Description

La présente invention concerne une armoire de rangement, du type comportant au moins un rideau de fermeture déformable coulissant dans deux glissières agencées dans des parties opposées de l'armoire.The present invention relates to a storage cabinet, of the type comprising at least one deformable closing curtain sliding in two rails arranged in opposite parts of the cabinet.

Le terme "armoire" présentement utilisé doit être compris dans son acceptation la plus large, englobant tout type de meuble, casier ou boîte de rangement.The term "wardrobe" currently used must be understood in its broadest acceptance, encompassing any type of furniture, locker or storage box.

ARRIERE-PLAN DE L'INVENTIONBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

L'état de la technique ancien est illustré par le document FR-422 623 A , qui décrit un meuble de bureau à rideau souple coulissant, dans lequel le rideau souple constitué d'un placage bois-linoléum est équipé de barrettes horizontales de rigidification qui s'étendent sur toute la largeur du rideau, de sorte que les bords libres du rideau et les extrémités des barrettes circulent dans des glissières opposées. Des rubans métalliques flexibles sont en outre prévus entre la paroi interne du rideau et les barrettes horizontales, lesdits rubans s'étendant dans la direction de circulation du rideau. Les barrettes ne sont donc pas au contact direct du rideau, mais sont fixées sur les rubans métalliques.The state of the art is illustrated by the document FR-422 623 A , which discloses a sliding soft curtain office furniture, in which the flexible wood-linoleum veneer curtain is equipped with horizontal stiffening bars which extend over the entire width of the curtain, so that the free edges of the curtain curtain and the ends of the bars move in opposite slides. Flexible metal strips are further provided between the inner wall of the curtain and the horizontal bars, said strips extending in the curtain circulation direction. The bars are not in direct contact with the curtain, but are fixed on the metal ribbons.

Une telle structure est complexe, et la rigidification conférée par les barrettes horizontales est limitée.Such a structure is complex, and the stiffening conferred by the horizontal bars is limited.

L'état de la technique est également illustré par le document DE-802 528 C , qui décrit un rideau coulissant analogue à paroi flexible en contreplaqué avec des barrettes horizontales de rigidification fixées contre la face interne de la paroi flexible. Les barrettes ne s'étendent cependant pas jusqu'aux bords latéraux de la paroi flexible, car il est prévu que seule la tranche de ladite paroi circule dans une glissière, la largeur de ladite glissière étant alors juste supérieure à l'épaisseur de la paroi flexible.The state of the art is also illustrated by the document DE-802,528 ° C , which describes a similar sliding curtain with a flexible plywood wall with horizontal stiffening bars fixed against the inner face of the flexible wall. However, the bars do not extend to the side edges of the flexible wall, since it is expected that only the edge of said wall circulates in a slide, the width of said slide then being just greater than the thickness of the wall flexible.

Les bords latéraux du rideau coulissant ne peuvent donc être rigidifiés, de sorte qu'il en résulte une certaine fragilité.The lateral edges of the sliding curtain can not be stiffened, so that a certain fragility results.

On pourra se référer aux documents plus récents EP 1 275 812 A1 et EP 1 426 547 A1 de la demanderesse, qui décrivent une armoire de rangement du type précité, dans laquelle le ou chaque rideau de fermeture est agencé respectivement verticalement ou horizontalement.We can refer to more recent documents EP 1 275 812 A1 and EP 1 426 547 A1 of the applicant, which describe a storage cabinet of the aforementioned type, wherein the or each closure curtain is arranged respectively vertically or horizontally.

L'invention s'intéresse tout particulièrement à la structure du rideau déformable de fermeture.The invention is particularly interested in the structure of the deformable closure curtain.

Dans les documents précités, le rideau déformable est de type articulé ou à lames. On utilise par exemple des profilés extrudés à section de forme ovoïde en polychlorure de vinyle, ces profilés étant réunis par un ligament co-extrudé fournissant l'articulation désirée entre deux profilés adjacents.In the aforementioned documents, the deformable curtain is articulated or leaf type. For example, extruded sections of ovoid section made of polyvinyl chloride are used, these sections being joined by a co-extruded ligament providing the desired articulation between two adjacent sections.

On connaît également des structures de rideaux déformables, dans lesquelles on utilise des profilés présentant latéralement un agencement mâle/femelle d'encastrement. Dans ce cas, on dispose un joint souple qui est encastré entre deux lames adjacentes, ou encore les lames adjacentes sont directement encastrées l'une avec l'autre à la façon de deux pièces de puzzle, sans matière souple intercalaire, pour une articulation naturelle.Deformable curtain structures are also known, in which profiles having laterally a male / female recessing arrangement are used. In this case, there is a flexible seal which is embedded between two adjacent blades, or the adjacent blades are directly embedded with each other in the manner of two puzzle pieces, without intercalated flexible material, for a natural joint .

On connaît également des rideaux extrudés ou injectés de façon monobloc, avec des nervures en surépaisseur visant à augmenter leur rigidité. Cependant, cette technique est limitée aux rideaux de très faible hauteur, notamment de hauteur inférieure à 20 cm, du fait de la tendance à la flexion d'un tel rideau.Extruded or monoblock-injected curtains are also known, with ribs in excess thickness to increase their rigidity. However, this technique is limited to curtains of very low height, especially less than 20 cm high, because of the tendency to bend such a curtain.

On connaît également des techniques utilisant des lames réalisées par injection de matière plastique dans un moule, ces lames étant éventuellement réunies entre elles par des ligaments de liaison souple, formant ainsi un treillis sur lequel on injecte ensuite de la matière souple formant la paroi du rideau.Techniques are also known that use blades made by injecting plastic material into a mold, these blades possibly being united between they by flexible ligaments, thus forming a lattice on which is then injected flexible material forming the wall of the curtain.

Toutes ces techniques sont plus ou moins complexes à mettre en oeuvre, et ne sont pas très satisfaisantes sur le plan de l'esthétique, les rideaux étant presque toujours opaques, afin de ne pas mettre en évidence le joint sombre éventuellement utilisé. De plus, les rideaux déformables précités présentent une souplesse à la fois en largeur et en hauteur, ce qui est défavorable sur le plan du comportement en torsion du rideau. Par suite, la souplesse inhérente de tels rideaux limite considérablement les possibilités dimensionnelles envisageables. Enfin, les rideaux d'armoire utilisant des profils extrudés ont un coût de revient élevé du fait de l'utilisation de machines onéreuses d'extrusion.All these techniques are more or less complex to implement, and are not very satisfactory in terms of aesthetics, the curtains are almost always opaque, so as not to highlight the dark seal possibly used. In addition, the aforementioned deformable curtains have a flexibility in both width and height, which is unfavorable in terms of torsional behavior of the curtain. As a result, the inherent flexibility of such curtains considerably limits the dimensional possibilities that can be envisaged. Finally, cabinet curtains using extruded profiles have a high cost price due to the use of expensive extrusion machines.

On a également proposé de co-extruder une nappe et des barrettes de rigidification, mais on se heurte alors à des problèmes de compatibilité de matières, et on est aussi très limité au niveau des géométries possibles. En particulier, le bord libre, par exemple inférieur, d'un rideau déformable vertical présente une géométrie qui n'est pas favorable sur le plan du guidage dans la glissière inférieure de l'armoire de rangement, en particulier dans le cas où cette glissière présente des tronçons incurvés aux angles droits.It has also been proposed to co-extrude a web and stiffening webs, but then there are problems of compatibility of materials, and is also very limited in terms of possible geometries. In particular, the free edge, for example lower, of a vertical deformable curtain has a geometry that is not favorable in terms of guiding in the lower slide of the storage cabinet, particularly in the case where this slide has curved sections at right angles.

OBJET DE L'INVENTIONOBJECT OF THE INVENTION

L'invention a pour objet de concevoir une armoire de rangement du type précité, dont le ou chaque rideau a une structure ne présentant pas les inconvénients mentionnés plus haut en termes de limitations dues à la souplesse et à la technologie utilisée, tout en permettant une adaptation optimale à différents types d'armoires de rangement, avec au moins un rideau de fermeture déformable qui peut être agencé aussi bien verticalement qu'horizontalement.The invention aims to design a storage cabinet of the aforementioned type, the or each curtain has a structure does not have the disadvantages mentioned above in terms of limitations due to the flexibility and technology used, while allowing a optimal adaptation to different types of storage cabinets, with at least one deformable closure curtain which can be arranged vertically as well as horizontally.

DEFINITION GENERALE DE L'INVENTIONGENERAL DEFINITION OF THE INVENTION

Le problème technique précité est résolu conformément à l'invention grâce à une armoire de rangement, du type comportant au moins un rideau déformable de fermeture coulissant dans deux glissières agencées dans des parties opposées de l'armoire, dans laquelle le ou chaque rideau comporte une paroi unitaire flexible dont une face est lisse et la face opposée présente un nervurage de rigidification, ledit nervurage étant constitué par une pluralité de barrettes essentiellement rigides dont les extrémités libres sont reçues dans les glissières de l'armoire en étant conformées pour assurer le guidage dudit rideau dans lesdites glissières, chacune desdites barrettes étant maintenue en contact continu avec ladite face opposée de la paroi unitaire flexible sur toute la dimension de celle-ci, et l'une au moins des extrémités libres de chaque barrette dépasse du bord adjacent de la paroi unitaire flexible d'une certaine distance, qui est au plus égale à la profondeur de la glissière, de sorte que ledit bord adjacent reste encore à l'intérieur de la glissière concernée quelle que soit la position du rideau de fermeture dans l'armoire.The aforementioned technical problem is solved according to the invention with a storage cabinet, of the type comprising at least one deformable curtain sliding closure in two rails arranged in opposite parts of the cabinet, wherein the or each curtain comprises a flexible unitary wall, one face is smooth and the opposite face has a stiffening rib, said rib being constituted by a plurality of substantially rigid webs whose free ends are received in the rails of the cabinet being shaped to provide guidance of said curtain in said slides, each of said bars being kept in continuous contact with said opposite face of the flexible unit wall over the entire dimension thereof, and at least one of the free ends of each bar protrudes from the adjacent edge of the wall unitary flexible a certain distance, which is at most equal to the deep ur of the slide, so that said adjacent edge still remains inside the slide concerned regardless of the position of the closing curtain in the cabinet.

Pour une armoire de rangement dans laquelle les glissières ont une forme de U avec un fond et deux ailes parallèles, il pourra être prévu que les extrémités libres en saillie de chaque barrette présentent une forme de dièdre en V, dont les tranches sont au contact des deux ailes parallèles des glissières et dont les bords libres sont au contact du fond desdites glissières, ou en variante en forme de cylindre plat dont la face latérale est au contact des deux ailes parallèles des glissières et dont la face d'extrémité libre est au contact du fond desdites glissières.For a storage cabinet in which the slides have a U-shape with a bottom and two parallel wings, it may be provided that the projecting free ends of each bar have a V-shaped dihedral, whose slices are in contact with the two parallel wings slides and whose free edges are in contact with the bottom of said slides, or alternatively in the form of a flat cylinder whose side face is in contact with the two parallel wings of the slides and whose free end face is in contact from the bottom of said slides.

Avantageusement encore, lorsqu'il s'agit d'une armoire de rangement dans laquelle les glissières présentent un tronçon incurvé, il sera prévu que les barrettes sont espacées entre elles d'un intervalle qui est choisi de telle façon qu'il y ait toujours au moins trois barrettes pour la partie du rideau de fermeture passant dans le tronçon incurvé des glissières.Advantageously, when it is a storage cabinet in which the slides have a curved section, it will be expected that the bars are spaced apart from each other by an interval which is chosen in such a way that there is always at least three bars for the part of the curtain closing in the curved section of the slides.

On pourra par ailleurs prévoir que les barrettes sont fixées contre ladite face opposée de la paroi unitaire flexible par un système de clipage, en particulier au moyen de tétons en saillie desdites barrettes et de trous homologues traversant ladite paroi unitaire flexible.It may also be provided that the bars are fixed against said opposite face of the flexible unit wall by a clipping system, in particular by means of pins projecting from said bars and homologous holes passing through said flexible unit wall.

Cependant, une technique préférée pour sa souplesse et son coût de fabrication consiste à prévoir que les barrettes sont fixées contre ladite face opposée de la paroi unitaire flexible par surinjection de matière plastique directement sur ladite paroi qui est elle-même réalisée par injection de matière plastique, par exemple une matière translucide. En particulier, la matière plastique utilisée pour constituer les barrettes est différente de la matière plastique utilisée pour constituer la paroi unitaire flexible, la première étant choisie pour privilégier la rigidité et la seconde pour privilégier la souplesse.However, a preferred technique for its flexibility and its cost of manufacture consists in providing that the bars are fixed against said opposite face of the flexible unit wall by overinjection of plastic directly on said wall which is itself made by plastic injection. for example a translucent material. In particular, the plastic material used to form the strips is different from the plastic material used to form the flexible unit wall, the first being chosen to favor stiffness and the second to favor flexibility.

De préférence, les barrettes ont une section transversale de forme rectangulaire, et sont au contact de ladite face opposée de la paroi unitaire flexible par leur tranche.Preferably, the bars have a cross section of rectangular shape, and are in contact with said opposite face of the flexible unit wall by their edge.

D'une façon générale, il sera avantageux de prévoir que la face lisse du rideau de fermeture est la face extérieure dudit rideau, la face opposée équipée des barrettes étant la face intérieure dudit rideau.In general, it will be advantageous to provide that the smooth face of the closing curtain is the outer face of said curtain, the opposite face equipped with the bars being the inner face of said curtain.

Par ailleurs, dans le cas d'un rideau de fermeture agencé verticalement, il sera prévu que les extrémités libres des barrettes sont reçues dans des glissières superposées, le guidage latéral étant au moins assuré dans la glissière inférieure.Moreover, in the case of a closing curtain arranged vertically, it will be provided that the ends Free bars are received in superimposed slides, the lateral guidance being at least provided in the lower slide.

En variante, dans le cas d'un rideau de fermeture agencé horizontalement, les extrémités libres des barrettes sont reçues dans les glissières latérales se faisant face.Alternatively, in the case of a horizontally arranged closure curtain, the free ends of the bars are received in the side rails facing each other.

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages et de l'invention apparaîtront plus clairement à la lumière de la description qui va suivre et des dessins annexés.Other features and advantages and of the invention will appear more clearly in the light of the description which follows and the accompanying drawings.

On a illustré ici une armoire de rangement 10 du type comportant deux rideaux de fermeture déformables 20, dont les deux bords respectifs 20.1 viennent au contact l'un de l'autre en position de fermeture des rideaux. Sur la figure 1, la position illustrée correspond à une ouverture partielle de chacun des deux rideaux 20. De façon classique, il est prévu, au voisinage de chaque panneau latéral de l'armoire 14, 15, un panneau de doublage 19 délimitant avec le panneau latéral adjacent un caisson dans lequel se déplace la partie arrière de chaque rideau déformable lors du coulissement de celui-ci dans le sens de l'ouverture, pour son effacement intégré dans la structure générale de l'armoire. Ceci permet d'éviter tout risque d'accrochage des parties internes du rideau, lors du déplacement de celui-ci, avec les objets contenus dans l'armoire.There is illustrated here a storage cabinet 10 of the type comprising two deformable closure curtains 20, the two respective edges 20.1 come into contact with one another in the closed position of the curtains. On the figure 1 , the illustrated position corresponds to a partial opening of each of the two curtains 20. Conventionally, there is provided, in the vicinity of each side panel of the cabinet 14, 15, a doubling panel 19 delimiting with the adjacent side panel a box in which moves the rear part of each curtain deformable when sliding thereof in the direction of the opening for erasure integrated into the general structure of the cabinet. This avoids any risk of attachment of the internal parts of the curtain, when moving it, with the objects in the cabinet.

Il va de soi bien entendu que l'invention n'est aucunement limitée à ce type d'armoire, et qu'il pourra aussi bien être question d'une armoire à rideau déformable de fermeture unique, ou d'une armoire dans laquelle le rideau de fermeture est agencé horizontalement, ou encore de tout autre meuble, casier ou boîte de rangement à rideau(x) déformable(s) de fermeture.It goes without saying of course that the invention is in no way limited to this type of cabinet, and that it may as well be a question of a deformable curtain cabinet single closure, or a cabinet in which the closure curtain is arranged horizontally, or any other piece of furniture, locker or storage box curtain (x) deformable (s) closing.

En l'espèce, chaque rideau comporte un bord respectif 20.1 dans lequel est intégré un mécanisme de fermeture avec des organes notés 21, 22. Les deux rideaux déformables 20 sont guidés par leurs extrémités haute et basse dans des glissières superposées associées qui sont notées 25. Les glissières superposées 25 sont agencées respectivement dans les parties haute et basse de l'armoire 10. En l'espèce, chaque glissière 25 comporte une échancrure 26 débouchant en face avant de l'armoire, ces deux échancrures 26 étant disposées à l'aplomb l'une de l'autre et étant dimensionnées pour permettre la mise en place du rideau déformable 20 par l'avant de l'armoire lors du montage initial de ladite armoire.In the present case, each curtain has a respective edge 20.1 in which is integrated a closing mechanism with members denoted 21, 22. The two deformable curtains 20 are guided by their upper and lower ends in associated superimposed slides which are noted 25 The superposed slides 25 are respectively arranged in the upper and lower parts of the cabinet 10. In this case, each slide 25 has a notch 26 opening on the front face of the cabinet, these two notches 26 being arranged at the plumb with each other and being sized to allow the introduction of the deformable curtain 20 from the front of the cabinet during the initial assembly of said cabinet.

Dans le cas d'une armoire dans laquelle le ou chaque rideau de fermeture 20 est agencé horizontalement, les bords latéraux du rideau de fermeture sont reçus dans des glissières 25 se faisant face, agencées latéralement dans l'armoire de rangement.In the case of a cabinet in which the or each closure curtain 20 is arranged horizontally, the side edges of the closure curtain are received in facing rails arranged laterally in the storage cabinet.

On va maintenant décrire plus en détail la structure particulière de l'un des rideaux déformables de fermeture 20 agencé pour coulisser dans les deux glissières 25 qui sont agencées dans des parties opposées de l'armoire.We will now describe in more detail the particular structure of one of the deformable closing curtains 20 arranged to slide in the two rails 25 which are arranged in opposite parts of the cabinet.

Comme cela est visible sur la figure 2, le rideau 20 comporte une paroi unitaire flexible 50, dont une face 51 est lisse et dont la face opposée 52 présente un nervurage de rigidification 60. En l'espèce, la face visible sur la figure 2 est la face 52, qui sera en général la face intérieure du rideau de fermeture 20, la face extérieure 51 dudit rideau étant quant à elle une face lisse.As is visible on the figure 2 , the curtain 20 comprises a flexible unit wall 50, one face 51 is smooth and whose opposite face 52 has a stiffening rib 60. In this case, the visible face on the figure 2 is the face 52, which will generally be the inner face of the closing curtain 20, the outer face 51 of said curtain being a smooth face.

Le nervurage de rigidification 60 est constitué par une pluralité de barrettes 61 essentiellement rigides s'étendant parallèlement les unes aux autres. En l'espèce, s'agissant d'un rideau de fermeture vertical, les barrettes 61 sont agencées verticalement. Les extrémités libres 70 des barrettes 61 dépassent du bord adjacent associé 53 de la paroi unitaire flexible 50, et sont reçues dans les glissières 25 de l'armoire, en étant conformées pour assurer le guidage du rideau dans lesdites glissières, chacune desdites barrettes étant maintenue en contact continu avec la face concernée 52 de la paroi unitaire flexible 50 sur toute la dimension de celle-ci.The stiffening rib 60 is constituted by a plurality of substantially rigid webs 61 extending parallel to each other. In this case, being a vertical closing curtain, the bars 61 are arranged vertically. The free ends 70 of the bars 61 protrude from the associated adjacent edge 53 of the flexible unit wall 50, and are received in the rails 25 of the cabinet, being shaped to ensure the guiding of the curtain in said slides, each of said bars being maintained in continuous contact with the relevant face 52 of the flexible unit wall 50 over the entire dimension thereof.

Ainsi, on réalise une liaison parfaitement continue sur toute la hauteur de contact avec la paroi unitaire 50, ce qui procure une résistance optimale à la flexion pour le rideau de fermeture, dont la hauteur pourra dès lors couramment atteindre un à deux mètres.Thus, a perfectly continuous connection is made over the entire height of contact with the unit wall 50, which provides an optimal flexural strength for the closing curtain, whose height can therefore currently reach one to two meters.

La liaison intime entre les barrettes 61 et la face de la paroi unitaire flexible 50 pourra être réalisée au moyen de technologies différentes.The intimate connection between the bars 61 and the face of the flexible unit wall 50 can be achieved by means of different technologies.

Sur la figure 5, on a illustré une technologie mettant en oeuvre un système de clipage 80, avec des tétons 81 ménagés en saillie des barrettes 61, et des trous homologues 82 traversant la paroi unitaire flexible 50.On the figure 5 , a technology using a clipping system 80 has been illustrated, with pins 81 protruding from the bars 61, and homologous holes 82 passing through the flexible unit wall 50.

Cependant, pour éviter la fabrication séparée de la paroi unitaire flexible 50 avec la réalisation des trous de passage, et des barrettes 61 avec la réalisation des tétons de fixation en saillie, et pour éviter la nécessité de mettre en oeuvre une étape de liaison des deux composants, il apparaît beaucoup plus séduisant d'utiliser une technique d'injection de matière plastique.However, to avoid the separate manufacture of the flexible unit wall 50 with the realization of the passage holes, and the bars 61 with the realization of the projecting fixing studs, and to avoid the need to implement a step of connecting the two components, it is much more attractive to use a plastic injection technique.

Ainsi, et conformément à une autre caractéristique de l'invention, les barrettes 61 sont fixées contre ladite face opposée 52 de la paroi unitaire flexible 50 par surinjection de matière plastique directement sur ladite paroi, qui est elle-même réalisée par injection de matière plastique. Dans la pratique, on procèdera d'abord à la réalisation d'une nappe souple par injection d'une première matière, puis, quand la matière est encore chaude, on procédera à une nouvelle injection de matière plastique, identique à ou différente de la précédente, pour former les barrettes parallèles avec leurs extrémités qui peuvent être conformées de manière particulière, et dépasser du bord libre de la nappe souple. Dans ce cas, la liaison entre les barrettes parallèles et la paroi flexible unitaire est réalisée automatiquement par collage à chaud lors de la surinjection desdites barrettes.Thus, and according to another characteristic of the invention, the bars 61 are fixed against said opposite face 52 of the flexible unit wall 50 by overinjection of plastic directly on said wall, which is itself produced by plastic injection. In practice, it will first proceed to the production of a flexible sheet by injection of a first material, then, when the material is still hot, we will proceed to a new injection of plastic, identical to or different from the previous, to form the parallel bars with their ends which can be shaped in a particular way, and to exceed the free edge of the flexible web. In this case, the connection between the parallel bars and the unitary flexible wall is performed automatically by hot gluing when overinjection of said bars.

On pourra prévoir que la matière plastique utilisée pour constituer les barrettes 61 est différente de la matière plastique utilisée pour constituer la paroi unitaire flexible 50, la première étant choisie pour privilégier la rigidité et la seconde pour privilégier la souplesse. Il est à noter que l'utilisation de deux matières différentes est ici rendue possible par la technique de surinjection, sans présenter les inconvénients des techniques de co-extrusion précitées avec les inconvénients qui leur sont propres comme indiqué plus haut.It can be provided that the plastic material used to form the strips 61 is different from the plastic used to form the flexible unit wall 50, the first being chosen to favor stiffness and the second to favor the flexibility. It should be noted that the use of two different materials is here made possible by the surinjection technique, without the disadvantages of the aforementioned coextrusion techniques with the disadvantages of their own as indicated above.

Il est ainsi prévu que l'une au moins des extrémités libres 70 de chaque barrette 61 dépasse du bord adjacent 53 de la paroi unitaire flexible 50 d'une certaine distance d (notée sur la figure 2), qui est au plus égale à la profondeur notée h de la glissière concernée 25, ledit bord adjacent restant de ce fait encore à l'intérieur de la glissière 25, avec un éventuel léger rebordement et sans faire apparaître un jour qui nuirait à l'esthétique, et ce quelle que soit la position du rideau de fermeture dans l'armoire, comme cela est visible sur la figure 3.It is thus expected that at least one of the free ends 70 of each bar 61 protrudes from the adjacent edge 53 of the flexible unit wall 50 by a certain distance d (noted on the figure 2 ), which is at most equal to the depth denoted h of the slide concerned 25, said adjacent edge still remaining inside the slide 25, with a slight slight ridge and without revealing a day that would harm the aesthetic, regardless of the position of the closing curtain in the cabinet, as can be seen on the figure 3 .

Sur la figure 3, on a représenté un mode d'exécution particulier qui est préféré pour la conformation des extrémités saillantes 70 des barrettes 61.On the figure 3 a particular embodiment is shown which is preferred for shaping the projecting ends 70 of the webs 61.

On constate ainsi que les extrémités libres en saillie 70 de chaque barrette 61 présentent une forme de dièdre en V, dont les tranches 71 sont au contact des deux ailes parallèles 25.2 des glissières 25, et dont les bords libres en saillie 72 sont au contact du fond 25.1 desdites glissières.It can thus be seen that the projecting free ends 70 of each bar 61 have a V-shaped dihedral shape, the slices 71 of which are in contact with the two parallel wings 25.2 of the slideways 25, and whose free projecting edges 72 are in contact with the bottom 25.1 of said slides.

Un tel agencement est particulièrement avantageux, et permet de diminuer considérablement les surfaces de frottement contre les parois de la glissière. En effet, la surface latérale de frottement correspondant aux tranches 71 est minimale, et la surface d'appui constituée par les bords libres 72 est suffisante.Such an arrangement is particularly advantageous, and allows to considerably reduce the friction surfaces against the walls of the slide. Indeed, the lateral friction surface corresponding to the slices 71 is minimal, and the bearing surface formed by the free edges 72 is sufficient.

Sur la figure 4, on a illustré une variante dans laquelle les extrémités libres en saillie 70' de chaque barrette 61 présentent une forme de cylindre plat, dont la face latérale 71' est au contact des deux ailes parallèles 25.2 des glissières 25 et dont la face d'extrémité libre 72', éventuellement légèrement bombée, est au contact du fond 25.1 desdites glissières.On the figure 4 a variant is illustrated in which the projecting free ends 70 'of each bar 61 have a flat cylinder shape whose lateral face 71' is in contact with the two parallel wings 25.2 of the slideways 25 and whose end face free 72 ', possibly slightly curved, is in contact with the bottom 25.1 said slides.

Avec la forme en dièdre de la figure 3, on prévilégie plutôt l'obtention d'une surface minimale de frottement contre les ailes latérales des glissières, alors qu'avec la forme en cylindre plat et bombé de la figure 4, on privilégie en plus l'obtention d'une surface minimale de frottement contre le fond des glissières.With the dihedral shape of the figure 3 it is preferred to obtain a minimum friction surface against the lateral wings of the slideways, whereas with the flat and curved cylinder shape of the figure 4 , it is also preferred to obtain a minimum friction surface against the bottom of the slides.

Dans le cas d'un rideau déformable agencé verticalement, le guidage latéral du rideau est surtout important pour la glissière 25 inférieure, et on pourra alors prévoir l'agencement d'une figure 3. Par contre, pour la glissière supérieure, un maintien latéral sommaire apparaît suffisant, et on pourra se contenter d'extrémités de forme ordinaire. Cependant, pour rationaliser la fabrication à une échelle industrielle, il sera préférable de prévoir des extrémités 70 identiques aux deux bords d'extrémité du rideau déformable 20.In the case of a deformable curtain arranged vertically, the lateral guidance of the curtain is especially important for the lower slide, and we can then provide the arrangement of a figure 3 . On the other hand, for the upper slide, a rough lateral support appears sufficient, and one will be able to be satisfied with ends of ordinary form. However, to streamline manufacturing on an industrial scale, it will be preferable to provide ends 70 identical to the two end edges of the deformable curtain 20.

Les barrettes 61 seront espacées entre elles d'un intervalle e (noté sur la figure 2) qui est de préférence choisi de telle façon qu'il y ait toujours au moins trois barrettes 61 pour la partie du rideau de fermeture 20 passant dans le tronçon incurvé des glissières 25, dans le cas de glissières présentant comme ici un virage d'angle droit. On est alors assuré d'un bon guidage sans coincement pour le passage du tronçon incurvé.The bars 61 will be spaced apart by an interval e (noted on the figure 2 ) which is preferably chosen such that there is always at least three bars 61 for the part of the closing curtain 20 passing in the curved section of the rails 25, in the case of slides having as here a corner bend law. We are then assured of a good guidance without jamming for the passage of the curved section.

On est ainsi parvenu à réaliser un rideau déformable de fermeture qui présente à la fois les qualités requises de souplesse pour la flexion dans son plan, et les qualités requises de rigidité garantissant un maintien de la direction principale verticale ou horizontale du rideau, cette direction étant celle des barrettes parallèles de rigidification.It has thus been possible to produce a deformable closure curtain which exhibits both the required flexibility qualities for bending in its plane, and the required qualities of rigidity guaranteeing a maintenance of the main vertical or horizontal direction of the curtain, this direction being that of the parallel bars of stiffening.

Par ailleurs, on pourra utiliser une matière plastique translucide pour réaliser par injection la paroi unitaire flexible 50, ce qui confère un aspect esthétique avantageux en laissant apercevoir les barrettes parallèles de rigidification.Furthermore, a translucent plastic material can be used to inject the flexible unit wall 50, which gives an advantageous aesthetic appearance by allowing the parallel stiffening bars to be seen.

On pourra naturellement utiliser tous types de matières plastiques convenant à la technologie utilisée, avec par exemple du polypropylène ou du polystyrène pour les techniques à surinjection.Naturally, it will be possible to use all types of plastics that are suitable for the technology used, for example with polypropylene or polystyrene for over injection techniques.

L'invention n'est pas limitée aux modes de réalisation qui viennent d'être décrits, mais englobe au contraire toute variante reprenant, avec des moyens équivalents, les caractéristiques essentielles énoncées plus haut.The invention is not limited to the embodiments that have just been described, but on the contrary covers any variant using, with equivalent means, the essential characteristics mentioned above.
