Description

La présente invention concerne les châssis de fermeture de type coulissant ou analogue, comprenant un profilé avec moyens d'évacuation de fluide dans un sens, ce dernier comportant :

  • une embase,
  • au moins un rail de guidage d'un ouvrant coulissant, solidaire d'une face de ladite embase, ledit rail étant constitué de deux première et seconde parois sensiblement parallèles entre elles et sensiblement perpendiculaires à ladite face de l'embase à une distance non nulle l'une de l'autre pour délimiter un espace inter-parois total, le rail comportant, en son sommet défini entre les extrémités libres des première et seconde parois opposées à celles qui sont solidaires de l'embase, un chemin de roulement enclipsé sur lesdites deux extrémités libres des première et seconde parois et entre celles-ci.
The present invention relates to sliding-type closure frames or the like, comprising a profile with fluid discharge means in one direction, the latter comprising:
  • a base,
  • at least one guide rail of a sliding leaf, integral with one face of said base, said rail consisting of two first and second walls substantially parallel to each other and substantially perpendicular to said face of the base at a non-zero distance; one of the other to delimit a total inter-wall space, the rail comprising, at its apex defined between the free ends of the first and second walls opposite to those which are integral with the base, a raceway clipped on said two free ends of the first and second walls and between them.

De tels châssis trouvent une application particulièrement avantageuse dans la constitution des châssis de fermeture entrant dans la construction de bâtiments ou analogues.Such frames find a particularly advantageous application in the construction of closure frames used in the construction of buildings or the like.

On sait que les fermetures de bâtiments, telles que des portes et fenêtres, sont généralement constituées de châssis encastrés dans la maçonnerie et d'éléments de fermeture qui peuvent être mobiles ou fixes.It is known that building closures, such as doors and windows, generally consist of recessed frames in the masonry and closing elements that can be movable or fixed.

De tels châssis sont bien connus et sont constitués de profilés, de préférence du type "à rupture de pont thermique" pour éviter les échanges thermiques entre l'intérieur et l'extérieur des bâtiments. En outre, pour que les coulissants puissent se déplacer, il est nécessaire que les châssis comportent, au moins en partie basse, des rails ou analogues sur lesquels roulent des chariots solidaires des coulissants.Such frames are well known and consist of profiles, preferably of the type "thermal break" to avoid heat exchange between the interior and exterior of buildings. In addition, for the sliders to move, it is necessary that the chassis comprise, at least in the lower part, rails or the like on which rolls integral with the sliding sliders.

Il est également bien connu que, quelle que soit la solution adoptée, il existe toujours la possibilité que du fluide, en général de l'eau, traverse la fermeture, au moins au niveau du coulissant, ou que de l'eau se condense et s'écoule au pied du châssis.It is also well known that, whatever the solution adopted, there is always the possibility that fluid, generally water, passes through the closure, at least at the sliding, or that water condenses and flows at the foot of the chassis.

Pour différentes raisons, il est donc impératif que l'eau accumulée au pied du châssis du côté de l'intérieur de la fermeture soit évacuée par quelque moyen que ce soit.For various reasons, it is therefore imperative that water accumulated at the foot of the frame on the inside side of the closure is evacuated by any means whatsoever.

Le moyen le plus simple est de lui permettre de s'écouler vers l'extérieur, par exemple en la récupérant en partie basse de la fermeture et en la conduisant vers un chemin de communication fluidique déterminé, qui consiste essentiellement en des orifices d'évacuation réalisés dans les profilés constituant le châssis de la fermeture.The easiest way is to allow it to flow outwards, for example by recovering it at the bottom of the closure and leading it to a determined fluid communication path, which essentially consists of evacuation ports. made in the profiles constituting the frame of the closure.

Se pose alors le problème de la communication fluidique inverse, c'est-à-dire le passage, vers l'intérieur, d'un fluide venant de l'extérieur en passant par ces orifices, par exemple de l'eau de pluie lors de grand vent. Aussi, ont été conçus des systèmes de clapet associés aux profilés qui laissent passer le fluide dans un sens, mais empêche son passage dans l'autre sens, quelle que soit la nature de ce fluide, qu'il soit liquide ou gazeux.Then there is the problem of the reverse fluid communication, that is to say the passage, inwardly, of a fluid coming from the outside through these orifices, for example rainwater when high wind. Also, have been designed valve systems associated with the profiles that pass the fluid in one direction, but prevents its passage in the other direction, whatever the nature of this fluid, whether liquid or gaseous.

Ces systèmes de clapet réalisés jusqu'à ce jour donnent satisfaction, mais présentent tous un encombrement en hauteur relativement important, entraînant une élévation de la hauteur de rail en raison du fait que la hauteur du ou des clapets est monté en série sur les embases de seuils ou sur les surfaces extérieures des parois constitutives des rails, suivant la direction verticale. Cette configuration représente, pour ces systèmes de clapet, un inconvénient majeur constitué par le fait que les fermetures comportent alors, en partie basse, des profilés relativement hauts qui constituent des obstacles pour les personnes amenées à passer par ces fermetures quand elles sont ouvertes, et encore plus particulièrement pour les personnes à mobilité réduite, par exemple en fauteuil roulant ou avec tout autre système d'aide au déplacement.These valve systems made to date are satisfactory, but all have a relatively large footprint, resulting in an elevation of the rail height due to the fact that the height of the valve or valves is mounted in series on the bases of thresholds or on the outer surfaces of the constituent walls of the rails, in the vertical direction. This configuration represents, for these valve systems, a major disadvantage constituted by the fact that the closures then comprise, in the lower part, relatively high profiles that constitute obstacles for people who have to go through these closures when they are open, and even more particularly for people with reduced mobility, for example in a wheelchair or with any other mobility assistance system.

On connaît le document US 4,064,653 qui se rapporte à un châssis coulissant comportant deux cadres métalliques reliés par des barres plastiques thermiquement isolantes, à l'intérieur desquels deux ouvrants coulissants sont supportés et guidés en translation sur un seuil formé par les barres inférieures horizontales des cadres. Le seuil comporte une embase métallique de section transversale en forme de U à l'intérieur duquel un élément central de seuil isolant en plastique est disposé, ce dernier formant une partie de l'embase de seuil et les rails pour les ouvrants coulissants en coopération avec une partie de l'embase métallique. Un cadre coulissant selon ce document est guidé dans un rail adoptant la forme d'un logement en U délimité de manière combinée par l'embase métallique et l'élément central en plastique comme décrit ci-après. Le rail selon ce document est ainsi constitué d'une paroi horizontale de l'élément central en plastique et d'une paroi verticale supérieure de cet élément, complétées d'une paroi verticale formée par l'embase métallique et opposée à la paroi verticale supérieure plastique. L'élément central de seuil en matériau plastique comporte ainsi une paroi centrale verticale inférieure de support définissant une embase du rail plastique d'appui sur l'embase métallique pour l'ensemble de la zone centrale de l'élément isolant, et deux parois planes monoblocs, de part et d'autre d'une paroi verticale supérieure, constitutives respectivement des deux bandes de roulement des deux ouvrants coulissants. L'élément central de seuil en plastique est dissociable de l'embase métallique de seuil, de telle sorte qu'il comporte un clapet de drainage disposé sur une face de la paroi verticale centrale inférieure d'embase, et que l'on ne peut monter qu'avant assemblage de l'embase de seuil. La solution selon ce document ne réduit pas la hauteur des rails ni de ce fait la hauteur du seuil car les parois constitutives du rail en U sont montées en série au-dessus du clapet suivant la direction verticale.We know the document US 4,064,653 which relates to a sliding frame comprising two metal frames connected by thermally insulating plastic bars, inside which two sliding openings are supported and guided in translation on a threshold formed by the horizontal lower bars of the frames. The threshold comprises a metal U-shaped cross-section base inside which a central plastic insulating threshold element is arranged, the latter forming part of the threshold base and the rails for the sliding sashes in cooperation with part of the metal base. A sliding frame according to this document is guided in a rail adopting the shape of a U-shaped housing delimited in combination by the metal base and the plastic core element as described below. The rail according to this document is thus constituted by a horizontal wall of the central plastic element and an upper vertical wall of this element, completed by a vertical wall formed by the metal base and opposite to the upper vertical wall plastic . The central element of the plastic material threshold thus comprises a lower vertical central support wall defining a base of the plastic support rail on the metal base for the whole of the central zone of the insulating element, and two flat walls. monoblocs, on each side of an upper vertical wall, respectively constituting the two treads of the two sliding openings. The central plastic threshold element is dissociable from the threshold metal base, so that it comprises a drainage valve disposed on one side of the bottom central vertical wall of the base, and that can not be removed. mount only before assembly of the threshold base. The solution according to this document does not reduce the height of the rails and thus the height of the threshold because the constituent walls of the U-shaped rail are mounted in series above the valve in the vertical direction.

Les éléments sections du châssis fixe comportent une paire de rails longitudinaux dans lesquels s'engagent des roulettes montées sur les châssis mobiles. Les paires de rails des éléments sections des châssis fixes de la première série ont un écartement égal à celui des rails des éléments sections des châssis fixes de la seconde série, de façon que l'on puisse coupler facilement les châssis fixes constitués par les éléments sections de la première série et les châssis mobiles constitués par les éléments sections de la première ou de la seconde série.The document WO98 / 40596 , in correspondence with the preamble of claim 1 discloses a set of section elements which makes it possible to manufacture sliding window and door frames, which comprises a first series of section elements making it possible to manufacture fixed frames and / or movable with an angle of intersection of substantially 45 °, and a second series of section elements for manufacturing fixed and / or mobile frames with an angle of intersection of substantially 90 °. The fixed frame section elements comprise a pair of longitudinal rails in which casters mounted on the movable frames engage. The pairs of rails of the fixed frame section elements of the first series have a spacing equal to that of the rails of the section elements of the fixed frames of the second series, so that one can easily couple the fixed frames constituted by the section elements of the first series and the movable frames constituted by the section elements of the first or the second series.

Aussi, la présente invention a-t-elle pour but de réaliser, dans le contexte d'application défini en tête du présent mémoire, un châssis de fermeture de type coulissant ou analogue avec moyens d'évacuation de fluide uniquement dans un sens, qui soit d'une structure relativement simple, avec des éléments faciles à réaliser et à assembler, et donc d'un prix de revient faible par rapport à d'autres profilés du même type, et qui en outre présente un encombrement en hauteur très faible pour éviter l'inconvénient majeur mentionné ci-dessus des profilés de même type de l'art antérieur.Also, is the present invention intended to provide, in the application context defined at the head of the present invention, a sliding-type closure frame or the like with fluid-only discharge means in a sense, which is a relatively simple structure, with elements easy to achieve and assemble, and therefore a low cost compared to other profiles of the same type, and which also has a footprint very low height to avoid the major drawback mentioned above profiles of the same type of the prior art.

Plus précisément, la présente invention a pour objet un châssis de fermeture de type coulissant ou analogue, comprenant un profilé ce dernier comportant :

  • une embase,
  • au moins un rail de guidage d'un ouvrant coulissant, solidaire d'une face de ladite embase, ledit rail étant constitué de deux première et seconde parois sensiblement parallèles entre elles et sensiblement perpendiculaires à ladite face de l'embase à une distance non nulle l'une de l'autre pour délimiter un espace inter-parois total, le rail comportant, en son sommet défini entre les extrémités libres des première et seconde parois opposées à celles qui sont solidaires de l'embase, un chemin de roulement du coulissant enclipsé sur lesdites deux extrémités libres des première et seconde parois et entre celles-ci et des moyens d'évacuation de fluide dans un sens, ces dits moyens d'évacuation de fluide dans un sens comportant au moins un premier orifice réalisé dans la première paroi et au moins un second orifice réalisé dans la seconde paroi, les au moins deux premier et second orifices étant réalisés de façon à être bordés sensiblement par ladite face de l'embase, le châssis étant caractérisé en ce que lesdits moyens d'évacuation de fluide dans un sens comportent des moyens de clapet montés dans ledit espace inter-parois total, ces moyens de clapet étant en outre agencés pour réaliser une communication fluidique dans un premier sens allant du premier orifice vers le second et pour empêcher cette communication fluidique dans le second sens opposé au premier.
More specifically, the subject of the present invention is a sliding-type closure frame or the like, comprising a profile, the latter comprising:
  • a base,
  • at least one guide rail of a sliding leaf, integral with one face of said base, said rail consisting of two first and second walls substantially parallel to each other and substantially perpendicular to said face of the base at a non-zero distance; one of the other to delimit a total inter-wall space, the rail comprising, at its apex defined between the free ends of the first and second walls opposite to those which are integral with the base, a rolling track of the sliding clipped onto said two free ends of the first and second walls and between them and means for discharging fluid in one direction, said means for discharging fluid in a direction comprising at least a first orifice made in the first wall; and at least one second orifice formed in the second wall, the at least two first and second orifices being made to be substantially bordered by said face of the base, the frame being characterized in that said means for discharging fluid in one direction comprises valve means mounted in said total inter-wall space, said valve means being furthermore arranged to carry out fluid communication in a first direction from the first port to the second and to prevent this fluid communication in the second direction opposite to the first.

La disposition des moyens de clapet à l'intérieur de l'espace inter-parois permet d'utiliser cet espace, inutilisé auparavant à cet effet, et de réduire très significativement la hauteur du rail et donc du profilé, en ce que la hauteur des moyens de clapet peut être placée en parallèle et non plus en série comme dans l'art antérieur avec la hauteur d'autres éléments constitutifs du seuil, comme la hauteur des parois constitutives du rail ou la hauteur du cadre de l'ouvrant guidé sur le rail. Par coulissant ou analogue, on entend une fermeture comportant le cas échéant plusieurs vantaux dont un au moins est coulissant.The arrangement of the valve means within the inter-wall space makes it possible to use this space, previously unused for this purpose, and to very significantly reduce the height of the rail and thus of the profile, in that the height of the valve means can be placed in parallel and no longer in series as in the prior art with the height of other elements constituting the threshold, as the height of the constituent walls of the rail or the height of the frame of the opening guided on the rail. By sliding or the like is meant a closure including if necessary several leaves, at least one of which is sliding.

Selon une caractéristique avantageuse, lesdits moyens de clapet comportent :

  • means for tending to maintain said slat in its first position.

Selon cette caractéristique, l'espace inter-parois est utilisé pour le débattement de la lamelle, malgré son accessibilité limitée et l'étroitesse de cet espace en raison par exemple du fait qu'il est généralement nettement inférieur à l'épaisseur du cadre de l'ouvrant.According to this characteristic, the inter-wall space is used for the movement of the strip, despite its limited accessibility and the narrowness of this space due for example because it is generally significantly smaller than the thickness of the frame. opening.

Selon une caractéristique avantageuse, les moyens pour monter ladite lamelle en rotation dans ledit espace inter-parois total et par rapport à la première paroi comportent :

  • au moins une cloison,
  • au moins une percée réalisée dans ladite cloison,
  • des moyens pour monter ladite cloison en coopération avec ledit rail dans ledit espace inter-parois total et sensiblement au contact relativement étanche de la face interne de la première paroi de façon que ladite percée soit sensiblement en regard du premier orifice et qu'elle ait un côté sensiblement situé sur ladite face de ladite embase,
  • des moyens pour monter ladite lamelle en rotation par rapport à ladite cloison de façon que ladite cloison soit constamment située entre ladite première paroi et ladite lamelle et que, dans sa première position, ladite lamelle obture ladite percée et en conséquence le premier orifice.
According to an advantageous characteristic, the means for mounting said lamella in rotation in said total inter-wall space and with respect to the first wall comprise:
  • at least one partition,
  • at least one breakthrough made in said partition,
  • means for mounting said partition in cooperation with said rail in said total inter-wall space and substantially in relatively tight contact with the inner face of the first wall so that said piercing is substantially opposite the first orifice and has a side substantially located on said face of said base,
  • means for mounting said sipe in rotation with respect to said partition so that said partition is constantly located between said first wall and said sipe and that, in its first position, said sipe closes said breakthrough and consequently the first orifice.

Cette caractéristique permet un montage aisé et un bon fonctionnement dans un sens des moyens de clapet dans l'espace inter-parois.This feature allows easy mounting and operation in one direction of the valve means in the inter-wall space.

Selon une caractéristique avantageuse, les moyens pour monter ladite cloison en coopération avec ledit rail comportent au moins un pied solidaire de ladite cloison pour former avec elle une pièce sensiblement en L et des moyens pour lier solidairement, dans ledit espace inter-parois total, l'ensemble dudit pied et de ladite cloison avec ledit rail.According to an advantageous characteristic, the means for mounting said partition in cooperation with said rail comprise at least one foot integral with said partition to form with it a substantially L-shaped piece and means for binding integrally, in said total inter-wall space, together said foot and said partition with said rail.

Selon une caractéristique avantageuse, lesdits moyens pour lier solidairement, dans ledit espace inter-parois total, ledit ensemble pied-cloison avec ledit rail comportent :

  • au moins deux première et seconde nervures solidaires respectivement des première et seconde parois, ces deux nervures étant respectivement réalisées en saillie sur les faces internes des première et seconde parois vers ledit espace inter-parois total en délimitant, entre leurs extrémités libres, un espace inter-nervures, ces deux nervures étant situées sensiblement dans un même plan à une distance de ladite embase au moins égale à la hauteur de ladite cloison prise selon une direction perpendiculaire à ladite embase, de façon que ledit pied soit apte à se loger au contact d'au moins la face de la première nervure tournée vers ladite face de ladite embase, et

According to an advantageous characteristic, said means for integrally linking, in said total inter-wall space, said foot-wall assembly with said rail comprise:
  • at least two first and second ribs secured respectively to the first and second walls, these two ribs respectively being projecting on the inner faces of the first and second walls towards said total inter-wall space delimiting, between their free ends, an inter-rib space, these two ribs being located substantially in the same plane at a distance from said base at less than the height of said partition taken in a direction perpendicular to said base, so that said foot is adapted to be housed in contact with at least the face of the first rib facing said face of said base, and
  • means for fastening the foot-wall assembly by clipping into said first partial inter-wall space delimited by the first and second walls, the first and second ribs and the base.

Cette caractéristique offre une solution avantageuse de positionnement et de maintien des moyens de clapet dans l'espace inter-parois accessible seulement par une fente longitudinale dans le haut du rail.This feature provides an advantageous solution for positioning and maintaining the valve means in the inter-wall space accessible only by a longitudinal slot in the top of the rail.

La présente invention concerne un châssis de fermeture de type coulissant ou analogue, comprenant un profilé Pro comportant une embase 10 qui comprend une face supérieure 11. Un mode de réalisation industriel d'une telle embase est illustré sur les figures 2 et 4.The present invention relates to a sliding-type closure frame or the like, comprising a profile Pro having a base 10 which comprises an upper face 11. An industrial embodiment of such a base is illustrated on the Figures 2 and 4 .

Le profilé Pro comporte aussi au moins un rail 12 solidaire de la face 11 de l'embase 10, ce rail étant constitué de deux première et seconde parois 14, 16 sensiblement parallèles entre elles et sensiblement perpendiculaires à la face supérieure 11 de l'embase 10 à une distance non nulle l'une de l'autre pour délimiter un espace inter-parois total 18, et des moyens d'évacuation de fluide 19 dans un sens.The profile Pro also comprises at least one rail 12 integral with the face 11 of the base 10, this rail consisting of two first and second walls 14, 16 substantially parallel to each other and substantially perpendicular to the upper face 11 of the base 10 at a non-zero distance from each other to delimit a total inter-wall space 18, and fluid discharge means 19 in one direction.

Dans l'exemple représenté sur la figure 2 ou 4, le profilé Pro est un profilé dit à rupture de pont thermique, et comprend de manière connue deux profilés dit intérieur et extérieur, respectivement monobloc et comportant chacun dans l'exemple un rail 12 délimitant un espace inter-parois total 18, longitudinal, fixe, de section transversale réduite et constante, et accessible seulement par l'ouverture longitudinale supérieure définie entre les extrémités libres supérieures des parois constitutives du rail. Les profilés intérieur et extérieur sont respectivement monoblocs, dans l'exemple des profilés métalliques reliés entre eux par des barrettes isolantes de manière connue comme représenté sur les figures 2 et 4.In the example shown on the figure 2 or 4 , the profile Pro is a so-called thermal break profile, and comprises in known manner two so-called inner and outer sections, respectively one-piece and each comprising in the example a rail 12 defining a total inter-wall space 18, longitudinal, fixed , of reduced cross section and constant, and accessible only by the upper longitudinal opening defined between the upper free ends of the constituent walls of the rail. The inner and outer profiles are respectively monobloc, in the example of the metal profiles interconnected by insulating bars in a known manner as shown in FIGS. Figures 2 and 4 .

En outre, comme représenté sur la figure 4, le châssis comprend deux ouvrants coulissants Cou1 et Cou2, guidés sur les deux rails 12 du profilé intérieur et du profilé extérieur, respectivement, chaque ouvrant coulissant Cou1 et Cou2 comportant un cadre dont une partie basse au moins couvre de manière connue les surfaces extérieures des deux première et seconde parois 14, 16 de son rail respectif, comme représenté sur les figures 2 et 4. Ce recouvrement est destiné à former de manière connue, pour un rail et un coulissant associé, par exemple un type d'étanchéité basse au moyen de deux profilés brosses (non représentés) fixés dans l'exemple sur le cadre ouvrant dans deux rainures en partie inférieure du cadre, respectivement disposées en vis-à-vis des deux surfaces extérieures des parois 14, 16 constitutives du rail, comme représenté sur la figure 4, et destinés à entrer en contact avec cette surface extérieure des parois 14, 16 du rail 12.In addition, as shown on the figure 4 , the frame comprises two sliding openings Cou1 and Cou2, guided on the two rails 12 of the inner profile and the outer profile, respectively, each sliding leaflet Cou1 and Cou2 comprising a frame of which at least a bottom part covers in known manner the outer surfaces of the two first and second walls 14, 16 of its respective rail, as shown in Figures 2 and 4 . This covering is intended to form in a known way, for a rail and an associated sliding, for example a low type of sealing by means of two brush profiles (not shown) fixed in the example on the frame opening in two grooves in part frame, respectively disposed opposite the two outer surfaces of the walls 14, 16 constituting the rail, as shown in FIG. figure 4 , and intended to come into contact with this outer surface of the walls 14, 16 of the rail 12.

Ces moyens d'évacuation de fluide 19 comportent au moins un premier orifice 21 réalisé dans la première paroi 14 et au moins un second orifice 22 réalisé dans la seconde paroi 16, ces premier et second orifices 21, 22 étant réalisés de façon à être bordés sensiblement par la face supérieure 11 de l'embase 10 ou à une distance la plus faible possible pour éviter de faire rebord et empêcher un écoulement de fluide comme il sera explicité ci-après. Ces moyens d'évacuation de fluide 19 comportent en outre des moyens de clapet 30 montés dans l'espace inter-parois total 18.These fluid evacuation means 19 comprise at least one first orifice 21 made in the first wall 14 and at least one second orifice 22 made in the second wall 16, these first and second orifices 21, 22 being made to be bordered substantially by the upper face 11 of the base 10 or at the smallest possible distance to avoid flange and prevent flow of fluid as will be explained below. These fluid evacuation means 19 further comprise valve means 30 mounted in the total inter-wall space 18.

Ces moyens de clapet 30 sont agencés pour réaliser une communication fluidique dans un premier sens Ps1 allant du premier orifice 21 vers le second 22 et pour empêcher cette communication fluidique dans le second sens Ps2 opposé au premier, figure 1.These valve means 30 are arranged to make a fluid communication in a first direction Ps1 from the first orifice 21 to the second 22 and to prevent this fluid communication in the second direction Ps2 opposite to the first, figure 1 .

Selon une réalisation préférentielle, ces moyens de clapet 30 comportent au moins une lamelle 40, des moyens 41 pour monter la lamelle en rotation dans l'espace inter-parois total 18 et par rapport à la première paroi 14 de façon que cette lamelle soit apte à prendre au moins deux première et seconde positions dans l'espace inter-parois total 18, une première position, illustrée en traits continus sur la figure 1, dans laquelle elle obture le premier orifice 21 pour ne pas permettre un écoulement Ps2 à travers ce premier orifice 21, et une seconde position, illustrée en traits interrompus sur cette même figure 1, dans laquelle elle libère le passage par le premier orifice 21 de façon à permettre un écoulement de fluide Ps1 à travers ce premier orifice 21, et des moyens pour tendre à maintenir la lamelle 40 dans sa première position, c'est-à-dire pour la ramener automatiquement dans cette première position si, après avoir été déplacée sous l'effet d'une force extérieure, cette force extérieure est annulée.According to a preferred embodiment, these valve means 30 comprise at least one strip 40, means 41 for mounting the strip in rotation in the total inter-wall space 18 and with respect to the first wall 14 so that the strip is suitable taking at least two first and second positions in the total inter-wall space 18, a first position, shown in solid lines on the figure 1 in which it closes the first orifice 21 so as not to allow a flow Ps2 through this first orifice 21, and a second position, illustrated in broken lines on this same figure 1 , in which it releases the passage through the first orifice 21 so as to allow a fluid flow Ps1 through this first orifice 21, and means to tend to maintain the blade 40 in its first position, that is to say to automatically return it to this first position if, after being moved under the effect of an external force, this external force is canceled.

Toujours dans un mode de réalisation préférentiel, les moyens 41 pour monter la lamelle 40 en rotation dans l'espace inter-parois total 18 et par rapport à la première paroi 14 comportent au moins une cloison 43 dans laquelle est réalisée moins une percée 44 (deux percées sont représentées sur les figures 2 et 3), des moyens pour monter la cloison 43 en coopération avec le rail 12 dans l'espace inter-parois total 18 et sensiblement au contact relativement étanche de la face interne de la première paroi 14 de façon que la (ou les) percée 44 soit sensiblement en regard du (ou des) premier orifice 21 et qu'elle ait un côté sensiblement situé sur la face 11 de l'embase 10, et des moyens 41 pour monter la lamelle 40 en rotation par rapport à la cloison 43 de façon que la cloison 43 soit constamment située entre la première paroi 14 et la lamelle 40 et que, dans sa première position, la lamelle 40 obture la percée 44 et en conséquence le premier orifice 21.Still in a preferred embodiment, the means 41 for mounting the slat 40 in rotation in the total inter-wall space 18 and with respect to the first wall 14 comprise at least one partition 43 in which is made less a breakthrough 44 ( two breakthroughs are represented on the Figures 2 and 3 ), means for mounting the partition 43 in cooperation with the rail 12 in the total inter-wall space 18 and substantially in relatively tight contact with the inner face of the first wall 14 so that the (or) breakthrough 44 is substantially facing the (or) first orifice 21 and has a side substantially located on the face 11 of the base 10, and means 41 for mounting the blade 40 in rotation relative to the partition 43 of way that the partition 43 is constantly located between the first wall 14 and the lamella 40 and that, in its first position, the lamella 40 closes the breakthrough 44 and consequently the first orifice 21.

En effet, comme la cloison 43 est au contact relativement étanche avec la face interne de la première paroi 14, que la percée 44 et l'orifice 21 sont sensiblement en regard l'un de l'autre, si la lamelle obture la percée 44, elle obture de ce fait l'orifice 21, ce qui a pour effet d'empêcher un écoulement Ps2 de fluide dans le sens allant du côté 32 du rail 12 vers le côté 31 de ce même rail 12. Il sera explicité ci-après qu'un écoulement de fluide dans le sens opposé Ps1 sera possible, du fait que la lamelle est montée pivotante sur la cloison 43.Indeed, as the partition 43 is in relatively tight contact with the inner face of the first wall 14, the breakthrough 44 and the orifice 21 are substantially opposite one another, if the blade closes the breakthrough 44 , it thus closes the orifice 21, which has the effect of preventing a flow Ps2 of fluid in the direction from the side 32 of the rail 12 to the side 31 of the same rail 12. It will be explained below that a flow of fluid in the opposite direction Ps1 will be possible, because the slat is pivotally mounted on the partition 43.

De préférence, les moyens pour tendre à maintenir la lamelle 40 dans sa première position sont constitués par des moyens de rappel élastique. Selon une réalisation préférentielle, ces moyens de rappel élastique sont constitués, comme plus particulièrement visible sur la figure 3 en combinaison avec les figures 1 et 2, par le fait que la lamelle 40 est obtenue par une découpe partielle d'une feuille 45 de matériau présentant une certaine élasticité, comme par exemple une feuille de matière plastique présentant des caractéristiques d'élasticité, ou toute autre feuille fine élastique étanche à l'eau et à l'air, les parties 48 reliant la lamelle 40 avec les portions restantes 46 de la feuille partiellement découpée 45 constituant des charnières de rotation 47 par déformation élastique du matériau de ces parties de liaison 48 entre les portions de feuille restantes 46 et la lamelle 40.Preferably, the means for tending to maintain the blade 40 in its first position are constituted by elastic return means. According to a preferred embodiment, these elastic return means are constituted, as more particularly visible on the figure 3 in combination with figures 1 and 2 in that the blade 40 is obtained by a partial cutting of a sheet 45 of material having a certain elasticity, such as for example a plastic sheet having elastic characteristics, or any other thin elastic sheet that is watertight. water and air, the portions 48 connecting the blade 40 with the remaining portions 46 of the partially cut sheet 45 constituting rotation hinges 47 by elastic deformation of the material of these connecting portions 48 between the remaining leaf portions 46 and the lamella 40.

Dans ce mode de réalisation de la lamelle 40 à partir d'une feuille 45 comme décrit ci-dessus, les moyens 41 pour monter la lamelle en rotation par rapport à la cloison 43 sont constitués par des moyens de fixation 49 des portions restantes 46 de la feuille 45 sur la face de la cloison 43 qui est opposée à celle qui est au contact de la face interne de la première paroi 14, par exemple au moyen de plots de fixation aptes à coopérer avec des trous réalisés dans les parties restantes 46 de la feuille 45, ces plots étant ensuite matés pour éviter que la feuille ne se détache de la cloison 43.In this embodiment of the strip 40 from a sheet 45 as described above, the means 41 for mounting the strip in rotation relative to the wall 43 are constituted by fixing means 49 of the remaining portions 46 of the sheet 45 on the face of the partition 43 which is opposite to that which is in contact with the inner face of the first wall 14, for example by means of fixing studs adapted to cooperate with holes made in the remaining parts 46 of the sheet 45, these pads being then matted to prevent the sheet from being detached from the partition 43.

Quant aux moyens pour monter la cloison 43 en coopération avec le rail 12, ils comportent, dans un mode de réalisation avantageux comme celui illustré sur les figures, au moins un pied 50 solidaire de la cloison 43 pour former avec elle une pièce sensiblement en "L" et des moyens pour lier solidairement, dans l'espace inter-parois total 18, l'ensemble du pied 50 et de la cloison 43, ci-après désigné "ensemble pied-cloison", avec le rail 12.As for the means for mounting the partition 43 in cooperation with the rail 12, they comprise, in an advantageous embodiment such as that illustrated in the figures, at least one foot 50 integral with the partition 43 for forming with it a substantially "L" -shaped piece and means for binding integrally, in the total inter-wall space 18, the whole of the foot 50 and the partition 43, hereinafter referred to as "foot-wall assembly", with the rail 12.

Ces moyens pour lier solidairement, dans l'espace inter-parois total 18, l'ensemble pied-cloison avec le rail 12 comportent au moins deux première et seconde nervures 51, 52 solidaires respectivement des première et seconde parois 14, 16, ces deux nervures étant respectivement réalisées en saillie sur les faces internes de ces première et seconde parois 14, 16 dans l'espace inter-parois total 18 en délimitant, entre leurs extrémités libres, un espace inter-nervures 53, et des moyens pour fixer de préférence par enclipsage l'ensemble pied-cloison dans le premier espace inter-parois partiel 55 délimité par les première et seconde parois 14, 16, les première et seconde nervures 51, 52 et l'embase 10.These means for binding integrally, in the total inter-wall space 18, the foot-wall assembly with the rail 12 comprise at least two first and second ribs 51, 52 secured respectively to the first and second walls 14, 16, these two ribs being respectively projecting on the internal faces of these first and second walls 14, 16 in the total inter-wall space 18 delimiting, between their free ends, an inter-rib space 53, and means for fixing preferably by clipping the foot-partition assembly into the first partial inter-wall space 55 delimited by the first and second walls 14, 16, the first and second ribs 51, 52 and the base 10.

Les deux nervures 51, 52 sont avantageusement situées sensiblement dans un même plan à une distance de l'embase 10 au moins égale à la hauteur de la cloison 43 prise selon une direction perpendiculaire à la face 11 de l'embase 10, de façon que le pied 50 soit apte à se loger au contact d'au moins la face de la première nervure 51 tournée vers la face 11 de l'embase 10.The two ribs 51, 52 are advantageously located substantially in the same plane at a distance from the base 10 at least equal to the height of the partition 43 taken in a direction perpendicular to the face 11 of the base 10, so that the foot 50 is adapted to be housed in contact with at least the face of the first rib 51 facing the face 11 of the base 10.

Selon une caractéristique importante de l'invention, la largeur du pied 50, prise selon une direction perpendiculaire aux première et seconde parois 14, 16, est au plus égale à la largeur de l'espace inter-nervures 53, de façon que l'ensemble pied-cloison puisse être introduit dans le premier espace inter-parois partiel 55 en passant entre les deux extrémité libres des deux nervures 51, 52, dans la position comme celle illustrée sur les figures 1 et 4.According to an important characteristic of the invention, the width of the foot 50, taken in a direction perpendicular to the first and second walls 14, 16, is at most equal to the width of the inter-rib space 53, so that the foot-wall assembly can be introduced into the first partial inter-wall space 55 by passing between the two free ends of the two ribs 51, 52, in the position as that illustrated in FIGS. figures 1 and 4 .

Selon une réalisation très préférentielle, les moyens pour fixer par enclipsage l'ensemble pied-cloison dans le premier espace inter-parois partiel 55 comportent au moins une première patte clip résiliente 60, des moyens pour solidariser une première extrémité de cette première patte clip 60 à au moins l'un des deux éléments de l'ensemble pied-cloison, la première patte clip 60 étant en outre agencée de façon que, lorsque l'ensemble pied-cloison est positionné dans le premier espace inter-parois partiel 55, la cloison 43 étant au contact de la face interne de la première paroi 14, l'autre seconde extrémité de cette première patte clip 60 vienne buter contre la face de la seconde nervure 52 tournée vers la face supérieure 11 de l'embase 10, figures 1 et 4.According to a very preferred embodiment, the means for fastening the foot-wall assembly in the first partial inter-wall space 55 comprise at least a first resilient clip lug 60, means for securing a first end of this first clip lug 60 at least one of the two elements of the foot-wall assembly, the first clip lug 60 being further arranged so that when the foot-wall assembly is positioned in the first inter-wall space 55, the partition 43 being in contact with the inner face of the first wall 14, the other second end of this first clip lug 60 abuts against the face of the second rib 52 facing the upper face 11 of the base 10, figures 1 and 4 .

Ces moyens pour fixer par enclipsage l'ensemble pied-cloison dans le premier espace inter-parois partiel 55 comportent en outre au moins une seconde patte clip 61, des moyens pour solidariser une première extrémité de cette seconde patte clip 61 à au moins l'un des éléments de l'ensemble pied-cloison, la seconde patte clip 61 étant en outre agencée de façon que, lorsque l'ensemble pied-cloison est positionné dans le premier espace inter-paroi partiel 55, la cloison 43 étant au contact de la face interne de la première paroi 14, l'autre seconde extrémité de la seconde patte clip 61 vienne au contact du bord libre de la première nervure 51 et débouche, en traversant l'espace inter-nervures 53, dans le second espace inter-parois partiel 56 qui est complémentaire du premier espace inter-parois partiel 55 dans le premier espace inter-parois total 18.These means for securing the foot-wall assembly in the first partial inter-wall space 55 furthermore comprise at least one second clip lug 61, means for securing a first end of this second clip lug 61 to at least one one of the elements of the foot-partition assembly, the second clip lug 61 being furthermore arranged so that, when the foot-partition assembly is positioned in the first partial inter-wall space 55, the partition 43 being in contact with the inner face of the first wall 14, the other second end of the second clip lug 61 comes into contact with the free edge of the first rib 51 and opens, through the inter-ribbed space 53, in the second interspace. partial wall 56 which is complementary to the first partial inter-wall space 55 in the first total inter-wall space 18.

Selon une réalisation préférentielle, les moyens pour solidariser les premières extrémités respectivement des première et seconde pattes clips 60, 61 à au moins l'un des éléments de l'ensemble pied-cloison sont constitués par une membrane 64 sensiblement définie dans un plan perpendiculaire à la cloison 43 et au pied 50 et fixée solidairement à deux bords respectivement du pied 50 et de la cloison 43, et des moyens pour solidariser les premières extrémités respectivement des première et seconde pattes clips 60, 61 avec la membrane 64. De cette façon, les deux pattes clips 60, 61 étant solidaires de la membrane 64, qui est elle-même solidaire de la cloison 43 et du pied 50, elles sont solidaires d'au moins l'un des deux éléments de l'ensemble pied-cloison.According to a preferred embodiment, the means for securing the first ends respectively of the first and second clip lugs 60, 61 to at least one of the elements of the foot-wall assembly are constituted by a membrane 64 substantially defined in a plane perpendicular to the partition 43 and the foot 50 and secured integrally to two edges respectively of the foot 50 and the partition 43, and means for securing the first ends respectively of the first and second clip tabs 60, 61 with the membrane 64. In this way, the two clips 60, 61 being integral with the membrane 64, which is itself integral with the partition 43 and the foot 50, they are integral with at least one of the two elements of the whole foot-partition.

Toujours dans le but d'obtenir un positionnement parfait de la cloison 43 contre la face interne de la première paroi 14, le profilé avec moyens d'évacuation de fluide selon l'invention comporte avantageusement en outre une patte clip de positionnement 70 et des moyens pour solidariser la patte clip de positionnement sur le pied 50, cette patte clip de positionnement 70 étant en outre agencée de façon qu'elle soit apte à traverser l'espace inter-nervures 53 et à venir en appui sur l'extrémité libre de la seconde nervure 52 en engendrant une force élastique pour plaquer la cloison 43 contre la face interne de la première paroi 14 et maintenir ainsi la percée 44 sensiblement en regard du premier orifice 21.Still in order to obtain a perfect positioning of the partition 43 against the inner face of the first wall 14, the profile with fluid discharge means according to the invention advantageously further comprises a positioning clip tab 70 and means for securing the positioning clip lug on the foot 50, this positioning clip lug 70 being furthermore arranged so that it is able to pass through the inter-ribbed space 53 and to bear on the free end of the second rib 52 by generating an elastic force to press the partition 43 against the inner face of the first wall 14 and thus maintain the breakthrough 44 substantially facing the first orifice 21.

Dans le mode de réalisation décrit ci-dessus, il est fait mention d'au moins deux première et seconde pattes clips 60, 61 et d'une seule membrane 64. Cependant, il est tout à fait préférable que le profilé Pro avec moyens d'évacuation de fluide comporte deux couples de deux première et seconde pattes clips 60, 61 en association avec une membrane 64, c'est-à-dire un couple à chaque extrémité de l'ensemble pied-cloison comme plus particulièrement visible sur les figures 2 et 3.In the embodiment described above, mention is made of at least two first and second clip tabs 60, 61 and a single diaphragm 64. However, it is quite preferable that the profile fluid discharge comprises two pairs of two first and second clip tabs 60, 61 in association with a membrane 64, that is to say a torque at each end of the foot-wall assembly as more particularly visible on the Figures 2 and 3 .

Ainsi la (ou les) première patte clip 60 permet de maintenir l'ensemble pied-cloison dans l'espace inter-parois partiel 55, et la (ou les) seconde patte clip 61 évite son basculement. Quant à la patte clip de positionnement 70, elle permet un parfait plaquage de la cloison 43 contre la face interne de la première paroi 14, avec la percée 44 en regard du premier orifice 21.Thus the (or) first clip lug 60 makes it possible to maintain the foot-partition assembly in the partial inter-wall space 55, and the (or the) second clip lug 61 prevents it from tilting. As for the positioning clip tab 70, it allows a perfect plating of the partition 43 against the inner face of the first wall 14, with the breakthrough 44 facing the first orifice 21.

La structure telle que décrite ci-dessus du profilé avec moyens d'évacuation de fluide du châssis de fermeture selon l'invention comme décrite permet de réaliser l'ensemble des éléments : la cloison 43, le pied 50, la (ou les) membrane 64, les deux (ou quatre) première et seconde pattes clips 60, 61 et la patte clip de positionnement 70, en une seule pièce par exemple par moulage dans un matériau plastique.The structure as described above of the profile with fluid evacuation means of the closure frame according to the invention as described allows to achieve all the elements: the partition 43, the foot 50, the (or) membrane 64, the two (or four) first and second clips 60, 61 and the positioning clip 70, in one piece for example by molding in a plastic material.

Selon une caractéristique additionnelle de l'invention, le rail 12 comporte, en son sommet 80 défini entre les extrémités libres des première et seconde parois 14, 16 opposées à celles qui sont solidaires de l'embase 10, et comportant ou non des parties rentrantes (comme illustré), un chemin de roulement 81 enclipsé sur ces deux extrémités libres des première et seconde parois 14, 16 et entre celles-ci de façon qu'une partie 82 de ce chemin de roulement 81 plonge dans l'espace inter-parois total 18 pour venir avantageusement se clipser respectivement sur les deux bords libres des deux nervures 51, 52, figure 1, en passant à travers l'espace inter-nervures 53, cette partie 82 de chemin de roulement comportant en outre une découpe 84 lui permettant de se positionner au moins autour du pied 50.According to an additional feature of the invention, the rail 12 comprises, at its top 80 defined between the free ends of the first and second walls 14, 16 opposite to those which are integral with the base 10, and with or without reentrant parts (as illustrated), a race 81 clipped on these two free ends of the first and second walls 14, 16 and between them so that a portion 82 of the raceway 81 plunges into the inter-wall space total 18 to come advantageously snap respectively on the two free edges of the two ribs 51, 52, figure 1 , passing through the inter-rib space 53, this portion 82 of the raceway further comprising a cutout 84 allowing it to be positioned at least around the foot 50.

En conséquence, pour permettre l'introduction de l'ensemble pied-cloison dans le premier espace inter-parois partiel 55, la largeur du pied 50, prise selon une direction perpendiculaire aux première et seconde parois 14, 16, est au plus égale à la plus petite des distances suivantes : la largeur, prise selon la même direction, de l'espace inter-nervures 53 et la distance séparant les extrémités libres des deux parois 14, 16 entre lesquelles plonge la partie 82 du chemin de roulement 81.Consequently, to allow the introduction of the foot-wall assembly in the first partial inter-wall space 55, the width of the foot 50, taken in a direction perpendicular to the first and second walls 14, 16, is at most equal to the smallest of the following distances: the width, taken according to the same direction, the inter-rib space 53 and the distance separating the free ends of the two walls 14, 16 between which the portion 82 of the raceway 81 plunges.

Il est de plus possible, dans un autre mode de réalisation avantageux, que le profilé Pro comporte en outre une rampe 90 et des moyens 92 pour associer la rampe 90 à l'embase 10, par exemple de type crochets ou analogues comme illustré sur la figure 4, la rampe comportant en outre des trous d'évacuation 91 réalisés en correspondance avec au moins l'un des premier et second orifices 21, 22, pour permettre l'évacuation de l'eau.It is also possible, in another advantageous embodiment, that the profile Pro further comprises a ramp 90 and means 92 for associating the ramp 90 to the base 10, for example hooks or the like as shown in FIG. figure 4 , the ramp further comprising discharge holes 91 made in correspondence with at least one of the first and second orifices 21, 22, to allow the evacuation of water.

Mais, comme, de par la structure décrite ci-dessus du profilé Pro, la hauteur du rail 12 est relativement faible, de toute façon nettement plus faible que celle des rails pour les profilés de même type selon l'art antérieur, la rampe 90 peut avoir une pente et une longueur faibles, limitant ainsi l'encombrement en largeur total du profilé Pro, tout en permettant, par exemple à un fauteuil roulant évoqué schématiquement avec une grande roue référencée Fau (figure 4), de très facilement franchir un tel profilé quand il constitue la partie basse d'un châssis de fermeture par exemple à coulissant.However, since, by virtue of the structure described above of the Pro profile, the height of the rail 12 is relatively small, in any case much smaller than that of the rails for the profiles of the same type according to the prior art, the ramp 90 may have a low slope and length, thus limiting the overall width of the profile Pro, while allowing, for example to a wheelchair evoked schematically with a large wheel referenced Fau ( figure 4 ), very easily cross such a profile when it is the lower part of a closing frame for example sliding.

Le profilé avec moyens d'évacuation de fluide du châssis de fermeture selon l'invention fonctionne de la façon suivante :

  • On suppose que, pour quelque raison que ce soit, un fluide, comme de l'eau, s'est accumulé sur la face 11 de l'embase 10 du côté 31 du rail 12.
The profile with fluid evacuation means of the closure frame according to the invention operates as follows:
  • It is assumed that, for whatever reason, a fluid, such as water, has accumulated on the face 11 of the base 10 of the side 31 of the rail 12.

Ce fluide va passer par le premier orifice 21 et la percée 44, et, sous l'action de son poids, il va faire passer la lamelle 40 de sa première position (en traits continus, figure 1) à sa seconde position (en traits interrompus, figure 1), puis il va s'écouler Ps1 par le second orifice 22 et, éventuellement comme dans le cas de la réalisation selon la figure 4, par les orifices 91, pour finalement s'évacuer du côté 32 du rail 12.This fluid will pass through the first orifice 21 and the breakthrough 44, and, under the action of its weight, it will pass the strip 40 from its first position (in continuous lines, figure 1 ) at its second position (in broken lines, figure 1 ), then it will flow Ps1 by the second orifice 22 and, possibly as in the case of the embodiment according to the figure 4 , through the orifices 91, to finally evacuate the side 32 of the rail 12.

L'écoulement Ps1 du fluide sera facilité si l'embase 10 est prévue avec une très légère pente, un point haut du côté 31 du rail 12 et un point bas de l'autre côté 32.The flow Ps1 of the fluid will be facilitated if the base 10 is provided with a very slight slope, a high point on the side 31 of the rail 12 and a low point on the other side 32.

Quand tout le fluide, ou au moins sa plus grande partie, est évacué, la lamelle 40 va revenir automatiquement dans sa première position pour obturer la percée 44 et en conséquence le premier orifice 21.When all the fluid, or at least most of it, is evacuated, the lamella 40 will automatically return to its first position to close the breakthrough 44 and consequently the first orifice 21.

S'il se produit en revanche une tentative d'écoulement Ps2 d'un fluide gazeux et/ou liquide, par exemple du vent avec ou sans pluie dans le cas d'un bâtiment, depuis le second orifice 22 vers le premier 21, le fluide va tendre à plaquer encore plus la lamelle 40 sur la percée 44 et son passage vers le côté 31 du rail sera interdit, ce qui est primordial si, par exemple, ce côté 31 est l'intérieur d'un bâtiment et le côté 32 l'extérieur soumis à toutes les intempéries.If, on the other hand, there is an attempt to flow Ps2 from a gaseous and / or liquid fluid, for example wind with or without rain in the case of a building, from the second orifice 22 towards the first 21, the fluid will tend to flatten even more the strip 40 on the piercing 44 and its passage to the side 31 of the rail will be prohibited, which is essential if, for example, this side 31 is the interior of a building and the side 32 the outside subjected to all the bad weather.

Il est à noter que les figures 2 et 4 montrent en outre la présence d'un profilé 83 en double U, isolant, qui vient se clipser entre les deux rails que comporte le profilé Pro. Une des branches extérieures du double U s'étend contre la face extérieure de la paroi 14 du rail 12 et comporte un orifice pour le passage de fluides, en correspondance avec l'orifice 21 de la paroi 14. Il en est de même le cas échéant sur l'autre branche extérieure du double U qui s'étend contre la face extérieure d'une des parois du rail pour le coulissant Cou1.It should be noted that Figures 2 and 4 also show the presence of a section 83 double insulating U, which is clipped between the two rails that includes the Pro profile. One of the outer branches of the double U extends against the outer face of the wall 14 of the rail 12 and has an orifice for the passage of fluids, in correspondence with the orifice 21 of the wall 14. It is the same case on the other outer branch of the double U which extends against the outer face of one of the walls of the rail for the sliding Cou1.

Il est à noter que les figures 2 et 4 évoquent une réalisation de fermeture avec deux coulissants Cou1 et Cou2 parallèles, les coulissants Cou1 et Cou2 n'étant pas représentés sur la figure 2. La référence 31 représente le côté intérieur et la référence 32 le côté extérieur de la fermeture. Le coulissant Cou1, celui qui se trouve sur la partie droite du dessin, coopère avec un rail similaire au rail 12 décrit ci-dessus, dans lequel les moyens d'évacuation de fluide n'ont pas été représentés ; cependant, le rail pour le coulissant Cou1 peut également comporter des moyens d'évacuation de fluide selon les caractéristiques décrites ci-dessus, dans la partie longitudinale du rail séparant le coulissant Cou1 de l'extérieur lorsque ce dernier est fermé. Les moyens de clapet 30 seront disposés à l'intérieur du rail pour le coulissant Cou1, sur la paroi intérieure de façon que le débattement de la lamelle soit possible pour l'évacuation de l'eau. L'autre coulissant Cou2, celui qui se trouve sur la gauche du dessin, coopère avec le rail 12 du profilé Pro, qui comporte des moyens d'évacuation de fluide selon les caractéristiques décrites ci-dessus, comme représenté.It should be noted that Figures 2 and 4 evoke a closure embodiment with two sliding Cou1 and Cou2 parallel, sliding Cou1 and Cou2 not being represented on the figure 2 . The reference 31 represents the inner side and the reference 32 the outer side of the closure. The sliding Cou1, which is on the right side of the drawing, cooperates with a rail similar to the rail 12 described above, wherein the fluid discharge means have not been shown; however, the rail for the sliding Cou1 may also include means for discharging fluid according to the characteristics described above, in the longitudinal portion of the rail separating the sliding Cou1 from the outside when the latter is closed. The valve means 30 will be arranged inside the rail for the sliding Cou1, on the inner wall so that the movement of the slat is possible for the evacuation of water. The other sliding Cou2, which is on the left of the drawing, cooperates with the rail 12 of the Pro profile, which comprises fluid discharge means according to the characteristics described above, as shown.

  8. Closure frame according to claim 7, characterised in that said means for integrally connecting, in said total inter-wall space (18), said foot-partition assembly with said rail (12) comprise:
    • at least two first and second ribs (51, 52) integral respectively with the first and second walls (14, 16), these two ribs being respectively formed projecting from the inner face of the first and second walls (14, 16) towards said total inter-wall space (18) delineating, between their free ends, an inter-rib space (53), these two ribs (51, 52) being located substantially in the same plane at a distance from said base (10) at least equal to the height of said partition (43) taken in a direction perpendicular to said base (10), so that said foot (50) is capable of coming into contact with at least the face of the first rib (51) turned towards said face (11) of said base (10), and
    • means for fixing by snap attachment of the foot-partition assembly in said first partial inter-wall space (55) delineated by the first and second walls (14, 16), the first and second ribs (51, 52) and the base (10).
  9. Closure frame according to claim 8, characterised in that said means for fixing by snap attachment of the foot-partition assembly in said first partial inter-wall space (55) comprise at least one first resilient snap lug (60), means for securing a first end of said first snap lug (60) to at least one of the two elements of the foot-partition assembly, said first snap lug (60) being additionally arranged so that, when said the foot-partition assembly is positioned in said first partial inter-wall space (55), said partition (43) being in contact with the inner face of the first wall (14), the other second end of said first snap lug (60) comes into abutment against the face of said second rib (52) turned towards said face (11) of the base (10).
  10. Closure frame according to claim 9, characterised in that said means for fixing by snap attachment of the foot-partition assembly in said first partial inter-wall space (55) additionally comprise at least one second snap lug (61), means for securing a first end of said second snap lug (61) to at least one of the elements of said foot-partition assembly, said second snap lug (61) being additionally arranged so that, when said foot-partition assembly is positioned in said first partial inter-wall space (55), said partition (43) being in contact with the inner face of the first wall (14), the other second end of said second snap lug (61) comes into contact with free edge of said first rib (51) and emerges, passing though said inter-rib space (53), into said second partial inter-wall space (56) which is complementary to the first partial inter-wall space (55) in said first total inter-wall space (18).
  11. Closure frame according to claims 9 and 10, characterised in that said means for securing the first ends respectively of the first and second snap lugs (60, 61) to at least one of the elements of said foot-partition assembly comprise a membrane (64) substantially defined in a plane perpendicular to said partition (43) and to said foot (50) and integrally fixed to two edges respectively of the foot (50) and of the partition (43), and means for securing the first ends respectively of the first and second snap lug (60, 61) to said membrane (64).
  12. Closure frame according to any one of claims 7 to 11, characterised in that it comprises a positioning snap lug (70), means for securing said positioning snap lug on said foot (50), said positioning snap lug (70) being additionally arranged so that it is capable of traversing said inter-rib space (53) and to bear on the free end of the second rib (52) generating a resilient force to press said partition (43) against the inner face of the first wall (14), and thus hold said aperture (44) substantially opposite said first opening (21).
  13. Closure frame according to claim 12, characterised in that the said partition (43), said foot (50), said membrane (64), the two first and second snap lugs (60, 61) and said positioning lug (70) are made in one piece by moulding in a plastic material.
  14. Closure frame according to any one of claims 8 to 13, characterised in that the width of said foot (50), taken in a direction perpendicular to the first and second walls (14, 16), is at most equal to the width, taken in the same direction, of the inter-rib space (53).
  15. Closure frame according to any one of the preceding claims when it is dependent on claim 7, characterised in that the runner track (81) of said rail (12) has a part (82) projecting into said total inter-wall space (18), this part (82) of the runner track (81) incorporating a cutout (84) allowing it to be positioned at least around said foot (50).
  16. Closure frame according to claims 14 and 15, characterised in that the width of the foot (50), taken in a direction perpendicular to the first and second walls (14, 16), is at most equal to the shorter of the following distances: the width, taken in the same direction, of the inter-rib space (53) and the distance separating the free ends of the first and second walls (14, 16) between which projects the part (82) of the runner track (81).
  17. Closure frame according to any one of the preceding claims, characterised in that it additionally includes a ramp (90) and means (92) for associating said ramp (90) with said base, said ramp including drain holes (91) formed in correspondence with at least one of the first and second openings (21, 22).
