Description

DOMAINE D'APPLICATION DE L'INVENTIONFIELD OF APPLICATION OF THE INVENTION

La présente invention a trait au domaine des bassins d'agrément tels ceux utilisés pour les piscines, les spas etc... et notamment aux adaptations permettant d'en assurer la couverture dans les meilleures conditions.The present invention relates to the field of pleasure pools such as those used for swimming pools, spas etc ... and in particular to adaptations to ensure coverage in the best conditions.

DESCRIPTION DE L'ART ANTÉRIEURDESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART

Il existe dans l'art antérieur des abris pour bassins d'agrément tels ceux utilisés pour les piscines, les spas etc.... qui, formés d'éléments de toiture, sont susceptibles de passer d'une position déployée où les éléments de toiture sont disposés juxtaposés et où le bassin est couvert, à une position empilée où les éléments de toiture sont disposés l'un au-dessus de l'autre et où le bassin est partiellement ou complètement découvert.In the prior art there are shelters for pleasure pools such as those used for swimming pools, spas etc .... which, formed of roofing elements, are likely to pass from an extended position where the elements of roof are arranged juxtaposed and where the basin is covered, at a stacked position where the roof elements are arranged one above the other and where the basin is partially or completely uncovered.

Ce passage d'une configuration à une autre qui est bien entendu réversible est mis en oeuvre par des moyens de mise en mouvement motorisés ou non. Un exemple d'abri et de moyen de motorisation mettant en oeuvre le passage d'une position dépliée à une position déployée et vice-versa, est décrit dans le document W02005/052285 .This passage from one configuration to another, which is of course reversible, is implemented by motorized or non-motorized means of movement. An example of shelter and means of motorization implementing the transition from an unfolded position to an extended position and vice versa, is described in document W02005 / 052285 .

La demanderesse a constaté qu'en position empilée, lesdits éléments de toiture formaient un volume non négligeable disposé classiquement à l'extrémité du bassin et susceptible de nuire à l'esthétique générale du bassin. Cet inconvénient est d'autant plus dommageable dans une configuration où les éléments de toiture ont été choisis de forme aplatie pour éviter un trop gros volume au-dessus du bassin.The Applicant has found that stacked position, said roof elements formed a significant volume conventionally arranged at the end of the basin and likely to affect the overall aesthetics of the basin. This disadvantage is all the more damaging in a configuration where the roof elements have been chosen flattened to avoid too much volume above the basin.

De plus, lorsque les éléments de toiture sont empilés à l'intérieur d'une fosse prévue à cet effet, la profondeur et donc le coût de cette fosse dépendront de la hauteur du volume formé par l'empilement des éléments de toiture.In addition, when the roof elements are stacked inside a pit provided for this purpose, the depth and therefore the cost of this pit will depend on the height of the volume formed by the stacking of the elements of the roof. roof.

Une partie du volume défini par l'empilement est notamment due à la présence des moyens de roulement qui facilitent le déplacement en translation des éléments de toiture au-dessus du bassin lors de leur passage d'une disposition à une autre. Ces moyens de roulement doivent maintenir le rebord de l'élément de toiture à une hauteur suffisante par rapport à la surface supérieure du rebord du bassin pour qu'aucun obstacle ne vienne gêner les mouvements de translation. Or, les margelles qui forment classiquement le rebord des bassins sont susceptibles de constituer un volume en saillie vers le haut requérant que les moyens de roulement surélèvent les éléments de toiture par rapport au rebord supérieur du bassin.
Ces moyens de roulements contribuent alors largement à la hauteur non négligeable du volume constitué par les éléments de toiture en position empilée.Part of the volume defined by the stack is in particular due to the presence of rolling means which facilitate the translational movement of the roof elements above the basin during their passage from one arrangement to another. These rolling means must maintain the rim of the roof element at a sufficient height relative to the upper surface of the rim of the basin so that no obstacle comes to impede the translational movements. However, the rims that form conventionally the rim of the basins are likely to constitute an upward projecting volume requiring that the rolling means raise the roof elements relative to the upper rim of the basin.
These bearing means then contribute largely to the not insignificant height of the volume constituted by the roof elements in stacked position.

Le document AU 2005 202275 A1 divulgue les caractéristiques du préambule de la revendication 1.The document AU 2005 202275 A1 discloses the features of the preamble of claim 1.

L'abri de piscine décrit dans le document WO02/0884490 est constitué d'éléments de toiture équipés sur leurs rebords de moyens de roulement circulant sur un chemin de déplacement préformé dans les rebords verticaux du bassin lui-même, chemin de déplacement autorisant le déplacement des éléments de toiture sans obstacle puisque la course est réalisée dans les limites du bassin. Ces éléments de toiture n'ont donc besoin de se déplacer à une grande hauteur par rapport à la surface d'appui des moyens de roulement (différence de hauteur nécessaire dans le cas d'obstacle telle une margelle).The swimming pool shelter described in the document WO02 / 0884490 consists of roof elements equipped on their flanges with rolling means circulating on a preformed displacement path in the vertical edges of the basin itself, a path of movement allowing the displacement of the roof elements without obstacle since the race is carried out in the boundaries of the basin. These roof elements therefore need to move at a great height relative to the bearing surface of the rolling means (difference in height required in the case of obstacle such as a lip).

Les éléments de couverture décrits dans le document DE 202005012810 sont équipés sur leurs rebords de moyens de roulement dont la surface d'appui se trouve au moins au même niveau ou au-dessus de la surface inférieure des éléments de couverture assurant ainsi un empilement sans gêne occasionné par les moyens de roulement.The cover elements described in the document DE 202005012810 are equipped on their edges with rolling means whose bearing surface is at least at the same level or above the lower surface of the cover elements thus ensuring a stack without discomfort caused by the rolling means.

La diminution du volume excessif pris par les éléments de toiture ou de couverture en position empilée du fait de la présence des moyens de roulement ne se pose donc pas pour les configurations décrites dans ces deux documents.Decrease of excessive volume taken by roofing or roofing elements in stacked position because of the presence of the rolling means does not arise for the configurations described in these two documents.

DESCRIPTION DE L'INVENTIONDESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Ce que constatant, la demanderesse a mené des recherches sur un abri pour bassin d'agrément susceptible de présenter en position empilée un volume réduit. Ces recherches ont abouti à la conception d'un abri pour bassin d'agrément du type piscine, spa, etc... qui, formé d'éléments de toiture, est susceptible de passer d'une position déployée où les éléments de toiture sont disposés juxtaposés et où le bassin est couvert, à une position empilée où les éléments de toiture sont disposés l'un au-dessus de l'autre et où le bassin est partiellement ou complètement découvert,
lesdits éléments de toiture comprenant deux profilés transversaux entretoisés de traverses longitudinales avec les traverses dites extrêmes disposées aux extrémités desdits profilés venant reposer sur le rebord du bassin par l'intermédiaire de moyens de roulement qui sont constitués de roulettes,
qui est remarquable en ce que
les roulettes sont montées sur des supports de roulettes montés de manière pliable par rapport aux traverses extrêmes de façon à permettre leur escamotage lors de l'empilement des éléments de toiture.What is clear, the applicant has conducted research on a pond shelter amenity likely to have a reduced volume stacked position. This research led to the design of an ornamental pond shelter such as a swimming pool, spa, etc. which, formed of roofing elements, is likely to pass from an extended position where the roof elements are arranged side by side and where the pool is covered, at a stacked position where the roof elements are arranged one above the other and where the pool is partially or completely uncovered,
said roof elements comprising two transverse transverse sections of longitudinal crosspieces with the so-called extreme crosspieces disposed at the ends of said sections resting on the rim of the basin by means of rolling means which consist of rollers,
which is remarkable in that
the rollers are mounted on rollers supports foldably mounted relative to the end rails so as to allow their retraction during the stacking of the roof elements.

Cette caractéristique est particulièrement avantageuse en ce qu'elle répond aux objectifs de l'invention qui est la réduction du volume des éléments de toiture empilés par escamotage des moyens de roulement lors de leur empilement. Ainsi, quelle que soit la hauteur nécessaire entre l'élément de toiture et le rebord supérieur du bassin, la hauteur des supports de roulettes ne participe plus à la hauteur de l'empilement et donc à son volume. Le volume d'un tel empilement en est ainsi grandement réduit.This feature is particularly advantageous in that it meets the objectives of the invention which is the reduction of the volume of stacked roof elements by retraction of the rolling means during stacking. Thus, whatever the height required between the roof element and the upper edge of the basin, the height of the caster supports no longer participates in the height of the stack and therefore in its volume. The volume of such a stack is thus greatly reduced.

La mise en oeuvre d'une liaison pliable se heurtait néanmoins à la nécessité d'une liaison robuste susceptible de supporter la masse des éléments de toiture empilés tout en garantissant le passage du support de roulette d'une position pliée à une position déployée sans effort et sans actionner supplémentaire. La demanderesse a donc mené des recherches qui ont abouti à une solution répondant à ces critères et remarquable en ce que
lesdites roulettes sont associées chacune à un support de roulette qui coopère selon deux liaisons avec lesdites traverses extrêmes à savoir,
une première liaison de type glissière verticale et une deuxième liaison de type pivot agencées de telle sorte que lorsque l'élément de toiture est soulevé,
le support de roulette se libère de par son poids en restant vertical des éléments de guidage verticaux formant ladite liaison glissière et soit libre en rotation et puisse pivoter de par sa liaison pivot à des fins d'escamotage dans l'épaisseur de l'élément de toiture lors de l'empilement
et que
lorsque l'élément de toiture est soulevé et revient à sa hauteur initiale,
le support de roulette puisse pivoter en position verticale de par sa liaison pivot et s'engager par glissement vertical dans lesdits moyens de guidage.The implementation of a foldable connection nevertheless encountered the need for a robust connection capable of supporting the mass of the stacked roof elements while ensuring the passage of the caster support from a folded position to a deployed position without effort and without additional activation. The plaintiff therefore conducted research which resulted in a solution meeting these criteria and remarkable in that
said casters are each associated with a caster support which cooperates along two links with said end rails, namely,
a first vertical slide type connection and a second pivot type connection arranged such that when the roof element is raised,
the wheel support is released by its weight remaining vertical vertical guide members forming said slide connection and is free to rotate and can pivot through its pivot connection for retraction in the thickness of the element of roofing during stacking
and
when the roof element is raised and returns to its original height,
the roulette support can pivot in vertical position by its pivot connection and engage by vertical sliding in said guide means.

Un autre avantage de cette caractéristique est que l'escamotage peut être réalisé automatiquement. Ainsi, par exemple selon le dispositif de motorisation proposé dans le document W02005/052285 , les éléments de toiture passent d'une position juxtaposée à une position empilée au moyen d'un dispositif motorisé assurant la mise en mouvement en translation et l'empilement par le bas c'est à dire par soulèvement du ou des éléments de toiture précédemment empilés et insertion par translation en bas de pile, de l'élément de toiture suivant et vice-versa. Selon l'invention, la hauteur des éléments de toiture et la course du soulèvement du dispositif sont telles que l'élément de toiture supporté par ses moyens de roulement et inséré par le bas vienne en contact avec les moyens de roulement de l'élément de toiture situé en bas de pile et soulevé afin d'assurer dans son mouvement de translation, l'escamotage des moyens de roulement dudit élément soulevé.Another advantage of this feature is that the retraction can be performed automatically. Thus, for example according to the motorization device proposed in the document W02005 / 052285 , the roof elements pass from a juxtaposed position to a stacked position by means of a motorized device ensuring the movement in translation and the stacking at the bottom, ie by raising the roof element or elements previously stacked and insertion by translation at the bottom of the stack, the next roofing element and vice versa. according to the invention, the height of the roof elements and the stroke of the lifting device are such that the roof element supported by its rolling means and inserted from the bottom comes into contact with the rolling means of the roof element located at the bottom of the pile and raised to ensure in its translational movement, the retraction of the rolling means of said raised element.

Lorsque l'empilement est réalisé par le haut comme cela est le cas pour un empilement en fosse, un mouvement de translation identique peut être exploité.When stacking is performed from the top as is the case for a stack in a pit, an identical translational movement can be exploited.

Pour la mise en oeuvre de cet escamotage, une difficulté a résidé dans la capacité à proposer un support de roulette susceptible de pivoter librement malgré, mais tout en autorisant sa course en translation. Selon une caractéristique particulièrement avantageuse, le support de roulette est préformé d'un trou oblong autorisant à la fois la translation et la liaison pivot par rapport à un arbre fixé à la traverse extrême.For the implementation of this retraction, a difficulty has resided in the ability to provide a roulette support capable of pivoting freely despite, but while allowing its travel in translation. According to a particularly advantageous characteristic, the wheel support is preformed with an oblong hole allowing both the translation and the pivot connection with respect to a shaft fixed to the end cross member.

Selon une autre caractéristique particulièrement avantageuse de l'invention, la traverse extrême est préformée d'une zone accueil de l'extrémité haute dudit support de roulette lorsque l'élément de toiture repose sur ses moyens de roulement.According to another particularly advantageous feature of the invention, the end cross is preformed of a reception zone of the upper end of said wheel support when the roof element rests on its rolling means.

Selon une autre caractéristique particulièrement avantageuse de l'invention, ladite traverse extrême est préformée d'un profil en U longitudinal dans lequel se glisse l'extrémité haute dudit support, des butées étant disposées de part et d'autre de ladite extrémité haute du support de roulette pour le guider en translation.According to another particularly advantageous feature of the invention, said end cross member is preformed with a longitudinal U profile in which the upper end of said support slides, stops being disposed on either side of said upper end of the support. of roulette to guide it in translation.

Selon une autre caractéristique particulièrement avantageuse, l'extrémité haute du support est constituée par un profil parallélépipédique dont les surfaces planes participent au guidage en translation.According to another particularly advantageous feature, the high end of the support is constituted by a parallelepipedal profile whose planar surfaces participate in translational guidance.

Les profilés transversaux peuvent indifféremment être cintrés, pliés ou rectilignes. Néanmoins, comme cela est expliqué plus haut, l'invention est particulièrement justifiée pour un abri adoptant des éléments de toiture de forme aplatie. Or, les éléments de toiture formant un cadre support à des panneaux de remplissage qui constituent de grandes surfaces planes horizontale sont susceptibles de présenter des difficultés pour l'évacuation des eaux de ruissellement. En regard de la solution d'escamotage des supports de roulette proposée par l'invention, la demanderesse a imaginé un abri où les rebords des éléments de toiture ne sont pas à la même hauteur de sorte que l'inclinaison créée facilite et oriente l'évacuation des eaux reçues par l'élément de toiture. Une telle configuration particulièrement judicieuse poserait des problèmes pour une solution d'empilement du fait d'une inclinaison accumulée alors que l'escamotage des supports de roulette autorise un empilement plan.The transverse profiles can indifferently be bent, folded or rectilinear. Nevertheless, as this is explained above, the invention is particularly justified for a shelter adopting roof elements of flattened shape. However, the roof elements forming a support frame to the filling panels which constitute large horizontal flat surfaces are likely to present difficulties for the evacuation of runoff water. With regard to the solution for retracting the roulette supports proposed by the invention, the Applicant has devised a shelter where the edges of the roof elements are not at the same height so that the inclination created facilitates and orients the evacuation of water received by the roof element. Such a particularly judicious configuration would pose problems for a stacking solution due to an accumulated inclination while the retraction of the roulette supports allows a flat stack.

DESCRIPTION DES MODES DE RÉALISATION PRÉFÉRÉSDESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Tel qu'illustré sur le dessin des figures 1 et 2, un abri référencé A est disposé au-dessus d'un bassin d'agrément référencé B du type piscine. Cet abri A est formé d'éléments de toiture I qui sont susceptibles de passer d'une position déployée où les éléments de toiture I sont disposés juxtaposés et où le bassin B est couvert comme illustré par la figure 1, à une position empilée où les éléments de toiture I sont disposés l'un au-dessus de l'autre sur une zone de stockage située à l'extrémité du bassin et où le bassin B est partiellement ou complètement découvert comme illustré par la figure 2.As illustrated on the drawing of figures 1 and 2 , shelter referenced A is disposed above a pleasure pool referenced B of the pool type. This shelter A is formed of roof elements I which are capable of passing from an extended position where the roof elements I are arranged juxtaposed and where the basin B is covered as illustrated by the figure 1 at a stacked position where the roof elements I are arranged one above the other on a storage area at the end of the pool and where the pool B is partially or completely exposed as illustrated by the figure 2 .

La mise en oeuvre des mouvements nécessaires au passage d'une position juxtaposée à une position empilée des éléments de toiture I et vice-versa est réalisée au moyen d'un dispositif motorisé D représenté schématiquement et qui est équipé de moyens de transmission de mouvement coopérant avec les rebords des éléments de toiture I afin de les mouvoir en translation horizontale selon la flèche F1 et les faire passer en position empilée par insertion par le bas de la pile. Plus précisément selon le mode de réalisation illustré, le dispositif D comprend deux boîtiers de mise en mouvement disposés de part et d'autre des éléments de toiture et assurant une mise en mouvement synchronisée.The implementation of the movements necessary for the passage from a juxtaposed position to a stacked position of the roof elements I and vice versa is carried out by means of a motorized device D shown schematically and which is equipped with cooperating movement transmission means with the edges of roof elements I in order to move them horizontally in the direction of the arrow F1 and to move them into stacked position by insertion from the bottom of the stack. More specifically according to the illustrated embodiment, the device D comprises two sets of movement arranged on either side of the roof elements and providing synchronized movement.

Selon le mode de réalisation décrit, l'abri A est du type plat et est composé d'éléments de toiture I plans dont un exemplaire est illustré par la figure 3.According to the embodiment described, the shelter A is of the flat type and is composed of roof elements I planes, a copy of which is illustrated by the figure 3 .

Selon le mode de réalisation illustré, ledit élément de toiture I se compose d'une structure rigide 100 encadrant et supportant un ou plusieurs panneaux de remplissage 200. Plus précisément, la structure rigide 100 comprend deux profilés transversaux 110 et 120 entretoisés de traverses longitudinales 130 avec des traverses 140 et 150 dites extrêmes car disposées aux extrémités desdits profilés 110 et 120 venant reposer sur le rebord du bassin B par l'intermédiaire de moyens de roulement 300 comprenant des roulettes 310. Ces roulettes sont orientées pour rouler selon un chemin parallèle à l'axe longitudinal de la piscine.According to the illustrated embodiment, said roofing element I consists of a rigid structure 100 framing and supporting one or more filler panels 200. Specifically, the rigid structure 100 comprises two transverse sections 110 and 120 braced with longitudinal cross members 130 with sleepers 140 and 150 said extreme disposed at the ends of said profiles 110 and 120 coming to rest on the edge of the basin B via rolling means 300 comprising rollers 310. These rollers are oriented to roll in a path parallel to the longitudinal axis of the pool.

Ces traverses extrêmes 140 et 150 sont en fait des profilés préformés ou équipés pour remplir plusieurs fonctions dont l'accueil des moyens de roulement. Comme illustrée, chaque traverse extrême 140 et 150 accueille une paire de moyens de roulement 300 qui assure le support et facilite le déplacement de l'élément de toiture au-dessus du bassin de l'élément de toiture.These end rails 140 and 150 are in fact preformed profiles or equipped to perform several functions including the reception of rolling means. As illustrated, each end cross member 140 and 150 accommodates a pair of rolling means 300 which provides support and facilitates the movement of the roof element over the pool of the roof element.

Ces traverses extrêmes sont en outre préformées ou équipées en partie supérieure pour positionner et supporter les roulettes d'un élément de toiture venant s'empiler. De plus, ces traverses sont préformées ou équipées pour donner des moyens d'accroche au dispositif motorisé participant à l'élévation nécessaire à l'empilement.These end rails are further preformed or equipped in the upper part to position and support the wheels of a roofing element piled up. In addition, these sleepers are preformed or equipped to give means of attachment to the motorized device participating in the elevation required for stacking.

Les profilés transversaux 110 et 120 sont préformés ou équipés de façon à permettre leur fixation ponctuelle entre eux lorsqu'ils sont disposés et qu'ils se déplacent en position juxtaposée et à autoriser leur libération lors de leur empilement. Ces profilés sont également préformés ou équipés de façon à ce que le profilé d'un élément de toiture recouvre ou soit recouvert par le profilé de l'élément de toiture adjacent.The transverse profiles 110 and 120 are preformed or equipped so as to allow their punctual attachment between them when they are arranged and they move in juxtaposed position and allow their release during stacking. These profiles are also preformed or equipped so that the profile of a roof element covers or is covered by the profile of the adjacent roof element.

La liaison entre les moyens de roulement 300 et les traverses extrêmes des éléments de toiture est détaillée ci-après en regard de dessins illustrant plus particulièrement la liaison entre un moyen de roulement 300 et la traverse extrême 150. Selon le mode de réalisation illustré, cette liaison est réalisée sous la surface de l'élément de toiture I au niveau de la face intérieure du profilé formant ladite traverse extrême 150.The connection between the rolling means 300 and the extreme crosspieces of the roof elements is detailed below with reference to drawings illustrating more particularly the connection between a rolling means 300 and the end cross member 150. According to the embodiment illustrated, this connection is made under the surface of the roof element I at the inner face of the profile forming said end cross member 150.

Comme illustrée par les figures 5, 6, 7, 8 et 9, et conformément à l'invention, la roulette 310 est associée à un support de roulette 320 formant une jambe verticale, qui coopère selon deux liaisons avec la traverse extrême 150 à savoir, une première liaison de type glissière verticale selon la double flèche F2 et une deuxième liaison de type pivot selon la double flèche F3.As illustrated by Figures 5, 6 , 7, 8 and 9 and in accordance with the invention, the roller 310 is associated with a wheel support 320 forming a vertical leg, which cooperates along two links with the end cross member 150, namely, a first link of the vertical slide type according to the double arrow F2 and a second link type pivot according to the double arrow F3.

Ces deux liaisons et leurs éléments constitutifs sont agencés de telle sorte que lorsque l'élément de toiture I est soulevé au-dessus du sol (cf. figures 7 et 8), le support de roulette 320 se libère de par son poids tout en restant vertical des éléments de guidage verticaux 330 formant ladite liaison glissière et est libre en rotation selon la double flèche F3 pour pivoter de par sa liaison pivot à des fins d'escamotage dans l'épaisseur de l'élément de toiture I lors de l'empilement (cf. figure 9).
et que
lorsque l'élément de toiture I est soulevé et revient à sa hauteur initiale,
le support de roulette 320 puisse pivoter (double-flèche F3) et revenir en position verticale de par sa liaison pivot et s'engager par glissement vertical (double-flèche F2) dans lesdits moyens de guidage 330.These two links and their constituent elements are arranged such that when the roof element I is raised above the ground (cf. Figures 7 and 8 ), the wheel support 320 is released by its weight while remaining vertical vertical guide members 330 forming said slide connection and is free to rotate along the double arrow F3 for pivoting by its pivot connection for retraction purposes in the thickness of the roof element I during stacking (cf. figure 9 ).
and
when the roof element I is raised and returns to its initial height,
the wheel support 320 can pivot (double-arrow F3) and return to its vertical position by its pivot connection and engage by vertical sliding (double arrow F2) in said guide means 330.

Comme illustré, le support de roulette 320 est préformé d'un trou oblong 321 autorisant à la fois la translation et la liaison pivot par rapport à un arbre 340 fixé à la traverse extrême. Ce trou oblong 321 est préformé pour que son allongement soit orienté verticalement et pour définir une course en translation où lorsque l'élément de toiture I repose sur ses roulettes, le support 320 est engagé dans les éléments 330 constitutifs de la liaison glissière et où, lorsque l'élément de toiture I est soulevé, le support 320 entraîné par sa masse se dégage desdits éléments constitutifs 330 de la glissière jusqu'à ce que l'extrémité haute du trou oblong 321 vienne en butée contre l'arbre 340. La forme arrondie des extrémités du trou oblong 321 facilite le pivotement du support de roulette 320.As illustrated, the wheel support 320 is preformed with an oblong hole 321 allowing both the translation and the pivot connection relative to a shaft 340 fixed to the end beam. This oblong hole 321 is preformed so that its elongation is oriented vertically and to define a travel in translation or when the roof element I rests on its wheels, the support 320 is engaged in the elements 330 constituting the slide connection and where, when the roof element I is raised, the support 320 driven by its mass emerges from said constituent elements 330 of the slideway until the upper end of the oblong hole 321 abuts against the shaft 340. The shape rounded ends of the slot 321 facilitates the pivoting of the wheel support 320.

Selon le mode de réalisation non limitatif illustré, l'arbre de pivotement 340 est constitué par une vis qui, coopérant avec une douille filetée 341 logée dans la traverse 150, est équipée d'une tête 342. Cette tête 342 évite que le support 320 ne se libère de sa liaison pivot et limite ses mouvements transversaux pour garantir qu'une fois revenue en position verticale, l'extrémité haute du support de roulette se glisse dans les éléments constitutifs 330 de la glissière.According to the nonlimiting embodiment illustrated, the pivot shaft 340 is constituted by a screw which, cooperating with a threaded sleeve 341 housed in the crosspiece 150, is equipped with a head 342. This head 342 prevents the support 320 is released from its pivot connection and limits its transverse movements to ensure that once returned to the upright position, the upper end of the roulette support slips into the constituent elements 330 of the slide.

La traverse extrême 150 est en effet préformée d'une zone accueil de l'extrémité haute dudit support de roulette 320 lorsque l'élément de toiture I repose sur ses roues. Cette zone d'accueil se compose de deux parties : une partie préformée dans la traverse limitant les mouvements transversaux de translation et une autre partie venant se fixer à la traverse et venant guider la translation verticale de l'extrémité haute du support tout en empêchant une rotation autour de l'axe 340.The end cross member 150 is in fact preformed with a reception zone of the upper end of said wheel support 320 when the roof element I rests on its wheels. This reception area consists of two parts: a preformed part in the crossbar limiting transverse translational movements and another part that is fixed to the cross member and guiding the vertical translation of the upper end of the support while preventing rotation about the axis 340.

Pour ladite première partie, ladite traverse extrême 150 est préformée d'un profil en U longitudinal 151 dans lequel se glisse l'extrémité haute dudit support 320. La deuxième partie est quant à elle constituée de deux butées disposées de part et d'autre de ladite extrémité haute du support de roulette 320 pour la guider en translation. Ces deux butées 351 et 352 sont réunies par paire sur un seul et même étrier 350 facilitant leur installation et garantissant leur écartement.For said first part, said end cross member 150 is preformed with a longitudinal U profile 151 in which the upper end of said support 320 slides. The second part consists of two abutments arranged on either side of said upper end of the wheel support 320 to guide it in translation. These two stops 351 and 352 are joined in pairs on one and the same caliper 350 facilitating their installation and ensuring their spacing.

L'association de ces deux butées 351 et 352 avec le profilé en U 151 de la traverse 150 créé un volume d'accueil parallélépipédique auquel s'adapte l'extrémité haute du support de roulette 320 qui, avantageusement, est constituée par un profil parallélépipédique dont les surfaces planes participent au guidage en translation.The combination of these two stops 351 and 352 with the U-shaped section 151 of the cross member 150 creates a parallelepipedal reception volume to which the upper end of the roulette support 320 fits, which advantageously consists of a parallelepiped profile. whose flat surfaces participate in translational guidance.

Les coins de ce parallélépipède sont chanfreinés pour faciliter l'insertion de l'extrémité haute du support de roulette 320 dans la zone d'accueil.The corners of this parallelepiped are chamfered to facilitate the insertion of the upper end of the wheel support 320 in the reception area.

Comme illustré sur le dessin de la figure 9, le support de roulette 320 adopte des évidements symétriques 322 qui ont pour fonction d'éviter que le corps du support 320 ne vienne en contact avec les butées 351 ou 352 lors de sa rotation et n'empêche son escamotage sous l'élément de toiture I.As illustrated on the drawing of the figure 9 , the roulette support 320 adopts symmetrical recesses 322 whose function is to prevent the body of the support 320 comes into contact with the abutments 351 or 352 during its rotation and prevents its retraction under the roof element I.

La conception de cette double liaison permet une exploitation particulièrement judicieuse d'un système de motorisation assurant l'empilement et le déploiement des éléments de toiture tel celui proposé dans le document WO2005/052285 .The design of this double connection allows a particularly judicious exploitation of a motorization system ensuring the stacking and the deployment of the roof elements such as that proposed in the document WO2005 / 052285 .

En effet, comme illustré sur les dessins des figures 10, 11, 12 et 13, l'escamotage et le retour en position d'origine des éléments de roulement sont réalisés automatiquement de la façon décrite ci-après.Indeed, as shown in the drawings of Figures 10, 11 , 12 and 13 , retraction and return to the original position of the rolling elements are performed automatically as described below.

Comme illustré par la figure 10, un premier élément de toiture I est déjà en prise dans le dispositif d'empilement motorisé D et est disposé en position haute. Ainsi, conformément à la situation illustrée par les figures 7 et 8, les supports 320 sont libres en rotation. Un élément de toiture I' vient être inséré par le bas de la pile selon la flèche F1.As illustrated by figure 10 , a first element roofing I is already engaged in the motorized stacking device D and is arranged in the high position. Thus, in accordance with the situation illustrated by Figures 7 and 8 the supports 320 are free to rotate. A roof element I 'is inserted from the bottom of the stack along the arrow F1.

Comme illustrée par la figure 11, la hauteur de l'élément de toiture I' reposant sur ses roulettes et celle des moyens de roulement 300 en position basse du premier élément de toiture I sont définies pour que dans son mouvement en translation l'élément de toiture I' vienne en contact avec les roulettes desdits moyens de roulement 300 dudit premier élément et assure le pliage et l'escamotage desdits moyens de roulement dudit premier élément I comme illustré sur le dessin de la figure 12.As illustrated by figure 11 , the height of the roof element I 'resting on its wheels and that of the rolling means 300 in the lower position of the first roof element I are defined so that in its translational movement the roof element I' comes into contact with the rollers of said rolling means 300 of said first element and ensures the folding and retraction of said rolling means of said first element I as illustrated in the drawing of the figure 12 .

Une fois l'escamotage réalisé, l'élément de toiture I supérieur peut reposer directement et sans l'intermédiaire de ses moyens de roulement 300 sur l'élément de toiture inférieur I' qui repose sur ses propres moyens de roulement.Once the retraction achieved, the upper roof element I can rest directly and without the intermediary of its rolling means 300 on the lower roof element I 'which rests on its own rolling means.

Selon le mode de réalisation illustré par le dessin de la figure 4, les rebords de l'élément de toiture I ne sont pas à la même hauteur de sorte que le plan incliné facilite et oriente l'évacuation des eaux reçues par l'élément de toiture. Cette caractéristique est mise en oeuvre au moyen d'un élément de toiture identique à ceux décrits plus haut mais où les supports de roulettes sont plus longs d'un côté de l'élément de toiture par rapport à l'autre.According to the embodiment illustrated by the drawing of the figure 4 , the edges of the roof element I are not at the same height so that the inclined plane facilitates and orients the evacuation of water received by the roof element. This characteristic is implemented by means of a roof element identical to those described above but where the caster supports are longer on one side of the roof element relative to the other.
