Description

Dispositif de suspension d'une toile  Suspension device for a canvas
La présente invention concerne un dispositif de suspension d'une toile, par exemple une toile imprimée telle qu'une affiche publicitaire. The present invention relates to a suspension device for a canvas, for example a printed canvas such as an advertising poster.
II est connu de placer, sur des façades de bâtiment, des toiles sur lesquelles sont imprimés par exemple des messages publicitaires. Les dispositifs existants de suspension de ces toiles imprimées comprennent classiquement un cadre rigide destiné à être apposé et fixé sur la façade d'un bâtiment. La toile imprimée est ensuite fixée sur ce cadre, parfois mobile, à l'aide d'un treuil.  It is known to place, on building facades, paintings on which are printed for example advertising messages. The existing suspension devices of these printed fabrics conventionally comprise a rigid frame intended to be affixed and fixed on the facade of a building. The printed canvas is then fixed on this frame, sometimes mobile, using a winch.
Cependant, les dispositifs existants n'offrent pas la possibilité d'avoir une toile parfaitement tendue une fois mise en place.  However, the existing devices do not offer the possibility of having a perfectly stretched canvas once in place.
Aussi la présente invention a pour but de pallier cet inconvénient en proposant un dispositif de suspension d'une toile imprimée permettant de mettre en tension la toile imprimée lors de sa mise en place.  Also the present invention aims to overcome this disadvantage by providing a suspension device of a printed canvas to tension the printed fabric during its introduction.
A cet effet, la présente invention a pour objet un dispositif de suspension d'une toile munie d'un bord inférieur et d'un bord supérieur, ledit dispositif comprenant :  For this purpose, the subject of the present invention is a device for suspending a fabric provided with a lower edge and an upper edge, said device comprising:
(i) une structure porteuse destinée à être fixée sur une paroi, (ii) un arbre, relié à la structure porteuse par une liaison pivot d'axe I,  (i) a supporting structure intended to be fixed on a wall, (ii) a shaft, connected to the supporting structure by a pivot connection of axis I,
(iii) des moyens de liaison de l'arbre et du bord supérieur de la toile,  (iii) means for connecting the shaft and the upper edge of the fabric,
(iv) des moyens de mise en rotation de l'arbre par rapport à l'axe I, en vue de lever ou abaisser la toile,  (iv) means for rotating the shaft relative to the axis I, in order to raise or lower the fabric,
caractérisé en ce que le dispositif comprend en outre des moyens de blocage du bord inférieur de la toile permettant de stopper la course ascendante dudit bord inférieur lorsque la toile est élevée. Ainsi, l'invention permet, grâce à l'action combinée des moyens de mise en rotation de l'arbre, qui tractent le bord supérieur de la toile via les moyens de liaison, et des moyens de blocage, qui stoppent la course du bord inférieur de la toile, de mettre en tension verticale cette dernière lors de sa mise en place pour obtenir au final une toile tendue.  characterized in that the device further comprises locking means of the lower edge of the fabric for stopping the upward stroke of said lower edge when the fabric is raised. Thus, the invention makes it possible, thanks to the combined action of the means for rotating the shaft, which pull the upper edge of the fabric via the connecting means, and locking means, which stop the edge stroke. lower of the canvas, to put in vertical tension the latter during its establishment to finally get a stretched canvas.
Selon une autre caractéristique du dispositif de suspension d'une toile selon l'invention, les moyens de blocage comprennent une poutre de tension fixée au bord inférieur, munie d'au moins une patte de tension, et un rail de tension destiné à être fixé sur la paroi, ledit rail de tension étant placé sur la trajectoire ascendante de chaque patte de tension. According to another characteristic of the suspension device of a fabric according to the invention, the locking means comprise a tension beam attached to the lower edge, provided with at least one tension tab, and a tension rail for attachment to the wall, said tension rail being placed in the upward path of each tension tab.
Le blocage en translation du bord inférieur de la toile est ainsi obtenu grâce à la mise en contact d'un rail fixe et d'une ou plusieurs patte(s) se déplaçant avec le bord inférieur.  The locking in translation of the lower edge of the fabric is thus obtained through the contacting of a fixed rail and one or more leg (s) moving with the lower edge.
De manière avantageuse, chaque patte de tension et le rail de tension présentent une forme complémentaire.  Advantageously, each voltage tab and the voltage rail have a complementary shape.
Préférentiellement, le rail de tension s'étend de manière longitudinale parallèlement à la poutre de tension.  Preferably, the tension rail extends longitudinally parallel to the tension beam.
Selon une autre caractéristique du dispositif de suspension d'une toile selon l'invention, les moyens de mise en rotation de l'arbre comprennent un moteur, ledit moteur étant fixé à la structure porteuse.  According to another characteristic of the suspension device of a fabric according to the invention, the means for rotating the shaft comprise a motor, said motor being fixed to the carrier structure.
Préférentiellement, le moteur présente une forme tubulaire.  Preferably, the motor has a tubular shape.
Selon encore une autre caractéristique du dispositif de suspension d'une toile selon l'invention, les moyens de liaison comprennent une toile d'amorce munie d'un bord supérieur relié à l'arbre et d'un bord inférieur, et une poutre de liaison fixée au bord inférieur de la toile d'amorce d'une part et au bord supérieur de la toile d'autre part.  According to yet another characteristic of the suspension device of a fabric according to the invention, the connecting means comprise a leader cloth provided with an upper edge connected to the shaft and a lower edge, and a beam of binding attached to the lower edge of the starter cloth on the one hand and the upper edge of the canvas on the other.
L'arbre d'enroulement peut comprendre plusieurs tubes reliés à la poutre porteuse et séparés par des paliers intermédiaires. La toile d'amorce peut quant à elle comprendre plusieurs sections, chaque section de la toile d'amorce étant reliée à un tube de l'arbre d'enroulement. Cette disposition permet d'augmenter le nombre de paliers intermédiaires par rapport à un dispositif comprenant une toile d'amorce unique dépourvue de plusieurs sections différentes.  The winding shaft may comprise several tubes connected to the carrier beam and separated by intermediate bearings. The leader cloth may comprise several sections, each section of the leader cloth being connected to a tube of the winding shaft. This arrangement makes it possible to increase the number of intermediate bearings with respect to a device comprising a single primer fabric devoid of several different sections.
Ainsi, chaque toile d'amorce s'enroule autour de l'arbre lorsque ce dernier est mis en rotation. Cela a pour effet de permettre l'élévation de la poutre de liaison, donc du bord supérieur de la toile auquel elle est liée.  Thus, each leader web wraps around the shaft when it is rotated. This has the effect of allowing the elevation of the connecting beam, so the upper edge of the web to which it is linked.
Selon une autre caractéristique du dispositif de suspension d'une toile selon l'invention, celui-ci comprend des moyens de guidage en translation de la toile.  According to another characteristic of the suspension device of a fabric according to the invention, the latter comprises guide means in translation of the fabric.
Il s'agit de moyens de guidage en translation verticale ascendante ou descendante de la toile. Cela présente l'avantage d'empêcher la toile de se débattre de manière incontrôlée sous l'action d'un vent fort par exemple. Ces moyens de guidage contribuent donc aussi à assurer la sécurité des personnes, par exemple l'opérateur chargé de remplacer une toile, situé à proximité de celle-ci lorsqu'elle est montée ou descendue (et donc qu'elle n'est plus en tension). It is a guide means in vertical translation upward or downward of the fabric. This has the advantage of preventing the canvas from struggling uncontrollably under the action of a strong wind for example.

La figure 1 montre un exemple de dispositif 1 de suspension d'une toile 2 imprimée selon un mode particulier de réalisation de la présente invention. Le dispositif 1 comprend une structure 3 porteuse destinée à être fixée à une paroi 4, par exemple un mur ou la façade d'un bâtiment, comme cela est visible sur la figure 2. La structure 3 porteuse comprend une poutre 3a porteuse. La poutre 3a porteuse peut être par exemple en aluminium extrudé. La poutre 3a porteuse est fixée à la paroi 4 par des moyens de fixation, par exemple une platine 3b de fixation, comme cela est visible sur la figure 2. Cette platine 3b de fixation est elle-même fixée sur la paroi 4, par exemple à l'aide de vis. FIG. 1 shows an example of a device 1 for suspending a printed fabric 2 according to a particular embodiment of the present invention. The device 1 comprises a carrier structure 3 intended to be fixed to a wall 4, for example a wall or the facade of a building, as can be seen in FIG. 2. The carrier structure 3 comprises a carrier beam 3a. The beam 3a carrier may be for example extruded aluminum. The carrier beam 3a is fixed to the wall 4 by fixing means, for example a fixing plate 3b, as can be seen in FIG. 2. This fixing plate 3b is itself fixed on the wall 4, for example using screws.
La platine 3b de fixation peut permettre un réglage en position de la poutre 3a porteuse en trois dimensions. A cet effet, et comme cela est représenté sur les figures 8 à 10, la platine 3b peut comporter une embase 3d destinée à être fixée sur la paroi 4, l'embase 3d présentant une portion cylindrique creuse dans laquelle peut être inséré un coulisseau 3e. Le réglage de la distance entre la poutre 3a porteuse et la paroi 4 peut être réalisé en faisant coulisser le coulisseau 3e dans la portion cylindrique de l'embase 3d jusqu'à laisser dépasser une longueur prédéterminée du coulisseau 3e hors de cette portion cylindrique. Cela permet un réglage selon une première dimension de l'espace. Le coulisseau 3e est maintenu en position par rapport à l'embase 3b grâce à des vis 3f par exemple. Le coulisseau 3e comprend une extrémité 3g qui est une surface plane comportant deux lumières permettant la fixation de la poutre 3a porteuse à l'extrémité 3g du coulisseau au moyen d'un système vis-écrou (comme visible à la figure 12). Les deux lumières s'étendent selon une direction sensiblement verticale pour permettre le réglage en position selon la verticale de la poutre 3a porteuse. Cela permet un réglage en position de la poutre 3a porteuse selon une deuxième dimension de l'espace. Enfin, conformément à l'exemple de la figure 12, la poutre 3a porteuse comprend une fente longitudinale dans laquelle sont disposées les têtes des vis permettant de lier la poutre 3a porteuse à l'extrémité 3g.  The mounting plate 3b can allow adjustment in position of the carrier beam 3a in three dimensions. For this purpose, and as shown in Figures 8 to 10, the plate 3b may comprise a base 3d to be fixed on the wall 4, the base 3d having a hollow cylindrical portion in which can be inserted a slider 3e . The adjustment of the distance between the carrier beam 3a and the wall 4 can be achieved by sliding the slider 3e in the cylindrical portion of the base 3d until a predetermined length of the slider 3e is exceeded outside this cylindrical portion. This allows adjustment to a first dimension of the space. The slider 3e is held in position relative to the base 3b by screws 3f for example. The slider 3e comprises an end 3g which is a flat surface having two slots for fixing the carrier beam 3a to the end 3g of the slider by means of a screw-nut system (as shown in Figure 12). The two lights extend in a substantially vertical direction to allow adjustment in the vertical position of the beam 3a carrier. This allows a positional adjustment of the beam 3a carrier in a second dimension of the space. Finally, according to the example of Figure 12, the carrier beam 3a comprises a longitudinal slot in which are disposed the heads of the screws for binding the carrier beam 3a to the end 3g.
Un arbre 5 d'enroulement, visible sur la figure 2 et sur la figure 15, est relié à la poutre 3a par une liaison pivot d'axe I. Le dispositif 1 comprend des moyens de mise en rotation de l'arbre 5 autour de l'axe I, par exemple un moteur (non représenté). Le moteur peut être fixé à la poutre 3a porteuse. A winding shaft 5, visible in FIG. 2 and in FIG. 15, is connected to the beam 3a by a pivot connection of axis I. The device 1 comprises means for rotating the shaft 5 around the axis I, for example a motor (not shown). The motor may be attached to the carrier beam 3a.
Dans le mode de réalisation décrit, la structure 3 porteuse comprend également un capot 3c destiné à recouvrir l'arbre 5 et le moteur en vue de les protéger. Le capot 3c est vissé sur la poutre 3a porteuse, comme cela est visible sur la figure 3.  In the embodiment described, the carrier structure 3 also comprises a cover 3c intended to cover the shaft 5 and the motor in order to protect them. The cover 3c is screwed onto the carrier beam 3a, as can be seen in FIG.
La toile 2 peut être imprimée. Elle comprend un bord 2a supérieur et un bord 2b inférieur. Dans le mode de réalisation décrit, le bord 2a supérieur est fixé à une poutre 6 de liaison tandis que le bord 2b inférieur est fixé à une poutre 7 de tension. Comme cela est représenté sur la figure 1 , la poutre 6 de liaison et la poutre 7 de tension s'étendent longitudinalement sur toute la longueur de la toile 2. Comme représenté sur la figure 2 ou la figure 1 1 , la poutre 7 de tension peut comprendre un lest 18. La poutre 7 de tension peut également servir elle-même de lest.  Canvas 2 can be printed. It comprises an upper edge 2a and a lower edge 2b. In the embodiment described, the upper edge 2a is fixed to a connecting beam 6 while the lower edge 2b is fixed to a tension beam 7. As shown in FIG. 1, the connecting beam 6 and the tension beam 7 extend longitudinally over the entire length of the fabric 2. As shown in FIG. 2 or FIG. may include a ballast 18. The tension beam 7 can also serve itself ballast.
Le dispositif 1 comprend des moyens de liaison de l'arbre 5 et du bord 2a supérieur de la toile 2. Dans le mode de réalisation des figures 1 et 2, les moyens de liaison comprennent la poutre 6 de liaison fixée au bord 2a supérieur et une toile 8 d'amorce. La toile 8 d'amorce comprend un bord supérieur fixé sur l'arbre 5 d'enroulement et un bord inférieur fixé sur la poutre 6 de liaison. La toile 8 d'amorce est destinée à s'enrouler autour de l'arbre 5 lorsque celui-ci est mis en rotation par le moteur, en vue de hisser la toile 2 jusqu'à une position haute dans laquelle la toile 8 d'amorce n'est plus visible (car enroulée autour de l'arbre 5). Le déroulement de la toile 8 d'amorce permet de faire descendre la toile 2 jusqu'à une position basse dans laquelle un opérateur peut aisément remplacer cette toile 2 par une autre toile 2, sur laquelle est imprimé un message ou un visuel différent. La figure 13 représente la toile 2 dans une position basse : les différentes sections de la toile 8 d'amorce du dispositif 1 selon ce mode de réalisation sont visibles et partiellement déroulées. La figure 14 représente la toile 2 dans une position haute : les sections de la toile 8 d'amorce sont enroulées autour de l'arbre 5 (à l'intérieur de la structure 3 porteuse) et ne sont donc pas visibles. Cette position haute correspond à une position normale de suspension de la toile 2 permettant de la rendre la plus visible possible, en évitant que sa vue soit masquée par des éléments au sol.  The device 1 comprises means for connecting the shaft 5 and the upper edge 2a of the fabric 2. In the embodiment of FIGS. 1 and 2, the connecting means comprise the connecting beam 6 attached to the upper edge 2a and a web 8 of primer. The leader cloth 8 comprises an upper edge fixed on the winding shaft 5 and a lower edge fixed on the connecting beam 6. The leader cloth 8 is intended to be wound around the shaft 5 when it is rotated by the motor, in order to hoist the fabric 2 to a high position in which the fabric 8 of primer is no longer visible (because wrapped around the tree 5). The unfolding of the web 8 of primer allows to lower the fabric 2 to a low position in which an operator can easily replace the canvas 2 by another fabric 2, on which is printed a message or a different visual. FIG. 13 shows the fabric 2 in a low position: the different sections of the boot fabric 8 of the device 1 according to this embodiment are visible and partially unwound. FIG. 14 shows the fabric 2 in a high position: the sections of the leader fabric 8 are wound around the shaft 5 (inside the carrier structure 3) and are therefore not visible. This high position corresponds to a normal position of suspension of the fabric 2 to make it as visible as possible, avoiding that its view is masked by elements on the ground.
L'arbre 5 peut comprendre des cannelures permettant d'augmenter sa rigidité afin de limiter sa flexion. L'arbre 5 peut aussi comprendre plusieurs tubes reliés à la poutre 3a porteuse et séparés par des paliers intermédiaires. La toile 8 d'amorce peut quant à elle comprendre plusieurs sections, chaque section de la toile d'amorce étant reliée à un tube de l'arbre d'enroulement. La figure 1 montre un exemple de réalisation dans lequel la toile 8 d'amorce comprend trois sections. Le bord supérieur de chaque section de la toile 8 d'amorce comprend un jonc qui est logé dans une glissière ménagée sur le tube auquel est fixée la section de la toile 8 d'amorce. Chaque jonc est soudé sur le bord supérieur d'une section de la toile 8 d'amorce. The shaft 5 may include grooves to increase its rigidity to limit flexion. The tree 5 can also include several tubes connected to the beam 3a carrier and separated by intermediate bearings. The web 8 of primer can in turn comprise several sections, each section of the primer cloth being connected to a tube of the winding shaft. FIG. 1 shows an exemplary embodiment in which the leader fabric 8 comprises three sections. The upper edge of each section of the leader cloth 8 comprises a rod which is housed in a slideway on the tube to which the section of the leader cloth 8 is fixed. Each ring is welded to the upper edge of a section of the primer cloth 8.
De manière tout à fait avantageuse, le dispositif 1 comprend des moyens de blocage en translation du bord 2b inférieur de la toile 2 lorsque celle-ci est élevée en position haute. Ces moyens de blocage comprennent un rail 9 de tension et une au moins une patte 10 de tension.  Advantageously, the device 1 comprises locking means in translation of the lower edge 2b of the fabric 2 when the latter is raised to the high position. These locking means comprise a voltage rail 9 and at least one voltage lug.
Le rail 9 est destiné à être fixé sur la paroi 4, par exemple à l'aide d'une platine 1 1 vissée sur la paroi 4. La platine 1 1 peut être similaire à la platine 3b de fixation de la poutre 3a porteuse. Le rail 9 peut s'étendre de manière longitudinale parallèlement à la poutre 7 de tension.  The rail 9 is intended to be fixed on the wall 4, for example by means of a plate 1 1 screwed onto the wall 4. The plate 1 1 may be similar to the plate 3b for fixing the beam 3a carrier. The rail 9 may extend longitudinally parallel to the tension beam 7.
Chaque patte 10 est fixée à la poutre 7 de tension. Chaque patte 10 présente avantageusement une forme complémentaire de celle du rail 9, afin que chaque patte 10 et le rail 9 coopèrent de manière à bloquer la course de la toile 2, lorsque celle-ci est élevée en position haute. Le rail 9 est à cet effet placé sur la trajectoire d'au moins une patte 10. La figure 1 1 illustre un exemple de réalisation dans lequel la patte 10 présente une arête convexe destinée à venir au contact d'une arête concave du rail 9, de sorte que la patte 10 et le rail 9 de tension s'emboîtent lors de l'élévation de la toile 2. La figure 15 illustre un autre exemple de réalisation dans lequel la patte 10 présente deux parties délimitant entre elles un espace dans lequel est destiné à se loger le rail 9 de tension. La patte 10 constitue la partie femelle et le rail 9 de tension constitue la partie mâle, l'espace délimité par les deux parties de la patte 10 présentant une forme complémentaire de celle du rail 9 de tension.  Each lug 10 is fixed to the tension beam 7. Each lug 10 advantageously has a shape complementary to that of the rail 9, so that each leg 10 and the rail 9 cooperate to block the stroke of the fabric 2, when the latter is raised to the high position. For this purpose, the rail 9 is placed in the path of at least one lug 10. FIG. 11 illustrates an exemplary embodiment in which the lug 10 has a convex edge designed to come into contact with a concave edge of the rail 9 , so that the lug 10 and the tension rail 9 fit together during the elevation of the fabric 2. FIG. 15 illustrates another embodiment in which the lug 10 has two parts delimiting between them a space in which is intended to accommodate the voltage rail 9. The lug 10 constitutes the female part and the tensioning rail 9 constitutes the male part, the space delimited by the two parts of the lug 10 having a shape complementary to that of the rail 9 of tension.
De manière alternative, une patte 10 prise en combinaison avec la poutre 7 de tension peut présenter une forme complémentaire de celle du rail 9. C'est le cas du rail 9 et de la patte 10 montrés respectivement sur les figures 5 et 6. La figure 7 illustre la patte 10 de la figure 6 vue de face. Dans cet exemple de réalisation, le rail 9 présente deux surfaces inclinées d'un angle a. La patte 10 présente une surface présentant avec une surface de la poutre 7 de tension (représentée en pointillés sur la figure 6) l'angle a. Cet angle a peut être par exemple égal à 45°. Alternatively, a lug 10 taken in combination with the tension beam 7 may have a shape complementary to that of the rail 9. This is the case of the rail 9 and the lug 10 respectively shown in FIGS. 5 and 6. Figure 7 illustrates the tab 10 of Figure 6 front view. In this embodiment, the rail 9 has two surfaces inclined at an angle. The tab 10 has a surface with a surface of the beam 7 voltage (shown in dashed lines in Figure 6) the angle a. This angle may be for example equal to 45 °.
En fonctionnement, lorsqu'un opérateur a terminé de positionner une nouvelle toile 2 imprimée avec un visuel ou un message, cet opérateur élève la toile 2 jusqu'à sa position haute en activant le moteur. Le moteur entraîne la rotation de l'arbre 5 sur lequel s'enroule la toile 8 d'amorce (ou les différentes sections de la toile 8 d'amorce) jusqu'à ce que la coopération du rail 9 de tension et d'au moins une patte 10 bloque la poutre 7 de tension reliée au bord 2b inférieur. Sous l'action combinée du moteur tractant le bord 2a supérieur et des moyens de blocage stoppant la course du bord 2b inférieur, la toile 2 se met en tension. Le moteur se bloque lorsqu'une tension seuil prédéterminée est atteinte. Ainsi, le moteur et les moyens de blocage permettent de mettre en tension verticale la toile 2 et d'obtenir une toile 2 tendue.  In operation, when an operator has finished positioning a new fabric 2 printed with a visual or a message, this operator raises the fabric 2 to its upper position by activating the motor. The motor drives the rotation of the shaft 5 on which the starter cloth 8 (or the different sections of the leader cloth 8) is wound until the cooperation of the tensioning rail 9 and at least one lug 10 blocks the tension beam 7 connected to the lower edge 2b. Under the combined action of the motor pulling the upper edge 2a and locking means stopping the stroke of the lower edge 2b, the fabric 2 starts to tension. The motor locks when a predetermined threshold voltage is reached. Thus, the motor and the locking means are used to vertically tension the fabric 2 and to obtain a stretched fabric 2.
II est à noter que les moyens de blocage bloquent uniquement la course verticale ascendante du bord 2a inférieur, et non sa course verticale descendante.  It should be noted that the blocking means only block the upward vertical stroke of the lower edge 2a, and not its downward vertical stroke.
Le dispositif 1 peut aussi comprendre des moyens de guidage en translation de la poutre 6 de liaison et de la poutre 7 de tension. Dans le mode de réalisation décrit, les moyens de guidage comprennent une paire de câbles 12 sensiblement parallèles et verticaux. Les câbles 12 présentent une extrémité haute fixée à la structure 3 porteuse, et plus particulièrement à la platine 3b de fixation. Les câbles 12 présentent également une extrémité basse fixée à la paroi 4, par exemple au moyen d'une platine 13. Chaque câble 12 comprend un tendeur 14, visible sur la figure 2. Des guides 15 sont fixés à la poutre 6 de liaison et à la poutre 7 de tension. Ces guides 15 comprennent une ouverture traversée par un des câbles 12. Dans l'exemple de la figure 4, les guides 15 peuvent comporter un mousqueton 16 facilitant la mise en place des guides 15 par rapport aux câbles 12. Un capot 17 de protection peut être vissé sur la platine 13 pour empêcher l'accès à l'extrémité basse des câbles 12.  The device 1 may also comprise guide means in translation of the connecting beam 6 and the tension beam 7. In the embodiment described, the guide means comprise a pair of substantially parallel and vertical cables 12. The cables 12 have an upper end attached to the carrier structure 3, and more particularly to the mounting plate 3b. The cables 12 also have a low end fixed to the wall 4, for example by means of a plate 13. Each cable 12 comprises a tensioner 14, visible in FIG. 2. Guides 15 are fixed to the connecting beam 6 and to the beam 7 of tension. These guides 15 comprise an opening traversed by one of the cables 12. In the example of FIG. 4, the guides 15 may comprise a carabiner 16 facilitating the positioning of the guides 15 with respect to the cables 12. A protective cover 17 may be screwed on the plate 13 to prevent access to the low end of the cables 12.
Dans une forme de réalisation (non représentée), des moyens de remontée de l'extrémité basse de chaque câble 12. Ces moyens de remontée comprennent un moteur de chaque côté de la poutre 3a porteuse, ces moteurs étant aptes à mettre en rotation un tube sur lequel vient s'enrouler chaque câble 12. Lorsque la toile 2 est hissée en position haute, les moteurs permettent de remonter l'extrémité basse de chaque câble 12 jusqu'aux guides 15 reliés à la poutre 7 de tension. Les moteurs permettent également de descendre l'extrémité basse de chaque câble 12 jusqu'à la hauteur de la platine 13 et du capot 17, pour permettre d'accrocher cette extrémité basse à la platine 13. Le fait de pouvoir remonter les extrémités basses des câbles 12 permet de les positionner en hauteur, de manière à ce qu'elles soient inaccessibles aux personnes. In one embodiment (not shown), means for raising the lower end of each cable 12. These raising means comprise a motor on each side of the beam 3a carrier, these motors being able to rotate a tube on which each cable 12 is wound. When the fabric 2 is hoisted in the raised position, the motors make it possible to raise the lower end of each cable 12 to guides 15 connected to the beam 7 of tension. The motors also allow to lower the lower end of each cable 12 to the height of the plate 13 and the cover 17, to allow to hang this low end to the plate 13. The fact of being able to go up the lower ends of cables 12 allows to position them in height, so that they are inaccessible to people.
La poutre 6 de liaison, la poutre 7 de tension, le rail 9 de tension et le capot 3c peuvent être en aluminium extrudé.  The connecting beam 6, the tension beam 7, the tensioning rail 9 and the cover 3c may be made of extruded aluminum.
Bien entendu, l'invention n'est nullement limitée au mode de réalisation décrit ci-dessus, ce mode de réalisation n'ayant été donné qu'à titre d'exemple. Des modifications restent possibles, notamment du point de vue de la constitution des divers éléments ou par la substitution d'équivalents techniques, sans sortir pour autant du domaine de protection de l'invention.  Of course, the invention is not limited to the embodiment described above, this embodiment having been given as an example. Modifications are possible, particularly from the point of view of the constitution of the various elements or by the substitution of technical equivalents, without departing from the scope of protection of the invention.
