Description

La présente invention concerne de manière générale la protection du dessus de constructions.The present invention generally relates to the protection of the top of constructions.

L'invention concerne plus particulièrement un dispositif de protection permettant de coiffer au moins une partie du dessus d'une construction, notamment d'un muret, tel qu'un acrotère de toiture ou de toit-terrasse.The invention relates more particularly to a protective device for capping at least a portion of the top of a construction, including a wall, such as a roof parapet or rooftop terrace.

Ledit dispositif de protection comprend un profilé en U, appelé couvertine, dont les branches forment une première et une deuxième ailes longitudinales aptes à s'étendre de part et d'autre de ladite construction. Ledit dispositif comprend également au moins un crochet en U apte à être recouvert par ladite couvertine et destiné à être fixé à cheval sur la construction, entre ladite construction et la couvertine. Le bord libre longitudinal d'une première aile de la couvertine est replié vers l'intérieur du U, pour former un retour empêchant, à l'état recouvert du crochet par la couvertine, le soulèvement de la couvertine par rapport à la première branche du crochet. L'invention concerne également une installation correspondante comprenant une construction et un tel dispositif de protection.Said protection device comprises a U-shaped section, called Couvine, whose branches form a first and a second longitudinal wings able to extend on either side of said construction. Said device also comprises at least one U-shaped hook adapted to be covered by said cover and intended to be attached to the construction, between said construction and the canopy. The longitudinal free edge of a first wing of the canopy is folded towards the inside of the U, to form a return preventing, in the covered state of the hook by the canopy, the lifting of the canopy relative to the first branch of the hook. The invention also relates to a corresponding installation comprising a construction and such a protective device.

Usuellement une couvertine se présente sous la forme d'un profilé en U dont les extrémités des branches du U sont repliées vers l'intérieur du U pour former un retour anti-soulèvement de type pince ou agrafe. Les crochets en U sont fixés à cheval sur le dessus de la construction, à écartement l'un de l'autre. Le profilé formant couvertine est alors monté sur le dessus de la construction en introduisant par une extrémité du profilé les branches des crochets dans les plis d'agrafes correspondants dudit profilé. Puis, la couvertine est déplacée à coulissement le long du dessus de la construction grâce aux branches des crochets qui forment des rails de guidage pour les agrafes de la couvertine.Usually a blanket is in the form of a U-shaped section whose ends of the branches of the U are folded towards the inside of the U to form a gripper or hook-type anti-lifting back. The U-shaped hooks are mounted astride the top of the construction, spaced apart from each other. The covering forming section is then mounted on the top of the construction by introducing at one end of the profile the branches of the hooks in the corresponding staple folds of said profile. Then, the canopy is slidably moved along the top of the construction by means of the branches of the hooks which form guide rails for the staples of the canopy.

Mais le montage d'une couvertine de grande longueur sur le dessus d'une construction par coulissement est difficile à réaliser du fait de la précision de positionnement de la couvertine nécessaire pour engager les branches du crochet dans les plis d'agrafes de la couvertine. En outre, un tel montage par coulissement de la couvertine requiert un espace libre important autour de la construction pour pouvoir enfiler à coulissement la couvertine sur les crochets le long de la construction.But the assembly of a long cover over the top of a construction by sliding is difficult to achieve because of the positioning accuracy of the cover needed to engage the branches of the hook in the staple folds of the canopy. In addition, such mounting by sliding the canopy requires a large free space around the construction to be slidable threading the cover on the hooks along the construction.

Néanmoins, il est souhaitable de pouvoir protéger le dessus d'une construction, telle qu'un mur ou muret, avec une couvertine de grande longueur permettant de couvrir la plus grande longueur possible du de dessus de la construction pour limiter le nombre de couvertines utilisées. Le fait de pouvoir couvrir la longueur de dessus de construction avec un nombre réduit de couvertines permet de réduire le nombre de zones de jonction à réaliser entre les couvertines et ainsi de réduire le risque d'infiltration entre les couvertines.Nevertheless, it is desirable to be able to protect the top of a construction, such as a wall or wall, with a cover of great length to cover the greatest possible length of the top of the construction to limit the number of covers used . The fact of being able to cover the length of construction top with a reduced number of covers makes it possible to reduce the number of junction zones to be made between the covers and thus to reduce the risk of infiltration between the covers.

On pourrait envisager d'amener latéralement la couvertine par rapport aux crochets pour l'assembler auxdits crochets. Mais avec une couvertine telle que décrite ci-dessus dont les moyens d'assemblage aux branches des crochets sont formés par une agrafe ménagée au niveau du bord libre longitudinal de chaque aile de la couvertine, il est nécessaire, après avoir engagé l'agrafe d'une aile de la couvertine entre une branche de chaque crochet et la construction, de déformer de manière très importante l'agrafe de l'autre aile de la couvertine pour la faire passer sous l'extrémité de l'autre branche de chaque crochet et l'amener entre ladite autre branche du crochet et la construction. Un tel dispositif de protection connu de l'état de la technique, qui comprend des crochets en U et une couvertine dont les moyens d'assemblage aux crochets sont formés par des agrafes, n'est donc pas adapté pour un assemblage de la couvertine sur les crochets par un montage latéral.One could consider bringing the cover side laterally relative to the hooks to assemble said hooks. But with a cover as described above whose means of assembly to the hooks of the branches are formed by a staple formed at the longitudinal free edge of each wing of the canopy, it is necessary, after engaging the staple d a wing of the canopy between a branch of each hook and the construction, deforming very importantly the clip of the other wing of the canopy to pass under the end of the other branch of each hook and bring it between said other branch of the hook and the construction. Such a protection device known from the state of the art, which comprises U-shaped hooks and a cover whose assembly means to the hooks are formed by staples, is not suitable for assembly of the cover on hooks by side mounting.

En outre, avec une telle conception de la couvertine et des crochets du dispositif de protection connu de l'état de la technique, on observe que les agrafes de la couvertine ont tendance à exercer un effort de poussée dans le sens d'un écartement des branches de chaque crochet par rapport à la construction, de sorte qu'au cours du temps un espace apparait entre les branches de chaque crochet et la construction, ce qui entraine des risques importants d'infiltration.In addition, with such a design of the canopy and hooks of protection device known from the state of the art, it is observed that the staples of the canopy tend to exert a thrust force in the direction of a separation of the branches of each hook relative to the construction, so that in the course of time a space appears between the branches of each hook and the construction, which entails significant risks of infiltration.

La présente invention a pour but de proposer un dispositif de protection de dessus de construction dont la conception permet d'utiliser une couvertine de grande longueur et d'assembler aisément la couvertine au ou à chaque crochet tout en limitant le risque d'infiltration entre le ou chaque crochet et la construction.The object of the present invention is to propose a construction top protection device whose design makes it possible to use a long cover and to easily assemble the cover to the or each hook while limiting the risk of infiltration between the or each hook and the construction.

A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un dispositif de protection permettant de coiffer au moins une partie du dessus d'une construction, notamment d'un muret, tel qu'un acrotère de toiture ou de toit-terrasse,
ledit dispositif de protection comprenant :

  • un profilé en U, appelé couvertine, dont les branches forment une première et une deuxième ailes longitudinales aptes à s'étendre de part et d'autre de ladite construction,
  • au moins un crochet en U apte à être recouvert par ladite couvertine et destiné à être fixé à cheval sur la construction, entre ladite construction et la couvertine,
le bord libre longitudinal d'une première aile de la couvertine étant replié vers l'intérieur du U, pour former un retour empêchant, à l'état recouvert du crochet par la couvertine, le soulèvement de la couvertine par rapport à la première branche du crochet,
caractérisé en ce que la deuxième aile de la couvertine présente une gorge longitudinale ouverte du côté de l'intérieur du U formé par la couvertine,
et en ce que la deuxième branche du U formé par le ou chaque crochet présente un bossage, de préférence de type nervure ou bourrelet, en saillie vers l'extérieur du U du crochet, apte à venir se loger à l'intérieur de la gorge correspondante de la deuxième aile de la couvertine à l'état recouvert du crochet par ladite couvertine.To this end, the subject of the invention is a protective device for capping at least part of the top of a construction, in particular a wall, such as a roof or roof terrace parapet,
said protection device comprising:
  • a U-shaped section, called Couvine, whose branches form a first and a second longitudinal flange able to extend on either side of said construction,
  • at least one U-shaped hook adapted to be covered by said cover and intended to be fixed astride the construction, between said construction and the canopy,
the longitudinal free edge of a first wing of the canopy being folded towards the inside of the U, to form a return preventing, in the covered state of the hook by the cover, the uprising of the canopy relative to the first branch of the hook,
characterized in that the second wing of the canopy has a longitudinal groove open on the inside of the U formed by the canopy,
and in that the second leg of the U formed by the or each hook has a boss, preferably of the rib or bead type, projecting towards the outside of the U of the hook, adapted to be housed inside the throat corresponding to the second wing of the canopy in the state covered with the hook by said canopy.

Le fait de ménager sur une aile de la couvertine une gorge destinée à s'emboiter avec un bossage externe d'une branche correspondante du ou de chaque crochet fixé à la construction, permet d'assembler aisément et rapidement une couvertine de grande longueur au(x) crochet(s) fixé(s) sur le dessus de la construction. Une telle gorge et un tel bossage permettent de réaliser un montage de la couvertine sur le ou chaque crochet, avec des déformations limitées des ailes de la couvertine et des branches du ou des crochets, et sans qu'il soit nécessaire de positionner précisément, ou de déformer de manière trop importante, les ailes de la couvertine par rapport aux branches du ou des crochets, comme c'est le cas avec la couvertine et les crochets connus de l'état de la technique.The fact of arranging on a wing of the canopy a groove intended to fit with an external boss of a corresponding branch of the or each hook attached to the construction, allows to assemble easily and quickly a long cover at ( x) Hook (s) fastened to the top of the building. Such a groove and such a boss make it possible to mount the cover on the or each hook, with limited deformations of the wings of the canopy and the branches of the hook or hooks, and without the need to precisely position, or deform too much, the wings of the canopy relative to the branches of the hooks or, as is the case with the canopy and hooks known in the state of the art.

En effet, l'assemblage de la couvertine sur le ou les crochets peut s'effectuer aisément et rapidement en amenant la couvertine latéralement par rapport au(x) crochet(s) du côté de la première branche du ou de chaque crochet et en inclinant la couvertine par rapport au(x) crochet(s) de manière à introduire le bord libre longitudinal de la première aile de la couvertine entre la première branche du crochet et la construction. Puis, la couvertine peut être pivotée autour d'un axe sensiblement parallèle à son axe longitudinal, de manière à coiffer le ou les crochets et à amener la deuxième aile de la couvertine à recouvrement de la deuxième branche du ou de chaque crochet. Au cours de ce déplacement à pivotement de la couvertine, le bossage externe du ou de chaque crochet s'emboite dans la gorge de la deuxième aile de la couvertine.Indeed, the assembly of the cover on the hook or hooks can be easily and quickly by bringing the cover side laterally with respect to the (x) hook (s) on the side of the first branch of the or each hook and tilting the blanket relative to the hook (s) so as to introduce the longitudinal free edge of the first wing of the canopy between the first hook leg and the construction. Then, the canopy can be pivoted about an axis substantially parallel to its longitudinal axis, so as to cap the hook or hooks and to bring the second wing cover covering the second branch of the or each hook. During this pivotal movement of the canopy, the outer boss of the or each hook engages in the groove of the second wing of the canopy.

L'emboitement du bossage externe dans la gorge de la deuxième aile de la couvertine permet d'assembler la deuxième aile de la couvertine à la deuxième branche du crochet, en faisant coopérer le côté interne de la deuxième aile de la couvertine munie de la gorge avec le côté externe de la deuxième branche du crochet qui présente le bossage, ce qui évite d'avoir à déformer la deuxième aile de la couvertine et/ou la deuxième branche du crochet comme c'est le cas dans le dispositif de protection de l'état de la technique, pour lequel la deuxième aile de la couvertine est assemblée à la deuxième branche du crochet par sa partie en agrafe qui doit venir coiffer par le dessous l'extrémité libre de la deuxième branche du crochet pour s'insérer entre ladite deuxième branche du crochet et la construction.The interlocking of the external boss in the throat of the second wing of the canopy allows the second wing of the canopy to be assembled with the second hook leg, by making the inner side of the second wing of the canopy with the throat cooperate. with the outer side of the second branch of the hook which has the boss, which avoids having to distort the second wing of the canopy and / or the second branch of the hook as is the case in the protection device of the state of the art, for which the second wing of the canopy is assembled to the second branch of the hook by its part staple which is to cap from below the free end of the second leg of the hook to be inserted between said second hook leg and the construction.

L'assemblage de la deuxième aile de la couvertine sur le côté externe de la deuxième branche du crochet, permet de réduire la distance entre les branches du ou de chaque crochet de manière à réduire l'espace entre ladite deuxième branche du ou de chaque crochet et la construction. La réduction de l'espace entre la deuxième branche du ou de chaque crochet et la construction permet de limiter la prise au vent de ladite couvertine et du ou de chaque crochet et donc de réduire le risque d'arrachement de la couvertine et/ou du ou de chaque crochet par le vent.The assembly of the second wing of the canopy on the outer side of the second branch of the hook, reduces the distance between the branches of the or each hook so as to reduce the space between said second branch or each hook and construction. The reduction of the space between the second branch of the or each hook and the construction makes it possible to limit the catch in the wind of said cover and the or each hook and thus to reduce the risk of tearing the cover and / or the or each hook by the wind.

Le dispositif de protection selon l'invention, permet ainsi d'utiliser une couvertine sous forme de profilé de grande longueur, ce qui permet de limiter le nombre de couvertines utilisées pour protéger le dessus de la construction et ainsi de limiter le nombre de zones de jonction entre profilés, qui généralement sont sources de salissures et d'infiltration.The protection device according to the invention thus makes it possible to use a canopy in the form of a profile of great length, which makes it possible to limit the number of covers used to protect the top of the construction and thus to limit the number of zones of junction between profiles, which generally are sources of soiling and infiltration.

Selon une caractéristique avantageuse de l'invention, en configuration orientée vers le bas des première et deuxième branches du U de la couvertine, la face interne de la gorge comprend une portion, proche du bord d'ouverture inférieur de ladite gorge, qui présente une pente ascendante vers l'intérieur de la couvertine.According to an advantageous characteristic of the invention, in a downwardly oriented configuration of the first and second branches of the U of the canopy, the inner face of the groove comprises a portion, close to the lower opening edge of said groove, which has a upward slope towards the interior of the canopy.

Cette pente ascendante permet à la gorge, au cours de l'assemblage de la couvertine au(x) crochet(s), de s'enrouler autour du bossage sur une partie importante du pourtour du bossage, ce qui permet d'améliorer l'assemblage de la gorge sur le bossage et donc d'offrir une bonne fixation de la couvertine sur le crochet correspondant.This upward slope allows the groove, during the assembly of the cover to the (x) hook (s), to wrap around the boss on a large part of the periphery of the boss, which improves the assembly of the groove on the boss and therefore to offer a good fixing of the cover on the corresponding hook.

Selon une caractéristique avantageuse de l'invention, ladite gorge présente au moins une portion en arc de cercle.According to an advantageous characteristic of the invention, said groove has at least one portion in a circular arc.

La portion en arc de cercle de la gorge permet, dans le cas où le bossage présente une portion de forme complémentaire de la gorge, d'engager progressivement et de manière continue le bossage dans la gorge pour l'assemblage de la couvertine sur ledit crochet, ce qui facilite l'assemblage de la couvertine et dudit crochet.The portion in the form of an arc of the groove makes it possible, in the case where the boss has a portion of shape complementary to the groove, to engage progressively and continuously the boss in the groove for assembling the cover on said hook. , which facilitates the assembly of the cover and said hook.

De manière générale au moins une partie du bossage du crochet présente une forme complémentaire de la gorge pour permettre un emboitement par encliquetage du bossage du crochet dans la gorge de la couvertine.In general, at least a portion of the boss of the hook has a complementary shape of the groove to allow snap engagement of the boss of the hook in the groove of the canopy.

Selon une caractéristique avantageuse de l'invention, ladite gorge de la deuxième aile de la couvertine est séparée du bord libre longitudinal de ladite deuxième aile par une partie de ladite deuxième aile formant une surface d'appui, de préférence plane, apte à venir en applique contre une face de la construction.According to an advantageous characteristic of the invention, said groove of the second wing of the canopy is separated from the longitudinal free edge of said second wing by a portion of said second wing forming a support surface, preferably flat, adapted to come into Applies against one side of the building.

Ladite partie plane de la deuxième aile qui forme surface d'applique contre la construction permet de limiter les infiltrations entre couvertine, crochet(s) et construction.Said flat portion of the second wing which forms a surface of applique against the construction makes it possible to limit the infiltrations between canopy, hook (s) and construction.

Selon une caractéristique avantageuse de l'invention, ladite partie formant surface d'appui contre la construction s'étend en saillie du plan d'ouverture de la gorge, du côté intérieur du U formé par la couvertine.According to an advantageous characteristic of the invention, said bearing surface against the construction portion protrudes from the opening plane of the groove, the inner side of the U formed by the canopy.

Ladite partie formant surface d'appui s'étend en saillie du plan d'ouverture de la gorge pour venir au plus près de la face de construction correspondante, ce qui limite encore le risque d'arrachement de la couvertine par le vent, en particulier en réduisant la prise au vent de ladite couvertine et du crochet.Said bearing surface portion protrudes from the opening plane of the groove to come closer to the corresponding face of construction, which further limits the risk of tearing the cover by the wind, in particularly by reducing the wind catch of said cover and the hook.

Selon une caractéristique avantageuse de l'invention, ladite couvertine est formée par un flan plié.According to an advantageous characteristic of the invention, said blanket is formed by a folded blank.

Selon une caractéristique avantageuse de l'invention, l'âme du U de ladite couvertine comprend au moins une, de préférence deux, nervure(s) longitudinale(s) de rigidification.According to an advantageous characteristic of the invention, the core of the U of said canopy comprises at least one, preferably two, ribs (s) longitudinal (s) of stiffening.

Selon une caractéristique avantageuse de l'invention, ledit bossage de la deuxième branche du crochet est formé par un enroulement spiralé, vers l'intérieur du U du crochet, du bord libre de la deuxième branche du crochet.According to an advantageous characteristic of the invention, said boss of the second branch of the hook is formed by a spiral winding, towards the inside of the U of the hook, of the free edge of the second branch of the hook.

La réalisation du bossage sous la forme d'un enroulement spiralé, permet audit bossage de se déformer par rapprochement par enroulement/resserrage de sa ou ses spires pour son introduction dans la gorge, puis de reprendre sa forme d'origine par écartement par déroulement de sa ou ses spires à l'intérieur de la gorge, de manière à permettre un encliquetage aisé et fiable du bossage du ou de chaque crochet à l'intérieur de la gorge de la couvertine.The realization of the boss in the form of a spiral winding, allows said boss to deform by approximation winding / tightening of his or her turns for its introduction into the groove, then resume its original shape by spacing by unfolding its or its turns inside the groove, so as to allow an easy and reliable snap of the boss of the or each hook inside the throat of the canopy.

Selon une caractéristique avantageuse de l'invention, ledit enroulement spiralé se raccorde au reste de la deuxième branche du crochet par une partie formant rampe.According to an advantageous characteristic of the invention, said spiral winding is connected to the rest of the second branch of the hook by a ramp portion.

Le raccordement du bossage à l'âme du U du crochet par une rampe permet lors du montage à recouvrement de la couvertine sur le crochet, par appui de la deuxième aile de la couvertine sur ladite rampe, que la gorge et l'enroulement spiralé se déforment pour permettre l'insertion dudit enroulement spiralé dans la gorge. Ladite rampe se présente sous la forme d'une surface qui forme, côté extérieur du crochet, avec la portion droite de la deuxième branche raccordée à la base du U du crochet, un angle obtus. Autrement dit, la rampe du crochet présente, à l'état orienté vers le bas des branches du U du crochet, une pente descendante en direction de l'extérieur du crochet.The connection of the boss to the web of the U of the hook by a ramp allows during the overlapping assembly of the cover on the hook, by supporting the second wing of the cover on said ramp, that the groove and spiral winding is deform to allow insertion of said spiral winding into the groove. Said ramp is in the form of a surface which forms, outside the hook, with the right portion of the second branch connected to the base of the U hook, an obtuse angle. In other words, the ramp of the hook has, in the downwardly oriented state of the branches of the U of hook, a downward slope towards the outside of the hook.

L'invention concerne également une installation comprenant une construction, notamment un muret, tel qu'un acrotère de toiture ou de toit-terrasse, et au moins un dispositif de protection d'au moins une partie du dessus de ladite construction, ledit ou chaque crochet étant fixé à cheval sur la construction, caractérisée en ce que ledit dispositif de protection est tel que décrit ci-dessus, et en ce la couvertine est positionnée à recouvrement du crochet de telle sorte que le retour de la première aile de la couvertine empêche, en coopération avec le bord libre de la première branche du crochet, le soulèvement de la couvertine par rapport au crochet, et de telle sorte que le bossage de la deuxième branche du crochet est logé dans la gorge de la deuxième aile de la couvertine.The invention also relates to an installation comprising a construction, in particular a low wall, such as a roof or roof terrace parapet, and at least one device for protecting at least a portion of the top of said construction, said or each hook being attached to the construction, characterized in that said protective device is as described above, and in that the cover is positioned overlapping the hook so that the return of the first wing of the canopy prevents in cooperation with the free edge of the first branch of the hook, lifting the cover from the hook, and so that the boss of the second branch of the hook is housed in the groove of the second wing of the canopy.

Selon une caractéristique avantageuse de l'invention, la gorge de la couvertine se développe autour du bossage jusqu'à une zone située entre ledit bossage et la construction.According to an advantageous characteristic of the invention, the throat of the canopy develops around the boss to an area between said boss and the construction.

En référence aux figures et comme rappelé ci-dessus, l'invention concerne un dispositif de protection 3 permettant de coiffer au moins une partie du dessus d'une construction pour assurer son étanchéité. Dans l'exemple illustré aux figures, ladite construction est un muret 1, tel qu'un acrotère de toiture ou de toit-terrasse. De manière générale, ladite construction présente une forme générale de saillie verticale.Referring to the figures and as recalled above, the invention relates to a protection device 3 for styling at least part of the top a construction to ensure its tightness. In the example illustrated in the figures, said construction is a wall 1, such as a roof or roof terrace parapet. In general, said construction has a general shape of vertical projection.

Ledit dispositif de protection comprend un profilé en U inversé, appelé couvertine 3. Les branches de la couvertine 3 forment une première et une deuxième ailes longitudinales 31, 32 aptes à s'étendre de part et d'autre de ladite construction 1.Said protection device comprises an inverted U-shaped section, called a canopy 3. The branches of the canopy 3 form first and second longitudinal wings 31, 32 able to extend on either side of said construction 1.

Ledit dispositif de protection comprend au moins un crochet 2 en U inversé apte à être recouvert par ladite couvertine 3 et destiné à être fixé à cheval sur la construction 1, entre ladite construction 1 et la couvertine 3. La base 20 du U du crochet est destinée à être positionnée sur le dessus de la construction et à être recouverte par la base 30 du U de la couvertine 3. Comme détaillé ci-après, la première branches 21 du crochet 2 est destinée à s'étendre d'un côté de la construction entre ladite construction 1 et une partie 310 de la première aile 31 de la couvertine 3, et la deuxième branche 22 est destinée à s'étendre de l'autre côté de la construction entre ladite construction 1 et la deuxième aile 32 de la couvertine 3.Said protection device comprises at least one inverted U-shaped hook 2 adapted to be covered by said cover 3 and intended to be fixed astride the construction 1, between said construction 1 and the canopy 3. The base 20 of the hook U is intended to be positioned on the top of the construction and to be covered by the base 30 of the U of the canopy 3. As detailed below, the first branches 21 of the hook 2 is intended to extend on one side of the construction between said construction 1 and a portion 310 of the first wing 31 of the canopy 3, and the second leg 22 is intended to extend on the other side of the construction between said construction 1 and the second wing 32 of the canopy 3.

La couvertine 3 se présente ainsi sous la forme d'un corps allongé à section transversale en U dont les première et deuxième ailes 31, 32, sensiblement parallèles, s'étendent l'une d'un côté de la construction et l'autre de l'autre côté de la construction. La base ou âme 30 du U inversé permet de couvrir le dessus de la construction.The cover 3 is thus in the form of an elongate body with a U-shaped cross-section, the first and second wings 31, 32 of which are substantially parallel and extend one on one side of the construction and the other on the other. the other side of the building. The base or core 30 of the inverted U can cover the top of the construction.

Le bord libre longitudinal 311 d'une première aile 31 de la couvertine 3 est replié vers l'intérieur du U, pour former un retour empêchant, à l'état recouvert du crochet 2 par la couvertine 3, le soulèvement de la couvertine 3 par rapport à la première branche 21 du crochet 2.The longitudinal free edge 311 of a first wing 31 of the canopy 3 is folded towards the inside of the U, to form a return preventing, in the covered state of the hook 2 by the canopy 3, the lifting of the canopy 3 by referred to the first branch 21 of the hook 2.

Ledit retour 311 est formé par une partie d'extrémité plate de la première aile 31 de la couvertine, qui est pliée, de manière à former un angle aigu avec la partie droite 310 restante de ladite première aile 31 de la couvertine qui s'étend jusqu'à la base 30 du U. Autrement dit, le retour 311 forme une pince ou agrafe en coopération avec le reste 310 de ladite première aile 31. Comme détaillé ci-après, ledit retour 311 est destiné à être inséré entre la construction 1 et la première branche 21 du crochet dont le bord libre est alors positionné à l'intérieur de la pince de la première aile 31 de la couvertine, c'est-à-dire en regard du pli qui sépare ledit retour 311 du reste 310 de la première aile, de sorte que ledit bord libre de la première aile du crochet est apte à former une butée anti-soulèvement pour la couvertine.Said return 311 is formed by a flat end portion of the first wing 31 of the canopy, which is folded, so as to form an acute angle with the remaining right portion 310 of said first wing 31 of the canopy which extends to the base 30 of the U. In other words, the return 311 forms a clip or clip in cooperation with the remainder 310 of said first wing 31. As detailed below, said return 311 is intended to be inserted between the construction 1 and the first branch 21 of the hook whose free edge is then positioned inside the clamp of the first wing 31 of the canopy, that is to say facing the fold which separates said return 311 from the remainder 310 of the first wing, so that said free edge of the first wing of the hook is adapted to form an anti-raising abutment for the canopy.

A l'état recouvert du crochet 2 par la couvertine 3, le retour 311 de la première aile 31 entoure par le dessous l'extrémité libre de la première branche 21 du crochet, de sorte que ledit retour 311 est apte à venir en appui contre le bord libre de la branche 21 correspondante du crochet en cas de tentative de déplacement, en particulier de soulèvement, de la couvertine 3 par rapport au crochet 2 suivant une direction transversale à la direction longitudinale.In the covered state of the hook 2 by the cover 3, the return 311 of the first flange 31 surrounds from below the free end of the first branch 21 of the hook, so that said return 311 is able to bear against the free edge of the corresponding branch 21 of the hook when attempting to move, in particular lifting, the cover 3 with respect to the hook 2 in a direction transverse to the longitudinal direction.

Autrement dit, le bord libre longitudinal du retour 311 de la première aile 31 de la couvertine s'étend entre la première branche 21 du crochet et la construction 1 et au moins une partie du reste 310 de la première aile 31 s'étend du côté extérieur de la première branche 21 du crochet.In other words, the longitudinal free edge of the return 311 of the first wing 31 of the canopy extends between the first branch 21 of the hook and the construction 1 and at least a portion of the remainder 310 of the first flange 31 extends on the side outside the first branch 21 of the hook.

De manière caractéristique à l'invention, la deuxième aile 32 de la couvertine 3 présente une gorge 321 longitudinale ouverte du côté de l'intérieur du U formé par la couvertine 3. La deuxième branche 22 du U formé par le ou chaque crochet 2 présente un bossage 221, de préférence de type nervure ou bourrelet, en saillie vers l'extérieur du U du crochet. Ledit bossage est apte à venir se loger à l'intérieur de la gorge 321 correspondante de la deuxième aile 32 de la couvertine 3 à l'état recouvert du crochet par ladite couvertine 3. Préférentiellement, ledit bossage 221 est ménagé à l'extrémité libre de la deuxième branche 22 du U du crochet 2.Characteristically to the invention, the second flange 32 of the canopy 3 has a groove 321 longitudinal open on the inside of the U formed by the cover 3. The second branch 22 of the U formed by the or each hook 2 has a boss 221, preferably of the rib or bead type, projecting outwardly of the U of the hook. Said boss is adapted to be housed inside the corresponding groove 321 of the second flange 32 of the canopy 3 in the covered state of the hook by said canopy 3. Preferably, said boss 221 is formed at the free end of the second branch 22 of the U of the hook 2.

En particulier, dans l'exemple illustré aux figures, le bossage et la gorge présentent des formes générales complémentaires permettant au bossage de s'emboiter par encliquetage dans ladite gorge.In particular, in the example illustrated in the figures, the boss and the groove have complementary general shapes allowing the boss to snap into said groove.

Ladite gorge 321 est séparée de la base 30 du U de la couvertine 3 par une partie plate 320 apte à venir en applique contre une partie plate 220 de la deuxième branche 22 correspondante du crochet 2.Said groove 321 is separated from the base 30 of the U of the canopy 3 by a flat portion 320 adapted to be applied against a flat portion 220 of the corresponding second branch 22 of the hook 2.

Pour la mise en place du dispositif de protection sur le dessus d'une construction, le ou chaque crochet 2 est fixé sur le dessus de la construction par exemple par vissage. La couvertine 3 est positionnée à recouvrement du crochet 2 de telle sorte que le retour 311 de la première aile 31 de la couvertine 3 empêche, en coopération avec le bord libre de la première branche 21 du crochet 2, le soulèvement de la couvertine 3 par rapport au crochet 2, et de telle sorte que le bossage 221 de la deuxième branche 22 du crochet 2 est logé dans la gorge 321 de la deuxième aile 32 de la couvertine 3.For the establishment of the protective device on the top of a construction, the or each hook 2 is fixed on the top of the construction for example by screwing. The cover 3 is positioned overlapping the hook 2 so that the return 311 of the first wing 31 of the cover 3 prevents, in cooperation with the free edge of the first branch 21 of the hook 2, the lifting of the cover 3 by relative to the hook 2, and so that the boss 221 of the second branch 22 of the hook 2 is housed in the groove 321 of the second flange 32 of the canopy 3.

L'assemblage de la couvertine sur le ou les crochets peut s'effectuer aisément et rapidement en amenant la couvertine 3 latéralement par rapport au(x) crochet(s) 2 du côté de la première branche 21 du ou de chaque crochet 2 et en inclinant la couvertine 3 par rapport au(x) crochet(s) 2 de manière à introduire le bord libre longitudinal 311 de la première aile 31 de la couvertine 3 entre la première branche 21 du crochet 2 et la construction 1.The assembly of the canopy on the hook or hooks can be carried out easily and quickly by bringing the cover 3 laterally relative to the (x) hook (s) 2 on the side of the first branch 21 of the or each hook 2 and tilting the cover 3 relative to the (x) hook (s) 2 so as to introduce the longitudinal free edge 311 of the first flange 31 of the canopy 3 between the first leg 21 of the hook 2 and the construction 1.

Puis, comme illustré à la figure 2 qui représente une même couvertine 3 dans deux orientations différentes correspondant à deux instants distincts de l'opération de recouvrement du ou de chaque crochet 2 par la couvertine 3, ladite couvertine 3 est pivotée, comme l'indique la flèche de la figure 2, autour d'un axe sensiblement parallèle à son axe longitudinal de manière à coiffer le ou chaque crochet 2 et à amener la deuxième aile 32 de la couvertine 3 à recouvrement de la deuxième branche 22 du ou de chaque crochet 2. Au cours de ce déplacement à pivotement de la couvertine 3, le bossage externe 221 du ou de chaque crochet 2 s'emboite dans la gorge 321 de la deuxième aile 32 de la couvertine 3.Then, as illustrated in figure 2 which represents the same cover 3 in two different orientations corresponding to two distinct moments of the covering operation of the or each hook 2 by the cover 3, said cover 3 is rotated, as indicated by the arrow of the figure 2 around an axis substantially parallel to its longitudinal axis so as to cap the or each hook 2 and to bring the second wing 32 of the cover 3 to covering the second branch 22 of the or each hook 2. During this pivotal movement of the canopy 3, the outer boss 221 of the or each hook 2 engages in the groove 321 of the second wing 32 of the canopy 3.

Avantageusement, à l'état monté sur le dessus d'une construction 1 équipée dudit au moins un crochet 2, dans un plan transversal à la construction, la face interne de la gorge 321 comprend une portion proche du bord d'ouverture inférieur de ladite gorge qui présente une pente ascendante vers l'intérieur de la couvertine. Avantageusement, ladite gorge 321 présente au moins une portion en arc de cercle de forme complémentaire d'au moins une partie dudit bossage 221.Advantageously, in the state mounted on the top of a construction 1 equipped with said at least one hook 2, in a plane transverse to the construction, the inner face of the groove 321 comprises a portion near the lower opening edge of said throat that slopes uphill into the canopy. Advantageously, said groove 321 has at least one arcuate portion of shape complementary to at least a portion of said boss 221.

La gorge 321 est configurée, en particulier dimensionnée et conformée, pour lui permettre, à l'état fixé du crochet 2 à la construction 1, et à l'état coiffé du crochet 2 par la couvertine 3, de se développer autour du bossage 221 jusqu'à une zone située entre ledit bossage 221 et la construction 1 de telle sorte que le bossage 221 forme une butée de limitation de déplacement transversal pour ladite couvertine 3. Ainsi, à l'état monté du ou de chaque crochet sur la construction, ladite gorge entoure le bossage du ou de chaque crochet sur une grande partie de sa circonférence de manière à empêcher le démontage de la couvertine par simple traction sur la couvertine.The groove 321 is configured, in particular sized and shaped, to allow it, in the fixed state of the hook 2 in the construction 1, and in the capped state of the hook 2 by the cover 3, to develop around the boss 221 to an area between said boss 221 and the construction 1 so that the boss 221 forms a transverse displacement limiting abutment for said cover 3. Thus, in the mounted state of the or each hook on the construction, said groove surrounds the boss of the or each hook over a large part of its circumference so as to prevent disassembly of the canopy by simply pulling on the cover.

La portion de la gorge 321 qui présente une pente ascendante telle que définie ci-dessus permet également de former côté extérieur de la gorge une goutte d'eau pour la couvertine.The portion of the throat 321 which has an upward slope as defined above also makes it possible to form an outer side of the throat a drop of water for the canopy.

Ladite gorge 321 de la deuxième aile 32 de la couvertine 3 est séparée du bord libre longitudinal de ladite deuxième aile 32 par une partie 322 de ladite deuxième aile 32 formant une surface d'appui, de préférence plane, apte à venir en applique contre une face de la construction 1, en dessous du crochet 2. Ladite partie 322 forme ainsi patte d'appui contre la construction 1, ce qui permet d'augmenter la rigidité de la couvertine 3.Said groove 321 of the second flange 32 of the canopy 3 is separated from the longitudinal free edge of said second flange 32 by a portion 322 of said second flange 32 forming a bearing surface, preferably flat, capable of being applied against a face of the construction 1, below the hook 2. Said part 322 thus forms a support lug against the construction 1, which allows to increase the stiffness of the canopy 3.

Ladite partie 322 formant surface d'appui contre la construction 1 s'étend en saillie du plan d'ouverture de la gorge 321, du côté intérieur du U formé par la couvertine 3, de manière à pouvoir venir directement en appui contre la construction afin d'assurer un bon appui de ladite surface d'appui contre la construction malgré la présence du crochet 2 entre la couvertine 3 et la construction 1.Said part 322 forming a bearing surface against the construction 1 extends projecting from the opening plane of the groove 321, on the inside of the U formed by the cover 3, so as to be able to bear directly against the construction in order to to ensure a good support of said support surface against the construction despite the presence of the hook 2 between the canopy 3 and the construction 1.

Ladite couvertine 3 est formée par un flan plié. On peut également prévoir que le ou chaque crochet 2 soit formé par un flan plié.Said cover 3 is formed by a folded blank. It is also possible that the or each hook 2 is formed by a folded blank.

Comme illustré plus particulièrement à la figure 6, l'âme ou base 30 du U de ladite couvertine 3 comprend au moins une, de préférence deux, nervures longitudinales de rigidification 300.As illustrated more particularly in figure 6 the core or base 30 of the U of said canopy 3 comprises at least one, preferably two, longitudinal stiffening ribs 300.

Ledit bossage 221 est formé par un ourlet ménagé de préférence sur la portion d'extrémité libre de ladite deuxième branche 22 dudit crochet 2. En particulier, dans l'exemple illustré aux figures, ledit bossage 221 de la deuxième branche 21 du crochet 2 est formé par un enroulement spiralé vers l'intérieur du U du crochet, du bord libre de la deuxième branche 22 du crochet 2. Autrement dit, ledit bossage est formé par enroulement sur lui-même du bord d'extrémité de la deuxième branche 22 du crochet 2.Said boss 221 is formed by a hem formed preferably on the free end portion of said second branch 22 of said hook 2. In particular, in the example illustrated in the figures, said boss 221 of the second branch 21 of the hook 2 is formed by a spiral winding towards the inside of the U hook, the free edge of the second branch 22 of the hook 2. In other words, said boss is formed by winding on itself the end edge of the second branch 22 of the crochet 2.

La réalisation du bossage sous forme d'un enroulement spiralé permet audit bossage de se resserrer sur lui même au cours de l'encliquetage avec la gorge pour permettre son insertion dans la gorge, puis de reprendre sa forme initiale en se desserrant à l'intérieur de ladite la gorge ce qui offre un assemblage fiable et aisé de la couvertine sur le crochet.The realization of the boss in the form of a spiral winding allows said boss to tighten on itself during snapping with the groove to allow insertion into the groove, then to return to its original shape by loosening inside said throat which provides a reliable and easy assembly of the cover on the hook.

Préférentiellement, ledit enroulement spiralé se raccorde au reste 220 de la deuxième branche 22 du crochet 2 par une partie formant rampe. Ainsi, lors de l'assemblage de la couvertine à recouvrement du ou de chaque crochet, l'extrémité de la deuxième aile 32 de la couvertine vient en appui sur ladite rampe qui guide le déplacement de ladite deuxième aile suivant un parcours permettant un engagement aisé du bossage 221 dans la gorge 321 de la deuxième aile 32 de la couvertine 3.Preferably, said spiral winding connects to the rest 220 of the second branch 22 of the hook 2 by a ramp portion. So, when the assembly of the cover covering the or each hook, the end of the second wing 32 of the canopy bears on said ramp which guides the movement of said second wing along a path allowing easy engagement of the boss 221 in the groove 321 of the second wing 32 of the canopy 3.

Avantageusement, ladite couvertine est en aluminium de préférence laqué.Advantageously, said cover is preferably aluminum lacquered.

La présente invention n'est nullement limitée aux modes de réalisation décrits et représentés, mais l'homme du métier saura y apporter toute variante conforme à son esprit.The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described and shown, but the skilled person will be able to make any variant within his mind.
