Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for protection against flooding, said device being placed at the level of the openings of buildings, such as the openings of doors or French windows, through which the water is likely to penetrate during a flooding, causing damage to the internal wall walls of buildings and furniture.
  • the present invention will in particular be implemented by metallurgists, or by manufacturers of metal joinery.
  • the device comprises a frame that is reversibly deployable in said opening, and an expandable and fluid impermeable membrane, said membrane being disposed through the frame and being arranged to stretch upon deployment of the frame.
  • the deployment of the frame and the membrane can be made in several directions, in particular in the sense of the width of the opening and in the vertical direction. This design makes it possible to adapt the device to the width of the opening and makes it possible to obtain a good seal when it is put in place, the lateral edges of said device being pressed against the flanks of the opening, and the lower edge of the opening.
  • the document FR 2,830,042 discloses a protection device for closing at least the lower part of a door-type opening, said opening comprising on its sides side-angle inserts.
  • the device comprises a closure plate whose width is adapted to that of the opening.
  • the device comprises, firstly, first fastening means arranged between the angles and the plate, said means for pressing the inner face of the plate on the wall wall of the opening, and secondly second fixing means arranged between the lower part of the plate and the lower part of the opening, said means for pressing the lower part of the plate on the lower part of the opening.
  • the document DE 40 23 286 discloses a device for closing an opening provided with a plate that is adjustable in width and height. The adjustment is used to press the sides of the plate on the sides of the opening.
  • anchoring means are arranged between the lower part of the plate and the lower part of the opening.
  • the document EP 1 300 537 discloses a flood protection device consisting of two plates mounted sliding relative to each other so as to adapt the width of the device to that of the opening. In addition, the fixing of the device is done with brackets fixed on the walls of the opening.
  • the document EP 1 441 102 discloses a device against flooding consisting of two panels between which are arranged threaded rods for changing the spacing between said panels and to provide a pressure capable of pressing the side seals panels on the sidewalls of the opening.
  • the document GB 2,373,811 discloses a device for protection against flooding, consisting of a plate provided with fastening means for pressing it on angles reported on the side walls of the opening. It can therefore be seen that the known devices either have no fixing means ensuring the plating of the lower part of the plate on the lower part of the opening, or provide additional anchoring means on the lower part of the opening. to effect the plating of the lower part of the plate on said lower part.
  • the implementation of fixing means on the lower part of the opening has certain disadvantages. Indeed, when the device is unused, the people flowing through the opening may get their feet in the fixing means arranged on the ground. In addition, when this fixing on the lower part of the opening is carried out by a fastening type screwing, the holes used for fixing the device may be blocked, this closure being due in particular to dust or dirt incrusting in the orifices.
  • the aim of the present invention is to propose a new mode of design of protection device of the flood dam type which has the advantage of adapting to the width of the opening to be closed, by proposing an adjustment range of said device, in width, which is important so as to adapt said device to different types of openings, such as for example a door-type opening, a window-type opening, with multiple leaves, or an opening called "bay window” .
  • the device according to the present invention also has the advantage of ensuring the positional retention of said device when it is subjected to shocks that may come from objects that are driven by the stream of water that flows, or because of the pressure exerted by the water which flows with a flow generally important during the rise of the water.
  • Another object of the present invention is to eliminate the addition of additional anchoring means on the lower part of the opening. This avoids cluttering the lower part of the opening, especially when the device is not used.
  • the present invention relates to a protection device for closing at least the lower part of an opening, such as a door opening, during a flood, said device comprising parts attached to the flanks of the opening angle type and at least one closure plate whose width can be adapted to that of the opening.
  • the device is remarkable in that it comprises fixing means bearing on the angles, arranged to seal plate the lower part of the plate on the lower part of the opening, and simultaneously to seal at least the edges side of the inner face of said plate on said brackets.
  • the protection device 1 allows the closure of an opening 3.
  • This opening is preferably closed at its lower part and at its side walls, for a sufficient height, for example one meter in height, preventing the water from passing above said protection device 1 during a flood.
  • the device 1 comprises at least one closure plate 5 whose width can be adapted to that of the opening 3.
  • the device can for example fit on a door-type opening having approximately 85 cm wide, and it can also be adapted to a window-type opening, for example two or three leaves up to a width of about 170 cm, as well as garage doors and bay windows whose opening has a width of 160 to 280 cm.
  • the device comprises means for fixing the closure plate and the inserts on the flanks of the opening; these fixing means are arranged to press the lower part 7 of the plate 5 on the lower part 9 of the opening 3, which can be constituted by the ground, and simultaneously to press at least the lateral edges 11, 13 of the inner face 15 of the plate on the inserts 17,19 on the flanks 21,23 of the opening.
  • This plating is achieved by ensuring a seal during the establishment of the closure plate 5 at the opening 3.
