Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de protection contre les inondations, ce dispositif étant notamment destiné à protéger les ouvertures d'une habitation telles que les portes ou les portes fenêtres, par lesquelles l'eau est susceptible de pénétrer lors d'une inondation. Ce dispositif est notamment prévu pour les ouvertures du type porte ou porte fenêtre dont la partie inférieure descend jusqu'au niveau de la dalle de l'habitation, et par lesquelles on accède habituellement à l'intérieur de l'habitation.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.

On connaît déjà de nombreux dispositifs qui permettent d'éviter la pénétration de l'eau par les ouvertures des habitations, notamment du type portes ou éventuellement fenêtres, lors d'une inondation. Un tel dispositif est par exemple décrit dans la demande de brevet publiée sous le numéro FR 2.853.683 . Ces dispositifs permettent une obturation étanche de la partie basse de l'ouverture qui est délimitée par deux montants latéraux et un soubassement transversal sur lesquels vient se plaquer un joint d'étanchéité, ledit dispositif offrant une résistance importante aux pressions dues à la montée des eaux.Numerous devices are already known which make it possible to prevent the penetration of water through the openings of dwellings, in particular of the type doors or possibly windows, during a flood. Such a device is for example described in the patent application published under the number FR 2,853,683 . These devices allow tight sealing of the lower part of the opening which is delimited by two lateral uprights and a transverse base on which is pressed a seal, said device offering a significant resistance to the pressures due to rising waters .

De tels dispositifs sont généralement prévus pour permettre de résister à une montée de l'eau pouvant atteindre 80 cm à 1 m de hauteur. Toutefois, avec les crues récentes et le dérèglement climatique que l'on rencontre, il est fréquent de dépasser ce niveau d'eau lors d'une inondation ; en effet, le niveau de l'eau atteint régulièrement une hauteur de l'ordre de 140 cm, si bien que de tels dispositifs deviennent inefficaces, l'eau passant au dessus dudit dispositif et pénétrant à l'intérieur de l'habitation ou du local.Such devices are generally provided to withstand rising water up to 80 cm to 1 m high. However, with the recent floods and the climatic disturbance that we encounter, it is common to exceed 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.

Par ailleurs, les habitations sont généralement évacuées lors d'une inondation pour des raisons de sécurité ou de confort. Les dispositifs de protection qui remplissent certes leur fonction d'étanchéité, sauf en cas de forte pluie, n'empêchent toutefois pas l'accès à l'ouverture. Il est pour cela fréquent de voir des dégradations au niveau des ouvertures, des malfaiteurs profitant de l'absence des propriétaires pour s'introduire dans l'habitation et piller les lieux.In addition, dwellings are usually evacuated during a flood for reasons of safety or comfort. Protective devices that fulfill their sealing function, except in the event of heavy rain, do not prevent access to the opening. It is for this reason frequent to see degradations at the level of openings, malefactors taking advantage of the absence of the owners to break into the house and loot the premises.

Le but de la présente invention est de remédier aux inconvénients des dispositifs actuellement sur le marché.The object of the present invention is to overcome the disadvantages of devices currently on the market.

Pour cela, l'invention propose un dispositif de protection d'une ouverture contre les inondations, ladite ouverture étant délimitée par au moins deux montants latéraux et un soubassement transversal. Ce dispositif comprend de manière connue une plaque d'obturation de la partie basse de l'ouverture qui est munie d'un joint d'étanchéité, et des moyens de positionnement de la plaque d'obturation. Ces moyens de positionnement sont notamment agencés pour passer la plaque depuis une position inactive à une position active selon laquelle le joint d'étanchéité est appliqué de manière continue et frontale sur les deux montants latéraux et sur le soubassement transversal de l'ouverture. Le dispositif comprend également des moyens de fermeture agencés du coté interne de la plaque d'obturation, ces moyens de fermeture étant actionnables depuis l'intérieur de l'ouverture, et permettant d'agir sur les moyens de positionnement pour le passage en position inactive ou en position active de cette plaque d'obturation mise en place en limite du soubassement de l'ouverture.For this, 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.

Le dispositif est remarquable en ce qu'il comprend une seconde plaque d'obturation munie d'un joint d'étanchéité, cette seconde plaque étant agencée au dessus de la première plaque et munie de moyens de positionnement agencés pour passer ladite seconde plaque d'une position inactive à une position active dans laquelle le joint d'étanchéité est appliqué de manière continue et frontale sur les deux montants latéraux et sur le flanc supérieur de la première plaque en position active. Le dispositif comprend par ailleurs des moyens de fermeture aptes à agir sur les moyens de positionnement de ladite seconde plaque, ces moyens de fermeture étant agencés du coté interne de la seconde plaque et actionnables de l'intérieur et également de l'extérieur de l'ouverture.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.

Cette conception a pour but de pouvoir obturer la quasi-totalité de la hauteur de l'ouverture, ce qui présente pour avantage de résister à des montées des eaux importantes pouvant atteindre des niveaux de l'ordre de 140 cm voire plus.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.

Par ailleurs, une telle conception du dispositif de protection constitué d'au moins deux plaques d'obturation agencées l'une au dessus de l'autre présente pour avantage de permettre l'ouverture de la plaque d'obturation supérieure lorsque le niveau d'eau ne dépasse pas la hauteur de la première plaque, l'ouverture pouvant se faire de l'extérieur, notamment lorsque toutes les personnes ont quitté l'habitation en raison des risques d'accident encourus faces aux inondations. Il est ainsi possible au propriétaire des lieux d'accéder à l'intérieur de l'habitation lorsque le niveau de l'eau commence à descendre en dégageant partiellement le dispositif de protection tout en conservant une obturation de la partie basse de l'ouverture, la seconde plaque pouvant être remise en position d'obturation de la partie supérieure de l'ouverture, en faisant étanchéité avec ladite ouverture et la plaque d'obturation basse, au cas où une nouvelle montée de l'eau se produisait.Furthermore, 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.

Selon la présente invention, les moyens de fermeture de la seconde plaque d'obturation sont remarquables en ce qu'ils comprennent un système de verrouillage agencé pour permettre le blocage et le déblocage desdits moyens de fermeture lorsque la seconde plaque est en position active, le système de verrouillage permettant notamment le blocage des moyens de positionnement lorsque le joint d'étanchéité de la seconde plaque d'obturation est appliqué de manière continue et frontale sur les deux montants latéraux et sur le flanc supérieur de la première plaque, elle-même disposée en position active.According to the present invention, 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.

Ce système de verrouillage a pour but d'empêcher toute ouverture de la plaque d'obturation et plus généralement de l'ensemble du dispositif de protection lorsque celui-ci est mis en place, ce qui présente pour avantage d'éviter toute effraction à l'intérieur du bâtiment en l'absence des propriétaires des lieux, qui ont notamment évacué lesdits lieux pour des raisons de sécurité.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.

Cette première plaque d'obturation 13 est munie également de moyens de fermeture 23 qui sont aptes à agir sur les moyens de positionnement 21 pour le passage de la plaque 13 dans la position inactive ou dans la position active. Ces moyens de fermeture 23 sont agencés du coté interne 19 de la plaque 13 et sont actionnables depuis l'intérieur de l'ouverture 3.This first shutter plate 13 is also provided with closure means 23 which are able to act on the positioning means 21 for the passage of the plate 13 in the inactive position or in the active position. These closure means 23 are arranged on the inner side 19 of the plate 13 and are operable from inside the opening 3.

Selon la présente invention, le dispositif comprend une seconde plaque d'obturation 25. Cette seconde plaque d'obturation 25 est munie également d'un joint d'étanchéité 27,29 qui est agencé sur la face interne 31 de ladite plaque 25, au niveau de ses cotés latéraux, et sur son flanc inférieur. Cette seconde plaque 25 est agencée au dessus de la première plaque 13 tel que représenté sur les figures 1 et 2. La seconde plaque 25 est munie de moyens de positionnement 33 agencés du coté interne 31 de la plaque 25, et permettant le passage de celle-ci d'une première position inactive, c'est-à-dire libre, voire dégagée par rapport à l'ouverture 3, à une seconde position active selon laquelle ladite seconde plaque 25 est en position sur l'ouverture 3, le joint d'étanchéité 27,29 étant appliqué de manière continue et frontale sur les deux montants latéraux 5,7 de l'ouverture et sur le flanc supérieur 35 de la première plaque 13, ladite première plaque 13 étant préalablement positionnée en position active tel que décrit ci-dessus.According to the present invention, the device comprises a second sealing plate 25. This second sealing plate 25 is also provided with a seal 27, 29 which is arranged on the inner face 31 of said plate 25, level of its lateral sides, and on its lower flank. This second plate 25 is arranged above the first plate 13 as represented on the figures 1 and 2 . The second plate 25 is provided with positioning means 33 arranged on the inner side 31 of the plate 25, and allowing the passage thereof to a first inactive position, that is to say free, or cleared with respect to the opening 3, at a second active position in which said second plate 25 is in position on the opening 3, the gasket 27,29 being applied continuously and frontally on the two lateral uprights 5,7 of the opening and on the upper side 35 of the first plate 13, said first plate 13 being previously positioned in the active position as described above.

Cette seconde plaque d'obturation 25 est munie de moyens de fermeture 37 aptes à agir sur les moyens de positionnement 33 pour bloquer la seconde plaque 25 en position active, ces moyens de fermeture 37 étant agencés du coté interne 31 de la plaque 25 et actionnables à la fois de l'intérieur et de l'extérieur de l'ouverture 3.This second closure plate 25 is provided with closure means 37 able to act on the positioning means 33 to lock the second plate 25 in the active position, these closure means 37 being arranged on the inner side 31 of the plate 25 and operable both inside and outside the opening 3.

Ainsi, l'utilisateur positionne dans un premier temps la première plaque d'obturation 13 en position active en manoeuvrant des moyens de fermeture 23 disposés du coté interne de l'ouverture 3 et de la plaque 13, ces moyens de fermeture 23 étant facilement accessibles de l'extérieur étant donné la hauteur de la plaque 13 qui atteint approximativement 80 cm à 1 m de hauteur. Puis une fois cette première plaque 13 en position active, l'utilisateur peut mettre en place la seconde plaque d'obturation 25 en position active sur la première plaque 13 et sur l'ouverture 3, en manoeuvrant les moyens de fermeture 37 soit depuis l'intérieur, notamment lorsque l'utilisateur souhaite rester à l'intérieur de l'habitation, soit depuis l'extérieur, lorsque l'utilisateur souhaite quitter l'habitation, notamment pour des raisons de sécurité.Thus, the user first positions the first closure plate 13 in the active position by operating closure means 23 disposed on the inner side of the opening 3 and the plate 13, these closure means 23 being easily accessible. from the outside given the height of the plate 13 which reaches approximately 80 cm to 1 m in height. Then once this first plate 13 in the active position, the user can set up the second closure plate 25 in the active position on the first plate 13 and on the opening 3, by operating the closing means 37 is from the inside, especially when the user wants to stay inside the house, either from the outside, when the user wants to leave the house, especially for security reasons.

Tel que représenté sur les figures 1 et 2, les moyens de fermeture 37 sur la seconde plaque d'obturation 25 comprennent un dispositif de manipulation à double poignées 39,41, dont l'une 39 est disposée du coté intérieur 31 de la seconde plaque 25 et l'autre 41 est disposée sur son coté extérieur 43.As shown on the figures 1 and 2 , the closure means 37 on the second closure plate 25 comprise a double handle manipulation device 39,41, one 39 of which is disposed on the inner side 31 of the second plate 25 and the other 41 is disposed on its external side 43.

Le dispositif de manipulation comprend une pièce de liaison 45 agencée entre les deux poignées 39,41, tel que représenté sur la figure 5. Pour cela, la seconde plaque d'obturation 25 est munie d'une lumière 47 qui permet le passage de ladite pièce de liaison 45 au travers de la plaque 25, ladite pièce de liaison 45 recevant à ses extrémités les poignées 39,41 dont l'une 39 est disposée face interne 31 et l'autre 41 face externe 43 de la plaque 25. Ainsi, la pièce de liaison 45 peut se déplacer suivant la lumière 47 lors de la manoeuvre du dispositif de manipulation.The handling device comprises a connecting piece 45 arranged between the two handles 39, 41, as shown in FIG. figure 5 . For this, the second closure plate 25 is provided with a slot 47 which allows the passage of said connecting piece 45 through the plate 25, said connecting piece 45 receiving at its ends the handles 39, 41 of which one 39 is disposed internal face 31 and the other 41 outer face 43 of the plate 25. Thus, the connecting piece 45 can move along the light 47 during the operation of the handling device.

Selon un mode préférentiel et non limitatif, cette lumière 47 est agencée en partie supérieure de la seconde plaque d'obturation 25, et elle débouche au niveau de son flanc supérieur 49. Selon un mode préférentiel et non limitatif, cette lumière 47 présente une forme longitudinale légèrement circulaire et disposée suivant le sens vertical, la position de cette lumière 47 et ses dimensions correspondant notamment au déplacement circulaire de la pièce de liaison 45 lors de la manoeuvre du dispositif de manipulation pour actionner les moyens de positionnement 33 de la seconde plaque 25.According to a preferred and nonlimiting mode, this light 47 is arranged in the upper part of the second closure plate 25, and it opens at its upper sidewall 49. In a preferred and nonlimiting mode, this light 47 has a shape longitudinal slightly vertical and arranged in the vertical direction, the position of this light 47 and its dimensions corresponding in particular to the circular displacement of the connecting piece 45 during the operation of the manipulation device for actuating the positioning means 33 of the second plate 25 .

Tel que représenté sur les figures 3 et 4, les moyens de fermeture 37 de la seconde plaque 25 comprennent un système de verrouillage 51 qui est agencé sur la face interne 31 de la plaque 25 pour permettre le blocage desdits moyens de fermeture 37 lorsque ladite seconde plaque 25 est en position active, c'est-à-dire lorsque les moyens de positionnement 33 maintiennent la seconde plaque 25 en appui plaquée sur les montants latéraux 5,7 de l'ouverture 3 et sur le flanc supérieur 29 de la première plaque 13. Ce système de verrouillage 51 permet donc soit le blocage des moyens de fermeture 37, lorsque la seconde plaque 25 est en position active, soit leur déblocage pour permettre le passage en position inactive de ladite plaque 25.As shown on the figures 3 and 4 , the closure means 37 of the second plate 25 comprise a locking system 51 which is arranged on the inner face 31 of the plate 25 to allow the locking of said closure means 37 when said second plate 25 is in the active position, c ' that is to say when the positioning means 33 maintain the second plate 25 pressed against the side posts 5,7 of the opening 3 and on the upper side 29 of the first plate 13. This locking system 51 allows either the locking of the closure means 37, when the second plate 25 is in the active position, ie their release to allow the passage in the inactive position of said plate 25.

Ce système de verrouillage 51 a pour but d'éviter toute manipulation des moyens de fermeture 37. Pour cela, ledit système de verrouillage 51 est muni de moyens de blocage qui sont agencés pour empêcher tout déplacement du dispositif de manipulation pouvant engendrer le passage de la seconde plaque 25 de la position active à la position inactive.This locking system 51 is intended to prevent any manipulation of the closure means 37. For this, said locking system 51 is provided with locking means which are arranged to prevent any displacement of the handling device that can cause the passage of the second plate 25 from the active position to the inactive position.

Selon un mode préférentiel de conception, le système de verrouillage 51 est tel que représenté sur la figure 3. Ce système de verrouillage 51 comprend une pièce de butée 53 agencée pour agir sur le dispositif de manipulation, et des moyens de translation 55 de la pièce de butée 53 agencés pour déplacer ladite pièce de butée 53 et pour engager celle-ci contre la pièce de liaison 45 disposée au travers de la lumière 47, tel que représenté sur la figure 5. L'engagement de la pièce de butée 53 contre la pièce de liaison 45 est possible lorsque les moyens de fermeture 37 sont actionnés. Ainsi, il est nécessaire tout d'abord de positionner la seconde plaque d'obturation 25 en position active en agissant sur les moyens de fermeture 37 qui actionnent les moyens de positionnement 33, ladite action entraînant le déplacement du dispositif de manipulation, et notamment de la pièce de liaison 45, au travers de la lumière 47 d'une première position où la pièce de liaison 45 se situe en limite 57 de la lumière 47, près du flanc supérieur 49, voire dégagée de celle-ci, à une position où ladite pièce de liaison 45 se trouve en butée 59 dans le fond de la lumière 47, lesdits moyens de translation 55 pouvant alors être actionnés pour translater la pièce de butée 53 qui vient s'engager dans la pièce de liaison 45,empêchant alors toute manoeuvre du dispositif de manipulation.According to a preferred mode of design, the locking system 51 is as shown in FIG. figure 3 . This locking system 51 comprises a stop piece 53 arranged to act on the handling device, and translational means 55 of the stop piece 53 arranged to move said abutment piece 53 and to engage it against the workpiece. connection 45 arranged through the light 47, as shown in FIG. figure 5 . The engagement of the stop piece 53 against the connecting piece 45 is possible when the closing means 37 are actuated. Thus, it is first necessary to position the second closure plate 25 in the active position by acting on the closing means 37 which actuate the positioning means 33, said action causing the movement of the handling device, and in particular of the connecting piece 45, through the light 47 of a first position where the connecting piece 45 is at the limit 57 of the light 47, near the upper flank 49, or even disengaged therefrom, at a position where said connecting piece 45 is in abutment 59 in the bottom of the light 47, said translation means 55 can then be actuated to translate the abutment piece 53 which engages in the connecting piece 45, thus preventing any maneuvering of the handling device.

Selon un mode préférentiel de conception représenté sur la figure 4, la pièce de butée 53 est constituée d'une plaque 61 dont les dimensions correspondent, voire sont sensiblement supérieures à celles de la lumière 47 réalisée sur la plaque d'obturation 25. Cette plaque 61 est munie d'une encoche 63 débouchant sur un de ses cotés latéraux 65. Cette encoche 63 a pour fonction de recevoir la pièce de liaison 45 lorsque ladite pièce de butée 53 translate sous l'effet des moyens de translation 55. Lorsque le système de verrouillage 51 est débloqué, la pièce de butée 53 se situe à proximité de la lumière 47, l'encoche 63 de la plaque étant dégagée de la pièce de liaison 45, ce qui permet la manoeuvre du dispositif de manipulation. Lorsque le système de verrouillage 51 bloque le dispositif de manipulation, la pièce de butée 53 translate et se positionne en vis-à-vis de la lumière 47, la pièce de liaison 45 se logeant dans l'encoche 63, ladite encoche 63 faisant alors butée et empêchant tout déplacement de la pièce de liaison 45 et, par conséquent, du dispositif de manipulation ; la plaque d'obturation 25 supérieure ne peut donc pas être retirée, ce qui interdit, par la même occasion, la manipulation de la plaque d'obturation 13 inférieure.According to a preferred mode of design represented on the figure 4 the stop piece 53 consists of a plate 61 whose dimensions correspond to, or even are substantially greater than those of the light 47 This plate 61 is provided with a notch 63 opening on one of its lateral sides 65. This notch 63 serves to receive the connecting piece 45 when said abutment piece 53 translates as a guide. Effect of the translation means 55. When the locking system 51 is unlocked, the abutment piece 53 is located near the slot 47, the notch 63 of the plate being disengaged from the connecting piece 45, which allows the manipulation of the handling device. When the locking system 51 blocks the handling device, the stop piece 53 translates and is positioned opposite the light 47, the connecting piece 45 being housed in the notch 63, said notch 63 then stop and preventing any displacement of the connecting piece 45 and, therefore, the handling device; the upper sealing plate 25 can not be removed, which also prohibits the manipulation of the lower sealing plate 13.

Ce système de verrouillage 53 est, selon un mode préférentiel, muni de moyens d'étanchéité. Les moyens d'étanchéité ont pour fonction d'assurer une étanchéité au niveau de la lumière 47 mise en oeuvre sur la seconde plaque d'obturation 25. Cette lumière 47 est de préférence prévue en limite supérieure de la seconde plaque d'obturation, dans une zone située à une hauteur supérieure au niveau d'eau atteint, en général, lors d'une inondation, et de préférence à une hauteur supérieure à 1,50 m. Toutefois, les moyens d'étanchéité permettent avantageusement d'éviter toute infiltration d'eau en particulier lorsque l'eau située à l'extérieur est plus ou moins agitée, comme par exemple lors de passages de bateaux de secouristes qui sont généralement motorisés et génèrent des vagues.This locking system 53 is, in a preferred embodiment, provided with sealing means. The sealing means serve to ensure a seal at the level of the light 47 implemented on the second sealing plate 25. This light 47 is preferably provided at the upper limit of the second sealing plate, in an area higher than the water level usually reaches a flood, and preferably above 1.50 m. However, the sealing means advantageously make it possible to prevent any infiltration of water, in particular when the water situated outside is more or less agitated, as for example during passages of rescue boats which are generally motorized and generate waves.

Pour cela, la plaque 61 constituant la pièce de butée, représentée à la figure 4, comprend, de préférence, un joint d'étanchéité disposé sur toute sa surface, ce joint d'étanchéité étant en appui sur la face interne 31 de la seconde plaque 25 d'obturation, et couvre toute l'ouverture de la lumière 47 pour empêcher le passage de l'eau au travers de celle-ci.For this, the plate 61 constituting the abutment piece, represented in FIG. figure 4 , preferably comprises a seal disposed over its entire surface, this seal being in abutment on the inner face 31 of the second sealing plate 25, and covers the entire opening of the light 47 to prevent the passage of water through it.

Les moyens de translation 55 de la pièce de butée 53 sont, selon un mode préférentiel de conception représenté sur la figure 6, actionnés au moyen d'une clé de commande 67 qui actionne un barillet 69 permettant la translation d'un penne 71 à l'extrémité 73 duquel est solidarisée la pièce de butée qui dispose d'une patte 75 d'assemblage telle que représentée en figure 4. Cette clé de commande 67 est extractible du système de verrouillage 51, ce qui empêche sa manipulation par les personnes ne disposant pas de cette clé de commande 67. On empêche ainsi toute effraction à l'intérieur de l'habitation lorsque le dispositif de protection est mis en place et que le système de verrouillage est actionné.The translation means 55 of the abutment piece 53 are, according to a preferred embodiment of design represented on the figure 6 , actuated by means of a control key 67 which actuates a cylinder 69 allowing the translation of a pin 71 to the end 73 of which is secured the stop piece which has a bracket 75 as shown in FIG. figure 4 . This control key 67 is extractable from the locking system 51, which prevents its manipulation by people who do not have this control key 67. This prevents any break in the home when the protective device is set up and that the locking system is operated.

On peut prévoir un bouton de commande 76 du barillet 69 sur le coté interne du système de verrouillage 51, la clé de commande 67 étant agencée uniquement sur le coté externe du système de verrouillage 51 pour empêcher le déverrouillage du système depuis l'extérieur de l'habitation lorsque le dispositif 1 est mis en place et que la clé de commande est retirée.A control knob 76 of the barrel 69 can be provided on the inner side of the locking system 51, the control key 67 being arranged only on the outer side of the locking system 51 to prevent the unlocking of the system from outside the locking system 51. housing when the device 1 is put in place and that the control key is removed.

Tel que représenté sur la figure 1, les moyens de fermeture 23 de la première plaque d'obturation 13 sont constitués d'une poignée de manipulation 77 qui est actionnable de l'intérieur de l'ouverture 3. Cette poignée de manipulation 77 peut être manipulée notamment de l'intérieur de l'habitation, mais éventuellement aussi de l'extérieur, lorsque la seconde plaque d'obturation 25 est préalablement dégagée de l'ouverture 3, la personne désirant ouvrir et dégager la première plaque d'obturation 13 pouvant facilement manipuler ladite poignée 77 qui est de préférence située en partie supérieure sur la face interne 19 de la première plaque 13, dont la hauteur ne dépasse pas, de préférence, 80 cm à 1 m de haut ; cette poignée 77 est donc facilement accessible de l'extérieur de l'ouverture par une personne adulte. Par ailleurs, cette poignée de manipulation 77 reste complètement inaccessible lorsque la seconde plaque d'obturation 25 est en position active sur l'ouverture 3 et est verrouillée dans cette position active.As shown on the figure 1 , the closure means 23 of the first closure plate 13 consist of a handling handle 77 which is operable from inside the opening 3. This handling handle 77 can be manipulated especially from within the house, but possibly also from the outside, when the second closure plate 25 is previously released from the opening 3, the person wishing to open and clear the first closure plate 13 can easily handle said handle 77 which is preferably located in the upper part on the inner face 19 of the first plate 13, whose height does not exceed, preferably, 80 cm to 1 m high; this handle 77 is easily accessible from outside the opening by an adult person. Moreover, this handling handle 77 remains completely inaccessible when the second shutter plate 25 is in the active position on the opening 3 and is locked in this active position.

Selon un mode de conception préféré, les moyens de positionnement 21 de la première plaque 13 et les moyens de positionnement 33 de la seconde plaque 25 sont similaires, seuls les moyens de fermeture 23,37 présentant une conception différente, tel que décrit ci-dessus. On pourrait toutefois envisager des conceptions différentes pour les moyens de positionnement 21,33, en particulier pour les moyens de positionnement 21 de la première plaque 13 qui ne nécessitent pas une accessibilité depuis l'extérieur de l'ouverture lorsque la deuxième plaque 25 est en position active.According to a preferred design mode, the positioning means 21 of the first plate 13 and the positioning means 33 of the second plate 25 are similar, only the closure means 23,37 having a different design, as described above. However, it would be possible to envisage different designs for the positioning means 21, 33, in particular for the positioning means 21 of the first plate 13 which do not require accessibility from outside the opening when the second plate 25 is in position. active position.

Selon un mode de conception représenté sur les figures 2 et 6, ces moyens de positionnement 21,33 comprennent des moyens d'articulation 79 de la plaque 13,25 par rapport à l'un 5 des montants latéraux 5,7 de l'ouverture 3. Ces moyens d'articulation 79 sont agencés pour permettre la rotation angulaire de la plaque 13,25 par rapport audit montant latéral 5, et sa translation verticale par rapport aux deux montants 5,7. Cette conception permet donc dans un premier temps de pivoter la plaque d'obturation 13,25 pour plaquer les joints d'étanchéité 15,27 sur les montants latéraux 5,7 de l'ouverture 3, puis d'exercer une translation verticale vers le bas de ladite plaque 13,25 pour plaquer le joint 17,29 sur le soubassement transversal 9 de l'ouverture 3, lorsqu'il s'agit de la première plaque d'obturation 13, et sur le flanc supérieur 35 de cette première plaque 13 lorsqu'il s'agit de positionner la seconde plaque d'obturation 25.According to a design mode represented on the figures 2 and 6 these positioning means 21, 33 comprise hinge means 79 of the plate 13, 25 relative to one of the lateral uprights 5, 7 of the opening 3. These hinge means 79 are arranged to allow the angular rotation of the plate 13,25 with respect to said lateral upright 5, and its vertical translation with respect to the two uprights 5,7. This design therefore makes it possible firstly to pivot the closure plate 13, 25 to press the seals 15, 27 onto the lateral posts 5, 7 of the opening 3 and then to translate vertically towards the bottom of said plate 13,25 to press the seal 17,29 on the transverse base 9 of the opening 3, when it is the first sealing plate 13, and on the upper side 35 of this first plate 13 when positioning the second shutter plate 25.

Tel que représenté sur la figure 6, ces moyens de pivotement 79 sont constitués par au moins une charnière 81 montée sur ressort 83, cette charnière étant agencée entre l'un 85 des cotés latéraux 85,87 de la plaque d'obturation 13,25 et le montant latéral 5,7 de l'ouverture 3 qui est adjacent audit coté latéral 85,87.As shown on the figure 6 these pivoting means 79 are constituted by at least one hinge 81 mounted on spring 83, this hinge being arranged between one 85 of the lateral sides 85, 87 of the closure plate 13, 25 and the lateral upright 5.7 of the opening 3 which is adjacent to said lateral side 85,87.

Les moyens de positionnement 21,33 comprennent également des moyens de blocage 89 agencés sur les montants latéraux 5,7 , et un système de fermeture 91,93 agencé sur la face interne 19,31 de la plaque d'obturation 13,25, ledit système de fermeture 91,93 coopérant avec les moyens de blocage 89.The positioning means 21, 33 also comprise locking means 89 arranged on the lateral uprights 5, 7, and a closure system 91, arranged on the internal face 19, 31 of the closure plate 13, 25, closing system 91, 93 cooperating with the locking means 89.

Selon un mode préférentiel, ces moyens de blocage 89 sont répartis uniformément sur les deux montants latéraux 5,7 de l'ouverture 3. On pourrait toutefois envisager leur mise en oeuvre uniquement sur le montant latéral 7 opposé à celui 5 recevant les moyens de pivotement 79.According to a preferred embodiment, these locking means 89 are evenly distributed on the two lateral uprights 5, 7 of the opening 3. It could be however, consider their implementation only on the lateral amount 7 opposite that 5 receiving the pivoting means 79.

Le système de fermeture 91,93 est actionnable par les moyens de fermeture 23,37. Ainsi, lorsque le dispositif de manipulation est manoeuvré pour le passage de la plaque d'obturation 13,25 d'une position inactive à une position active, le système de fermeture 91,93 coopère avec les moyens de blocage 89 pour maintenir le joint d'étanchéité 15,17,27,29 appliqué sur les montants latéraux 5,7 et sur le soubassement 9 de l'ouverture 3, lorsqu'il s'agit de la première plaque d'obturation 13 , et sur le flanc supérieur 35 de la première plaque 13, lors de la mise en place en position active de la seconde plaque 25. Lors de la manoeuvre du dispositif de manipulation pour le passage de la plaque 13,25 d'une position active à une position inactive le système de fermeture 91,93 se dégage des moyens de blocage 89.The closure system 91, 93 can be actuated by the closing means 23, 37. Thus, when the handling device is operated for the passage of the closure plate 13,25 from an inactive position to an active position, the closure system 91,93 cooperates with the blocking means 89 to maintain the seal. sealing 15,17,27,29 applied to the lateral uprights 5,7 and on the base 9 of the opening 3, when it is the first closure plate 13, and on the upper flank 35 of the first plate 13, during the implementation in the active position of the second plate 25. During the operation of the handling device for the passage of the plate 13,25 from an active position to an inactive position the closure system 91.93 disengages locking means 89.

Selon le mode de conception représenté sur la figure 1, le système de fermeture 91,93 est constitué de deux doubles bras 95,97,99,101. Ces doubles bras sont articulés entre eux et avec la plaque 13,25. Le premier double bras 95,99 est positionné en partie supérieure de la plaque 13,25, et le second 97,101 en partie inférieure. Chaque double bras se compose donc de deux bras 103,105 qui disposent à leur extrémité 107 d'une patte d'appui 109, telle que représentée en figure 3. Ces pattes d'appui 109 coopèrent avec les moyens de blocage 89 pour assurer le maintien de l'étanchéité au niveau du soubassement 9 de l'ouverture 3 ou au niveau du flanc supérieur 35 de la plaque d'obturation 13. Ces pattes d'appui 109 coopèrent également avec les faces internes des montants latéraux 5,7 pour assurer l'étanchéité au niveau des montants latéraux 5,7 de l'ouverture 3 en empêche la rotation angulaire des plaques 13,25. Chaque bras 103,105 est monté en liaison pivot 111 sur la face interne 19,31 de la plaque 13,25 au moyen d'un axe de pivotement. Pour chacun des doubles bras 95,97,99,101, l'un 103 des bras 103,105 dispose à son extrémité 113 d'une lumière longitudinale 115 suivant l'axe de ce bras 103, et l'autre bras 105 dispose d'une pièce de guidage 117 agencée pour être disposée dans ladite lumière 115 sur le premier bras 103. Cette conception permet d'assurer un montage en liaison du second bras 105 sur le premier bras 103, celui-ci pouvant translater le long de la lumière 115 et pivoter par rapport à celle-ci.According to the design mode shown on the figure 1 , the closure system 91,93 consists of two double arms 95,97,99,101. These double arms are articulated with each other and with the plate 13,25. The first double arm 95,99 is positioned in the upper part of the plate 13,25, and the second 97,101 in the lower part. Each double arm thus consists of two arms 103, 105 which have at their end 107 a support lug 109, as shown in FIG. figure 3 . These support lugs 109 cooperate with the locking means 89 to maintain the seal at the base 9 of the opening 3 or at the upper side 35 of the closure plate 13. These lugs support 109 also cooperate with the internal faces of the lateral uprights 5, 7 to ensure the seal at the lateral uprights 5, 7 of the opening 3 prevents the angular rotation of the plates 13, 25. Each arm 103, 105 is mounted in pivot connection 111 on the internal face 19, 31 of the plate 13, 25 by means of a pivot axis. For each of the double arms 95, 97, 99, 101, one 103 of the arms 103, 105 has at its end 113 a longitudinal slot 115 along the axis of this arm 103, and the other arm 105 has a piece of guide 117 arranged to be arranged in said slot 115 on the first arm 103. This design makes it possible to ensure mounting in connection with the second arm 105 on the first arm 103, the latter being able to translate along the light 115 and pivot relative thereto.

L'extrémité 113 du bras 103 disposant de la rainure 115 est disposée en partie supérieure du système de fermeture 91,93 solidaire des moyens de fermeture 23,27. Cette extrémité 113 du bras 103 supérieur est également articulée avec l'extrémité 113 du bras 103 inférieur, au moyen d'un bras de transmission intermédiaire 121. Ainsi, la manoeuvre du dispositif de manipulation permet d'agir simultanément sur les quatre bras 103,105 supérieurs et inférieurs qui pivotent par rapport à leur axe de pivotement 111, permettant ainsi aux pattes 109 de prendre appui sur les moyens de blocage 89 et sur les faces internes des montants latéraux 5,7.The end 113 of the arm 103 having the groove 115 is disposed in the upper part of the closure system 91,93 secured to the closure means 23,27. This end 113 of the upper arm 103 is also articulated with the end 113 of the lower arm 103, by means of an intermediate transmission arm 121. Thus, the operation of the handling device makes it possible to act simultaneously on the four upper arms 103, 105 and lower which pivot relative to their pivot axis 111, thus allowing the tabs 109 to bear on the locking means 89 and on the inner faces of the lateral uprights 5,7.

Les moyens de blocage 89 se composent de quatre pièces de butée 123 qui sont disposées sur la face interne 125 des montants latéraux 5,7 à une hauteur correspondant à la position des pattes 109 lorsque le dispositif de manipulation est actionné, ce qui correspond à une position de la pièce de liaison en butée dans le fond de la lumière en ce qui concerne la seconde plaque d'obturation. Ces quatre pièces de butée 123 s'étendent dans une position horizontale par rapport aux faces internes 125 desdits montants latéraux 5,7. Ainsi, les montants latéraux 5,7 disposent chacun de quatre pièces de butée 123 dont deux, inférieures, coopèrent avec les pattes d'appui 109 de la première plaque d'obturation 13 et les deux autres, supérieures, coopèrent avec les pattes d'appui 109 sur la seconde plaque d'obturation 25. Ces pièces de butée 123 sont uniformément réparties sur les montants 5,7 et disposées à une même hauteur sur chacun des montants 5,7, afin d'assurer une répartition uniforme des appuis lorsque les plaques sont en position active.The blocking means 89 consist of four stop pieces 123 which are arranged on the internal face 125 of the lateral uprights 5, 7 at a height corresponding to the position of the tabs 109 when the handling device is actuated, which corresponds to a position of the connecting piece in abutment in the bottom of the light with respect to the second sealing plate. These four stop pieces 123 extend in a horizontal position relative to the internal faces 125 of said lateral uprights 5, 7. Thus, the lateral uprights 5, 7 each have four abutment pieces 123, two of which, lower, cooperate with the bearing tabs 109 of the first closure plate 13 and the other two upper ones cooperate with the tabs of FIG. support 109 on the second closure plate 25. These stop pieces 123 are uniformly distributed on the uprights 5.7 and arranged at the same height on each of the uprights 5.7, to ensure a uniform distribution of the supports when the plates are in active position.

Un tel mode de conception du système de fermeture et des moyens de positionnement sont notamment décrits et détaillés dans le brevet FR 03.10178 qui peut être judicieusement mis en oeuvre sur le dispositif de protection selon la présente invention. On pourra toutefois envisager d'autres moyens, notamment pour la plaque d'obturation 13 inférieure, comme par exemple ceux décrits dans la demande de brevet déposée sous le numéro FR 06.54796 .Such a design mode of the closure system and positioning means are described in particular and detailed in the patent. FR 03.10178 which can be judiciously implemented on the protection device according to the present invention. However, it will be possible to envisage other means, in particular for the lower sealing plate 13, such as for example those described in the patent application filed under the number FR 06.54796 .
