, par une flasque ou une poulie et à l'autre de ses extrémités, par une flasque ou une poulie, et destiné à coopérer avec des moyens de commande et de mise en rotation dudit tambour, d'un type classique et connu actionnable, par exemple, par l'intermédiaire d'organes manuels extérieurs, tels que sangles, une manivelle ou encore par l'intermédiaire de moyens moteur, électriques, dont la mise en fonctionnement peut être régulée et actionnée en fonction des besoins.This drum may in particular be equipped, at one of its ends, with a flange or pulley and at the other end thereof with a flange or a pulley, and intended to cooperate with means of control and implementation. rotation of said drum, of a conventional and known type operable, for example, through external manual organs, such as straps, a crank or through motor means, electrical, whose operation can be regulated and operated as needed.

Pour assurer le guidage du tablier ou du rideau, des coulisses 1 présentant un profil adapté sont assujetties de part et d'autre de l'ouvrant, par exemple par vissage, boulonnage, ou tout autre technique appropriée. Des moyens d'assemblage escamotables prévus au niveau de chaque joue 5 et comprenant notamment une queue d'assemblage 2 assure le guidage et le verrouillage du coffre dans chacune desdites coulisses 1.To ensure the guidance of the apron or the curtain, slides 1 having a suitable profile are secured on either side of the opening, for example by screwing, bolting, or any other suitable technique. Retractable assembly means provided at each cheek 5 and including in particular an assembly tail 2 ensures guiding and locking the trunk in each of said slides 1.

Selon l'invention, de manière à faciliter le conditionnement, notamment des joues 5, et de manière à faciliter le montage du coffre auxdites coulisses 1, lesdits moyens d'assemblage 2, 4 escamotables sont constitués par une queue d'assemblage 2 rétractable coopérant avec des moyens de guidage et de verrouillage 4 intégrés au niveau de chaque joue, et se déployant suivant un double coulissement.According to the invention, so as to facilitate the packaging, in particular of the cheeks 5, and so as to facilitate the mounting of the trunk to said slides 1, said retractable assembly means 2, 4 are constituted by a cooperating retractable joining shank 2 with guiding and locking means 4 integrated at each cheek, and deployed in a double sliding.

Ce double coulissement permet en particulier de déployer ladite queue d'assemblage 2 avant de déployer les moyens de guidage et de verrouillage 4.This double sliding makes it possible in particular to deploy said assembly tail 2 before deploying the guiding and locking means 4.

Selon un mode de réalisation conforme à l'invention, chacune desdites joues 5 présente une première glissière 9 à l'intérieur de laquelle se translate ladite queue d'assemblage 2 et une deuxième glissière 10 à l'intérieur de laquelle se translatent les moyens de guidage et de verrouillage 4.According to an embodiment according to the invention, each of said cheeks 5 has a first slideway 9 inside which is translated said assembly tail 2 and a second slideway 10 inside which are translated the means of guiding and locking 4.

Lesdits moyens de guidage et de verrouillage 4 assurent un positionnement sans jeu de chacune des joues 5 à l'extrémité de chacune des coulisses 1. Pour ce faire, lesdits moyens de guidage et de verrouillage 4 présentent un encombrement substantiel.Said guide and locking means 4 ensure a play-free positioning of each of the cheeks 5 at the end of each of the slides 1. To do this, said guide and locking means 4 have a substantial size.

Selon un mode de réalisation, les moyens de guidage et de verrouillage se présentent sous la forme d'un plot de guidage 4.According to one embodiment, the guiding and locking means are in the form of a guide stud 4.

Ce plot de guidage 4 présente une section conforme à un logement 8 longitudinal de ladite coulisse 1. Il permet ainsi un positionnement sans jeu dudit plot de guidage 4 dans le logement 8 de la coulisse 1.This guide stud 4 has a section conforming to a longitudinal housing 8 of said slide 1. It thus allows positioning without play of said guide stud 4 in the housing 8 of the slide 1.

Ce plot de guidage présente donc un encombrement substantiel et doit néanmoins cohabiter dans chacune des joues 5 avec tous les autres organes nécessaires au bon fonctionnement du volet roulant et notamment lesdits moyens de commande. Ils doivent en particulier pouvoir cohabiter avec un système d'actionnement tel qu'une poulie mise en rotation par une sangle. Or ladite sangle sort au niveau de la découpe ou passage 27, cette dernière pouvant potentiellement faire obstacle au déploiement des moyens de guidage et de verrouillage et notamment faire obstacle au plot de guidage 4. C'est pourquoi, les moyens de guidage et de verrouillage et notamment le plot de guidage 4 sont situés dès l'origine à proximité inférieure d'une potentielle sangle de telle façon que ladite sangle n'obstrue pas la course desdits moyens de guidage et de verrouillage et notamment du plot de guidage 4. C'est pour cette raison que la queue d'assemblage 2 rétractable coopère avec les moyens de guidage et de verrouillage et notamment le plot de guidage 4 intégré au niveau de chaque joue selon un double coulissement. Sans cet obstacle, on aurait très bien pu imaginer des moyens de guidage et de verrouillage et notamment un plot de guidage solidaire à ladite queue d'assemblage 2 et se déployant suivant un simple coulissement avec cette dernière.This guide pad therefore has a substantial bulk and must nevertheless coexist in each of the cheeks 5 with all the other organs necessary for the proper operation of the roller shutter and in particular said control means. They must in particular be able to cohabit with an actuating system such as a pulley rotated by a strap. Or said strap exits at the cut or passage 27, the latter can potentially hinder the deployment of the guiding and locking means and in particular to obstruct the guide pad 4. This is why the guiding and locking means and in particular the guide stud 4 are located from the origin in the lower vicinity of a potential strap so that said strap does not obstruct the travel of said guide and locking means and in particular of the guide stud 4. C ' for this reason, the retractable assembly shank 2 cooperates with the guiding and locking means and in particular the integrated guide lug 4 at each cheek according to a double sliding. Without this obstacle, one could very well imagine guiding and locking means and in particular a guide stud secured to said assembly tail 2 and deploying in a simple sliding with the latter.

Ladite queue d'assemblage 2 présente un encombrement minimum avec une section de faible hauteur à l'exception de son extrémité 24 disposée extérieure en forme de L qui présente une section apte à épouser la section du logement longitudinal 8 de ladite coulisse 1.Said assembly shank 2 has a minimum space requirement with a section of low height except for its L-shaped outermost end 24 which has a section able to fit the longitudinal housing section 8 of said slide 1.

Selon un mode de réalisation, chacune desdites joues 5 présente des moyens de limitation de la course en translation de ladite queue d'assemblage 2 lorsque cette dernière est déployée d'une longueur prédéterminée I1. Selon un mode de réalisation conforme à l'invention, chacune desdites joues 5 présente un système de clips 12 de telle façon que la queue d'assemblage 2 se déploie d'une longueur prédéterminée I1 avant d'être bloquée lorsque ledit clips 12 vient faire saillie avec un trou 13 de ladite queue d'assemblage 2.According to one embodiment, each of said cheeks 5 has means for limiting the travel in translation of said assembly tail 2 when the latter is deployed by a predetermined length I 1 . According to an embodiment according to the invention, each of said cheeks 5 has a system of clips 12 so that the assembly shank 2 extends a predetermined length I 1 before being blocked when said clip 12 comes protrude with a hole 13 of said assembly tail 2.

Ce système de clips est illustré notamment aux figures 4 et 7 et des figures 9 à 16.This system of clips is illustrated in particular in Figures 4 and 7 and Figures 9 to 16.

Lorsque la queue d'assemblage 2 escamotable est rentrée, ledit clips 12 coopère selon un mode de réalisation avec un trou 26 (figure 3) ou un alésage 25 (figure 6) qui lui permet de retenir de façon caduque ladite queue d'assemblage rentrée.When the retractable assembly tail 2 is retracted, said clip 12 cooperates according to one embodiment with a hole 26 (FIG. 3) or a bore 25 (FIG. 6) which enables it to hold said retracted assembly tail in a deciduous manner. .

Ledit clips 12 présente un profil en pente 28 lui permettant, lors d'une pression exercée par l'installateur sur ladite queue d'assemblage 2 dans le sens de déploiement, de sortir du trou 26 ou de l'alésage 25 de ladite queue d'assemblage 2. Lorsque ladite queue d'assemblage 2 est entièrement déployée, ledit clips 12 vient faire saillie avec un trou 13 de ladite queue d'assemblage. Ledit clips 12 présente une section droite 29 qui bloque et vient faire saillie avec ledit trou 13 dans l'autre sens de rentrée de ladite queue d'assemblage 2 dans ladite joue 5.Said clip 12 has a sloping profile 28 enabling it, during a pressure exerted by the installer on said assembly tail 2 in the direction of deployment, to leave the hole 26 or the bore 25 of said tail. 2. When said assembly tail 2 is fully extended, said clip 12 protrudes with a hole 13 of said assembly tail. Said clip 12 has a cross-section 29 which blocks and protrudes with said hole 13 in the other direction of retraction of said assembly tail 2 into said cheek 5.

Selon un mode de réalisation, afin de pouvoir désinstaller ladite queue d'assemblage 2, ledit clips 12 peut être dégagé dudit trou 13 de ladite queue d'assemblage à l'aide d'un outil tel que notamment un tournevis que l'on introduit au niveau d'une fente 22 pour faire levier au niveau d'un bossage 21 solidaire audit système de clips 12.According to one embodiment, in order to be able to uninstall said assembly tail 2, said clips 12 can be disengaged from said hole 13 of said assembly tail by means of a tool such as in particular a screwdriver which is introduced at a slot 22 for levering at a boss 21 secured to said clip system 12.

Selon un mode de réalisation conforme à l'invention, les moyens de guidage et de verrouillage 4, tel que notamment le plot de guidage, sont aptes à coopérer en translation avec ladite queue d'assemblage 2 lorsque celle-ci est déployée d'une longueur déterminée I2 inférieure à ladite longueur I1.According to an embodiment according to the invention, the guiding and locking means 4, such as in particular the guiding pad, are able to cooperate in translation with said assembly shank 2 when it is deployed with a determined length I 2 less than said length I 1 .

Ainsi, plus particulièrement, selon un mode de réalisation, le plot de guidage 4 présente des moyens pour coopérer en translation avec ladite queue d'assemblage 2.Thus, more particularly, according to one embodiment, the guide stud 4 has means for cooperating in translation with said assembly tail 2.

Selon un mode de réalisation, ladite queue d'assemblage 2 présente au moins un plot 15, 16 faisant saillie avec ledit plot de guidage 4 pour entraîner ce dernier. Ainsi, tel qu'illustré aux figures 3 et 5, ladite queue d'assemblage 2 présente un plot 15 pour entraîner le plot de guidage 4 dans un premier sens de sortie et un plot 16 pour entraîner le plot de guidage 4 dans un deuxième sens de rentrée.According to one embodiment, said assembly tail 2 has at least one stud 15, 16 projecting from said guide stud 4 to drive the latter. Thus, as illustrated in FIGS. 3 and 5, said assembly tail 2 has a stud 15 for driving the guide stud 4 in a first output direction and a stud 16 for driving the guide stud 4 in a second direction back to school.

Selon un autre mode de réalisation, ladite queue d'assemblage 2 présente une lumière 9 coopérant avec une saillie 19 dudit plot de guidage 4. Ainsi, tel qu'illustré à la figure 6 et aux figures 8 à 16, ladite queue d'assemblage 2 présente une lumière longitudinale apte à coopérer au niveau de ses deux extrémités selon un premier sens de sortie ou un deuxième sens de rentrée dudit plot de guidage. Cette lumière 18 présente avantageusement une largeur inférieure audit clips 12 de telle façon que ledit clips 12 puisse retenir ladite queue d'assemblage 2 au niveau de l'alésage 25.According to another embodiment, said assembly tail 2 has a slot 9 cooperating with a projection 19 of said guide pad 4. Thus, as shown in FIG. 6 and in FIGS. 8 to 16, said assembly tail 2 has a longitudinal slot adapted to cooperate at its two ends in a first direction of exit or a second direction of retraction of said guide pad. This light 18 advantageously has a smaller width of said clips 12 in such a way that said clips 12 can hold said assembly tail 2 at the bore 25.

Selon un mode de réalisation, chacune desdites joues 5 présente des moyens 14 de limitation de la course desdits moyens de guidage et de verrouillage 4. Ainsi, selon un mode de réalisation, la joue présente des moyens 14 de limitation de la course dudit plot de guidage 4.According to one embodiment, each of said cheeks 5 has means 14 for limiting the stroke of said guiding and locking means 4. Thus, according to one embodiment, the cheek has means 14 for limiting the stroke of said stud. guidance 4.

Selon un mode de réalisation, les moyens de limitation de la course dudit plot de guidage 4 se présentent sous la forme d'un rebord 14 à fonction de butée. Ainsi, tel qu'illustré aux figures 13 et 14, ledit rebord 14 vient faire saillie avec le plot de guidage 4 lorsque ladite queue d'assemblage 2 est entièrement déployée.According to one embodiment, the means for limiting the stroke of said guide pad 4 is in the form of a rim 14 with stop function. Thus, as illustrated in FIGS. 13 and 14, said flange 14 projects with the guide stud 4 when said assembly tail 2 is fully extended.

Dans le cas d'une queue d'assemblage 2 présentant deux plots 15 et 16 aptes à entraîner ledit plot de guidage 4, ce rebord 14 présente une lumière de passage 17 (figure 4) de telle façon que ledit plot 16 ne vienne pas en butée avec ledit rebord 14 lors du déploiement en sortie de ladite queue d'assemblage 2.In the case of an assembly tail 2 having two studs 15 and 16 capable of driving said guide stud 4, this flange 14 has a passage lumen 17 (FIG. 4) so that said stud 16 does not come into abutment with said flange 14 during deployment at the outlet of said assembly tail 2.

Selon un mode de réalisation, ladite queue d'assemblage 2 et les moyens de guidage et de verrouillage 4 sont aptes à se déployer dans un logement 8 longitudinal de la coulisse 1, les moyens de guidage et de verrouillage 4, en fin de course, étant aptes à se positionner sans jeu à l'extrémité débouchante de ladite coulisse 1.According to one embodiment, said assembly tail 2 and the guiding and locking means 4 are able to deploy in a longitudinal housing 8 of the slide 1, the guiding and locking means 4, at the end of the stroke, being able to position themselves without play at the open end of said slide 1.

A cette fin, ladite queue d'assemblage 2 doit pouvoir être actionnée par l'installateur de l'intérieur du logement longitudinal 8 de la coulisse 1.To this end, said assembly tail 2 must be actuable by the installer from inside the longitudinal housing 8 of the slide 1.

Ainsi, selon un mode de réalisation conforme à l'invention, le logement 8 dans la coulisse 1 présente une fente 11 et ladite queue d'assemblage 2 présente un moyen de prise 23 tel que notamment un trou, en regard de ladite fente 11 lorsque ladite queue d'assemblage 2 est insérée dans le logement 8 de ladite coulisse 1.Thus, according to an embodiment according to the invention, the housing 8 in the slide 1 has a slot 11 and said assembly tail 2 has a gripping means 23 such that in particular a hole, opposite said slot 11 when said assembly tail 2 is inserted in the housing 8 of said slide 1.

Avantageusement, ce moyen de prise ou trou est réalisé au niveau de l'extrémité 24 de ladite queue d'assemblage 2. Ce mode de réalisation non illustré permet à l'utilisateur de passer un outil muni d'un crochet au niveau de la fente 11, faisant saillie avec le trou de l'extrémité 24 en effectuant un quart de tour. Ladite prise étant verrouillée par l'outil, l'installateur peut alors descendre ou monter ladite queue d'assemblage 2 à l'intérieur de ladite coulisse 1.Advantageously, this gripping means or hole is made at the end 24 of said assembly tail 2. This embodiment not illustrated allows the user to pass a tool with a hook at the slot 11, protruding with the hole of the end 24 by making a quarter turn. Said plug being locked by the tool, the installer can then lower or mount said assembly tail 2 inside said slide 1.

Afin de mieux comprendre les étapes lors du double coulissement de ladite queue d'assemblage 2 et dudit plot de guidage 4, les figures 9 et 10, 11 et 12, et 13 et 14 représentent trois étapes successives lors du déploiement des moyens 2, 4 d'assemblage :

  • les figures 9 et 10 représentent l'invention selon un mode de réalisation particulier où la queue d'assemblage 2 et le plot de guidage 4 sont rentrés. Bien que la queue d'assemblage 2 dépasse légèrement de la joue 5, le plot de guidage 4 reste intérieur. On peut remarquer que ledit plot de guidage 4 n'obstrue pas complètement la découpe 27 afin de pouvoir passer une potentielle sangle d'actionnement,
  • les figures 11 et 12 représentent l'invention selon un mode de réalisation particulier, lorsque la queue d'assemblage 2 est déployée d'une distance I2 et vient faire contact avec la saillie 19 du plot de guidage 4 au niveau de l'une des extrémités de la lumière 18,
  • les figures 13 et 14 représentent l'invention selon un mode de réalisation particulier, lorsque la queue d'assemblage 2 a parcouru une distance I1 et est bloquée au niveau dudit trou 13 par le clips 12. Le plot de guidage 4 dépasse alors de la joue 5 et est bloqué dans les deux sens au niveau d'un rebord 14 de la joue et au niveau de l'une des extrémités de la lumière 18 avec ladite saillie 19,
In order to better understand the steps during the double sliding of said assembly tail 2 and said guide stud 4, the FIGS. 9 and 10, 11 and 12, and 13 and 14 represent three successive steps during the deployment of the assembly means 2, 4:
  • Figures 9 and 10 show the invention according to a particular embodiment where the assembly tail 2 and the guide pad 4 are retracted. Although the assembly tail 2 slightly exceeds the cheek 5, the guide pad 4 remains inside. It may be noted that said guide pad 4 does not completely block the cutout 27 in order to be able to pass a potential actuating strap,
  • FIGS. 11 and 12 show the invention according to a particular embodiment, when the assembly tail 2 is deployed by a distance I 2 and comes into contact with the projection 19 of the guide stud 4 at the level of one ends of the light 18,
  • Figures 13 and 14 show the invention according to a particular embodiment, when the assembly tail 2 has traveled a distance I 1 and is blocked at said hole 13 by the clips 12. The guide pad 4 then exceeds the cheek 5 and is locked in both directions at a flange 14 of the cheek and at one of the ends of the lumen 18 with said projection 19,

Les figures 15 et 16 représentent l'invention selon un mode de réalisation particulier, lorsque la queue d'assemblage 2 et le plot de guidage ont été déployés et sont désormais rentrés, par exemple lors de leur désinstallation. A cet effet, l'installateur a, préalablement avec un outil tel qu'un tournevis disposé dans la fente 22, libéré le clips 12 en faisant levier au niveau d'un bossage 21. Ladite queue d'assemblage 2 vient alors coopérer avec la saillie 19 dudit plot de guidage au niveau d'une extrémité de la lumière 18 afin d'entraîner le plot de guidage 4 en rentrée. Les figures 15 et 16 représentent le moment où ladite queue d'assemblage vient coopérer avec ledit plot de guidage 4.Figures 15 and 16 show the invention according to a particular embodiment, when the assembly tail 2 and the guide pin have been deployed and are now returned, for example during their uninstallation. For this purpose, the installer has, previously with a tool such as a screwdriver disposed in the slot 22, released the clips 12 by levering at a boss 21. Said tail assembly 2 then cooperates with the protrusion 19 of said guide pad at one end of the slot 18 to drive the guide pad 4 back. FIGS. 15 and 16 show the moment when said assembly tail cooperates with said guide stud 4.

Selon un mode de réalisation, les joues 5 présentent une fenêtre 3 et des moyens de fixation 30 aptes à permettre la fixation d'organes appropriés, et notamment un tambour de volet roulant ou encore une console permettant de fixer un tambour de volet roulant.According to one embodiment, the cheeks 5 have a window 3 and fastening means 30 adapted to allow the attachment of appropriate members, and in particular a roller shutter drum or a console for fixing a roller shutter drum.

Selon un mode de réalisation, chaque joue 5 présente un guide lames intégré sécable 20 permettant de guider le tablier ou le rideau, notamment de volet roulant dans lesdites coulisses 1 fixées de part et d'autre de l'ouvrant.According to one embodiment, each cheek 5 has a breakable integrated blade guide 20 for guiding the apron or the curtain, including roller shutter in said channels 1 fixed on either side of the opening.

L'invention concerne également un procédé pour l'installation d'un volet roulant conforme à l'invention, destiné à protéger un ouvrant, tel que notamment une fenêtre, porte ou analogue, présentant d'une part un coffre équipé à chacune de ses extrémités d'une joue 5 et renfermant un tambour autour duquel s'enroule un rideau ou un tablier et de deux coulisses 1 pour guider le rideau apte à recevoir à l'une de leurs extrémités ledit coffre.The invention also relates to a method for installing a shutter according to the invention, intended to protect an opening, such as in particular a window, door or the like, having on the one hand a trunk equipped with each of its ends of a cheek 5 and enclosing a drum around which winds a curtain or apron and two slides 1 to guide the curtain adapted to receive at one of their ends said trunk.

La figure 1 représente le procédé d'installation d'un volet roulant conforme à l'état de la technique de l'art antérieur sur un bâti 7 et sous linteau 6.FIG. 1 represents the method of installing a shutter according to the prior art of the prior art on a frame 7 and under lintel 6.

Avec les joues de l'art antérieur, l'installateur doit tout d'abord fixer les coulisses 1 au coffre 5 en emboîtant chaque guide fixe des deux joues 5 dans lesdites coulisses 1. Il doit ensuite fixer l'ensemble à savoir le coffre et les deux coulisses 1 sur le bâti 7 et sous linteau 6.With the cheeks of the prior art, the installer must first set the slides 1 to the chest 5 by fitting each fixed guide of the two cheeks 5 in said slides 1. It must then fix all, namely the trunk and the two slides 1 on the frame 7 and under lintel 6.

Le procédé conforme à l'invention permet de fixer préalablement les coulisses 1 au bâti 7 avant de venir fixer le coffre auxdites coulisses.The method according to the invention allows to previously fix the slides 1 to the frame 7 before coming to secure the trunk to said slides.

Selon l'invention, l'installation d'un ensemble coulisse 1/coffre, sur un bâti 7 et notamment sous linteau 6, se déroule selon les étapes suivantes :

  • on fixe chacune desdites coulisses (1) sur le bâti (7),
  • on dispose le coffre au-dessus des coulisses (1),
  • on dispose l'extrémité (24) de chacune desdites queues d'assemblage (2) en vis-à-vis de l'extrémité de chacune desdites coulisses (1),
  • on bascule ledit coffre jusqu'à sa position finale contre le bâti (7), notamment sous linteau (6),
  • on déploie les moyens d'assemblage (2, 4) dans ladite coulisse (1),
  • on verrouille les moyens de guidage et de verrouillage (4) à ladite coulisse (1).
According to the invention, the installation of a sliding assembly 1 / chest, on a frame 7 and in particular under lintel 6, takes place according to the following steps:
  • each of said slides (1) is fixed on the frame (7),
  • the chest is placed above the wings (1),
  • the end (24) of each of said connecting shanks (2) is arranged opposite the end of each of said slides (1),
  • said box is tilted to its final position against the frame (7), in particular under lintel (6),
  • the assembly means (2, 4) are deployed in said slide (1),
  • the guide and locking means (4) are locked to said slide (1).

Ce procédé permet avantageusement à un seul installateur de monter un volet roulant conforme à l'invention.This method advantageously allows a single installer to mount a shutter according to the invention.

Naturellement, d'autres modes de mise en oeuvre, à la portée de l'homme de l'art, auraient pu être envisagés sans pour autant sortir du cadre de l'invention.Naturally, other modes of implementation, within the reach of those skilled in the art, could have been envisaged without departing from the scope of the invention.
