Description

L'invention se rattache au secteur technique des appareils de distribution des papiers ouatés, à coupe automatique ou non automatique. Ces appareils distributeurs peuvent avoir différentes applications, telles que papier toilette, essuie-mains ou similaires.The invention relates to the technical sector of apparatus for dispensing wadded papers, with automatic or non-automatic cutting. These dispensing apparatuses can have different applications, such as toilet paper, hand towels or the like.

Le demandeur a développé (voir figures 1-2) de nombreux appareils distributeurs de matériau d'essuyage qui comprennent un carter (1) avec couvercle (2) de protection, à l'intérieur duquel sont disposés, à partir de flasques supports latéraux (3 - 4), un tambour (5) recevant un dispositif de coupe intérieur actionné lors de la traction de la bande de matériau tirée par l'utilisateur, issue d'une bobine de matériau (6). Celle-ci peut être disposée en suspension, à partir des flasques latéraux, ou être directement en appui sur le tambour. La bobine de matériau d'essuyage est enroulée serrée sur un mandrin support. Ce mandrin (7) reçoit, à chacune de ses extrémités, deux embouts (8) profilés qui sont susceptibles de se positionner sur les flasques (3) du carter. Ces embouts sont généralement réalisés sous une forme cylindrique avec une partie discale avec un débordement (8a) susceptible de venir en appui contre la face en regard du mandrin, ladite partie discale comprenant un appendice (8b) cylindrique lisse et susceptible de venir se positionner dans une échancrure (3a) formée sur le flasque en regard considéré. Ce type d'embout (8) est simple à réaliser et est simplement positionné en appui dans l'échancrure formée sur le flasque (3) sans autre moyen de retenue.The applicant has developed (see figures 1-2 ) numerous dispensing devices for wiping material which comprise a housing (1) with protective cover (2), inside which are arranged, from side support flanges (3 - 4), a drum (5) receiving an internal cutting device actuated during the traction of the strip of material pulled by the user, from a reel of material (6). This can be arranged in suspension, from the side plates, or be directly supported on the drum. The reel of wiping material is tightly wound on a support mandrel. This mandrel (7) receives, at each of its ends, two profiled end pieces (8) which are capable of being positioned on the flanges (3) of the housing. These tips are generally made in a cylindrical shape with a disc part with an overflow (8a) capable of bearing against the facing face of the mandrel, said disc part comprising a smooth cylindrical appendage (8b) capable of coming to be positioned in a notch (3a) formed on the facing flange considered. This type of tip (8) is simple to produce and is simply positioned to rest in the notch formed on the flange (3) without any other retaining means.

On connaît par ailleurs un embout de retenue décrit dans WO-A-96/23719 conformé pour être introduit dans un rail de guidage fixe d'un appareil distributeur de matériau d'essuyage. On connaît aussi des appareils distributeur dans lesquels le tambour ou mandrin recevant la bobine de matériau ne présente pas d'embout, voir DE 627 094 et DE 89 12 053U .A retaining tip is also known described in WO-A-96/23719 configured to be introduced into a fixed guide rail of a wiping material dispenser apparatus. Dispensing devices are also known in which the drum or mandrel receiving the reel of material does not have a tip, see FROM 627,094 and DE 89 12 053U .

Le problème, posé réside dans le fait qu'en fin de bobine (6), celle-ci présente un poids beaucoup plus limité, de part la réduction de son épaisseur, et toute traction forte par l'utilisateur sur l'extrémité (6a) de la partie de vue de son sectionnement est susceptible d'avoir un effet indirect sur ladite bobine de matériau qui peut être, sensiblement soulevée et. avoir un effet indirect sur la transmission, de force correspondante.The problem, posed lies in the fact that at the end of the coil (6), it has a much more limited weight, due to the reduction in its thickness, and any strong traction by the user on the end (6a ) of the view part of its sectioning is likely to have an indirect effect on said reel of material which can be substantially lifted and. have an indirect effect on the transmission, of corresponding force.

Dans une telle situation, il peut arriver que la bobine (6) de matériau puisse échapper à sa zone (3a) de positionnement sur les flasques (3) entraînant un effet d'échappement. La bobine de matériau peut donc tomber dans le fond de l'appareil distributeur et ainsi gêner son fonctionnement ou l'empêcher.In such a situation, it may happen that the reel (6) of material can escape its positioning zone (3a) on the flanges (3) causing an escape effect. The reel of material can therefore fall into the bottom of the dispensing device and thus interfere with its operation or prevent it.

La démarche du demandeur a donc été de rechercher une solution pour remédier à cet inconvénient et garantir la tenue et le maintien de la bobine de matériau même en phase de fin de dévidage.The applicant's approach was therefore to seek a solution to remedy this drawback and guarantee the holding and maintenance of the reel of material even at the end of unwinding phase.

Un autre but recherché, selon l'invention, était de concevoir un embout qui soit agencé de manière spécifique pour répondre aux objectifs recherchés, étant considéré que toute utilisation de l'embout selon l'art antérieur ne puisse être utilisé avec la mise en œuvre proposée par l'invention.Another desired object, according to the invention, was to design a tip which is arranged in a specific manner to meet the desired objectives, it being considered that any use of the tip according to the prior art cannot be used with the implementation. proposed by the invention.

Un autre but recherché, selon l'invention, était de concevoir un nouvel embout répondant, aux problèmes posés, dans une mise en oeuvre peu coûteuse, et un coût supplémentaire éventuel insignifiant par rapport à la réalisation d'embouts selon l'art antérieur, en prévoyant également, à titre complémentaire, des aménagements spécifiques sur le ou les flasques du carter de l'appareil distributeur qui n'engendrent pas des coûts supplémentaires excessifs dans la mise en œuvre.Another desired object, according to the invention, was to design a new end piece responding, to the problems posed, in an inexpensive implementation, and a possible insignificant additional cost compared to the production of end pieces according to the prior art, also providing, as a complementary, specific arrangements on the flange (s) of the casing of the dispensing device which do not generate excessive additional costs in the implementation.

Un autre but recherché était de concevoir un embout et des aménagements spécifiques des flasques du carter qui permettent l'évacuation automatique de la bobine en fin de dévidage lors de l'ouverture du couvercle de l'appareil distributeur.Another sought-after object was to design a tip and specific arrangements of the flanges of the casing which allow the automatic evacuation of the reel at the end of unwinding when the cover of the dispensing device is opened.

Ces buts et d'autres encore ressortiront bien de la suite de la description.These aims and others will become apparent from the remainder of the description.

Selon l'invention, l'appendice (10c) présente, dans son épaisseur et sur sa longueur, un rainurage (10d) formant un chemin de guidage. Ce rainurage est susceptible de coopérer avec un profilé complémentaire établi sur un moyen (11 - 12 - 15) formant guide disposé, fixe ou articulé, sur et par rapport au(x) flasque(s) (3) support de la bobine de matériau en regard du carter (1) de l'appareil distributeur de matériau d'essuyage.According to the invention, the appendage (10c) has, in its thickness and over its length, a groove (10d) forming a guide path. This grooving is capable of cooperating with a complementary profile established on a means (11 - 12 - 15) forming a guide arranged, fixed or articulated, on and relative to the flange (s) (3) supporting the reel of material next to the housing (1) of the wiping material dispenser.

En se référant à la première variante présentée aux figures 4a à 4d, le guide (11) est établi d'une manière fixe en étant conformé directement par moulage avec le flasque (3) considéré. Ce guide (11) se trouve être disposé du côté intérieur du flasque (3) du côté susceptible de recevoir la bobine de matériau (6) ainsi que le tambour (5) du dispositif de coupe correspondant. Le guide (11) présente ainsi des formes spécifiques formant et définissant un canal, susceptible de recevoir l'appendice (10c) de l'embout. Le guide (11), dans la version représentée dans les figures 4a à 4d, comprend une base (11a) se prolongeant par un côté par une bande verticale (11b) en définissant une fente (11c) profilée formant canal pour le passage et la retenue de l'embout. La configuration de la fente est établie avantageusement sous une forme en baïonnette avec une partie verticale et une partie horizontale ou sensiblement inclinée (11d) dans l'épaisseur de la base. La zone d'étranglement (11e) formée entre la bande verticale et la partie formant bec (11f) à la partie supérieure de la base (11a) permet le passage de l'appendice (10c) de l'embout. Sur le pourtour de la bande (11b) et de la base (11a), la partie médiane (11g) présente une forme méplate légèrement en saillie dont la largeur correspond en pratique à la largeur de la rainure formée sur l'appendice de l'embout. On comprend ainsi que, selon cette réalisation, on obtient un positionnement correct de l'embout par l'accouplement et la liaison de la forme méplate précitée et de la partie formant rainure de l'appendice dudit embout, et autoriser un guidage approprié.Referring to the first variant presented to figures 4a to 4d , the guide (11) is established in a fixed manner by being shaped directly by molding with the flange (3) considered. This guide (11) is located on the inside of the flange (3) on the side capable of receiving the reel of material (6) as well as the drum (5) of the corresponding cutting device. The guide (11) thus has specific shapes forming and defining a channel, capable of receiving the appendage (10c) of the nozzle. The guide (11), in the version shown in figures 4a to 4d , comprises a base (11a) extending on one side by a vertical strip (11b) defining a profiled slot (11c) forming a channel for the passage and retention of the tip. The configuration of the slot is advantageously established in a bayonet shape with a vertical part and a horizontal or substantially inclined part (11d) in the thickness of the base. The constriction zone (11e) formed between the vertical strip and the part forming a spout (11f) at the upper part of the base (11a) allows the passage of the appendix (10c) of the nozzle. On the periphery of the strip (11b) and of the base (11a), the middle part (11g) has a slightly projecting flat shape, the width of which corresponds in practice to the width of the groove formed on the appendage of the mouthpiece. It is thus understood that, according to this embodiment, a correct positioning of the end piece is obtained by the coupling and the connection of the aforementioned flat shape and of the part forming a groove of the appendage of said end piece, and allowing appropriate guidance.

De manière avantageuse également, la zone d'étranglement (11e) peut présenter un léger rétrécissement pour obliger une légère poussée vers le bas ou vers le haut de l'embout et du mandrin et bobine associée, selon que l'on veuille introduire l'embout ou le faire ressortir pour le dégager en vue d'un changement de bobine.Also advantageously, the constriction zone (11e) can have a slight narrowing to force a slight downward or upward thrust of the end piece and of the mandrel and associated coil, depending on whether it is desired to introduce the nozzle or pull it out to release it for a reel change.

Ainsi, dans cette mise en œuvre, la forme spécifique de l'appendice de l'embout et du guide établi sur le flasque permettent d'éviter que la bobine puisse s'échapper transversalement puisqu'il est retenu par la liaison de la nervure ou méplat en saillie et de son rainurage. Le débattement latéral est donc exclu. Il faut nécessairement relever l'embout et le sortir de son logement, ce qui améliore ainsi largement la sécurité d'utilisation de l'ensemble. On a représenté le guide (11) disposé à droite ou à gauche, comme représenté aux figures 4a et 4b.Thus, in this implementation, the specific shape of the appendage of the end piece and of the guide established on the flange make it possible to prevent the coil from escaping transversely since it is retained by the connection of the rib or projecting flat and its grooving. Lateral movement is therefore excluded. It is necessary to raise the end piece and take it out of its housing, which thus greatly improves the safety of use of the assembly. The guide (11) is shown on the right or on the left, as shown in figures 4a and 4b .

La partie inférieure de la base présente un pan oblique (11h), côté extérieur, tandis que la ligne (11m) est horizontale.The lower part of the base has an oblique side (11h), on the outside, while the line (11m) is horizontal.

Ainsi, selon cette disposition et pour éviter tout risque de positionnement d'un embout selon l'art antérieur, la base du guide peut être établie au niveau de la partie horizontale et/ou oblique du canal de la partie base avec le pan oblique (11h) tourné vers l'extérieur qui fasse que tout embout non désiré puisse obligatoirement s'échapper du logement considéré.Thus, according to this arrangement and to avoid any risk of positioning a tip according to the prior art, the base of the guide can be established at the level of the horizontal and / or oblique part of the channel of the base part with the oblique face ( 11h) facing outwards which means that any unwanted nozzle can necessarily escape from the housing in question.

Dans une autre mise en oeuvre de l'invention, sensiblement plus complexe, comme représenté aux figures 5 à 7, le guide (12) est établi sous la forme d'un volet articulé entre deux blocs (13 - 14) en saillie disposés et moulés avec les flasques considérés (3). Le guide formant volet (12) présente une forme en canal avec une fente (12a) correspondante aménagée comme dans la réalisation précédente avec, dans l'épaisseur du volet, une forme en saillie (12b) dont la largeur correspond strictement à la largeur de la rainure formée sur l'appendice de l'embout.In another implementation of the invention, substantially more complex, as shown in figures 5 to 7 , the guide (12) is established in the form of a flap articulated between two projecting blocks (13 - 14) arranged and molded with the flanges considered (3). The guide forming a shutter (12) has a channel shape with a corresponding slot (12a) arranged as in the previous embodiment with, in the thickness of the shutter, a projecting shape (12b) whose width strictly corresponds to the width of the shutter. the groove formed on the appendage of the tip.

Le guide de volet (12), ainsi réalisé, est monté sur un axe (18) entre les deux blocs (13 - 14) supports, avec un léger décalage par rapport à la face en regard du flasque (3) considéré, ce décalage étant représenté par (d). Les faces apparentes (13a - 14a) des deux blocs (13 - 14) supports du guide volet sont susceptibles de constituer des faces d'appui contre la partie discale de l'embout.The shutter guide (12), thus produced, is mounted on an axis (18) between the two support blocks (13 - 14), with a slight offset relative to the facing face of the flange (3) considered, this offset being represented by (d). The visible faces (13a - 14a) of the two support blocks (13 - 14) of the shutter guide are capable of constituting bearing faces against the disc part of the tip.

Lors de la phase initiale de positionnement, le volet est en position escamotée, comme représentée figure 6, et sa face basse (12d) vient en contact avec la paroi du flasque (3). La mise en place de l'embout (10) à travers son appendice (10c) dans le guide volet (12) entraîne la mise en contact de sa partie discale avec les faces avant d'appui (13a - 14a) des deux blocs (13 - 14) disposés de part et d'autre du guide volet et ainsi provoquer le pivotement jusqu'à la verticale dudit volet jusqu'à ce que l'embout (10) soit en position basse inférieure. Une telle disposition est extrêmement avantageuse car elle sécurise la mise en place de l'embout (10). En effet, la liaison et l'accouplement formés entre le guide volet à travers son nervurage du méplat intérieur et la rainure formée sur l'appendice de l'embout provoque, par cet accouplement, le pivotement du volet lors de la descente de l'embout. Dans l'hypothèse où l'embout qui serait utilisé ne correspondrait à celui objet de l'invention, c'est-à-dire qu'il présente un appendice lisse sans autre configuration, il n'y aurait donc pas d'effet de retour à la verticale dudit guide volet par l'absence de liaison et d'accouplement, et le mandrin viendrait donc à tomber dans le carter intérieur correspondant de l'appareil distributeur.During the initial positioning phase, the shutter is in the retracted position, as shown figure 6 , and its lower face (12d) comes into contact with the wall of the flange (3). The placement of the tip (10) through its appendage (10c) in the flap guide (12) brings its disc part into contact with the front bearing faces (13a - 14a) of the two blocks ( 13 - 14) arranged on either side of the shutter guide and thus cause said shutter to pivot vertically until the end piece (10) is in the lower lower position. Such an arrangement is extremely advantageous because it secures the positioning of the end piece (10). In fact, the connection and the coupling formed between the shutter guide through its ribbing of the internal flat and the groove formed on the appendage of the end piece causes, by this coupling, the pivoting of the shutter during the descent of the mouthpiece. In the event that the tip that would be used does not correspond to that which is the subject of the invention, that is to say that it has a smooth appendage without any other configuration, there would therefore be no effect of return to the vertical of said shutter guide by the absence of connection and coupling, and the mandrel would therefore fall into the corresponding inner casing of the dispensing device.

Comme représenté dans la première variante, et ainsi qu'il apparaît dans les figures 6 et 7, la partie inférieure du guide volet présente un pan oblique, côté extérieur, tandis que la ligne au-delà de la zone médiane est horizontale.As shown in the first variant, and as it appears in the figures 6 and 7 , the lower part of the shutter guide has an oblique side on the outside, while the line beyond the middle zone is horizontal.

Ainsi, par l'invention, on sécurise la mise en place de la bobine de matériau, et ce quelle que soit sa situation de dévidage.Thus, by the invention, the positioning of the reel of material is made secure, regardless of its unwinding situation.

On se réfère maintenant à la troisième variante illustrée aux figures 8 à 11. Dans celle-ci, l'embout agencé, selon l'invention, coopère avec un guide (15) disposé à partir des flasques latéraux (3) du carter pour assurer, outre les fonctions ci-avant rappelées, mais aussi pour autoriser, en combinaison avec ledit guide, l'échappement de la bobine en fin de matériau lorsque le couvercle de l'appareil est ouvert. A cet effet, ce guide (15) est monté articulé par rapport au flasque (3) intérieur, et ce à l'encontre de deux pattes (16 - 17) fixées ou moulées audit flasque, ces pattes présentant, des ouvertures (16a - 17a) autorisant l'engagement de deux doigts (15a - 15b) formés et disposés en opposition sur ledit guide (15). Ce guide (15) présente une forme en U avec la zone d'ouverture et d'accès (15c) orientée vers le haut pour l'introduction de l'appendice (10c) de l'embout (10) et sa partie de fond (15d) orientée vers le bas, le guide (15) étant incliné angulairement. Ainsi, les deux doigts (15a - 15b) sont disposés sur les chants extérieurs (15e - 15f) dudit moyen. Ce dernier présente aussi une fente (15g) dans sa partie médiane en prolongement de la zone d'ouverture et d'accès (15c) permettant le guidage et l'enfilement de l'embout (10) par son appendice, et ainsi la mise en place de la bobine de matériau. Les faces internes (15h - 15m) délimitant la fente (15g) constitue le chemin de guidage de l'embout, particulièrement de l'appendice (10c) et de sa rainure (10d) de retenue et de guidage. Plus particulièrement, la largeur de la face interne (15h) inférieure est établie pour être sensiblement inférieure à la dimension de la rainure afin d'assurer une bonne retenue. Par contre, l'autre face interne (15m) supérieure est de largeur moindre, tout en participant à ladite retenue de l'embout.Reference is now made to the third variant illustrated in figures 8 to 11 . In this, the end piece arranged, according to the invention, cooperates with a guide (15) arranged from the side flanges (3) of the housing to ensure, in addition to the functions recalled above, but also to allow, in combination with said guide, the exhaust of the coil at the end of the material when the cover of the apparatus is open. To this end, this guide (15) is mounted articulated relative to the inner flange (3), and this against two tabs (16 - 17) fixed or molded to said flange, these tabs having openings (16a - 17a) allowing the engagement of two fingers (15a - 15b) formed and arranged in opposition on said guide (15). This guide (15) has a U-shape with the opening and access zone (15c) facing upwards for the introduction of the appendix (10c) of the end piece (10) and its bottom part. (15d) oriented downwards, the guide (15) being inclined angularly. Thus, the two fingers (15a - 15b) are arranged on the outer edges (15e - 15f) of said means. The latter also has a slot (15g) in its middle part as an extension of the opening and access zone (15c) allowing the guiding and threading of the tip. (10) by its appendix, and thus the installation of the material reel. The internal faces (15h - 15m) delimiting the slot (15g) constitute the guide path of the end piece, particularly of the appendix (10c) and its retaining and guiding groove (10d). More particularly, the width of the lower internal face (15h) is set to be substantially less than the dimension of the groove in order to ensure good retention. On the other hand, the other upper internal face (15m) is of lesser width, while participating in said retention of the nozzle.

Par ailleurs, l'articulation du guide (15) par rapport au flasque, lors de l'insertion de l'appendice (10c) de l'embout, lors de la mise en place de la bobine de matériau, s'effectue à l'encontre d'une languette (15n) qui est liée au guide (15) à son extrémité fixe, et présente une capacité élastique de débattement en venant en appui sur la face interne en regard du flasque (3), et ce dans des conditions similaires et équivalentes à la mise en oeuvre de la seconde variante. Ledit flasque (3) présente une découpe (3a) pour autoriser le passage de l'extrémité du guide (15) en situation de non sollicitation, c'est-à-dire de non mise en place de la bobine de matériau.Furthermore, the articulation of the guide (15) relative to the flange, during the insertion of the appendage (10c) of the end piece, during the installation of the reel of material, is carried out at the 'against a tongue (15n) which is linked to the guide (15) at its fixed end, and has an elastic capacity for movement by resting on the internal face facing the flange (3), and this under conditions similar and equivalent to the implementation of the second variant. Said flange (3) has a cutout (3a) to allow the passage of the end of the guide (15) in a situation of non-stress, that is to say of non-installation of the reel of material.

Selon une disposition particulière de ce guide (15), celui-ci est agencé pour permettre le basculement et l'échappement de la bobine de matériau dans une situation particulière qui est celle relative à l'ouverture du couvercle de l'appareil distributeur. L'appareil distributeur peut, en effet, être aménagé ainsi que l'enseigne le brevet FR 2874165 du Demandeur, avec un dispositif de chargement de bobine d'essuyage dans lequel la mise en place de la bobine s'effectue lors de la fermeture du couvercle. A cet effet, les flasques latéraux entre lesquels est montée la bobine, sont agencés avec des moyens spécifiques et lesdits flasques ont eux-mêmes une capacité de flexibilité et d'articulation, pour s'écarter lors de l'ouverture du couvercle et se repositionnent dans un plan perpendiculaire à la face de fond du carter lors de la fermeture du couvercle et ainsi maintenir la bobine de matériau d'essuyage.According to a particular arrangement of this guide (15), the latter is arranged to allow the tilting and the escape of the reel of material in a particular situation which is that relating to the opening of the cover of the dispensing device. The dispensing device can, in fact, be fitted out as taught in the patent FR 2874165 Applicant, with a wiping reel loading device in which the reel is placed when the cover is closed. For this purpose, the side flanges between which the coil is mounted are arranged with specific means and said flanges themselves have a flexibility and articulation capacity, to move apart when the cover is opened and reposition themselves. in a plane perpendicular to the bottom face of the housing when closing the cover and thus hold the coil of wiping material.

A cet effet, le guide (15), et dans cette mise en œuvre, doit pouvoir permettre le basculement et l'échappement de la bobine de matériau lors de l'ouverture dudit couvercle de l'appareil distributeur, de par l'écartement du flasque support de la bobine.For this purpose, the guide (15), and in this implementation, must be able to allow the tilting and the escape of the reel of material during the opening of said cover of the dispensing device, by the spacing of the spool support flange.

A cet effet, le guide (15) est ainsi agencé dans son fond et de chaque côté de la fente longitudinale avec deux évidements (15p - 15s) opposés, l'un supérieur (15p), côté extérieur du guide (15) en regard du flasque, l'autre inférieur (15s), côté intérieur du guide (15) au regard de la bobine. Cette mise en oeuvre permet ainsi, lorsque les deux flasques support de bobine s'écartent, de libérer la bobine qui peut basculer vers le bas, du côté opposé à la réception du guide (15) sur l'autre flasque, et ainsi être dégagé dudit guide (15). En effet, les évidements (15p - 15s) sont établis de manière à permettre l'orientation de la bobine et de son embout spécifique associé dans un plan angulaire permettant d'échapper au plan de retenue de l'appendice de l'embout, et autoriser ainsi, par coulissement vers le bas, son échappement avec ladite bobine.For this purpose, the guide (15) is thus arranged in its bottom and on each side of the longitudinal slot with two opposing recesses (15p - 15s), the upper one (15p), outer side of the guide (15) facing of the flange, the other lower (15s), inner side of the guide (15) opposite the coil. This implementation thus makes it possible, when the two spool support flanges move apart, to release the spool which can tilt downwards, on the side opposite to the reception of the guide (15) on the other flange, and thus be released. of said guide (15). Indeed, the recesses (15p - 15s) are established so as to allow the orientation of the coil and its associated specific tip in an angular plane allowing to escape the retaining plane of the appendage of the tip, and thus allow, by sliding downwards, its escape with said coil.

Ainsi, le guide (15) constitue la version optimisée pour le verrouillage en position de l'embout et de la bobine d'essuyage mais aussi pour le déchargement de la bobine lors de l'ouverture du couvercle de l'appareil en vue du changement de bobine ou pour toute autre opération.Thus, the guide (15) constitutes the optimized version for locking the nozzle and the wiping reel in position, but also for unloading the reel when the cover of the device is opened for the purpose of changing. coil or for any other operation.

Les avantages ressortent bien de l'invention. On souligne la simplicité du concept et l'absence réel du coût supplémentaire de fabrication puisque les pièces sont directement formées lors du moulage des composants de l'embout et du flasque correspondant. Dans la dernière version, seule l'adjonction d'un volet supplémentaire est nécessaire avec son montage.The advantages are clearly apparent from the invention. The simplicity of the concept and the real absence of the additional cost of manufacturing since the parts are directly formed during the molding of the components of the end piece and the corresponding flange. In the latest version, only the addition of an additional shutter is necessary with its assembly.
