Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a flood protection device, this device being particularly intended to protect the openings of a dwelling such as doors or windows, through which the water is likely to penetrate during a flood.
  • This device is particularly intended for openings of the door or window type whose lower part descends to the level of the slab of the house, and through which one usually reaches the interior of the house.
  • Such devices are generally provided to withstand rising water up to 80 cm to 1 m high.
  • this level of water during a flood in fact, the water level regularly reaches a height of the order of 140 cm, so that such devices become ineffective, the water passing above said device and penetrating inside the dwelling or the home. local.
  • the object of the present invention is to overcome the disadvantages of devices currently on the market.
  • the invention provides a device for protecting an opening against flooding, said opening being delimited by at least two lateral uprights and a transverse base.
  • This device comprises in known manner a shutter plate of the lower part of the opening which is provided with a seal, and positioning means of the closure plate. These positioning means are in particular arranged to pass the plate from an inactive position to an active position in which the seal is applied continuously and frontally on the two lateral uprights and on the transverse base of the opening.
  • the device also comprises closure means arranged on the inner side of the closure plate, these closing means being operable from inside the opening, and acting on the positioning means for the passage in the inactive position. or in the active position of this closure plate placed at the limit of the base of the opening.
  • the device is remarkable in that it comprises a second sealing plate provided with a seal, this second plate being arranged above the first plate and provided with positioning means arranged to pass said second plate. an inactive position at an active position in which the seal is applied continuously and frontally on the two lateral uprights and on the upper side of the first plate in the active position.
  • the device further comprises closure means able to act on the positioning means of said second plate, these closure means being arranged on the inner side of the second plate and operable from the inside and also from the outside of the opening.
  • This design aims to close almost the entire height of the opening, which has the advantage of resisting high water levels up to levels of the order of 140 cm or more.
  • such a design of the protection device consisting of at least two closure plates arranged one above the other has the advantage of allowing the opening of the upper sealing plate when the level of water does not exceed the height of the first plate, the opening can be made from the outside, especially when all people have left the house because of the risk of accident incurred in the face of floods. It is thus possible for the owner of the premises to gain access to the interior of the dwelling when the water level begins to descend by partially disengaging the protective device while keeping a closure of the lower part of the opening, the second plate can be returned to the closed position of the upper part of the opening, by sealing with said opening and the bottom shutter plate, in case a new rise in water occurred.
  • the closure means of the second closure plate are remarkable in that they comprise a locking system arranged to allow locking and unlocking of said closure means when the second plate is in the active position, the locking system, in particular enabling the positioning means to be locked when the seal of the second closure plate is applied continuously and frontally on the two lateral uprights and on the upper side of the first plate, which itself is arranged in active position.
  • This locking system is intended to prevent any opening of the shutter plate and more generally of the entire protective device when it is put in place, which has the advantage of avoiding any break in the door. interior of the building in the absence of the owners of the premises, who notably evacuated the premises for security reasons.
  • the device 1 for protecting an opening 3 against flooding applies in particular to an opening which is delimited by two lateral uprights 5, 7 and to a transverse base 9.
  • This opening 3 is also delimited in upper part by a lintel 11.
  • the device comprises a first shutter plate 13.
