Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif pour la pose, en partie haute d'une huisserie, d'un volet roulant ou analogue ayant un arbre porté par un support.The present invention relates to a device for laying, in the upper part of a frame, a shutter or the like having a shaft carried by a support.

En général, le support est formé par un coffre ou caisson à l'intérieur duquel se trouve l'arbre sur lequel s'enroule le tablier du volet, et des paliers portant cet arbre, l'un des paliers étant équipé d'un système d'entraînement (treuil, sangle, moteur électrique ...) pour entraîner l'arbre en rotation de manière à remonter ou à baisser le tablier du volet. Le support peut également être une barre de rigidification sur laquelle sont fixés les paliers de l'arbre du volet ou, de manière générale, tout élément solidaire des paliers, voire les paliers eux-mêmes. Ce tablier est constitué de lames articulées les unes par rapport aux autres, la première lame étant reliée à l'arbre.In general, the support is formed by a box or box inside which is the shaft on which winds the apron of the shutter, and bearings bearing this shaft, one of the bearings being equipped with a system drive (winch, strap, electric motor ...) to drive the rotating shaft so as to raise or lower the shutter apron. The support may also be a stiffening bar on which are fixed the bearings of the shutter shaft or, in general, any element integral with the bearings, or even the bearings themselves. This apron consists of blades articulated relative to each other, the first blade being connected to the shaft.

Pour le mettre en place, il faut disposer le support du volet roulant en partie haute de l'huisserie, en orientant l'arbre en général horizontalement. Des glissières, dans lesquelles sont engagées les extrémités des lames du tablier, sont disposées sur les côtés de l'huisserie. Le volet roulant doit être disposé correctement de telle sorte que ses lames soient bien guidées, sans frottement excessif, pendant la montée et la descente du tablier.To put it in place, it is necessary to have the roller shutter support in the upper part of the frame, by orienting the shaft in general horizontally. Slides, in which are engaged the ends of the apron blades, are arranged on the sides of the frame. The roller shutter must be properly positioned so that its blades are well guided, without excessive friction, during the ascent and descent of the deck.

Le volet roulant et son support constituent un ensemble relativement lourd dont la pose peut s'avérer délicate. En particulier, lorsque le volet roulant et son support sont disposés du côté extérieur de la fenêtre, le poseur chargé de la pose ou de la dépose du volet travaille en général depuis l'intérieur du local dont l'huisserie forme une ouverture. Il doit donc faire passer le volet roulant et son support à travers cette ouverture et se pencher également à travers cette ouverture tout en maintenant le volet roulant et son support à l'extérieur, sans les faire tomber et en les posant correctement. Outre le fait qu'elles peuvent être pénibles en raison du poids du volet roulant, ces manipulations peuvent s'avérer dangereuses en raison des risques de chute du volet roulant ou même du poseur.The shutter and its support are a relatively heavy set whose installation can be tricky. In particular, when the roller shutter and its support are arranged on the outside of the window, the installer responsible for the installation or removal of the flap generally works from inside the room whose frame forms an opening. He must therefore pass the roller shutter and its support through this opening and also lean through this opening while maintaining the roller shutter and its support outside, without dropping and posing correctly. In addition to the fact that they can be painful because of the weight of the shutter, these manipulations can be dangerous because of the risk of falling of the shutter or even the installer.

Il existe des systèmes de sécurisation utilisant par exemple des harnais ou d'autres systèmes de retenue. Dans la pratique, ces systèmes sont relativement compliqués à utiliser et ne le sont donc que rarement.There are security systems using, for example, harnesses or other restraint systems. In practice, these systems are relatively complicated to use and so are rarely so.

Le document DE 4106236 A1 décrit un dispositif pour faciliter le montage d'un coffre de volet roulant comportant deux rails et deux pièces de liaison aptes à être fixées au coffre en étant espacées l'une de l'autre.The document DE 4106236 A1 discloses a device for facilitating the mounting of a rolling shutter box having two rails and two connecting pieces adapted to be fixed to the box being spaced from one another.

L'invention vise à remédier aux inconvénients précités, pour un volet roulant dont le support n'est initialement pas pourvu de système de sécurisation.The invention aims to remedy the aforementioned drawbacks, for a roller shutter whose support is not initially provided with a security system.

Ce but est atteint grâce au fait que le dispositif de l'invention comporte deux rails, au moins deux pièces de liaison aptes à être fixées au support en étant espacées l'une de l'autre, deux coulisseaux aptes, chacun, à coulisser verticalement par rapport à un rail solidaire d'un côté de l'huisserie en étant retenu vis-à-vis de déplacements autres que ce coulissement, et des moyens pour maintenir les coulisseaux dans une position basse et dans une position haute par rapport aux rails et au fait que chaque pièce de liaison est apte à être raccordée à un coulisseau en étant immobilisée par rapport à lui par des moyens d'immobilisation comprenant des moyens d'encliquetage entre la pièce de liaison et le coulisseau.This object is achieved thanks to the fact that the device of the invention comprises two rails, at least two connecting pieces adapted to be fixed to the support being spaced apart from one another, two sliders each adapted to slide vertically. relative to a rail integral with one side of the frame being retained vis-à-vis movements other than this sliding, and means for holding the slides in a low position and in a high position relative to the rails and that each connecting piece is adapted to be connected to a slider being immobilized relative to it by immobilization means comprising latching means between the connecting piece and the slider.

Les rails étant disposés sur les côtés de l'huisserie, l'assembleur fixe les pièces de liaison sur le support du volet roulant en les espaçant conformément à l'entraxe entre les rails. Les coulisseaux étant maintenus dans une position basse par rapport aux rails, il est aisé pour le poseur de manipuler le volet roulant et son support pour raccorder les pièces de liaison aux coulisseaux dans cette position basse. En effet, dans cette situation, le porte-à-faux et les risques de chute sont nettement diminués par rapport à une situation dans laquelle la pose se ferait directement en partie haute de l'huisserie. Ensuite, il suffit de faire coulisser les coulisseaux par rapport à leur rail respectif pour amener le volet roulant en partie haute et le fixer dans cette position.The rails being arranged on the sides of the frame, the assembler sets the connecting pieces on the support of the shutter by spacing them according to the distance between the rails. The sliders being held in a low position relative to the rails, it is easy for the installer to manipulate the shutter and its support for connecting the connecting pieces to the sliders in this low position. Indeed, in this situation, the overhang and the risk of falling are significantly reduced compared to a situation in which the pose would be directly in the upper part of the frame. Then, simply slide the sliders relative to their respective rail to bring the roller shutter at the top and fix it in this position.

Pour un volet roulant ayant un seul tablier, le dispositif de l'invention comporte les deux pièces de liaison précitées.For a shutter having a single apron, the device of the invention comprises the two aforementioned connecting pieces.

Pour un système de volet roulant ayant plusieurs tabliers, le dispositif de l'invention comporte avantageusement, pour un premier tablier, une première et une deuxième pièce de liaison et, pour un deuxième tablier adjacent au premier, une troisième pièce de liaison. La troisième pièce de liaison est située vers le bord du deuxième tablier éloigné du premier tablier, tandis que la deuxième pièce de liaison, située entre les deux tabliers, joue le rôle de pièce de liaison intermédiaire, qui sert à la fois pour le premier tablier et pour le deuxième.For a roller shutter system having several aprons, the device of the invention advantageously comprises, for a first apron, a first and a second connecting piece and, for a second apron adjacent to the first, a third connecting piece. The third connecting piece is located towards the edge of the second apron removed from the first apron, while the second connecting piece, located between the two aprons, acts as an intermediate connecting piece, which serves both for the first apron. and for the second.

Le dispositif de l'invention comporte donc de préférence deux pièces de liaison pour un volet à un seul tablier et 2n - 1 pièces de liaison pour un volet à n tabliers, n étant un nombre entier supérieur à 1 et, en général, au plus égal à 4.The device of the invention therefore preferably comprises two connecting pieces for a shutter with a single apron and 2n - 1 connecting pieces for a shutter with n aprons, n being an integer greater than 1 and, in general, at most equal to 4.

Avantageusement, le support comprend une paroi arrière et les pièces de liaison sont aptes à être fixées sur la face arrière de cette paroi en étant espacées le long de cette dernière.Advantageously, the support comprises a rear wall and the connecting pieces are adapted to be fixed on the rear face of this wall being spaced along the latter.

Comme indiqué précédemment, le support peut être un coffrage comprenant une fente inférieure à travers laquelle passe le tablier du volet. C'est alors sur la paroi arrière du coffrage que sont fixées les pièces de liaison. En variante, le support peut être tout élément solidaire des paliers, par exemple une barre de rigidification ou les paliers eux-mêmes.As previously indicated, the support may be a formwork comprising a lower slot through which the shutter apron passes. It is then on the back wall of the formwork that are fixed the connecting pieces. As a variant, the support may be any element integral with the bearings, for example a stiffening bar or the bearings themselves.

Avantageusement, les moyens d'immobilisation d'une pièce de liaison par rapport à un coulisseau comprennent une butée apte à empêcher un déplacement de la pièce de liaison vers le bas par rapport au coulisseau et les moyens d'encliquetage sont aptes à être encliquetés pour empêcher un déplacement de la pièce de liaison vers le haut par rapport au coulisseau.Advantageously, the means for immobilizing a connecting piece with respect to a slide comprise a stop capable of preventing movement of the connecting piece downwards with respect to the slide and the snap-fastening means are able to be latched in order to prevent movement of the connecting piece upwards relative to the slide.

Ces moyens d'immobilisation simples permettent une fabrication des différents éléments constitutifs du dispositif pour un coût peu élevé et l'immobilisation est obtenue tout simplement en fin de course des pièces de liaison par rapport au coulisseau.These simple immobilization means allow a manufacture of the various components of the device for a low cost and the immobilization is obtained simply at the end of the stroke of the connecting parts relative to the slide.

Avantageusement, les moyens d'encliquetage comprennent des organes d'encliquetage formés en une pièce avec, respectivement, les pièces de liaison et les coulisseaux, chaque pièce de liaison et chaque coulisseau étant monobloc.Advantageously, the latching means comprise one-piece detent members with, respectively, the connecting pieces and the sliders, each connecting piece and each slider being integral.

Le prix de revient des pièces de liaison et des coulisseaux est diminué par le fait que ces pièces sont monoblocs.The cost price of the connecting pieces and sliders is reduced by the fact that these parts are monobloc.

Le dispositif de l'invention est également efficace lors du démontage ou de la dépose d'un volet roulant précédemment disposé en partie haute d'une huisserie, ou tout simplement pour procéder à une révision du mécanisme de ce volet. En effet, pour cela, il suffit de permettre un coulissement des coulisseaux vers le bas par rapport aux rails jusqu'à amener le volet roulant et son support en position basse, où ils sont maintenus par les coulisseaux, eux-mêmes maintenus dans leurs positions basses. Dans cette position il est aisé de procéder sans danger à un démontage, une réparation ou une révision.The device of the invention is also effective during disassembly or removal of a roller shutter previously disposed in the upper part of a frame, or simply to proceed to a revision of the mechanism of this component. Indeed, for this, it is sufficient to allow sliding of the sliders downwards relative to the rails to bring the shutter and its support in the low position, where they are held by the sliders, themselves maintained in their low positions. In this position it is easy to proceed without disassembly, repair or overhaul.

L'invention concerne également un procédé pour poser, en partie haute d'une huisserie, un volet roulant ou analogue ayant un arbre porté par un support et a pour but de sécuriser cette pose.The invention also relates to a method for laying, in the upper part of a frame, a shutter or the like having a shaft carried by a support and is intended to secure this pose.

Ce but est atteint grâce au fait que, dans le procédé de l'invention :

  • on fournit deux rails verticaux solidaires, chacun, d'un côté de l'huisserie,
  • on relie un coulisseau à chaque rail de telle sorte que le coulisseau soit retenu vis-à-vis de déplacements autres qu'un coulissement vertical par rapport au rail,
  • on maintient chaque coulisseau dans une position basse par rapport au rail avec lequel il coopère,
  • on fixe deux pièces de liaison au support du volet roulant ou analogue en espaçant ces pièces de telle sorte qu'elles soient aptes, chacune, à être raccordées avec un coulisseau,
  • on raccorde chaque pièce de liaison à un coulisseau maintenu dans sa position basse en immobilisant la pièce de liaison par rapport au coulisseau par une immobilisation comprenant un encliquetage, et
  • on lève le support vers la partie haute de l'huisserie en faisant coulisser les coulisseaux jusqu'à ce que ces derniers atteignent une position haute par rapport aux rails et on maintient les coulisseaux dans cette position haute.
This object is achieved by virtue of the fact that, in the method of the invention:
  • two solid vertical rails are provided, each on one side of the frame,
  • a slide is connected to each rail so that the slide is retained with respect to displacements other than vertical sliding relative to the rail,
  • each slider is kept in a low position relative to the rail with which it co-operates,
  • two connecting pieces are fixed to the support of the shutter or the like by spacing these pieces so that they are each suitable for being connected with a slide,
  • each connecting piece is connected to a slider maintained in its lower position by immobilizing the connecting piece with respect to the slider by immobilization comprising a snap, and
  • the support is raised to the upper part of the frame by sliding the sliders until they reach a high position relative to the rails and the sliders are held in this high position.

De préférence, après avoir raccordé une pièce de liaison à un coulisseau, on immobilise cette pièce par rapport à ce coulisseau en déplaçant la pièce par rapport au coulisseau jusqu'à ce que des organes d'encliquetage monoblocs avec, respectivement, la pièce de liaison et le coulisseau, s'accrochent entre eux.Preferably, after connecting a connecting piece to a slide, this piece is immobilized with respect to this slide by moving the piece relative to the slide until one-piece locking members with, respectively, the connecting piece. and the slider, cling to each other.

La figure 1 montre une ouverture 1 d'un bâtiment, en particulier une fenêtre, avec son huisserie 10. Sur les côtés verticaux de cette huisserie sont disposés des rails 12 qui s'étendent sur toute la hauteur de l'huisserie. Ces rails sont également visibles sur la figure 2, qui les présente comme s'ils étaient vus depuis l'intérieur du bâtiment.The figure 1 shows an opening 1 of a building, in particular a window, with its frame 10. On the vertical sides of this frame are arranged rails 12 which extend over the entire height of the frame. These rails are also visible on the figure 2 who presents them as if they were seen from inside the building.

Sur les figures 1 et 2, on voit un coffrage de volet roulant 14 qui forme le support de ce volet. Comme on l'a indiqué en traits interrompus sur la figure 2, le volet comporte un arbre 16 autour duquel peuvent s'enrouler les lames du tablier du volet (non représenté). Comme on l'a indiqué en traits interrompus, l'arbre est supporté par palier fixe 18 qui est porté par une joue du coffrage 14, et par un palier rotatif 20, qui peut être entraîné en rotation par un mécanisme 22 tel qu'un moteur électrique, pour enrouler le tablier sur l'arbre ou le dérouler, de manière à remonter ou baisser le volet. Bien entendu, la face inférieure du coffrage est pourvue d'une fente permettant le passage des lames du tablier.On the figures 1 and 2 , we see a shutter casing 14 which forms the support of this shutter. As indicated in dashed lines on the figure 2 , the flap comprises a shaft 16 around which can wind the blades of the deck of the flap (not shown). As indicated in phantom, the shaft is supported by fixed bearing 18 which is carried by a flange of the formwork 14, and by a rotary bearing 20, which can be rotated by a mechanism 22 such that a electric motor, to wind the apron on the shaft or unroll it, so as to go up or lower the shutter. Of course, the underside of the formwork is provided with a slot allowing the passage of the apron blades.

Deux pièces de liaison 24 sont fixées au support en étant espacées l'une de l'autre. Plus précisément, ces pièces de liaison sont fixées sur la face arrière 14A du coffrage 14, c'est-à-dire sur la face de ce coffrage qui est tournée vers l'intérieur du bâtiment. La figure 2 montre également deux coulisseaux 26 aptes, chacun, à coulisser dans un vérin 12.Two connecting pieces 24 are fixed to the support being spaced apart from each other. More specifically, these connecting pieces are fixed on the rear face 14A of the formwork 14, that is to say on the face of this formwork which is turned towards the interior of the building. The figure 2 also shows two slides 26 each adapted to slide in a cylinder 12.

Comme on le comprend en considérant la figure 1, la pose du volet roulant comprend les étapes suivantes :

  • (A) Passage du volet de son support à travers l'ouverture depuis l'intérieur du bâtiment, en inclinant le volet dans un plan vertical selon les plus grandes dimensions de l'ouverture ;
  • (B) Mise en place du volet dans une position basse en raccordant les pièces de liaison 24 aux coulisseaux 26, eux-mêmes maintenus dans une position basse par rapport aux rails 12 ;
  • (C) Déplacement du volet vers le haut par un coulissement des coulisseaux par rapport aux rails 12 ; et
  • (D) Arrivée du volet en position haute et son maintien dans cette position.
As is understood by considering the figure 1 , the installation of the shutter comprises the following steps:
  • (A) Passing the shutter of its support through the opening from inside the building, tilting the shutter in a vertical plane according to the largest dimensions of the opening;
  • (B) Placing the flap in a low position by connecting the connecting pieces 24 to the sliders 26, themselves held in a low position relative to the rails 12;
  • (C) moving the flap upwards by sliding the slides relative to the rails 12; and
  • (D) Arrival of the shutter in the up position and its retention in this position.

En référence aux figures 3 à 9, on décrit maintenant plus précisément la conformation des pièces de liaison et des coulisseaux. Dans toute la description, la direction vers l'arrière évoquée par référence à une pièce donnée est celle qui, lorsque cette pièce est mise en place, est dirigée vers l'intérieur du bâtiment. De même, la direction verticale est celle qui est orientée verticalement lorsque la pièce est en place.With reference to Figures 3 to 9 the conformation of the connecting pieces and sliders is now more precisely described. Throughout the description, the direction towards the rear evoked by reference to a given piece is that which, when this piece is put in place, is directed towards the interior of the building. Similarly, the vertical direction is the one that is oriented vertically when the piece is in place.

Chaque pièce de liaison 24 comporte une plaque arrière 28 pourvue de perçages de fixation 28A, permettant sa fixation sur la paroi arrière 14A du coffrage de volet roulant. La portion d'extrémité inférieure de la plaque arrière 28 est formée en léger décrochement 28B pour tenir compte d'une éventuelle surépaisseur 14'A dans la région inférieure de la paroi arrière 14A du coffrage. Sur sa face avant, la pièce de liaison 24 présente une nervure 30 en contre-dépouille, orientée verticalement. Plus précisément, la nervure 30 comporte un voile vertical 30A qui fait saillie vers l'avant depuis la plaque arrière 28 en s'étendant perpendiculairement à cette plaque, et un rebord 30B qui forme la partie en contre-dépouille. A l'extrémité supérieure de la nervure, ce rebord 30B forme une butée verticale 30C.Each connecting piece 24 has a rear plate 28 provided with fixing holes 28A, for its attachment to the rear wall 14A of shutter casing. The lower end portion of the rear plate 28 is formed in slight recess 28B to take into account a possible extra thickness 14'A in the lower region of the rear wall 14A of the formwork. On its front face, the connecting piece 24 has a rib 30 against undercut, oriented vertically. Specifically, the rib 30 has a vertical web 30A that protrudes forwardly from the rear plate 28 extending perpendicularly to the plate, and a flange 30B which forms the undercut portion. AT the upper end of the rib, this flange 30B forms a vertical stop 30C.

Sur l'avant de la pièce de liaison 24 et dans sa portion d'extrémité inférieure, cette pièce présente un crochet 32.On the front of the connecting piece 24 and in its lower end portion, this piece has a hook 32.

La pièce de liaison 24 comporte en outre une patte de fixation 34 qui est apte, lorsque la pièce de liaison est fixée sur la paroi arrière 14A du support de volet roulant, à faire saillie sur cette paroi pour permettre la fixation de la pièce de liaison à l'huisserie. En l'espèce, cette patte de fixation 34 est formée par une patte en L situé sur un côté de la pièce de liaison 24, et dont la partie recourbée du L fait saillie vers l'avant. Cette partie recourbée présente une encoche ou un perçage 34A. Lorsque le coffrage de volet roulant est en place, cette partie recourbée se trouve contre une portion de l'huisserie, en particulier contre un côté du rail dans lequel est engagé le coulisseau qui coopère avec la pièce de liaison considérée, de sorte qu'une vis ou analogue peut être introduite dans l'encoche ou perçage 34A pour retenir la pièce de liaison par rapport à ce rail de manière sécurisée. Cette patte de fixation équipe avantageusement au moins l'une des pièces de liaison.The connecting piece 24 further comprises a fixing lug 34 which is adapted, when the connecting piece is fixed on the rear wall 14A of the roller shutter support, to project on this wall to allow the fixing of the connecting piece. to the frame. In this case, this bracket 34 is formed by an L-shaped tab located on one side of the connecting piece 24, and the curved portion of the L protrudes forwardly. This bent portion has a notch or a bore 34A. When the shutter casing is in place, this bent portion is against a portion of the frame, in particular against one side of the rail in which is engaged the slide which cooperates with the connection piece considered, so that screw or the like may be introduced into the notch or bore 34A to retain the connecting piece relative to this rail in a secure manner. This fixing bracket advantageously equips at least one of the connecting pieces.

Considérée en coupe horizontale, la nervure 30 peut avoir une forme en T ou la forme de la lettre r.Considered in horizontal section, the rib 30 may have a T-shape or the shape of the letter r.

On décrit maintenant les coulisseaux 26. Comme on le voit sur la figure 6, chaque coulisseau 26 a une forme permettant son introduction dans la gorge 13 d'un rail 12. Plus précisément, le coulisseau se présente sous la forme d'une pièce allongée verticalement.We now describe the slides 26. As we see on the figure 6 each slider 26 has a shape allowing its insertion into the groove 13 of a rail 12. More specifically, the slider is in the form of a vertically elongate piece.

Sur toute sa portion supérieure 26A, qui s'étend environ sur les deux tiers de sa longueur, le coulisseau présente une gorge 40 en contre-dépouille. Sur cette portion supérieure, la face arrière du coulisseau est évidée et elle est limitée du côté avant par les rebords 40A et 40B de cette gorge, qui délimitent entre eux une fente 41 permettant le passage du voile 30A de la nervure 30 de la pièce de liaison. Sur leurs faces avant, les rebords 40A et 40B sont pourvus de nervures 42A et 42B, situés près des bords de la fente 41. Il s'agit donc de nervures centrales qui, lorsque le coulisseau est inséré dans la gorge 13 du rail 12, sont engagées dans la fente 13A du rail par laquelle la gorge 13 s'ouvre sur la face avant du rail pour permettre la coopération entre pièce de liaison et coulisseau. La face avant du coulisseau présente également des nervures latérales 43A et 43B qui, lorsque le coulisseau est engagé dans la gorge 13 du rail 12, sont disposées dans cette gorge. Les bords de la fente 13A de la gorge 13 du rail 12 sont légèrement entrants et coopèrent avec des régions centrales des faces avant des rebords 40A et 40B, entre les nervures 42A et 43A d'une part et les nervures 42B et 43B d'autre part.Over its entire upper portion 26A, which extends about two-thirds of its length, the slide has a groove 40 against undercut. On this upper portion, the rear face of the slider is recessed and it is limited on the front side by the flanges 40A and 40B of this groove, which delimit between them a slot 41 allowing the passage of the web 30A of the rib 30 of the piece of link. On their front faces, the flanges 40A and 40B are provided with ribs 42A and 42B, located near the edges of the slot 41. These are therefore central ribs which, when the slide is inserted into the groove 13 of the rail 12, are engaged in the slot 13A of the rail by which the groove 13 opens on the front face of the rail to allow cooperation between the connecting piece and slide. The front face of the slider also has lateral ribs 43A and 43B which, when the slide is engaged in the groove 13 of the rail 12, are arranged in this groove. The edges of the slot 13A of the groove 13 of the rail 12 are slightly inward and cooperate with the central regions of the front faces of the flanges 40A and 40B, between the ribs 42A and 43A on the one hand and the ribs 42B and 43B other go.

La portion inférieure 26B du coulisseau 26 est formée par une languette semi-flexible. En effet, cette languette peut être déformée élastiquement par rapport à son plan.The lower portion 26B of the slider 26 is formed by a semi-flexible tongue. Indeed, this tongue can be elastically deformed relative to its plane.

Cette languette 26B présente, sur sa face avant, une patte flexible 42 suivie vers le bas par une portion terminale qui présente, sur sa face arrière, un ergot 44 et, sur sa face avant, une tirette 46. La partie supérieure de l'ergot 44 est conformée en rampe.This tongue 26B has, on its front face, a flexible tab 42 followed downwards by an end portion which has, on its rear face, a lug 44 and, on its front face, a pull tab 46. The upper part of the pin 44 is shaped ramp.

La languette 26B est raccordée à la portion supérieure 26A du coulisseau dans une zone pourvue de nervures de rigidification 48 de sorte que la flexibilité de cette languette 26B concerne surtout sa portion terminale pourvue de l'ergot 44.The tongue 26B is connected to the upper portion 26A of the slide in an area provided with stiffening ribs 48 so that the flexibility of this tongue 26B mainly concerns its end portion provided with the pin 44.

La gorge 40 du coulisseau 26 est ouverte vers le haut. De plus, le rebord 30B de la nervure 30 de chaque pièce de liaison est interrompu à l'extrémité inférieure de cette nervure. En conséquence, la nervure 30 d'une pièce de liaison peut être introduite dans la gorge 40 à partir de l'extrémité supérieure du coulisseau 26. Lorsque cette nervure est engagée dans cette gorge, le retour 30B de la nervure 30 est logé dans l'évidement de la face arrière du coulisseau. L'extrémité inférieure de la gorge 40 du coulisseau est en revanche fermée, à la jonction des portions 26A et 26B de ce coulisseau. En conséquence, comme on le voit sur la figure 5, la pièce de liaison 24 peut coulisser vers le bas par rapport au coulisseau lorsque la nervure 30 est logée dans la gorge 40 de ce coulisseau, jusqu'à ce que l'extrémité inférieure de cette nervure vienne en butée avec l'extrémité inférieure de la gorge 40 et/ou que la partie supérieure de rebord 30C de la nervure 30 vienne en butée contre l'extrémité supérieure de la gorge 40. Ainsi, ces moyens de butée qui peuvent être présents simultanément ou séparément limitent le déplacement vers le bas de la pièce de liaison par rapport au coulisseau.The groove 40 of the slider 26 is open upwards. In addition, the flange 30B of the rib 30 of each connecting piece is interrupted at the lower end of this rib. As a result, the rib 30 of a connecting piece can be introduced into the groove 40 from the upper end of the slider 26. When this rib is engaged in this groove, the return 30B of the rib 30 is housed in the groove 30. recess of the rear face of the slider. The lower end of the groove 40 of the slide is on the other hand closed, at the junction of the portions 26A and 26B of this slide. As a result, as seen on the figure 5 the connecting piece 24 can slide downwards with respect to the slide when the rib 30 is housed in the groove 40 of this slide, until the lower end of this rib comes into abutment with the lower end of the slide. the groove 40 and / or the upper flange portion 30C of the rib 30 abuts against the upper end of the groove 40. Thus, these abutment means which can be present simultaneously or separately limit the downward movement of the connecting piece relative to the slide.

Pour empêcher son déplacement vers le haut, les moyens d'encliquetage sont mis en oeuvre. Plus précisément, la tête 42A de la patte flexible 42 du coulisseau peut s'engager dans le renfoncement du crochet 32 de la pièce de la liaison lorsque celle-ci est parvenue en position basse. La face supérieure de la tête 42A est conformée en rampe de sorte que la patte s'efface lorsque l'extrémité supérieure de la pièce de liaison arrive à son contact. Elle reprend naturellement sa position stable en engageant ainsi la tête 42A dans le crochet 32.To prevent its upward movement, the latching means are implemented. More specifically, the head 42A of the flexible tab 42 of the slider can engage in the recess of the hook 32 of the link part when it has reached the low position. The upper face of the head 42A is shaped as a ramp so that the tab disappears when the upper end of the connecting piece comes into contact with it. It naturally resumes its stable position thus engaging the head 42A in the hook 32.

Bien entendu, les moyens d'encliquetage peuvent être inversés, le crochet et la patte pouvant être respectivement formés dans le coulisseau et dans la pièce de liaison.Of course, the latching means can be reversed, the hook and the tab being respectively formed in the slider and in the connecting piece.

Toujours est-t-il que ce crochet et cette patte constituent des organes d'encliquetage qui sont formés en une pièce avec, respectivement, la pièce de liaison et le coulisseau. La pièce de liaison est donc monobloc, de même que le coulisseau, ces deux éléments étant avantageusement fabriqués par moulage par injection.Always is this hook and this tab are snap members which are formed in one piece with, respectively, the connecting piece and the slide. The connecting piece is thus monobloc, as well as the slide, these two elements being advantageously manufactured by injection molding.

Sur les dessins qui viennent d'être décrits, la nervure 30 est solidaire de la pièce de liaison 24, tandis que la gorge 40 qui est apte à recevoir cette nervure est solidaire du coulisseau. Une disposition inverse peut être adoptée, avec une nervure solidaire du coulisseau et une gorge solidaire de la pièce de liaison.In the drawings just described, the rib 30 is integral with the connecting piece 24, while the groove 40 which is adapted to receive the rib is secured to the slide. An inverse arrangement may be adopted, with a rib secured to the slide and a groove integral with the connecting piece.

Comme on le voit sur la figure 10, le rail 12 présente deux perçages, respectivement 50A et 50B, qui définissent respectivement les positions haute et basse d'un coulisseau 26 par rapport à ce rail. En effet, l'ergot 44 du coulisseau occupe naturellement une position d'accrochage telle que, lorsque l'ergot parvient au droit d'un perçage 50A ou 50B lors du coulissement d'un coulisseau par rapport au rail, cet ergot pénètre dans ce perçage pour maintenir le coulisseau en position basse (perçage 50A) ou haute (50B).As we see on the figure 10 , the rail 12 has two holes, respectively 50A and 50B, which respectively define the high and low positions of a slide 26 relative to this rail. Indeed, the lug 44 of the slide naturally occupies a hooking position such that, when the lug reaches the right of a bore 50A or 50B when sliding a slide relative to the rail, this lug enters this drilling to hold the slider in the down position (piercing 50A) or high (50B).

La position d'accrochage de l'ergot est celle qu'il occupe lorsque la portion terminale de la languette 26B est dans sa position naturelle, orientée verticalement. Lorsque le coulisseau est ainsi maintenu dans une de ses positions basse ou haute, il est possible de dégager l'ergot 44 de l'ouverture avec laquelle il coopère pour reprendre le coulissement du coulisseau. En particulier, la tirette 46 dépasse légèrement de la gorge 13 du rail et peut donc être saisie pour faire fléchir la patte 26B et dégager ainsi l'ergot. Il convient ici de relever que les autres parties du coulisseau sont logées dans le rail, comme on le voit sur les figures 5 et 6.The gripping position of the lug is that it occupies when the end portion of the tongue 26B is in its natural position, oriented vertically. When the slide is thus held in one of its low or high positions, it is possible to disengage the lug 44 from the opening with which it cooperates to resume sliding of the slide. In particular, the pull tab 46 protrudes slightly from the groove 13 of the rail and can therefore be grasped to bend the tab 26B and thus disengage the lug. It should be noted here that the other parts of the slider are housed in the rail, as can be seen in the Figures 5 and 6 .

Les deux rails 12 situés sur les deux côtés verticaux de l'huisserie sont en général identiques. Dans l'exemple représenté sur la figure 10, la largeur de la fente délimitée par les rebords de la gorge 13 est agrandie pour former une portion d'insertion 13' pour le coulisseau. Sur cette position, cette largeur L est sensiblement égale à la largeur du coulisseau mesurée perpendiculairement à sa longueur.The two rails 12 located on the two vertical sides of the frame are generally identical. In the example shown on the figure 10 the width of the slot delimited by the edges of the groove 13 is enlarged to form an insertion portion 13 'for the slide. In this position, this width L is substantially equal to the width of the slider measured perpendicularly to its length.

Comme on le voit sur la figure 10, le rail 12 est avantageusement formé par un profilé qui est peut être raccordé à un profilé d'huisserie préexistant par tout moyen approprié, par exemple à l'aide d'un voile d'accrochage 15 pourvu d'ergots d'accrochage 15A, et apte à être engagé dans une fente d'un profilé d'huisserie. En variante, le rail 12 peut être monobloc avec le profilé d'huisserie. La portion d'insertion 13' précitée est particulièrement utile pour un tel rail monobloc.As we see on the figure 10 , the rail 12 is advantageously formed by a profile which may be connected to a pre-existing frame profile by any appropriate means, for example by means of a fastening web 15 provided with hooking lugs 15A, and able to be engaged in a slot of a frame profile. Alternatively, the rail 12 may be integral with the frame profile. The aforementioned insertion portion 13 'is particularly useful for such a monobloc rail.

Pour poser le volet roulant ou analogue en partie haute de l'huisserie, on dispose les coulisseaux dans les rails 12 en les maintenant dans leur position basse respective, par l'engagement de leur ergot respectif 44 dans les perçages inférieurs 50A des rails. On fixe les deux pièces de liaison 24 sur la paroi arrière 14A du support de volet roulant, en les espaçant de telle sorte que l'entraxe entre les nervures respectives 30 des deux pièces de liaison corresponde à l'entraxe entre les fentes des coulisseaux. On passe alors le support de volet roulant à travers l'ouverture comme indiqué en A sur la figure 1. Après cela, on oriente le support de volet roulant horizontalement et l'on descend les pièces de liaison dans les gorges des coulisseaux jusqu'à ce qu'elles parviennent dans leur butée basse respective. Elles sont alors également retenues en déplacement vers le haut grâce aux moyens d'encliquetage (patte 42, crochet 32) précités. Le volet est alors dans la position indiquée en B sur la figure 1 et représentée sur la figure 11.To install the shutter or the like in the upper part of the frame, the sliders are placed in the rails 12 by keeping them in their respective lower positions, by the engagement of their respective lug 44 in the lower holes 50A of the rails. The two connecting pieces 24 are fixed to the rear wall 14A of the rolling shutter support, spacing them so that the spacing between the respective ribs 30 of the two connecting pieces corresponds to the spacing between the slits of the sliders. We then pass the shutter support through the opening as indicated in A on the figure 1 . After that, the shutter support is oriented horizontally and the connecting pieces are lowered into the grooves of the sliders until they reach their respective lower stops. They are then also retained in upward movement by the latching means (tab 42, hook 32) above. The flap is then in the position indicated in B on the figure 1 and represented on the figure 11 .

Dans la mesure où le support de volet roulant est placé en partie basse de l'huisserie, cette manipulation consistant à introduire les nervures des pièces de liaison dans les gorges des coulisseaux est relativement aisée et peu dangereuse. Une fois que les pièces de liaison sont maintenues par rapport aux coulisseaux à l'aide des moyens de butée et des moyens d'encliquetage précités, on tire sur les tirettes 46 pour dégager les ergots 44 des perçages 50A et on déplace vers le haut l'ensemble comportant le support de volet roulant, les pièces de liaison et les coulisseaux (voir position C de la figure 1 et figure 12) en faisant coulisser ces derniers dans les rails 12, jusqu'à ce que cet ensemble ait atteint sa position haute.Insofar as the roller shutter support is placed in the lower part of the frame, this manipulation of introducing the ribs of the connecting pieces into the grooves of the slides is relatively easy and not dangerous. Once the connecting pieces are held relative to the slides with the aid of the abutment means and the aforementioned latching means, pulls 46 are pulled to release the lugs 44 from the holes 50A and the lugs are moved upwards. assembly comprising the shutter support, the connecting pieces and the slides (see position C of the figure 1 and figure 12 ) by sliding the latter in the rails 12, until the assembly has reached its high position.

Dans la position haute (voir position D de la figure 1), les ergots 44 se positionnent d'eux-mêmes dans les perçages 50B et le support de volet roulant est maintenu en position haute. Les pièces de liaison étant fixées de telle sorte que leur patte de liaison respective 34 fasse saillie sur la paroi arrière du support 14, on peut assurer cette position haute en fixant la pièce de liaison à l'huisserie par cette patte de fixation lorsque les coulisseaux ont atteint leur position haute par rapport aux rails.In the high position (see position D of the figure 1 ), the lugs 44 are positioned themselves in the holes 50B and the shutter support is maintained in the high position. The connecting pieces being fixed so that their respective connecting lug 34 protrudes from the rear wall of the support 14, it is possible to ensure this high position by fixing the connecting piece to the frame by this fixing lug when the slides have reached their high position relative to the rails.

Lorsque l'huisserie est une ouverture telle qu'une fenêtre, dont le bas est situé à quelque distance du sol de la pièce équipée de cette fenêtre, la position basse des coulisseaux est avantageusement située à proximité du bord inférieur de cette fenêtre, par exemple à 10 ou 15 cm au-dessus de ce dernier.When the frame is an opening such as a window, the bottom of which is located at a distance from the floor of the room equipped with this window, the lower position of the sliders is advantageously located near the lower edge of this window, for example 10 or 15 cm above the latter.

Lorsqu'en revanche l'ouverture est une porte-fenêtre ou une porte, dont l'extrémité inférieure est au niveau du sol, la position basse des coulisseaux est avantageusement située à une hauteur de l'ordre de 1 mètre à 1 mètre 20 du bord inférieur de l'ouverture.When, on the other hand, the opening is a French window or a door, the lower end of which is at ground level, the lower position of the sliders is advantageously located at a height of the order of 1 meter to 1 meter 20 bottom edge of the opening.

S'il est seulement nécessaire que les rails 12 s'étendent sur une hauteur suffisante pour définir les positions haute et basse, il est toutefois avantageux qu'ils s'étendent sur toute la hauteur de l'ouverture, en particulier pour des raisons esthétiques.If it is only necessary that the rails 12 extend over a height sufficient to define the high and low positions, it is however advantageous that they extend over the entire height of the opening, in particular for aesthetic reasons. .

Le position des perçages 50A est choisie pour définir la position basse voulue. La position des perçages 50B est choisie pour définir la position haute convenable en fonction des contraintes d'encombrement (dimension du volet roulant, de son mécanisme d'actionnement, du coffrage éventuel ...) pour que la fixation du volet roulant soit bien en partie haute de la fenêtre.The position of the holes 50A is chosen to define the desired low position. The position of the bores 50B is chosen to define the appropriate high position according to the constraints of size (size of the shutter, its actuating mechanism, the possible formwork ...) so that the attachment of the shutter is in fact in upper part of the window.

De manière classique, une fois le support de volet roulant fixé en partie haute de l'ouverture, on termine la pose de ce volet, notamment en fixant, sur les côtés de l'huisserie, des coulisses pour les extrémités des lames du tablier du volet.Conventionally, once the roller shutter support fixed in the upper part of the opening, the installation of this shutter is completed, in particular by fixing, on the sides of the frame, slides for the ends of the deck planks. shutter.

Avantageusement, les deux pièces de liaison sont symétriques par rapport à l'axe vertical médian de l'ouverture. En particulier, les pattes de fixation 34 de ces deux pièces sont avantageusement situées sur leurs côtés tournés vers cet axe médian pour être fixés sur les côtés correspondants des rails.Advantageously, the two connecting pieces are symmetrical with respect to the median vertical axis of the opening. In particular, the fastening tabs 34 of these two parts are advantageously located on their sides turned towards this median axis to be fixed on the corresponding sides of the rails.

Sur la figure 13, on a représenté, vus de l'arrière et en perspective, l'arbre 116 d'un volet roulant à deux tabliers, les paliers 118 et 119 supportant à rotation le premier tronçon 116A de cet arbre et le palier 120 qui, avec le palier intermédiaire 119, supporte à rotation le deuxième tronçon 116B de l'arbre.On the figure 13 , seen from the rear and in perspective, the shaft 116 of a rolling shutter with two aprons, the bearings 118 and 119 rotatably supporting the first section 116A of this shaft and the bearing 120 which, with the intermediate bearing 119 rotatably supports the second section 116B of the shaft.

Cette figure montre également les pièces de liaison 124A, 124B, 124C qui sont respectivement directement fixées aux paliers 118, 119 et 120. Le coffrage 114 peut quant à lui être rapporté sur les paliers par tous moyens convenables. Pour chacune des pièces de liaison, un rail 12 et un coulisseau 26, analogues à ceux des figures précédentes, sont également représentés.This figure also shows the connecting pieces 124A, 124B, 124C which are respectively directly attached to the bearings 118, 119 and 120. The formwork 114 can be reported on the bearings by any suitable means. For each of the connecting pieces, a rail 12 and a slider 26, similar to those of the previous figures, are also shown.

Les pièces de liaison 124A, 124B et 124C sont analogues aux pièces de liaison 24 précédemment décrites, étant toutefois noté que la pièce de liaison intermédiaire 124B est dépourvue de la patte de fixation 34.The connecting pieces 124A, 124B and 124C are similar to the connecting pieces 24 previously described, however, it being noted that the intermediate connecting piece 124B is devoid of the fixing lug 34.

La variante de la figure 13 est remarquable en ce qu'elle porte sur un volet à deux tabliers (le même principe pouvant bien entendu être étendu à des volets à trois tabliers) et, par ailleurs, en ce que le support sur lequel sont fixées les pièces de liaison est directement formé par les paliers de l'arbre du volet.The variant of the figure 13 is remarkable in that it relates to a shutter with two aprons (the same principle can of course be extended to shutters with three aprons) and, in addition, in that the support on which are fixed the connecting parts is directly formed by the bearings of the shutter shaft.
