Description

La présente invention est relative à un rideau, présentant des bords latéraux flexibles, pouvant s'enrouler et se dérouler entre une position de fermeture et une position d'ouverture. On connaît les documents DE 19636176 A1 , EP 1460231 A2 et WO 03/048497 A1 .The present invention relates to a curtain, having flexible side edges, which can be wound and unwind between a closed position and an open position. We know the documents DE 19636176 A1 , EP 1460231 A2 and WO 03/048497 A1 .

Il s'agit d'un rideau qui comprend sur chacune de ses faces à proximité de ses bords latéraux une courroie, ces deux courroies, présentant des dents, étant situées en regard l'une de l'autre de manière à pouvoir s'engrener l'une avec l'autre lors de l'enroulement du rideau.This is a curtain which comprises on each of its faces near its side edges a belt, these two belts, having teeth, being located opposite one another so as to be able to mesh with each other when winding the curtain.

Il est important que, lors du déroulement du rideau, on puisse exercer sur celui-ci suivant une direction parallèle à ses bords latéraux une force suffisamment importante. Pour certaines applications, l'on doit pouvoir exercer une force de poussée sur les bords latéraux du rideau suivant leur direction longitudinale lors de l'enroulement du rideau.It is important that, during the unwinding of the curtain, it is possible to exert on it a direction parallel to its lateral edges a sufficiently large force. For some applications, it must be possible to exert a thrust force on the lateral edges of the curtain in their longitudinal direction during winding of the curtain.

Ainsi, un des buts essentiels de la présente invention est de proposer à ce problème une solution très efficace, même pour des rideaux devant se déplacer à des vitesses très importantes.Thus, one of the essential aims of the present invention is to propose a very effective solution to this problem, even for curtains having to move at very high speeds.

A cet effet, suivant l'invention, au moins une de ces courroies comprend des dents présentant au moins un creux dans lequel au moins une partie des dents de l'autre courroie peut s'engager d'une manière telle à pouvoir accrocher les deux courroies les unes aux autres et à permettre à une de ces courroies de pousser sur l'autre courroie dans le sens de leur longueur pour déplacer le rideau lors de son déroulement de sa position d'ouverture vers sa position de fermeture ou lors de son enroulement.For this purpose, according to the invention, at least one of these belts comprises teeth having at least one recess in which at least one part of the teeth of the other belt can engage in such a way as to be able to hook the two belts to one another and to allow one of these belts to push on the other belt in the direction of their length to move the curtain as it moves from its open position to its closed position or during its winding .

Dans une forme de réalisation préférentielle de l'invention, les deux courroies précitées sont crantées et présentent des dents en forme de dents de scie.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the two aforementioned belts are notched and have teeth in the form of sawtooth.

Dans les différentes figures, les mêmes chiffres de référence se rapportent à des éléments analogues ou identiques.In the different figures, the same reference numerals refer to similar or identical elements.

D'une façon générale, l'invention concerne un dispositif à rideau enroulable destiné à la fermeture d'une baie ou toute autre ouverture, comme une baie de porte ou de fenêtre, du volume de chargement d'un véhicule, tel qu'un camion ou d'un bateau, au recouvrement d'une piscine, etc.In general, the invention relates to a roll-up curtain device intended for closing a bay or any other opening, such as a door or window bay, of the loading volume of a vehicle, such as a truck or boat, to lap pool, etc.

Le rideau précité présente des bords latéraux qui sont de préférence réalisé en une matière flexible. Ce rideau est p.e. formé par une bâche, un filet, une succession de lamelles articulées les unes aux autres s'étendant perpendiculairement à sa direction de déplacement et bordées latéralement par une zone souple pourvue de courroies crantées, etc.The aforementioned curtain has side edges which are preferably made of a flexible material. This curtain is p.e. formed by a tarpaulin, a net, a succession of slats hinged to each other extending perpendicular to its direction of travel and laterally edged by a flexible zone provided with toothed belts, etc..

Ce dispositif se caractérise par le fait qu'au moins une de ces courroies comprend des dents présentant au moins un creux dans lequel au moins une partie des dents de l'autre courroie peut s'engager d'une manière telle à pouvoir accrocher les deux courroies les unes aux autres et à permettre à une de ces courroies de pousser sur l'autre courroie dans le sens de leur longueur pour déplacer le rideau lors de son déroulement de sa position d'ouverture vers sa position de fermeture. Lors de ce déroulement, les courroies ne se décrochent pas dans la partie enroulée du rideau de sorte que les spires successives de cette partie enroulée restent fixées les unes aux autres. Les courroies se décrochent seulement à l'endroit où le rideau passe de l'état enroulé à l'état déroulé.This device is characterized in that at least one of these belts comprises teeth having at least one hollow in which at least a portion of the teeth of the other belt can engage in such a way as to be able to hook the two belts to one another and to allow one of these belts to push on the other belt in the direction of their length to move the curtain as it unfolds from its open position to its closed position. During this unwinding, the belts do not break in the wound portion of the curtain so that the successive turns of this wound portion remain fixed to each other. The belts only come off at the point where the curtain moves from the wound state to the unwound state.

Les figures 1 et 2 concernent une première forme de réalisation du dispositif suivant l'invention.The Figures 1 and 2 relate to a first embodiment of the device according to the invention.

Dans cette forme de réalisation, on représente une partie d'un rideau 1 dont sur chacune de ses faces est fixée une courroie crantée 2 et 3. Ces courroies 2 et 3 se situent au bord latéral 4 du rideau 1 en regard l'une de l'autre de manière à pouvoir s'engrener l'une avec l'autre lors de l'enroulement du rideau 1, comme représenté à la figure 2 où le rideau 1 est enroulé sur un tambour 7. Le tambour 7 est de préférence formé par un cylindre dont la largeur correspond à la largeur du rideau 1.In this embodiment, there is shown a portion of a curtain 1 which on each of its faces is fixed a toothed belt 2 and 3. These belts 2 and 3 are located at the lateral edge 4 of the curtain 1 facing one of the other so as to be able to mesh with each other during winding of the curtain 1, as shown in FIG. figure 2 where the curtain 1 is wound on a drum 7. The drum 7 is preferably formed by a cylinder whose width corresponds to the width of the curtain 1.

Dans cette forme de réalisation les dents 5 et 6 de ces courroies 2 et 3 ont l'allure de crampons.In this embodiment the teeth 5 and 6 of these belts 2 and 3 have the appearance of crampons.

Ainsi, ces dents 5 et 6 présentent un creux 8, respectivement 9, et une partie saillante 10, respectivement 11. Les parties saillantes 10 et 11 des dents 5 et 6 surplombent les creux correspondants 8 et 9 de ces dents dans la direction longitudinale des courroies 2 et 3.Thus, these teeth 5 and 6 have a recess 8, respectively 9, and a projecting portion 10, respectively 11. The projections 10 and 11 of the teeth 5 and 6 overhang the corresponding recesses 8 and 9 of these teeth in the longitudinal direction of the teeth. belts 2 and 3.

La forme de ces creux 8,9 et des parties saillantes 10,11 est telle que la partie saillante 10 des dents 5 d'une des courroies 2 puisse s'engrener et s'accrocher dans le creux 9 des dents 6 de l'autre courroie 3 et vice-versa lors de l'enroulement du rideau 1. Les dents 5 et 6 présentent, de préférence, une forme identique, alors que la partie saillante des dents 5 est orientée dans un sens opposé à celui des dents 6.The shape of these recesses 8, 9 and protruding portions 10, 11 is such that the projecting portion 10 of the teeth 5 of one of the belts 2 can mesh with and hook into the recess 9 of the teeth 6 of the other belt 3 and vice versa when winding the curtain 1. The teeth 5 and 6 preferably have an identical shape, while the protruding portion of the teeth 5 is oriented in a direction opposite to that of the teeth 6.

Ceci est également le cas pour la distance entre deux dents consécutives 5 qui est adaptée à celle entre les dents 6, notamment les entailles 12 prévues entre ces dents.This is also the case for the distance between two consecutive teeth 5 which is adapted to that between the teeth 6, in particular the notches 12 provided between these teeth.

La figure 3 concerne une deuxième forme de réalisation qui diffère par rapport à celle des figures 1 et 2, par la forme des dents.The figure 3 a second embodiment which differs from that of the Figures 1 and 2 , by the shape of the teeth.

En effet, dans la figure 3, les dents 5 et 6, séparées par des entailles 12, présentent une section suivant la direction longitudinale des courroies 2 et 3 ayant une allure trapézoïdale.Indeed, in the figure 3 , the teeth 5 and 6, separated by notches 12, have a section in the longitudinal direction of the belts 2 and 3 having a trapezoidal shape.

De cette façon, ces dents présentent une face transversale inclinée suivant un angle pointu (α) et forment également des crampons ayant sensiblement la même fonction que dans la première forme de réalisation. L'angle pointu (α) est de préférence compris entre 10° et 40° et est avantageusement de l'ordre de 20°. Plus concrètement, dans la figure 3, les dents 5 et 6 présentent, en particulier, une section suivant la direction longitudinale des courroies 2 et 3 ayant l'allure d'un parallélogramme.In this way, these teeth have a transverse face inclined at a sharp angle (α) and also form crampons having substantially the same function as in the first embodiment. The sharp angle (α) is preferably between 10 ° and 40 ° and is preferably of the order of 20 °. More concretely, in the figure 3 , the teeth 5 and 6 have, in particular, a section in the longitudinal direction of the belts 2 and 3 having the appearance of a parallelogram.

L'angle pointu (α) est, en particulier, choisi de manière à éviter que les extrémités ou les parties saillantes 10 et 11 d'une courroie 2 ne frottent sur les parties saillantes de l'autre courroie 3 lors du déroulement ou de l'enroulement du rideau 1. Ainsi, il est évité que ces parties saillantes 10 et 11 des dents 5 et 6 se déforment ou soient endommagées à l'endroit où la partie déroulée du rideau 1 est en contact avec la partie enroulée du celui-ci.The sharp angle (α) is, in particular, chosen so as to prevent the ends or the projecting portions 10 and 11 of a belt 2 from rubbing against the projecting parts of the other belt 3 during unwinding or curtain winding 1. Thus, it is avoided that these projecting portions 10 and 11 of the teeth 5 and 6 are deformed or damaged at the place where the unwound part of the curtain 1 is in contact with the wound portion thereof .

L'inclinaison des dents 5 de la courroie 2 est opposée à celle des dents 6 de la courroie 3 pour permettre aux dents de la courroie 3 de s'appuyer contre les dents 5 de la courroie 2 lors du déroulement du volet, comme indiqué par la flèche 13.The inclination of the teeth 5 of the belt 2 is opposed to that of the teeth 6 of the belt 3 to allow the teeth of the belt 3 to rest against the teeth 5 of the belt 2 during the unwinding of the flap, as indicated by the arrow 13.

La largeur « a » des entailles 12, dans le sens de la longueur des courroies 2 et 3 est supérieure à la largeur correspondante « b » des dents 5 et 6.The width "a" of the notches 12, in the direction of the length of the belts 2 and 3 is greater than the corresponding width "b" of the teeth 5 and 6.

Ceci a comme avantage que l'on évite que des particules de matière, telle que de la poussière, puissent s'accumuler dans ces entailles 12 et gêner l'engrènement des dents 5 et 6. En particulier, par la présence d'un espace libre dans ces entailles 12 entre les dents 5 et 6, l'on constate que de telles particules de matière sont automatiquement évacuées des entailles 12 lors de l'engrènement des courroies 2 et 3 l'une avec l'autre.This has the advantage that it prevents particles of material, such as dust, can accumulate in these cuts 12 and interfere with the meshing of the teeth 5 and 6. In particular, by the presence of a space free in these notches 12 between the teeth 5 and 6, it is found that such particles of material are automatically removed from the notches 12 during the meshing of the belts 2 and 3 with each other.

Dans une première variante du dispositif suivant l'invention, non représentée, les dents présentent un plan de symétrie perpendiculaire au sens longitudinal des courroies, de sorte qu'un creux et une partie saillante sont prévus aux côtés opposés des dents suivant ce sens longitudinal.In a first variant of the device according to the invention, not shown, the teeth have a plane of symmetry perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the belts, so that a recess and a projection are provided on opposite sides of the teeth in this longitudinal direction.

Ainsi, on obtient un double accrochage entre les dents d'une courroie et celles de l'autre courroie.Thus, we obtain a double hooking between the teeth of one belt and those of the other belt.

Dans une autre variante du dispositif suivant l'invention telle que représentée à la figure 5, la largeur « a » des entailles 12 à la base de celles-ci et dans le sens de la longueur des courroies 2 et 3 correspond sensiblement à la largeur correspondante « b » des dents 5 et 6. Ainsi, l'on obtient un accrochage des dents 5 et 6 dans les entailles 12 correspondantes qui est relativement solide, en comparaison avec les formes de réalisation précédentes, étant donné que les dents 5 et 6 sont serrées dans ces dernières lors de l'enroulement du rideau.In another variant of the device according to the invention as represented in FIG. figure 5 , the width "a" of the notches 12 at the base thereof and in the direction of the length of the belts 2 and 3 corresponds substantially to the corresponding width "b" of the teeth 5 and 6. Thus, we obtain a hooking of the teeth 5 and 6 in the corresponding notches 12 which is relatively solid, in comparison with the previous embodiments, since the teeth 5 and 6 are clamped in the latter during winding of the curtain.

Les dents 5 et 6 des courroies 2 et 3 présentent une face latérale qui s'étend sensiblement perpendiculairement par rapport à la direction longitudinale des courroies et une face opposée qui est inclinée suivant un angle pointu (α), par exemple de l'ordre de 20°, par rapport à cette direction. Par conséquent, les dents 5 et 6 présentent une section ayant une allure trapézoïdale suivant la direction longitudinale des courroies 2 et 3.The teeth 5 and 6 of the belts 2 and 3 have a lateral face which extends substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the belts and an opposite face which is inclined at a sharp angle (α), for example of the order of 20 °, in relation to this direction. Consequently, the teeth 5 and 6 have a section having a trapezoidal shape in the longitudinal direction of the belts 2 and 3.

Dans la figure 6 une première application très intéressante du dispositif à rideau, suivant l'invention, est représentée. Dans cette application le dispositif à rideau est monté en regard d'une baie 14 prévue dans une paroi 15.In the figure 6 a first very interesting application of the curtain device according to the invention is shown. In this application the curtain device is mounted opposite a bay 14 provided in a wall 15.

Le dispositif coopère avec un tambour d'entraînement 16 qui est formé par un cylindre dont la largeur correspond sensiblement à la largeur du rideau 1 et dont les extrémités sont pourvues d'une succession de dents 17 s'étendant suivant sa périphérique.The device cooperates with a drive drum 16 which is formed by a cylinder whose width substantially corresponds to the width of the curtain 1 and whose ends are provided with a succession of teeth 17 extending along its peripheral.

En regard de ce tambour d'entraînement 16 est monté un tambour d'enroulement 7 de sorte que le tambour d'entraînement 16 est situé entre la baie 14 ou la paroi 15 et le tambour 7.Opposite this drive drum 16 is mounted a winding drum 7 so that the driving drum 16 is located between the bay 14 or the wall 15 and the drum 7.

Comme représenté dans la figure 6, le rideau 1 s'étend en regard de la baie 14 et est guidé ensuite sur une partie de la périphérie du tambour d'entraînement 16. De ce tambour d'entraînement 16 le rideau 1 se dirige vers le tambour 7 autour duquel il est enroulé pour l'amener dans sa position d'ouverture.As represented in the figure 6 , the curtain 1 extends opposite the bay 14 and is then guided on a part of the periphery of the drive drum 16. From this drive drum 16 the curtain 1 is directed towards the drum 7 around which it is wound to bring it into its open position.

Les bords latéraux du rideau 1 sont, par exemple, pourvus de courroies crantées 2 et 3, comme représenté dans la figure 4, et coopèrent avec les dents 17 du tambour d'entraînement 16. En particulier, les dents 5 de la courroie 2 qui est orientée vers le tambour d'entraînement 16 s'engrènent avec les dents 17 de ce tambour 16. Ainsi, lors de la mise en mouvement du tambour d'entraînement 16 par, par exemple, un moteur non représenté dans la figure 6, le rideau 1 se déplace vers sa position d'ouverture ou sa position de fermeture.The lateral edges of the curtain 1 are, for example, provided with toothed belts 2 and 3, as shown in FIG. figure 4 , and cooperate with the teeth 17 of the drive drum 16. In particular, the teeth 5 of the belt 2 which is directed towards the drive drum 16 meshes with the teeth 17 of the drum 16. Thus, when the setting of the driving drum 16 by, for example, a motor not shown in FIG. figure 6 , the curtain 1 moves to its open position or its closed position.

Pour la clarté de la figure 6, qui est une représentation schématique, les courroies 2 et 3 n'y ont pas été représentées.For the sake of clarity figure 6 , which is a schematic representation, the belts 2 and 3 have not been shown.

Lors du déplacement du rideau 1 vers sa position d'ouverture le tambour 16 est entraîné suivant la direction de la flèche 18 de sorte qu'une force de poussée est exercée sur les bords latéraux du rideau 1, en particulier sur la courroie 2 suivant sa direction longitudinale. Ainsi, le tambour d'enroulement 7, qui peut tourner librement autour de son axe central 20, est également entraîné, de sorte que le rideau 1 est enroulé autour de ce tambour 7.When moving the curtain 1 to its open position the drum 16 is driven in the direction of the arrow 18 so that a pushing force is exerted on the side edges of the curtain 1, in particular on the belt 2 according to its longitudinal direction. Thus, the winding drum 7, which can rotate freely about its central axis 20, is also driven, so that the curtain 1 is wrapped around this drum 7.

Grâce au fait que les dents des deux courroies 2 et 3, pourvues des deux côtés du rideau 1, s'engrènent, les spires successives de la partie du rideau 1 qui est enroulée autour du tambour d'enroulement 7 sont fixées l'une à l'autre et forment un rouleau compact. Ceci permet que le tambour d'enroulement 7 soit entraîné autour de son axe uniquement par l'action de la force de poussée qui est exercée par les bords latéraux du rideau 1.Thanks to the fact that the teeth of the two belts 2 and 3, provided on both sides of the curtain 1, mesh, the successive turns of the part of the curtain 1 which is wound around the winding drum 7 are fixed one to the other and form a compact roller. This allows the winding drum 7 to be driven about its axis only by the action of the thrust force which is exerted by the lateral edges of the curtain 1.

Dans la figure 7, une deuxième application du dispositif à rideau, suivant l'invention, est représentée. Ce dispositif comprend un tambour d'enroulement 7 qui est entraîné autour de son axe par un moteur non représenté. Le tambour 7 est monté en regard d'une paroi 15 au-dessus d'une baie 14 de sorte que cette dernière peut être fermée par le déroulement du rideau 1.In the figure 7 a second application of the curtain device according to the invention is shown. This device comprises a winding drum 7 which is driven around its axis by a motor not shown. The drum 7 is mounted facing a wall 15 above a bay 14 so that the latter can be closed by the unwinding of the curtain 1.

Le rideau 1 est pourvu à ses bords latéraux de courroies comme il est représenté, par exemple, à la figure 1 ou la figure 4.The curtain 1 is provided at its side edges with belts as shown, for example, at the figure 1 or the figure 4 .

Ainsi, les spires successives du rouleau formé par la partie du rideau 1 qui est enroulée autour du tambour 7 sont fixées l'une à l'autre par l'engrènement des dents 5 et 6 des courroies 2 et 3 correspondantes.Thus, the successive turns of the roll formed by the part of the curtain 1 which is wound around the drum 7 are fixed to one another by the engagement of the teeth 5 and 6 of the corresponding belts 2 and 3.

Lors du déroulement du rideau 1 vers sa position de fermeture, les spires successives restent fixées l'une à l'autre jusqu'à l'endroit où le rideau 1 se dégage du rouleau et se déplace approximativement verticalement en regard de la paroi 15 et de la baie 14.During the unwinding of the curtain 1 towards its closed position, the successive turns remain attached to one another until the curtain 1 emerges from the roller and moves approximately vertically facing the wall 15 and from the bay 14.

Ceci est particulièrement important lorsque les bords latéraux du rideau 1 sont guidés par des glissières prévues de part et d'autre de la baie 14. Dans un tel cas une force de poussée est exercée par le tambour 7 sur les bords latéraux du rideau suivant la direction longitudinale de ces derniers permettant de vaincre les forces de frottement dans les glissières. Il est clair que, lorsque les spires successives du rouleau ne sont pas fixées l'une à l'autre ceci n'est pas possible.This is particularly important when the side edges of the curtain 1 are guided by slides provided on either side of the bay 14. In such a case a thrust force is exerted by the drum 7 on the lateral edges of the curtain according to the longitudinal direction of the latter to overcome the friction forces in the slides. It is clear that when the successive turns of the roll are not fixed to each other this is not possible.

Comme dans la figure 6, les courroies 2 et 3 n'ont également pas été représentées dans la figure 7.As in the figure 6 , belts 2 and 3 have also not been shown in the figure 7 .

Il est bien entendu que la présente invention n'est pas limitée aux différentes formes de réalisation décrites ci-dessus et dont certaines ont été représentées dans les dessins annexés mais que bien d'autres variantes peuvent être envisagées sans sortir du cadre de cette invention.It is understood that the present invention is not limited to the various embodiments described above and some of which have been shown in the accompanying drawings but that many other variants can be envisaged without departing from the scope of this invention.

C'est ainsi que la forme des dents et notamment des moyens pour l'accrochage des dents d'une courroie à celles de l'autre courroie peuvent varier entre de larges limites.Thus, the shape of the teeth and in particular means for hooking the teeth of one belt to those of the other belt can vary within wide limits.
