Description

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

La présente invention a trait au domaine des portes coulissantes dites à galandage et notamment aux adaptations permettant d'associer dans les meilleures conditions lesdites portes aux parois qui les accueillent.The present invention relates to the field of so-called pocket sliding doors and in particular to adaptations making it possible to associate said doors under the best conditions with the walls which receive them.

DESCRIPTION DE L'ART ANTÉRIEURDESCRIPTION OF PRIOR ART

Classiquement, un galandage est un châssis incorporé dans une cloison qui permet au panneau coulissant de porte de disparaitre dans la paroi lors de l'ouverture de la porte. Ce châssis comprend une structure métallique contenant un ou plusieurs rails et un guidage au sol. Une telle configuration évite les inconvénients d'une porte à battant rotatif qui requiert de garder libre sur un côté de l'ouverture, un volume conséquent d'autoriser l'ouverture.Conventionally, a pocket is a frame incorporated in a partition which allows the sliding door panel to disappear into the wall when the door is opened. This frame comprises a metal structure containing one or more rails and a guide on the ground. Such a configuration avoids the drawbacks of a rotary hinged door which requires keeping free on one side of the opening, a substantial volume to allow opening.

Il est néanmoins difficile d'intégrer une porte à galandage dans une paroi murale si l'habitation n'est pas en construction ou si l'on n'accepte pas la destruction de la paroi existante.It is nevertheless difficult to integrate a pocket door in a wall wall if the house is not under construction or if the destruction of the existing wall is not accepted.

Afin de proposer les avantages d'une porte coulissante sans nécessiter une modification de la paroi, la demanderesse a conçu et réalisé un rail de suspension venant se poser en applique au-dessus de l'ouverture de porte. Un tel rail est décrit et représenté dans le document FR2980509 qui proposait une porte coulissante comprenant

  • un panneau de porte coulissant dont la partie supérieure est liée à un bloc de guidage venant se fixer au mur et comprenant,
  • un profilé formant rail de guidage et préformé pour servir de surfaces de roulement à un ou plusieurs chariots auxquels est suspendu ledit panneau de porte. Une porte coulissante similaire est divulguée dans le document DE 10 2005 052 299 .
In order to offer the advantages of a sliding door without requiring a modification of the wall, the applicant has designed and produced a suspension rail which is applied above the door opening. Such a rail is described and represented in the document FR2980509 which offered a sliding door including
  • a sliding door panel, the upper part of which is linked to a guide block which is fixed to the wall and comprising,
  • a profile forming a guide rail and preformed to serve as running surfaces for one or more carriages from which said door panel is suspended. A similar sliding door is disclosed in the document DE 10 2005 052 299 .

La porte coulissante divulguée dans le document FR2980509 était remarquable en ce qu'une ou plusieurs ailettes se projetaient à partir dudit profilé, de part et d'autre de l'axe de déplacement du chariot, pour venir se fixer au mur d'une part et accueillir de façon démontable un panneau d'habillage de façade d'autre part.The sliding door disclosed in the document FR2980509 was remarkable in that one or more fins were projected from said section, on either side of the axis of movement of the carriage, to come to be fixed to the wall on the one hand and to accommodate a removable panel. facade cladding on the other hand.

Une telle solution technique offre les avantages d'une porte coulissante en minimisant les opérations nécessaires à sa mise en place. En effet, pour ce faire, il suffit de :

  • retirer l'ancien battant de porte et éventuellement ses gonds,
  • installer le rail au-dessus de l'ancienne huisserie,
  • fixer des chariots à la partie haute de l'ancien battant ou d'un nouveau,
  • engager les chariots dans le rail.
Such a technical solution offers the advantages of a sliding door while minimizing the operations necessary for its installation. In fact, to do this, it suffices to:
  • remove the old door leaf and possibly its hinges,
  • install the rail above the old frame,
  • attach carriages to the upper part of the old leaf or a new one,
  • engage the carriages in the rail.

Ce rail avait en outre pour avantage de faciliter l'installation de l'habillage du rail.This rail also had the advantage of facilitating the installation of the rail covering.

Néanmoins, une telle solution technique ne permet pas d'obtenir l'effet esthétique d'une porte à galandage où le panneau de porte disparaît dans la cloison ou la paroi.However, such a technical solution does not make it possible to obtain the aesthetic effect of a pocket door where the door panel disappears into the partition or the wall.

DESCRIPTION DE L'INVENTIONDESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Partant de cet état de fait, la demanderesse a mené des recherches visant à proposer une solution technique de porte coulissante réunissant les avantages d'un rail en applique avec ceux d'une porte à galandage. Ces recherches ont abouti à la conception et à la réalisation d'un dispositif de porte coulissante nouveau permettant d'obvier aux inconvénients précités. Ce dispositif de porte coulissante comprend un rail, un panneau de porte et des panneaux d'habillage, ledit rail venant se disposer en applique au-dessus d'une ouverture de porte pratiquée dans une paroi murale, ledit panneau de porte étant équipé en partie supérieure d'au moins un chariot de guidage en translation, ledit chariot de guidage venant coopérer avec ledit rail, ledit rail étant préformé pour accueillir lesdits panneaux d'habillage qui viennent s'y lier. Il est remarquable en ce que lesdits panneaux d'habillage sont dimensionnés et préformés d'une part pour créer, entre la paroi et la face arrière des panneaux d'habillage, un volume d'accueil dudit panneau de porte en position ouverte et d'autre part pour occuper la totalité de la hauteur de la paroi sur laquelle ils s'installent. Ainsi, le galandage se trouve positionné en applique sur la paroi comme le rail. Grâce à l'invention, il n'est plus nécessaire d'aménager le volume intérieur de la paroi ou de créer une nouvelle paroi pour accueillir le panneau de porte coulissant et pour obtenir l'esthétique d'une porte à galandage. Les possibilités d'intégrer ce type de porte sont augmentées et peuvent désormais concerner la rénovation sans destruction de paroi. De plus, l'esthétique est optimisée en habillant non seulement le volume d'accueil du panneau de porte en position ouverte mais également la surface de paroi située entre le rail et le plafond. Au delà de l'esthétique, il n'est plus non plus nécessaire de laisser un volume libre pour autoriser la translation du panneau de porte puisque l'habillage en protège la course. Il est donc possible d'utiliser la surface ou le volume autour de l'habillage sans gêner le fonctionnement du dispositif. Le dispositif de l'invention présente ainsi tous les avantages d'une porte coulissante à galandage mais sans ses inconvénients.Based on this state of affairs, the Applicant has carried out research aimed at proposing a technical solution for a sliding door combining the advantages of an overlay rail with those of a pocket door. This research has resulted in the design and production of a new sliding door device making it possible to obviate the aforementioned drawbacks. This sliding door device comprises a rail, a door panel and trim panels, said rail being placed on the surface above a door opening made in a wall wall, said door panel being partly equipped upper of at least one guide carriage in translation, said guide carriage cooperating with said rail, said rail being preformed to receive said covering panels which come to bind thereto. It is remarkable in that said trim panels are dimensioned and preformed on the one hand to create, between the wall and the rear face of the trim panels, a volume for accommodating said door panel in the open position and on the other hand to occupy the entire height of the wall on which they are installed. Thus, the pocket is positioned applied on the wall like the rail. Thanks to the invention, it is no longer necessary to arrange the interior volume of the wall or to create a new wall to accommodate the sliding door panel and to obtain the aesthetics of a pocket door. The possibilities of integrating this type of door are increased and can now relate to renovation without destroying the wall. In addition, aesthetics are optimized by dressing not only the reception volume of the door panel in the open position but also the wall surface. located between the rail and the ceiling. Beyond the aesthetics, it is no longer necessary to leave a free space to allow the translation of the door panel since the covering protects the race. It is therefore possible to use the surface or the volume around the covering without hindering the operation of the device. The device of the invention thus has all the advantages of a sliding pocket door but without its drawbacks.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le dispositif comprend un profilé additionnel de liaison qui vient se fixer audit rail et qui est préformé pour proposer deux projections coplanaires verticales, l'une orientée vers le haut et l'autre orientée vers le bas sur lesquelles viennent s'engager les chants d'un ou plusieurs panneaux d'habillage, la projection orientée vers le haut accueillant un ou plusieurs panneaux supérieurs d'habillage et la projection orientée vers le bas accueillant un ou plusieurs panneaux inférieurs d'habillage. Cette caractéristique permet de faciliter la liaison entre le rail et les panneaux d'habillage en créant une interface mécanique entre le rail et les panneaux. Elle évite une liaison directe entre le rail et les panneaux et permet de disposer d'une profondeur de liaison supérieure à l'épaisseur des panneaux d'habillage. Une telle liaison évite en outre tout détachement des panneaux en cas de contrainte horizontale.According to another characteristic of the invention, the device comprises an additional connecting profile which is fixed to said rail and which is preformed to provide two vertical coplanar projections, one oriented upward and the other oriented downward on which engage the edges of one or more trim panels, the upward-facing projection accommodating one or more upper trim panels and the downward-facing projection accommodating one or more lower trim panels. This characteristic makes it possible to facilitate the connection between the rail and the covering panels by creating a mechanical interface between the rail and the panels. It avoids a direct connection between the rail and the panels and allows to have a connection depth greater than the thickness of the covering panels. Such a connection also prevents any detachment of the panels in the event of horizontal stress.

De plus, le profilé de liaison va pouvoir être préformé pour non seulement offrir des surfaces de retenue mais également des surfaces de positionnement pour les panneaux. Ainsi, selon une caractéristique particulièrement avantageuse de l'invention, ledit profilé additionnel de liaison comprend une partie centrale verticale dont la face avant sert de surface d'appui à la face verticale arrière du panneau d'habillage supérieur engagé sur la projection verticale orientée vers le haut.In addition, the connecting profile will be able to be preformed to not only provide retaining surfaces but also positioning surfaces for the panels. Thus, according to a particularly advantageous characteristic of the invention, said additional connecting profile comprises a vertical central part, the front face of which serves as a bearing surface for the rear vertical face of the upper covering panel engaged on the vertical projection oriented towards the top.

Selon une autre caractéristique particulièrement avantageuse de l'invention, ledit profilé additionnel de liaison est préformé de façon à positionner la liaison entre les chants des panneaux d'habillage à une hauteur inférieure à celle dudit rail sur la paroi. En effet, un autre avantage de l'utilisation d'un profilé de liaison s'intercalant entre le rail et les panneaux réside dans le fait qu'il permet de définir la hauteur de la ligne de jonction entre les panneaux supérieurs et les panneaux inférieurs. Un tel décalage de hauteur évite que les panneaux d'habillage inférieurs ne présentent une hauteur supérieure à celle du panneau de porte ce qui facilite la logistique (emballage, manutention) du dispositif.According to another particularly advantageous characteristic of the invention, said additional connecting profile is preformed so as to position the connection between the edges of the covering panels at a height lower than that of said rail on the wall. Indeed, another advantage of the use of a connecting profile inserted between the rail and the panels lies in the makes it possible to define the height of the junction line between the upper panels and the lower panels. Such a height offset prevents the lower trim panels from having a height greater than that of the door panel, which facilitates the logistics (packaging, handling) of the device.

Afin de répondre au même problème technique, les montants d'habillage venant se fixer à la paroi et supportant les panneaux habillage sont réalisés en au moins deux parties. Cette conception limitant l'encombrement des pièces constitutives du dispositif permet de proposer une version transportable facilement et prête-à-monter, pour une diffusion grand public. Ainsi selon l'invention, le dispositif de porte coulissante est remarquable en ce qu'il adopte une configuration prête-à-monter comprenant les éléments suivants :

  • un rail supérieur,
  • un profilé additionnel de liaison,
  • au moins un panneau d'habillage inférieur,
  • au moins un panneau d'habillage supérieur,
  • des montants en plusieurs parties.
In order to respond to the same technical problem, the covering uprights which are fixed to the wall and supporting the covering panels are made in at least two parts. This design limiting the size of the constituent parts of the device makes it possible to offer an easily transportable and ready-to-assemble version, for distribution to the general public. Thus according to the invention, the sliding door device is remarkable in that it adopts a ready-to-assemble configuration comprising the following elements:
  • an upper rail,
  • an additional connecting profile,
  • at least one lower trim panel,
  • at least one top cover panel,
  • amounts in several parts.

Selon une caractéristique plus précise, ledit profilé additionnel de liaison adopte un profil comprenant une partie verticale plane centrale présentant sur sa face arrière, une préformation permettant sa liaison avec le rail et sur sa face avant, une préformation permettant sa liaison avec les panneaux d'habillage inférieur et supérieur.According to a more precise characteristic, said additional connecting profile adopts a profile comprising a central flat vertical part having on its rear face, a preformation allowing its connection with the rail and on its front face, a preformation allowing its connection with the panels. lower and upper cladding.

La liaison du profilé de liaison avec le rail et celle avec les panneaux d'habillage ont fait l'objet d'une étude spécifique pour être optimisées.The connection of the connecting profile to the rail and that to the covering panels have been the subject of a specific study to be optimized.

Selon une autre caractéristique particulièrement avantageuse de l'invention, la liaison entre le profilé additionnel de liaison et les panneaux d'habillage est mise en œuvre grâce aux caractéristiques suivantes :

  • pour le profilé additionnel de liaison, par la préformation des projections verticales de façon à ce que les projections verticales forment une projection plane nervurée sur au moins une face, la nervure étant positionnée sur une partie médiane de la projection plane de façon à définir une partie de moindre épaisseur de part et d'autre de la nervure, et
  • pour les panneaux d'habillage, par la préformation d'une rainure adoptant un profil en U du chant des panneaux, rainure s'engageant sur la projection verticale nervurée à des fins de fixation.
According to another particularly advantageous characteristic of the invention, the connection between the additional connecting profile and the covering panels is implemented by virtue of the following characteristics:
  • for the additional connecting profile, by preforming the vertical projections so that the vertical projections form a flat projection ribbed on at least one face, the rib being positioned on a middle part of the flat projection so as to define a part thinner on either side of the rib, and
  • for covering panels, by preforming a groove adopting a U-shaped profile of the edge of the panels, groove engaging the ribbed vertical projection for fixing purposes.

La partie de moindre épaisseur facilite l'insertion de la projection dans la rainure et permet un bon positionnement avant le maintien en position réalisé par l'insertion de la nervure dans la rainure.The thinner part facilitates the insertion of the projection into the groove and allows good positioning before the maintenance in position achieved by the insertion of the rib into the groove.

Selon une autre caractéristique particulièrement avantageuse de l'invention, le rail est préformé de projections permettant au profilé additionnel de liaison de venir s'y fixer, ces projections de fixation du profilé additionnel de liaison reprenant la même préformation que celles destinées à l'accueil des panneaux d'habillage sur le profilé additionnel de liaison.According to another particularly advantageous characteristic of the invention, the rail is preformed with projections allowing the additional connecting profile to come and fix to it, these fixing projections of the additional connecting profile having the same preformation as those intended for the reception. covering panels on the additional connecting profile.

Cette caractéristique a notamment pour avantage de permettre audit rail d'accueillir directement des panneaux d'habillage avec les avantages de cette préformation. Cet accueil direct où le rail est seul installé en applique sans logement/galandage pour le panneau de porte, est connu et notamment décrit dans le brevet FR2980509 . Ainsi, un autre avantage technique du profilé additionnel de liaison de l'invention est de permettre, sur la base d'un rail tel celui connu dudit brevet FR2980509 , l'installation optimisée de panneaux d'habillage (à des fins de création d'un galandage en applique) sans que ces derniers présentent une hauteur supérieure à celle du panneau de porte. Le même rail peut ainsi être utilisé pour les deux configurations (habillage du rail en applique seul et création d'un galandage en applique). De plus, en regard de la configuration de la fixation directe de l'habillage, la fixation est optimisée par la nouvelle préformation des projections de fixation préformées dans le rail.This characteristic has the particular advantage of allowing said rail to directly accommodate covering panels with the advantages of this preformation. This direct reception where the rail is the only wall-mounted installation without housing / pocket for the door panel, is known and in particular described in the patent. FR2980509 . Thus, another technical advantage of the additional connecting profile of the invention is to allow, on the basis of a rail such as that known from said patent FR2980509 , the optimized installation of cover panels (for the purpose of creating a wall-mounted pocket) without them having a height greater than that of the door panel. The same rail can thus be used for both configurations (covering of the surface-mounted rail alone and creation of a surface-mounted pocket). In addition, with regard to the configuration of the direct fixing of the cover, the fixing is optimized by the new preformation of the fixing projections preformed in the rail.

En addition de l'habillage et de l'accueil des panneaux d'habillage, le dispositif a également fait l'objet d'une étude concernant l'amortissement de la course d'ouverture du panneau de porte.In addition to the covering and the reception of the covering panels, the device has also been the subject of a study concerning the damping of the opening stroke of the door panel.

Comme classiquement, le dispositif comprend un module d'amortissement de la course du chariot venant se loger dans le rail, ledit chariot comprenant au moins une roue. Selon une caractéristique particulièrement avantageuse de l'invention, ledit module d'amortissement comprend un corps dont une face sert de butée à la course du chariot, ladite face étant équipée d'une projection élastique se projetant sur le chemin de déplacement dudit chariot,
ladite projection étant préformée d'un volume concave reprenant le diamètre extérieur de la roue à des fins d'accueil de sorte qu'en fin de course, ladite roue déforme la projection en étant freinée puis se trouve retenue dans ledit volume concave.As conventionally, the device comprises a module for damping the travel of the carriage which is housed in the rail, said carriage comprising at least one wheel. According to a particularly advantageous characteristic of the invention, said damping module comprises a body, one face of which serves as a stop the travel of the carriage, said face being equipped with an elastic projection projecting onto the path of movement of said carriage,
said projection being preformed with a concave volume taking up the outer diameter of the wheel for reception purposes so that at the end of its travel, said wheel deforms the projection by being braked and then is retained in said concave volume.

Une telle caractéristique assure le freinage de la course et la création d'une position retenue de fin de course d'ouverture en retenant au moins une roue du chariot.Such a characteristic ensures the braking of the race and the creation of a retained position of the opening limit switch by retaining at least one wheel of the carriage.

Les concepts fondamentaux de l'invention venant d'être exposés ci-dessus dans leur forme la plus élémentaire, d'autres détails et caractéristiques ressortiront plus clairement à la lecture de la description qui suit et en regard des dessins annexés, donnant à titre d'exemple non limitatif, un mode de réalisation d'un dispositif de porte coulissante conforme à l'invention.The fundamental concepts of the invention having just been explained above in their most elementary form, other details and characteristics will emerge more clearly on reading the following description and with reference to the appended drawings, giving by way of nonlimiting example, an embodiment of a sliding door device according to the invention.

DESCRIPTION D'UN MODE PRÉFÉRÉ DE RÉALISATIONDESCRIPTION OF A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

Comme illustré sur le dessin de la figure 1, le dispositif de porte coulissante référencé D dans son ensemble comprend un panneau de porte 100 coulissant horizontalement selon la double flèche F1 pour commander l'ouverture O réalisée dans la paroi P. Ce panneau de porte 100 s'escamote dans un logement 200 (cf. figure 2) vertical défini en applique sur la paroi P et non dans la paroi comme dans un galandage classique. Ce logement 200 comprend des panneaux d'habillage référencés de manière générale 300 qui, disposés espacés par rapport à la paroi P, définissent un volume d'accueil dudit panneau de porte 100.As shown in the drawing of the figure 1 , the sliding door device referenced D as a whole comprises a door panel 100 sliding horizontally according to the double arrow F1 to control the opening O made in the wall P. This door panel 100 retracts into a housing 200 (cf. . figure 2 ) vertical defined on the wall P and not in the wall as in a conventional pocket. This housing 200 comprises covering panels generally referenced 300 which, arranged spaced apart from the wall P, define a volume for accommodating said door panel 100.

Ces panneaux d'habillage 300 habillent également la surface de paroi P séparant le haut du panneau de porte 100 et le plafond en recouvrant légèrement le haut du panneau de porte 100.These trim panels 300 also dress the wall surface P separating the top of the door panel 100 and the ceiling by slightly covering the top of the door panel 100.

Selon le mode de réalisation préféré illustré, les panneaux d'habillage habillent également la surface verticale située au niveau de la tapée servant de butée de fin de course de fermeture du panneau de porte 100.According to the preferred embodiment illustrated, the covering panels also cover the vertical surface located at the level of the tap serving as the closing limit stop for the door panel 100.

Comme illustré sur le dessin de la figure 2, afin de guider ce panneau de porte 100 dans son mouvement en translation double flèche F1, le dispositif D comprend un rail horizontal 400 auquel la partie haute du panneau de porte 100 est suspendue. De plus, un rail inférieur 500 guide la partie basse du panneau de porte 100. Ce rail inférieur 500 est logé entre l'habillage 300 et la paroi P. Il est dimensionné de façon à rester invisible et à ne pas constituer un obstacle dans l'ouverture O.As shown in the drawing of the figure 2 , in order to guide this door panel 100 in its double arrow F1 translational movement, the device D comprises a horizontal rail 400 from which the upper part of the door panel 100 is suspended. In addition, a lower rail 500 guides the lower part of the door panel 100. This lower rail 500 is housed between the casing 300 and the wall P. It is dimensioned so as to remain invisible and not to constitute an obstacle in the wall. opening O.

Ce dessin de la figure 2 illustre également les premières étapes du montage du dispositif D dont :

  • l'installation au sol du rail inférieur 500,
  • la fixation en applique du rail supérieur 400 sur la paroi P au-dessus de l'ouverture O,
  • la fixation des montants d'habillage 310 et 320.
This drawing of the figure 2 also illustrates the first stages of assembly of device D including:
  • the ground installation of the lower rail 500,
  • the surface fixing of the upper rail 400 on the wall P above the opening O,
  • fixing the trim uprights 310 and 320.

L'étape suivante illustrée sur le dessin de la figure 3 concerne la mise en place de deux panneaux inférieurs d'habillage vertical de façade 330a et 330b ainsi que de la tapée 340.The next step illustrated in the drawing of the figure 3 concerns the installation of two lower vertical cladding panels for the facade 330a and 330b as well as the typed 340.

Selon un mode de réalisation non illustré, un seul panneau inférieur constitue la façade du volume d'accueil du panneau de porte 100.According to an embodiment not shown, a single lower panel constitutes the front of the reception volume of the door panel 100.

Comme illustré sur le dessin de la figure 4, un profilé additionnel de liaison 600 est installé ensuite pour réaliser la liaison du chant supérieur du panneau inférieur vertical 330a avec le rail 400.As shown in the drawing of the figure 4 , an additional connecting profile 600 is then installed to connect the upper edge of the vertical lower panel 330a with the rail 400.

Comme illustré sur les dessins des figures 1 et 5, un panneau supérieur d'habillage vertical de façade 350 est installé dans le même plan vertical que les panneaux inférieurs 330a et 330b et vient combler la surface de paroi P laissée libre entre les panneaux inférieurs 330a et 330b et le plafond (non illustré) que rejoint la paroi P. Enfin, un panneau vertical latéral de façade 360 est installé afin de couvrir la surface de paroi délimitée entre le montant 320 et la tapée 340.As shown in the drawings of figures 1 and 5 , an upper vertical facade cladding panel 350 is installed in the same vertical plane as the lower panels 330a and 330b and fills the wall surface P left free between the lower panels 330a and 330b and the ceiling (not shown) that joins the wall P. Finally, a vertical lateral facade panel 360 is installed in order to cover the wall surface delimited between the upright 320 and the tap 340.

Comme illustré sur le dessin de la figure 5, le profilé de liaison 600 est préformé pour assurer la jonction entre le chant supérieur 331 du panneau inférieur 330b et le chant inférieur 351 du panneau supérieur 350 tout en liant lesdits panneaux au rail 400. Un profilé d'habillage vient habiller le profilé de liaison en l'absence de panneau inférieur (au-dessus de l'ouverture O).As shown in the drawing of the figure 5 , the connecting profile 600 is preformed to ensure the junction between the upper edge 331 of the lower panel 330b and the lower edge 351 of the upper panel 350 while connecting said panels to the rail 400. A covering profile covers the connecting profile in the absence of a lower panel (above the opening O).

Comme illustré sur les dessins des figures 5, 6 et 7, le profilé additionnel de liaison 600 est un profilé linéaire qui adopte un profil en plusieurs parties dont une partie verticale plane centrale 610 présentant, sur sa face arrière, une préformation 620 permettant sa liaison avec le rail 400 et, sur sa face avant, une préformation 630 permettant sa liaison avec les panneaux d'habillage inférieur et supérieur.As shown in the drawings of figures 5 , 6 and 7 , the additional connecting profile 600 is a linear profile which adopts a profile in several parts including a central flat vertical part 610 having, on its rear face, a preformation 620 allowing its connection with the rail 400 and, on its front face, a preformation 630 allowing its connection with the lower and upper trim panels.

Selon le mode de réalisation illustré, la préformation 620 de liaison avec le rail 400 comprend deux projections horizontales symétriques 621 et 622 avec une extrémité adoptant un profil pentu autorisant la déformation élastique de la projection et le maintien en position. Comme illustrées, ces projections sont positionnées sur la face arrière de la partie verticale plane centrale de sorte que ladite face arrière serve de butée mécanique de fin de course à l'engagement des projections 621 et 622 sur les projections préformées dans le rail 400 et qui seront décrites plus bas.According to the illustrated embodiment, the preformation 620 for connection with the rail 400 comprises two symmetrical horizontal projections 621 and 622 with one end adopting a sloping profile allowing the elastic deformation of the projection and the maintenance in position. As illustrated, these projections are positioned on the rear face of the central flat vertical part so that said rear face serves as a mechanical end-of-travel stop. the engagement of the projections 621 and 622 on the projections preformed in the rail 400 and which will be described below.

La préformation 630 de liaison avec les panneaux d'habillage comprend deux projections coplanaires verticales avec l'une 631 orientée vers le haut et l'autre 632 orientée vers le bas et sur lesquelles viennent s'engager les chants 351 et 331 des panneaux verticaux d'habillage respectivement supérieur 350 et inférieur 330a et 330b. Ces deux projections verticales 631 et 632 sont issues du bord d'une partie plane horizontale 640 se projetant à partir de la face avant de la partie plane verticale 610.The preformation 630 for connection with the covering panels comprises two vertical coplanar projections with one 631 oriented upward and the other 632 oriented downward and on which the edges 351 and 331 of the vertical panels engage. 'respectively upper 350 and lower 330a and 330b cladding. These two vertical projections 631 and 632 come from the edge of a horizontal flat part 640 projecting from the front face of the vertical flat part 610.

Lesdits chants 351 et 331 sont chacun préformés d'une rainure verticale 352 et 332 de profil en U accueillant chacune une projection respectivement 631 et 632.Said edges 351 and 331 are each preformed with a vertical groove 352 and 332 of U-shaped profile each accommodating a projection 631 and 632 respectively.

Ces projections 631 et 632 adoptent un profil plat dont les deux faces comportent, au niveau de leur zone médiane, une nervure 633. Cette nervure 633 assure un frein suffisant pour permettre un ajustement serré entre la projection et la rainure. La partie d'épaisseur inférieure de la projection sur laquelle s'engage en premier la rainure permet une première phase de mise en position aisée du panneau avant le maintien en position proprement dit par poursuite de l'engagement de la rainure sur la projection nervurée.These projections 631 and 632 adopt a flat profile, the two faces of which have, at their middle zone, a rib 633. This rib 633 provides sufficient brake to allow a tight fit between the projection and the groove. The lower thickness portion of the projection on which the groove first engages allows a first phase of easy positioning of the panel before maintaining it in position proper by continuing the engagement of the groove on the ribbed projection.

Comme illustrée, la face avant de la partie centrale verticale 610 du profilé de liaison 600 sert de surface d'appui à la face verticale arrière du panneau d'habillage supérieur 350.As illustrated, the front face of the vertical central part 610 of the connecting profile 600 serves as a bearing surface for the rear vertical face of the upper trim panel 350.

Comme illustré, ledit profilé de liaison 600 est préformé de façon à positionner la liaison entre les chants des panneaux verticaux 350, 330a et 330b à une hauteur inférieure à celle dudit rail 400. Comme expliquée plus haut, cette caractéristique technique a pour conséquence que les panneaux d'habillage n'ont pas une hauteur plus grande que celle du panneau de porte. De plus, les montants 310 et 320 sont conçus en deux parties pour éviter que leur longueur ne soit supérieure à la hauteur du panneau de porte. Ces caractéristiques permettent de faciliter l'emballage et la manutention du dispositif en version démontée.As illustrated, said connecting profile 600 is preformed so as to position the connection between the edges of the vertical panels 350, 330a and 330b at a height less than that of said rail 400. As explained above, this technical characteristic has the consequence that the trim panels do not have a height greater than that of the door panel. In addition, the uprights 310 and 320 are designed in two parts to prevent their length from exceeding the height of the door panel. These characteristics make it possible to facilitate the packaging and handling of the device in the disassembled version.

Selon un mode de réalisation préféré, ledit profilé additionnel de liaison ainsi que le rail sont réalisés en aluminium (ou alliage d'aluminium) extrudé.According to a preferred embodiment, said additional connecting profile as well as the rail are made of extruded aluminum (or aluminum alloy).

Comme illustré sur les dessins des figures 5 et 8, le rail 400 est constitué par un assemblage de profilés préformés pour servir de surface de roulement à un ou plusieurs chariots 700 auxquels est suspendu ledit panneau de porte 100. L'assemblage forme une âme creuse sensiblement carrée 410 dans laquelle se déplace le ou lesdits chariots 700. La face inférieure de ce profilé carré 410 est ménagée d'une fente 411 autorisant des goujons 710 à relier le ou lesdits chariots 700 au panneau de porte 100. Deux ailettes se projettent de chaque côté de cette âme 410 de part et d'autre de l'axe de déplacement dudit chariot 700.As shown in the drawings of figures 5 and 8 , the rail 400 is formed by an assembly of preformed sections to serve as a running surface for one or more carriages 700 from which said door panel 100 is suspended. The assembly forms a substantially square hollow core 410 in which the said one or more moves move. trolleys 700. The lower face of this square section 410 is provided with a slot 411 allowing studs 710 to connect said trolley or trolleys 700 to the door panel 100. Two fins project on each side of this core 410 on both sides other of the axis of movement of said carriage 700.

Les deux ailettes 421 et 422 se projetant vers la paroi P sont préformées en équerre pour participer à la fixation du rail 400 à la paroi.The two fins 421 and 422 projecting towards the wall P are preformed at an angle to participate in the fixing of the rail 400 to the wall.

Les deux ailettes 431 et 432 se projetant à l'opposé de la paroi P sont préformées pour offrir des formes mâles auxquelles viennent s'adapter, à des fins de liaison démontable de type fixation par friction, soit le profilé additionnel de liaison 600 comme illustré sur le dessin de la figure 5, soit un panonceau et des joues d'habillage comme illustrés sur le dessin de la figure 11 lorsque le rail est seul habillé sans être associé à des panneaux d'habillage formant un volume d'accueil pour le panneau de porte.The two fins 431 and 432 projecting away from the wall P are preformed to offer male shapes to which are adapted, for the purposes of removable connection of the friction fixing type, either the additional connecting profile 600 as illustrated. on the drawing of the figure 5 , or a panel and trim panels as illustrated in the drawing of the figure 11 when the rail is only dressed without being associated with the covering panels forming a reception volume for the door panel.

Les dessins des figures 9 et 10 illustrent un module d'amortissement 800 de la course du chariot 700 et donc du panneau de porte 100. Ce module d'amortissement 800 est logé à une extrémité de l'âme creuse 410 du rail 400. Il comprend un corps 810 dans lequel se déplace en translation une extrémité d'une tige dont l'autre extrémité 820 est en saillie hors du corps. Cette tige est associée à un moyen élastique d'amortissement tel du gaz ou un ressort (non illustré). Le chariot 700 vient en butée contre cette extrémité saillante 820 lors de la fin de course d'ouverture du panneau de porte 100. La fin de course est ainsi amortie.The drawings of figures 9 and 10 illustrate a module 800 for damping the stroke of the carriage 700 and therefore of the door panel 100. This damping module 800 is housed at one end of the hollow core 410 of the rail 400. It comprises a body 810 in which it is located. translates one end of a rod, the other end 820 of which projects out of the body. This rod is associated with an elastic damping means such as gas or a spring (not shown). The carriage 700 comes into abutment against this projecting end 820 during the opening limit switch of the door panel 100. The limit switch is thus damped.

La face du corps à partir de laquelle saillit l'extrémité 820 de tige est en outre équipée d'une projection élastique 830 se projetant sur le chemin de déplacement dudit chariot 700 en amont du contact proposé par ladite extrémité saillante 820.The face of the body from which the rod end 820 projects is furthermore equipped with an elastic projection 830 projecting onto the path of movement of said carriage 700 upstream of the contact offered by said projecting end 820.

Cette projection 830 est préformée d'un volume concave 831 reprenant le diamètre extérieur de la roue 720 du chariot 700 à des fins d'accueil, de sorte qu'en fin de course, ladite roue 720 déforme la projection 830 en étant freinée puis est retenue dans ledit volume concave 831.This projection 830 is preformed with a concave volume 831 taking the outside diameter of the wheel 720 of the carriage 700 for reception purposes, so that at the end of its travel, said wheel 720 deforms the projection 830 by being braked and then is retained in said concave volume 831.

On comprend que le dispositif, qui vient d'être ci-dessus décrit et représenté, l'a été en vue d'une divulgation plutôt que d'une limitation. Bien entendu, divers aménagements, modifications et améliorations pourront être apportés à l'exemple ci-dessus, sans pour autant sortir du cadre de l'invention tel que défini par les revendications.It will be understood that the device, which has just been described and shown above, has been for the purpose of disclosure rather than limitation. Of course, various arrangements, modifications and improvements could be made to the above example, without however departing from the scope of the invention as defined by the claims.
