Description

La présente invention est relative à un dispositif d'assemblage pour volet roulant, destiné à protéger un ouvrant, notamment une fenêtre, une porte ou une porte-fenêtre. Elle trouvera son application chez les fabricants de volets roulants, et sera mise en oeuvre sur tous types d'habitation ou de locaux nécessitant une protection des ouvrants, notamment contre les intempéries, les effractions.The present invention relates to an assembly device for roller shutter, intended to protect an opening, including a window, a door or a French window. It will find its application among manufacturers of roller shutters, and will be implemented on all types of housing or premises requiring protection of the doors, including against weather, break-ins.

Les volets roulants se composent généralement d'un ensemble de lames articulées constituant un tablier qui est enroulé sur un tambour actionné en rotation ; la rotation du tambour permet soit le déploiement du tablier et ainsi la fermeture de l'ouvrant, soit le repliement de celui-ci et ainsi l'ouverture de l'ouvrant. Les lames du tablier sont guidées dans des coulisses disposées verticalement de part et d'autre des parois latérales du dormant, ces coulisses assurant le maintien des extrémités latérales du tablier en position déployée.Roller shutters generally consist of a set of hinged blades constituting an apron which is wound on a drum rotated; the rotation of the drum allows either the deployment of the deck and thus the closure of the opening, or the folding of it and thus the opening of the opening. The blades of the deck are guided in slides arranged vertically on either side of the side walls of the frame, these slides ensuring the maintenance of the lateral ends of the deck in the deployed position.

Ces volets roulants se composent, notamment en mode de réhabilitation, d'un coffre dont les extrémités sont munies chacune d'un dispositif d'assemblage sur les coulisses, ce dispositif d'assemblage comprenant notamment une joue montée à l'extrémité du coffre. Cette joue est solidaire d'une patte de guidage permettant son verrouillage, et par conséquent celle du coffre, sur l'extrémité supérieure de la coulisse.These roller shutters are composed, especially in the rehabilitation mode, a chest whose ends are each provided with an assembly device on the slides, this assembly device including a cheek mounted at the end of the trunk. This cheek is secured to a guide lug for locking, and therefore that of the trunk on the upper end of the slide.

De manière connue, les volets roulants comprennent généralement des guides lames disposés aux extrémités supérieures des coulisses pour assurer le guidage des lames du tablier lors de leur insertion dans les coulisses durant le déploiement du volet. Ces guides lames peuvent être soit séparés de la joue et agencés directement à l'extrémité supérieure de la coulisse, soit solidaires de la joue.In known manner, the roller shutters generally comprise blade guides disposed at the upper ends of the slides for guiding the blades of the deck during their insertion in the wings during the deployment of the flap. These blade guides can be either separated from the cheek and arranged directly at the upper end of the slide, or integral with the cheek.

On connaît la demande de brevet FR-2.708.033 relative à un volet roulant comportant un coffre équipé à chacune de ses extrémités d'une joue qui se compose d'un corps. L'assemblage du coffre sur les coulisses est assuré par des pattes d'assemblage agencées au niveau de chaque joue. Ces pattes d'assemblage sont rétractiles pour limiter l'encombrement lors du conditionnement du produit. Des moyens pour immobiliser et verrouiller les pattes sur les joues sont constitués d'une rainure agencée sur la joue apte à coopérer avec la patte et d'une pièce d'embout de verrouillage assurant la solidarisation de la patte sur la joue avant son introduction et celle de ladite pièce d'embout dans la coulisse pour l'assemblage du coffre, la pièce d'embout faisant éventuellement office de guidage des lames du tablier du volet roulant pour leur introduction et leur guidage dans les coulisses agencées de chaque côté latéral du dormant de l'ouverture.The patent application is known FR-2708033 relating to a shutter comprising a trunk equipped at each end with a cheek which consists of a body. The trunk assembly on the slides is provided by assembly tabs arranged at each cheek. These assembly tabs are retractable to limit the size during the packaging of the product. Means for immobilizing and locking the legs on the cheeks are constituted a groove arranged on the cheek adapted to cooperate with the tab and a locking tip piece ensuring the fastening of the tab on the cheek before its introduction and that of said piece of tip in the slide for the assembly of the trunk, the end piece possibly acting as guiding blades of the apron of the roller shutter for their introduction and guidance in the slides arranged on each lateral side of the frame of the opening.

Cette conception nécessite la mise en place préalable des pattes sur les joues en position extraite, faisant saillie en partie inférieure du coffre, pour assurer leur maintien sur ledit coffre lors de leur positionnement sur les coulisses. Il convient donc de disposer d'un espace sous le linteau de dormant pour permettre l'assemblage.This design requires the prior establishment of the legs on the cheeks in the extracted position, protruding from the lower part of the trunk, to ensure their maintenance on said trunk during their positioning on the slides. It is therefore necessary to have a space under the lintel of the frame to allow assembly.

On connaît également la demande de brevet FR-2.867.222 qui décrit un volet roulant comprenant un coffre équipé à chacune de ses extrémités d'une joue et de moyens d'assemblage escamotables assurant le montage du coffre sur les coulisses. Ces moyens d'assemblage escamotables sont notamment constitués d'une patte d'assemblage rétractable qui coopère avec des moyens de guidage et de verrouillage constitués par un plot. Le plot et la patte sont intégrés dans la joue et se déploient suivant un double coulissement. Ce double coulissement permet en particulier de déployer, dans un premier temps, la patte d'assemblage puis, dans un second temps, le plot monté en translation sur la joue au moyen d'une glissière, le déploiement du plot se faisant lorsque la patte est en butée sur celui-ci. Ces moyens de guidage et de verrouillage limitent les jeux de positionnement de la joue à l'extrémité de la coulisse, et permettent de faciliter l'assemblage du coffre sur les coulisses lorsque l'espace disponible sous le linteau de l'ouvrant est réduit voire se limite à l'encombrement du coffre de volet roulant ; les pattes de guidage et de verrouillage sont déployées lorsque le coffre est positionné au dessus des coulisses.The patent application is also known FR-2867222 which describes a roller shutter comprising a trunk equipped at each of its ends with a cheek and retractable assembly means for mounting the trunk on the slides. These retractable assembly means consist in particular of a retractable assembly lug which cooperates with guiding and locking means constituted by a stud. The stud and the leg are integrated in the cheek and unfold in a double sliding. This double sliding makes it possible in particular to deploy, at first, the assembly lug and, in a second step, the stud mounted in translation on the cheek by means of a slide, the deployment of the lug being done when the lug is in abutment on this one. These guiding and locking means limit the positioning play of the cheek at the end of the slide, and make it possible to facilitate the assembly of the trunk on the slides when the space available under the lintel of the sash is reduced even is limited to the size of the rolling shutter box; the guide and locking tabs are deployed when the trunk is positioned above the slides.

Lorsque le volet roulant est actionné, les lames du tablier se déroulent ou s'enroulent autour d'un tambour actionné soit manuellement, soit au moyen d'un moteur ; la manoeuvre du tambour génère un couple qui est transmis aux joues, solidaires de ses extrémités, sur le coffre du volet roulant, ce couple étant ainsi reporté sur les pattes de guidage disposées dans les coulisses. Les pattes de fixation et les plots ont tendance à fléchir sous l'action de ce couple ; le coffre, maintenu sur les coulisses par les plots de guidage et de verrouillage, tend alors à basculer ou pivoter par rapport aux coulisses.When the rolling shutter is actuated, the apron blades unwind or wrap around a drum operated either manually or by means of a motor; the maneuvering of the drum generates a torque which is transmitted to the cheeks, integral with its ends, on the trunk of the roller shutter, this torque being thus transferred to the guide lugs arranged in the wings. The legs of fixation and the pads tend to flex under the action of this couple; the trunk, held on the slides by the guide pins and locking, then tends to tilt or pivot relative to the slides.

Par ailleurs, sur les dispositifs d'assemblage tels que ceux décrits dans les documents FR-2.708.033 et FR-2.867.222 ou similaires, il est connu de prévoir des moyens de maintien de la patte d'assemblage en position rétractée à l'intérieur de la joue. Ces moyens sont généralement mis en oeuvre par un « crevé » ou orifice agencé sur la patte pour recevoir une partie saillie ou un clip souple agencé sur la face interne de la joue. Ces moyens peuvent être inversés sur la patte ou la joue.Moreover, on assembly devices such as those described in the documents FR-2708033 and FR-2867222 or the like, it is known to provide means for holding the assembly lug in the retracted position inside the cheek. These means are generally implemented by a "puncture" or orifice arranged on the tab to receive a projecting portion or a flexible clip arranged on the inner face of the cheek. These means can be reversed on the leg or the cheek.

Cette joue est pour cela généralement conçue en matériau plastique pour assurer sa déformation, et permettre l'introduction ou l'extraction de la patte.This cheek is for this purpose generally made of plastic material to ensure its deformation, and allow the introduction or extraction of the leg.

Un objet de la présente invention est de mettre en oeuvre un dispositif d'assemblage de volet roulant sur les coulisses qui utilise des moyens d'assemblage et de verrouillage escamotables agencés pour permettre sa mise en oeuvre sur des joues métalliques, notamment en aluminium. Par ailleurs, la conception de la joue, et notamment celle du moule permettant sa fabrication, s'en trouvent avantageusement simplifiées.An object of the present invention is to implement a shutter assembly device on the slides which uses retractable assembly and locking means arranged to allow its implementation on metal cheeks, including aluminum. Moreover, the design of the cheek, and in particular that of the mold for its manufacture, are advantageously simplified.

Un autre objet de la présente invention est de mettre en oeuvre un nouveau mode d'assemblage de volet roulant sur les coulisses, utilisant des moyens de guidage et de verrouillage escamotables pour l'assemblage de la joue sur la coulisse afin de faciliter le positionnement du coffre de volet roulant au dessus des coulisses, ledit dispositif ayant pour objet d'offrir une meilleure fixation des joues sur les coulisses et d'éviter le fléchissement des pattes de guidage ainsi que le basculement ou la rotation du coffre lorsque le volet roulant est actionné.Another object of the present invention is to implement a new rolling shutter assembly method on the slides, using retractable guiding and locking means for assembling the cheek on the slide to facilitate the positioning of the slide. roller shutter box above the wings, said device having for object to provide a better attachment of the cheeks on the slides and to prevent the deflection of the guide tabs and the tilting or rotation of the trunk when the roller shutter is actuated .

Ainsi, le dispositif d'assemblage de volet roulant présente les avantages semblables à ceux du dispositif décrit dans les demandes de brevet FR-2.708.033 et FR-2.867.222 , tout en diversifiant son application à celle des joues métalliques, notamment en aluminium et en accroissant la qualité de l'assemblage du coffre de volet roulant sur les coulisses.Thus, the shutter assembly device has the advantages similar to those of the device described in the patent applications. FR-2708033 and FR-2867222 , while diversifying its application to that of metal cheeks, including aluminum and increasing the quality of the assembly of the rolling shutter box on the slides.

La présente invention a également pour avantage de mettre en oeuvre un dispositif d'assemblage simple de conception.The present invention also has the advantage of implementing a simple assembly device design.

A cet effet, la présente invention concerne un dispositif d'assemblage pour volet roulant, agencé pour fixer une extrémité du coffre de volet sur une coulisse. Ce dispositif comprend une joue qui est montée à l'extrémité du coffre, cette joue étant munie d'un fond et d'un contour. Ladite joue est assemblée sur la coulisse au moyen d'une patte de guidage et de verrouillage. Cette patte est escamotable et est guidée en translation par rapport à la joue de manière à être soit rétractée et dégagée de la coulisse lors du positionnement du démontage du coffre, soit déployée et insérée dans la coulisse lors du montage du coffre.For this purpose, the present invention relates to an assembly device for roller shutter, arranged to attach one end of the shutter box on a slide. This device comprises a cheek which is mounted at the end of the box, this cheek being provided with a bottom and an outline. Said cheek is assembled on the slide by means of a guide and locking lug. This tab is retractable and is guided in translation relative to the cheek so as to be retracted and disengaged from the slide when positioning the dismantling of the trunk, or deployed and inserted into the slide during assembly of the trunk.

Le dispositif comprend également un guide lame agencé pour être emboîté à l'extrémité de la coulisse et pour guider un tablier de volet roulant lors de son insertion dans la coulisse.The device also comprises a blade guide arranged to be fitted at the end of the slide and to guide a rolling shutter apron when inserted into the slide.

En outre, des moyens d'assemblage sont agencés entre la joue et le guide lame pour supprimer l'ensemble des degrés de liberté entre ces deux pièces lors de leur assemblage et de l'emboîtement dudit guide lame sur la coulisse.In addition, assembly means are arranged between the cheek and the blade guide to remove all degrees of freedom between these two parts during assembly and the engagement of said blade guide on the slide.

Selon l'invention, la joue comprend une encoche ouverte sur le bord externe du contour et agencée sur son côté inférieur, cette encoche permettant le passage et le positionnement de la patte en appui sur le fond de la joue. Par ailleurs, la joue comprend un plot agencé sur le fond, et la patte comprend une lumière munie d'une extrémité supérieure, cette lumière étant agencée pour recevoir le plot qui maintient coulissant ladite patte sur ladite joue et forme une butée sur laquelle est apte à venir en appui l'extrémité supérieure de la lumière. En outre, le guide lame comprend des moyens de butée contre la patte, ces moyens étant agencés pour maintenir en appui ladite patte sur le fond de la joue lors de l'assemblage du guide lame avec ladite joue.According to the invention, the cheek comprises a notch open on the outer edge of the contour and arranged on its lower side, this notch allowing the passage and the positioning of the leg resting on the bottom of the cheek. Furthermore, the cheek comprises a pad arranged on the bottom, and the tab comprises a light provided with an upper end, this light being arranged to receive the stud which holds said tab on said cheek and forms a stop on which is suitable to come in support of the upper end of the light. In addition, the blade guide comprises stop means against the tab, these means being arranged to maintain said tab on the bottom of the cheek during assembly of the blade guide with said cheek.

Cette conception présente pour avantage de permettre le positionnement de la patte sur la joue sans nécessiter la déformation de la matière de la joue ; ainsi, il est possible d'utiliser aussi bien des joues en matière métallique, et par conséquent rigide, que des joues en matière plastique, déformable. Tandis que les dispositifs d'assemblage selon l'art antérieur décrits ci-dessus nécessitent obligatoirement l'utilisation de joues en matière déformable, notamment en plastique, pour permettre l'introduction de la patte et son maintien en position sur la joue.This design has the advantage of allowing the positioning of the tab on the cheek without requiring the deformation of the material of the cheek; thus, it is possible to use both cheeks made of metal material, and therefore rigid, that plastic cheeks, deformable. While the assembly devices according to the prior art described above necessarily require the use of cheeks deformable material, including plastic, to allow the introduction of the tab and its holding in position on the cheek.

Des moyens de guidage sont agencés sur le fond de la joue pour guider en translation la patte par rapport audit fond de la joue et renforcer l'assemblage de ladite joue sur la coulisse, les moyens de butée du guide lame maintenant en position la patte dans lesdits moyens de guidage.Guiding means are arranged on the bottom of the cheek to guide the tab in translation relative to said bottom of the cheek and strengthen the assembly of said cheek on the slide, the stop means of the blade guide now in position the leg in said guide means.

De manière préférentielle, ces moyens de guidage se composent de deux butées longitudinales formant une glissière pour la patte guidée en appui sur lesdites butées. On assure ainsi une parfaite immobilisation de la joue par rapport à la patte lorsque le tambour est entraîné en rotation.Preferably, these guide means consist of two longitudinal stops forming a slide for the guided leg resting on said stops. This ensures a perfect immobilization of the cheek relative to the tab when the drum is rotated.

En outre, le plot reçoit une rondelle et une vis qui assurent le maintien de la patte en position sur ledit plot. Cela a pour avantage de renforcer l'immobilisation et le maintien en position de la patte en appui sur le fond de la joue.In addition, the stud receives a washer and a screw which maintain the leg in position on said stud. This has the advantage of strengthening the immobilization and maintaining the position of the leg resting on the bottom of the cheek.

Le guide lame comprend une première partie munie des moyens d'assemblage agencés pour monter en liaison glissière ledit guide lame avec la joue suivant une direction perpendiculaire au fond, l'extrémité de cette première partie formant butée sur la patte lors de l'assemblage du guide lame sur la joue.The blade guide comprises a first portion provided with connecting means arranged to mount in sliding connection said blade guide with the cheek in a direction perpendicular to the bottom, the end of this first portion forming a stop on the tab during assembly of the blade guide on the cheek.

Cette première partie comprend en outre des moyens d'emboîtement sur la coulisse, ces moyens d'emboîtement étant aptes à renforcer l'assemblage de la joue sur ladite coulisse.This first part further comprises means for interlocking on the slide, these interlocking means being able to reinforce the assembly of the cheek on said slide.

En outre, le guide lame comprend une seconde partie agencée pour guider le tablier du volet roulant lors de son introduction dans la coulisse, ladite seconde partie comprenant des moyens d'emboîtement sur la coulisse aptes à assurer l'assemblage de la joue sur ladite coulisse.In addition, the blade guide comprises a second portion arranged to guide the rolling shutter apron when it is inserted into the slide, said second portion comprising means for interlocking on the slide adapted to ensure assembly of the cheek on said slide. .

Par ailleurs, le guide lame comprend une aile de guidage apte à être sectionnée pour son adaptation en fonction de la joue sur laquelle il est agencé. Cette aile de guidage sépare physiquement la première partie et la seconde partie.Furthermore, the blade guide comprises a guide wing adapted to be cut for its adaptation according to the cheek on which it is arranged. This guide wing physically separates the first part and the second part.

La première partie du guide lame comprend un plot qui est agencé pour coopérer avec la patte et la maintenir en position déployée ou en position rétractée par rapport à la joue. Ce plot est apte à s'engager dans au moins un orifice agencé sur la patte. En outre, le plot est apte à s'engager dans la lumière pour venir en butée sur l'extrémité inférieure de celle-ci et maintenir la patte en position déployée.The first portion of the blade guide comprises a stud which is arranged to cooperate with the tab and maintain it in the deployed position or in the retracted position relative to the cheek. This stud is adapted to engage in at least one orifice arranged on the leg. In addition, the stud is adapted to engage the light to abut on the lower end thereof and maintain the tab in the deployed position.

Ainsi, le guide lame est apte à coopérer avec la joue pour la réception et le maintien de la patte de guidage, l'assemblage ne nécessitant aucune déformation de la joue pour le positionnement et le maintien de la patte ; il en résulte qu'il est possible d'utiliser aussi bien des joues rigides, notamment en aluminium, que des joues en matière plastique plus souple et déformable.Thus, the blade guide is adapted to cooperate with the cheek for receiving and maintaining the guide tab, the assembly requiring no deformation of the cheek for positioning and maintaining the tab; it follows that it is possible to use both rigid cheeks, especially aluminum, plastic cheeks more flexible and deformable.

Par ailleurs, l'assemblage est réalisé simplement par embriquement ou emboîtement entre les éléments.Furthermore, the assembly is made simply by embriquement or nesting between the elements.

De plus, cette conception permet à la patte de prendre convenablement appui sur la joue, ce qui présente pour avantage de rigidifier l'assemblage des éléments du dispositif par rapport à la coulisse, en s'opposant aux efforts exercés sur lesdits éléments, et ainsi d'empêcher le pivotement de la joue et du coffre lorsque le volet roulant est actionné, ainsi que le fléchissement de la patte de guidage.In addition, this design allows the tab to take proper support on the cheek, which has the advantage of stiffening the assembly of the elements of the device relative to the slide, opposing the forces exerted on said elements, and to prevent pivoting of the cheek and trunk when the shutter is actuated, as well as the deflection of the guide lug.

Le dispositif d'assemblage selon la présente invention s'appuie sur un mode de conception préféré illustré sur des figures parmi lesquelles :

  • la figure 1 représente une vue éclatée des éléments du dispositif d'assemblage de la présente invention ;
  • la figure 2 représente une vue de côté des éléments du dispositif d'assemblage assemblés, la patte de guidage étant en position déployée ;
  • la figure 3 représente une vue de face suivant la figure 2 ;
  • la figure 4 représente le dispositif d'assemblage suivant la figure 3, la patte de guidage étant en position rétractée.
The assembly device according to the present invention is based on a preferred design mode illustrated in figures among which:
  • the figure 1 represents an exploded view of the elements of the assembly device of the present invention;
  • the figure 2 represents a side view of the elements of the assembled assembly device, the guide tab being in the deployed position;
  • the figure 3 represents a front view following the figure 2 ;
  • the figure 4 represents the assembly device following the figure 3 with the guide tab in the retracted position.

Le dispositif d'assemblage 1 pour volet roulant est agencé pour permettre la fixation des coffres du volet roulant sur une coulisse. En effet, le volet roulant se compose d'un tablier formé de lamelles articulées entre elles, ledit tablier étant enroulé sur un tambour, les éléments étant ensuite intégrés dans le coffre qui reçoit à chacune de ses extrémités le dispositif d'assemblage 1 selon l'invention, ledit dispositif d'assemblage 1 étant fixé sur les extrémités de deux coulisses solidaires des parois latérales d'un dormant, notamment une porte, une fenêtre ou toute ouverture analogue. Le tambour de volet roulant est également supporté au niveau de ses extrémités par le dispositif d'assemblage.The assembly device 1 for roller shutter is arranged to allow the attachment of the shutter boxes on a slide. Indeed, the roller shutter consists of an apron formed of lamellae hinged together, said apron being wound on a drum, the elements then being integrated into the trunk which receives at each of its ends the assembly device 1 according to the invention. invention, said assembly device 1 being fixed on the ends of two slides secured to the side walls of a frame, in particular a door, a window or any similar opening. The rolling shutter drum is also supported at its ends by the assembly device.

Le dispositif d'assemblage 1 selon l'invention se compose d'une joue 3, d'une patte 5 de guidage et de verrouillage de la joue 3 sur la coulisse, et d'un guide lame 7 agencé à l'extrémité de la coulisse pour guider les lames du tablier lors de leur introduction dans lesdites coulisses pour le déploiement du volet, ou lors de l'enroulement du tablier autour du tambour pour l'ouverture du volet.The assembly device 1 according to the invention consists of a cheek 3, a lug 5 for guiding and locking the cheek 3 on the slide, and a blade guide 7 arranged at the end of the slide to guide the blades of the apron during their introduction in said slides for the deployment of the flap, or during the winding of the apron around the drum for opening the flap.

La joue 3 est agencée pour être montée à l'extrémité du coffre afin de permettre son support ; la joue 3 supporte également une des extrémités de l'arbre du tambour l'enroulement du volet roulant.The cheek 3 is arranged to be mounted at the end of the trunk to allow its support; cheek 3 also supports one end of the drum shaft winding the shutter.

Pour cela, la joue 3 se compose d'un fond 9 qui comprend sur sa face intérieure 11 des moyens d'assemblage 13 avec l'extrémité de l'arbre du tambour ; la joue 3 comprend également un contour 15, défini à la périphérie du fond 9, ce contour 15 s'étendant perpendiculairement par rapport à la face interne 11 du fond 9. La forme du contour 15 correspond, de manière préférentielle, à celle du coffre, et est agencé pour s'insérer dans l'extrémité latérale du coffre de volet roulant qui présente une forme correspondante apte à recevoir ledit contour 15.For this, the cheek 3 consists of a bottom 9 which comprises on its inner face 11 of the assembly means 13 with the end of the shaft of the drum; the cheek 3 also comprises a contour 15, defined at the periphery of the bottom 9, this contour 15 extending perpendicularly with respect to the inner face 11 of the bottom 9. The shape of the contour 15 corresponds, preferably, to that of the trunk and is arranged to fit into the lateral end of the shutter box which has a corresponding shape adapted to receive said contour 15.

Telle que représentée sur les figures 2 à 4, la patte 5 est solidaire de la joue 3 et permet son support sur l'extrémité de la coulisse. Cette patte est escamotable par rapport à la joue de manière à être rétractée, telle que représentée en figure 4, et à faciliter ainsi le positionnement du coffre au dessus des coulisses, sous le linteau de l'ouvrant, notamment lorsque l'espace est réduit sous ledit linteau. La patte 5 escamotable est ensuite déployée par rapport à la joue 3 afin de permettre son guidage par rapport à la coulisse, la patte 5 étant alors insérée dans ladite coulisse pour assurer le verrouillage de la joue 3 sur la coulisse. Cette position rétractée présente également un avantage lors du transport, celle-ci permettant de pallier aux problèmes de casse de la patte.As represented on the Figures 2 to 4 , the tab 5 is integral with the cheek 3 and allows its support on the end of the slide. This tab is retractable relative to the cheek so as to be retracted, as shown in FIG. figure 4 , and thus facilitate the positioning of the trunk above the wings, under the lintel of the opening, especially when the space is reduced under said lintel. The retractable lug 5 is then deployed relative to the cheek 3 to allow its guidance relative to the slide, the lug 5 then being inserted into said slide to ensure the locking of the cheek 3 on the slide. This retracted position also has an advantage during transport, the latter to overcome the breakage of the leg problem.

Tel que représenté sur la figure 1, le contour 15 comprend au moins une encoche 17 ouverte sur le bord externe 19, sur le côté inférieur 21 dudit contour 15, cette encoche 17 permettant le passage de la patte 5 pour la positionner dans la joue 3 et assurer la translation verticale dans le bas par rapport à ladite joue 3.As shown on the figure 1 , the contour 15 comprises at least one notch 17 open on the outer edge 19, on the lower side 21 of said contour 15, this notch 17 allowing the passage of the lug 5 to position it in the cheek 3 and ensure the vertical translation in the low with respect to said cheek 3.

Ainsi, le positionnement de la patte 5 sur la joue peut être réalisé sans nécessiter la déformation de la matière de l'une des deux pièces et notamment celle de la joue 3, ce qui permet avantageusement l'utilisation des joues métalliques, notamment en aluminium.Thus, the positioning of the tab 5 on the cheek can be achieved without requiring the deformation of the material of one of the two parts and in particular that of the cheek 3, which advantageously allows the use of metal cheeks, especially aluminum.

De manière préférentielle, la joue 3 comprend d'autres encoches agencées notamment pour le passage des organes de commande du tambour de volet roulant.Preferably, the cheek 3 comprises other notches arranged in particular for the passage of the control members of the rolling shutter drum.

Le guide lame 7 est monté de manière amovible sur la joue.The blade guide 7 is removably mounted on the cheek.

Pour cela, le guide lame 7 comprend des moyens d'assemblage avec la joue 3, constitués par une liaison glissière agencée entre lesdits éléments. Cette liaison glissière agencée au niveau de l'encoche 17 permet de supprimer cinq des degrés de liberté entre la joue 3 et le guide lame 7, seule reste possible une translation du guide lame 7 dans une direction perpendiculaire au fond 9 de la joue 3, suivant la profondeur du contour 15. Ce sixième degré de liberté est par ailleurs supprimé par des moyens d'arrêt en translation, notamment mis en place lors du positionnement du corps de guide lame 7 dans la chambre de la coulisse. On supprime ainsi l'ensemble des degrés de liberté entre la joue 3 et le guide lame 7. Par ailleurs, le guide lame 7 comprend des moyens d'emboîtement sur l'extrémité de la coulisse de manière à être immobilisé par rapport à celle-ci ; la suppression des six degrés de liberté entre la joue 3 et le guide lame 7 permet donc d'immobiliser ladite joue par rapport à la coulisse, via l'emboîtement du guide lame 7 sur ladite coulisse. Cet emboîtement permet de plus de rigidifier l'assemblage du coffre sur la coulisse.For this, the blade guide 7 comprises assembly means with the cheek 3, constituted by a slide connection arranged between said elements. This sliding connection arranged at the notch 17 makes it possible to eliminate five of the degrees of freedom between the cheek 3 and the blade guide 7, only remaining possible a translation of the blade guide 7 in a direction perpendicular to the bottom 9 of the cheek 3, According to the depth of the contour 15. This sixth degree of freedom is also eliminated by translation stop means, in particular implemented during the positioning of the blade guide body 7 in the slide chamber. This eliminates all the degrees of freedom between the cheek 3 and the blade guide 7. In addition, the blade guide 7 comprises interlocking means on the end of the slide so as to be immobilized with respect to the this ; the removal of the six degrees of freedom between the cheek 3 and the blade guide 7 thus makes it possible to immobilize said cheek with respect to the slide, via the engagement of the blade guide 7 on said slide. This interlocking makes it possible to stiffen the assembly of the box on the slide.

Ce guide lame 7 comprend des moyens de butée sur la patte de guidage. Ces moyens de butée sont agencés pour coopérer avec la joue 3 lors de son assemblage avec le guide lame 7 et assurer ainsi le maintien en position de la patte de guidage 5 montée coulissante par rapport à la joue 3.This blade guide 7 comprises stop means on the guide tab. These stop means are arranged to cooperate with the cheek 3 during its assembly with the blade guide 7 and thus ensure the holding in position of the guide lug 5 slidably mounted relative to the cheek 3.

Le guide lame 7 comprend des moyens d'arrêt de la patte de guidage qui permettent son maintien en position déployée et en position escamotée. On évite ainsi que la patte ne se rétracte lors de son positionnement dans la coulisse.The blade guide 7 comprises means for stopping the guide tab which allow it to be held in the extended position and in the retracted position. This prevents the tab retracts when positioned in the slide.

Par ailleurs, la joue comprend également des moyens d'arrêt, constitués par un plot 103 qui vient en butée sur les extrémités d'une lumière 101 sur la patte de guidage 5 permettant de limiter son déploiement par rapport à ladite joue 3 suivant une longueur déterminée ; ainsi, la patte de guidage 5 est apte à se déployer et à coulisser par rapport à la joue 3 et par rapport aux moyens de butée sur la patte de guidage, le déploiement de la patte de guidage 5 étant stoppée lorsque les moyens d'arrêt sur la joue 3 entrent en butée sur la patte de guidage 5. On évite ainsi le dégagement complet voire la chute de la patte 5 hors de la joue 3.Furthermore, the cheek also comprises stop means, constituted by a stud 103 which abuts on the ends of a light 101 on the guide lug 5 to limit its deployment relative to said cheek 3 along a length determined; thus, the guide lug 5 is suitable for deploy and slide relative to the cheek 3 and relative to the stop means on the guide lug, the deployment of the guide lug 5 being stopped when the stop means on the cheek 3 abut on the leg of guiding 5. This avoids the complete disengagement or even the fall of the tab 5 out of the cheek 3.

Telle que représentée sur les figures 1 et 2, la joue 3 comprend sur sa face intérieure 11 des moyens de guidage de la patte 5, constitués par deux glissières 73. Ces moyens de guidage sont disposés verticalement sur le fond 9 de la joue 3 et permettent de guider en translation la patte 5 par rapport au fond de la joue 3. La patte de guidage 5 est constituée d'un profilé de forme longitudinale qui est agencé pour coopérer avec les moyens de guidage.As represented on the figures 1 and 2 , the cheek 3 comprises on its inner face 11 means for guiding the tab 5, constituted by two slides 73. These guide means are arranged vertically on the bottom 9 of the cheek 3 and allow to guide in translation the leg 5 by relative to the bottom of the cheek 3. The guide lug 5 consists of a longitudinal shaped section which is arranged to cooperate with the guide means.

Tel que représenté sur les figures 1 et 3, le guide lame 7 comprend une première partie 23 apte à être assemblée en liaison glissière avec la joue 3 suivant une direction perpendiculaire au fond 9 de la joue 3. Lors de l'assemblage en liaison glissière de la première partie 23 du guide lame 7 sur la joue 3, l'extrémité 25 de ladite première partie 23 est agencée pour former butée sur la patte de guidage 5 et assurer ainsi le maintien en appui de la patte 5 dans les moyens de guidage et sur le fond 9 de la joue 3.As shown on the figures 1 and 3 , the blade guide 7 comprises a first portion 23 adapted to be assembled in sliding connection with the cheek 3 in a direction perpendicular to the bottom 9 of the cheek 3. When assembling in a sliding connection of the first portion 23 of the blade guide 7 on the cheek 3, the end 25 of said first part 23 is arranged to form a stop on the guide lug 5 and thus ensure that the lug 5 is held in the guide means and on the bottom 9 of the cheek 3 .

La première partie 23 du guide lame comprend des moyens d'emboîtement sur la coulisse. Ces moyens d'emboîtement permettent de renforcer l'assemblage de la joue sur ladite coulisse. Ces moyens d'emboîtement sont constitués d'une partie saillante 26, illustrée en figure 1, qui s'étend vers le bas sous la première partie 23 du guide 7, comprenant deux rebords 27,29 aptes à assurer un montage serré, la partie saillante 26 étant apte à être introduite dans l'extrémité supérieure d'une chambre de réception sur la coulisse, apte à recevoir également la patte de guidage 5. Cette partie saillante 26 présente de préférence une largeur et une profondeur correspondant à celles de la partie inférieure 31 de la patte de guidage 5 en forme d'équerre. Ces dimensions correspondent, par ailleurs, à celles de la chambre de réception sur la coulisse.The first portion 23 of the blade guide comprises interlocking means on the slide. These interlocking means make it possible to reinforce the assembly of the cheek on said slide. These interlocking means consist of a projecting portion 26, illustrated in FIG. figure 1 , which extends downwardly under the first portion 23 of the guide 7, comprising two flanges 27, 29 adapted to ensure a tight fitting, the projection 26 being able to be introduced into the upper end of a receiving chamber on the slide, adapted to also receive the guide lug 5. This projecting portion 26 preferably has a width and a depth corresponding to those of the lower portion 31 of the guide lug 5 shaped bracket. These dimensions correspond, moreover, to those of the receiving chamber on the slide.

Tel que représenté sur les figures 1 et 3, le guide lame 7 comprend une seconde partie 33 qui est agencée pour guider les lames du tablier de volet roulant lors de leur introduction dans la coulisse. Pour cela, la seconde partie 33 comprend deux branches 35,37 formant une zone évasée dans laquelle sont guidées les lames du tablier.As shown on the figures 1 and 3 , the blade guide 7 comprises a second portion 33 which is arranged to guide the blades of the rolling shutter apron when introduced into the slide. For this, the second part 33 comprises two branches 35,37 forming a flared zone in which are guided the blades of the deck.

De manière préférentielle, cette seconde partie 33 comprend également des moyens d'emboîtement 39,41 dans une seconde chambre sur la coulisse, appelée couramment chambre de guidage, ce qui assure un emboîtement de la totalité du guide lame 7 qui est rendu solidaire de la joue 3 et de la patte de guidage 5, renforçant de cette façon l'assemblage de la joue 3 et de la patte 5 sur la coulisse.Preferably, this second portion 33 also comprises interlocking means 39, 41 in a second chamber on the slide, commonly known as a guide chamber, which ensures that the entire blade guide 7 is interlocked with the guide. 3 plays and the guide lug 5, thereby reinforcing the assembly of the cheek 3 and the lug 5 on the slide.

Tel que représenté sur les figures 1 à 4, le guide lame 7 comprend une portion adaptable 43, notamment appelée aile de guidage, pour aligner le fond de la zone de guidage des lames sur la coulisse, avec un flasque de guidage, connu de l'homme du métier, que l'on retrouve communément sur l'arbre ou tambour, quand il est tournant, ou fixé sur la joue, quand il est fixe. Cette portion adaptable 43 est sécable pour adapter le guide lame 7 aux différentes tailles de joues 3 et éviter qu'il n'entre en contact avec le flasque.As shown on the Figures 1 to 4 , the blade guide 7 comprises an adaptable portion 43, in particular called a guide wing, for aligning the bottom of the guide zone of the blades on the slide, with a guide flange, known to those skilled in the art, which is found commonly on the shaft or drum, when it is turning, or fixed on the cheek, when it is fixed. This adaptable portion 43 is breakable to adapt the blade guide 7 to different sizes of cheeks 3 and prevent it from coming into contact with the flange.

La patte de guidage 5 en position dans la joue 3 et maintenue en butée par le guide lame 7, est introduite dans la chambre de réception de la coulisse. Les première 23 et seconde parties 33 du guide lame 7 sont respectivement emboîtées dans les chambres de réception et la chambre de guidage de ladite coulisse.The guide lug 5 in position in the cheek 3 and held in abutment by the blade guide 7, is introduced into the receiving chamber of the slide. The first 23 and second portions 33 of the blade guide 7 are respectively fitted into the receiving chambers and the guide chamber of said slide.

Tel que représenté sur les figures 1,3 et 4, la partie adaptable 43 est agencée entre la première partie 23 et la seconde partie 33 du guide lame 7 de manière à séparer physiquement la zone d'assemblage entre la joue et la patte de guidage, et la zone de guidage des lames du tablier.As shown on the figures 1 , 3 and 4 , the adaptable portion 43 is arranged between the first portion 23 and the second portion 33 of the blade guide 7 so as to physically separate the assembly area between the cheek and the guide lug, and the guiding area of the apron blades.

Telle que représentée sur les figures 2 à 4, la première partie 23 du guide lame 7 comprend un système de clips ou plots 49 qui est agencé pour coopérer avec la patte de guidage 5 lorsque le guide lame 7 est assemblé sur la joue 3 et que l'extrémité 25 de la première partie 23 est en butée sur la patte de guidage 5 pour la maintenir en appui sur le fond 9.As represented on the Figures 2 to 4 , the first portion 23 of the blade guide 7 comprises a clip system or pads 49 which is arranged to cooperate with the guide lug 5 when the blade guide 7 is assembled on the cheek 3 and the end 25 of the first part 23 is in abutment on the guide lug 5 to keep it resting on the bottom 9.

Ce plot 49 permet de maintenir la patte 5 par rapport à la joue 3 lors de son assemblage sur la coulisse. Pour cela, telle qu'illustrée à la figure 3, la première partie 23 comprend le plot 49 au niveau de l'extrémité 25 sur la partie saillante 26. Le plot 49 est apte à s'engager dans la lumière 101 de la patte 5 lorsque celle-ci est déployée sur la joue 3 ; le plot 49 vient en butée sur l'extrémité inférieure 111 de la lumière 101, ce qui évite que la patte 5 ne se rétracte lors de son insertion dans la coulisse.This stud 49 keeps the tab 5 relative to the cheek 3 when assembled on the slide. For this, as illustrated in figure 3 , the first part 23 comprises the stud 49 at the end 25 on the projecting portion 26. The stud 49 is able to engage in the light 101 of the tab 5 when it is deployed on the cheek 3; the stud 49 abuts on the lower end 111 of the light 101, which prevents the lug 5 from retracting when inserted into the slide.

De manière préférentielle, la patte comprend un orifice 59 qui permet d'arrêter la patte 5 par rapport à la joue 3 suivant une seconde position selon laquelle ladite patte est rétractée, le plot 49 de la lamelle 51 étant positionné dans ledit orifice 59.Preferably, the tab comprises an orifice 59 which makes it possible to stop the tab 5 with respect to the cheek 3 according to a second position in which said tab is retracted, the pad 49 of the lamella 51 being positioned in said orifice 59.

La patte comprend, de préférence, un décrochement 61 dans lequel le plot 49 peut se loger, permettant de rétracter complètement la patte 5 à l'intérieur de la joue 3.The tab preferably comprises a recess 61 in which the stud 49 can be housed, allowing complete retraction of the tab 5 inside the cheek 3.

Tels qu'illustrés sur la figure 1, les moyens d'arrêt sur la joue 3, permettant de limiter le déploiement de la patte de guidage, se composent d'une lumière 101 s'étendant longitudinalement sur la patte de guidage, et d'un plot 103 se positionnant dans la lumière 101, servant de butée sur laquelle vient en appui l'extrémité supérieure 105 de la lumière 101. Le plot 103 reçoit une rondelle 107 et une vis 109 qui assurent le maintien de la patte 5 en position sur le plot 103. Par ailleurs, la profondeur du plot 103 est dimensionnée de sorte que, lors de la mise en place de la rondelle 107 et de la vis 109, on maîtrise le serrage de la patte 5 pour que celle-ci soit montée coulissante sur la joue 3.As illustrated on the figure 1 , the stop means on the cheek 3, to limit the deployment of the guide tab, consist of a light 101 extending longitudinally on the guide lug, and a stud 103 positioned in the light 101, serving as a stop on which bears the upper end 105 of the light 101. The stud 103 receives a washer 107 and a screw 109 which ensure the maintenance of the lug 5 in position on the stud 103. Moreover, the The depth of the stud 103 is dimensioned so that, during the introduction of the washer 107 and the screw 109, it controls the clamping of the tab 5 so that it is slidably mounted on the cheek 3.

Tels que représentés sur les figures 1 et 2, les moyens de guidage de la patte 5 par rapport à la joue 3 sont mis en oeuvre au moyen d'une butée longitudinale 63 qui est agencée sur le fond 9 de la joue 3, sur sa face interne 11. Cette butée longitudinale 63 s'étend parallèlement par rapport au côté latéral 47 du contour 15. Ce côté latéral 47 comprend également une butée longitudinale 71. Les deux butées longitudinales 63,71 sont espacées d'une distance correspondant à la largeur de la patte de guidage 5 et forment ainsi une glissière 73 pour la patte 5. Ainsi, la patte 5 est apte à coulisser dans la glissière 73, les flancs 75,77 de la patte 5 étant guidés en appui sur les butées 63,71, ce qui assure simultanément le renfort de la joue 3 assemblée sur la coulisse.As represented on the figures 1 and 2 , the guide means of the tab 5 relative to the cheek 3 are implemented by means of a longitudinal stop 63 which is arranged on the bottom 9 of the cheek 3, on its inner face 11. This longitudinal stop 63 s extends parallel to the lateral side 47 of the contour 15. This lateral side 47 also comprises a longitudinal stop 71. The two longitudinal stops 63, 71 are spaced a distance corresponding to the width of the guide tab 5 and thus form a slide 73 for the tab 5. Thus, the tab 5 is slidable in the slide 73, the flanks 75,77 of the tab 5 being guided in abutment on the abutments 63,71, which simultaneously ensures the reinforcement of the play 3 assembly on the slide.

Les moyens d'assemblage du guide lame 7 sur la joue se composent en partie d'une glissière 87, illustrés en figure 1, réalisée sur la partie inférieure 21 du contour 15 de la joue 3. Dans cette glissière 87 vient s'engager un logement 89 correspondant avec ladite glissière 87. Cette liaison supprime donc cinq degrés de liberté entre les deux éléments 3,7, le sixième degré étant supprimé lors du positionnement de la patte 5 et du guide lame 7 dans la coulisse, ce qui garantit le maintien en position du logement 89 à l'intérieur de la glissière 87. Le logement 89 et la glissière 87 peuvent bien entendu être inversées sur la joue 3 et le guide lame 7, en conservant la fonction de glissière entre ces deux éléments.The assembly means of the blade guide 7 on the cheek consist in part of a slide 87, illustrated in FIG. figure 1 , made on the lower portion 21 of the contour 15 of the cheek 3. In this slide 87 engages a housing 89 corresponding with said slide 87. This connection thus eliminates five degrees of freedom between the two elements 3.7, the sixth degree being removed during the positioning of the tab 5 and the blade guide 7 in the slide, which ensures the maintenance in position of the housing 89 inside the slide 87. The housing 89 and the slide 87 can of course be reversed on the cheek 3 and the blade guide 7, retaining the slide function between these two elements.

La présente invention présente donc pour avantage essentiel l'utilisation d'une patte rétractile dans une joue en aluminium qui renforce l'assemblage du coffre de volet roulant sur les coulisses. Sa conception peut toutefois être envisagée sur des joues en matière plastique, notamment pour des volets roulants de petites dimensions, soumis à des efforts moindres.The present invention therefore has the essential advantage of using a retractable tab in an aluminum cheek that reinforces the assembly of the rolling shutter box on the slides. Its design can however be envisaged on plastic cheeks, especially for roller shutters of small dimensions, subjected to less effort.
