Description

La présente invention se situe dans le domaine des volets roulants ou similaires. Elle a plus précisément trait à la constitution des coffres de tels volets, et encore plus spécifiquement à l'assemblage de joues latérales à un caisson central, les joues et le caisson constituant ensemble le volume de rangement du volet, c'est-à-dire le coffre. Le coffre englobe le volet proprement dit lorsqu'il est enroulé, et les éléments mécaniques nécessaires à cet enroulement, au premier chef desquels se trouve l'arbre tournant qui imprime son mouvement au volet entre ses positions déployée, obturant au moins partiellement un ouvrant de bâtiment, et rangée.The present invention is in the field of roller shutters or the like. It relates more precisely to the constitution of the safes of such shutters, and even more specifically to the assembly of lateral cheeks to a central box, the cheeks and the box together constituting the storage volume of the shutter, that is to say say the chest. The trunk includes the shutter itself when it is rolled up, and the mechanical elements necessary for this winding, first of which is the rotating shaft which imparts its movement to the shutter between its deployed positions, at least partially closing an opening of building, and row.

Le document DE7046128U décrit un coffre de volet roulant à caisson selon l'art antérieur.The document DE7046128U describes a boxed rolling shutter box according to the prior art.

De manière connue, un volet roulant comprend à cet effet un tablier, généralement guidé verticalement par l'intermédiaire de glissières latérales disposées en bordure de l'ouvrant, et dont le bord supérieur est fixé à l'arbre d'enroulement. Cet arbre est relié à l'environnement immédiat du coffre et notamment aux moyens de commandes du volet notamment via une desdites joues, qui bordent en fait latéralement la structure d'entraînement du tablier et supportent sa rotation. L'arbre est en fait maintenu libre en rotation par rapport à ces joues, et entraîné par un système manuel accessible de l'extérieur du coffre ou par un moteur d'entraînement.In a known manner, a roller shutter for this purpose comprises an apron, generally guided vertically by means of lateral slides arranged at the edge of the opening, and the upper edge of which is fixed to the winding shaft. This shaft is connected to the immediate environment of the trunk and in particular to the shutter control means in particular via one of said cheeks, which in fact laterally border the drive structure of the deck and support its rotation. The shaft is in fact kept free to rotate relative to these cheeks, and driven by a manual system accessible from the outside of the boot or by a drive motor.

Pour des raisons d'abord mécaniques tenant notamment aux liaisons précitées et aux guidages qu'elles impliquent, mais également pour des raisons esthétiques, le mode de fixation des joues au caisson doit faire l'objet d'une attention particulière au moment de la conception des pièces.For mechanical reasons, in particular due to the aforementioned connections and the guides they imply, but also for aesthetic reasons, the method of fixing the cheeks to the box must be subject to special attention at the time of design. pieces.

Au-delà de la nécessité d'un mode de solidarisation démontable, fiable et pérenne, des enjeux industriels doivent être pris en compte autant pour la conception et la fabrication des joues et du caisson proprement dits que pour l'ensemble des opérations d'assemblage, en aval de ladite fabrication.Beyond the need for a removable, reliable and long-lasting method of securing, industrial issues must be taken into account as much for the design and manufacture of the cheeks and the box itself as for all assembly operations , downstream of said manufacturing.

A ce jour, les moyens de solidarisation des joues aux caissons que l'on peut trouver dans les configurations existantes impliquent en général des organes ou composants spécifiques de fixation, par exemple de type vis et/ou rivets. Ces moyens, certes d'usage universel et faciles à mettre en œuvre, sont cependant souvent employés au détriment de la précision d'assemblage, et ils conduisent à des opérations manuelles de fixation des joues aux caissons qui prennent du temps. Ce caractère manuel se retrouve évidemment ensuite lors de toutes les opérations de démontage/remontage.To date, the means for securing the cheeks to the boxes that can be found in existing configurations generally involve specific fixing members or components, for example of the screw and / or rivet type. These means, admittedly of universal use and easy to implement, are however often used to the detriment of assembly precision, and they lead to manual operations of fixing the cheeks to the boxes which take time. This manual nature is evidently then found during all disassembly / reassembly operations.

Il se traduit par une durée d'intervention non négligeable, qui dépend d'ailleurs notamment du nombre d'organes de fixation employés, d'où une tendance à en utiliser un nombre minimal pouvant entraîner le manque de précision dont il a été fait état auparavant.It results in a significant intervention time, which also depends in particular on the number of fasteners used, hence a tendency to use a minimum number which can lead to the lack of precision which has been reported. before.

Par ailleurs, ce type de solution n'est en général pas automatisée et en tout état de cause pas facilement automatisable, et elle occupe dès lors au moins un opérateur à chaque opération de montage/démontage. La durée totale des opérations, et la nécessité d'y assigner du temps de travail affectable à au moins un opérateur, rendent ce genre d'installations peu attractif sur un plan strictement économique.Furthermore, this type of solution is generally not automated and in any case not easily automated, and it therefore occupies at least one operator for each assembly / disassembly operation. The total duration of the operations, and the need to allocate work time that can be assigned to at least one operator, make this type of installation unattractive on a strictly economic level.

La présente invention remédie à ce constat, en proposant une solution aisément automatisable, donc dépourvue autant que possible d'intervention humaine, fonctionnant de surcroît sans pièces de montage additionnelles extérieures au système. La solution proposée est en outre rapide à implémenter, et elle permet d'aboutir à un résultat final d'une grande précision auquel on peut conférer des caractéristiques esthétiques très abouties.The present invention remedies this observation, by proposing a solution that can be easily automated, therefore devoid as much as possible of human intervention, additionally operating without additional mounting parts outside the system. The proposed solution is also quick to implement, and it leads to a final result of great precision which can be given very successful aesthetic characteristics.

Pour remplir ces objectifs, et d'autres qui apparaîtront dans la suite, l'invention, qui concerne en pratique un coffre de volet roulant à caisson central et joues latérales selon la revendication 1.To fulfill these objectives, and others which will appear hereinafter, the invention, which in practice relates to a rolling shutter box with a central box and side cheeks according to claim 1.

Un avantage immédiat d'une telle configuration est d'ordre pratique, puisqu'elle permet d'accroître sensiblement la rapidité de mise en œuvre et la précision du montage. Secondairement, il n'y a plus lieu de se préoccuper de sélectionner les pièces adaptées pour réaliser la fixation, et il n'y a plus non plus de risques de perte des matériels/composants en question, susceptibles d'occasionner des pertes de temps fâcheuses.An immediate advantage of such a configuration is practical, since it makes it possible to significantly increase the speed of implementation and the precision of assembly. Secondly, there is no longer any need to worry about selecting the suitable parts to carry out the fixing, and there is also no longer any risk of loss of the materials / components in question, likely to cause loss of time. annoying.

La simple existence de pattes à déformer permet aussi, si elle est souhaitée, la mise en œuvre d'une automatisation qui nécessite dans un premier temps un positionnement relatif des joues et du caisson et dans un second temps la déformation des pattes en vue du blocage des joues dans le caisson, opérations relativement aisées à automatiser.The simple existence of legs to be deformed also allows, if desired, the implementation of a automation which firstly requires a relative positioning of the cheeks and the box and secondly the deformation of the legs in order to block the cheeks in the box, operations relatively easy to automate.

Plus précisément, la jonction d'une patte découpée avec le caisson formant de fait un segment rectiligne, ledit segment est orienté sensiblement parallèlement à l'axe longitudinal du caisson, selon l'invention, et la déformation de la patte s'effectue ensuite par rotation autour de ce segment.More specifically, the junction of a cut tab with the box effectively forming a straight segment, said segment is oriented substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the box, according to the invention, and the deformation of the tab is then carried out by rotation around this segment.

Il s'agit donc d'un type de déformation tout à fait élémentaire, qui contribue à la simplicité d'implémentation soulignée auparavant, et permet in fine de mettre en œuvre une automatisation des opérations de montage/démontage.It is therefore a completely elementary type of deformation, which contributes to the simplicity of implementation outlined above, and ultimately allows the automation of assembly / disassembly operations.

En pratique, deux chants d'au moins certaines des pattes issues des extrémités du segment de jonction présentent une convergence conférant une forme trapézoïdale à au moins une portion de ladite patte d'axe d'allure perpendiculaire à l'axe longitudinal du caisson, cette orientation permettant de réaliser un blocage longitudinal des joues. La forme trapézoïdale autorise un centrage progressif à mesure du pliage et elle garantit une meilleure maîtrise de la position finale sans nécessiter une mise en position trop précise avant pliage. Alternativement, lesdits chants peuvent être prévus parallèles et d'allure perpendiculaire à l'axe longitudinal du caisson.In practice, two edges of at least some of the tabs coming from the ends of the junction segment have a convergence giving a trapezoidal shape to at least a portion of said tab with an axis of shape perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the box, this orientation to achieve longitudinal locking of the cheeks. The trapezoidal shape allows progressive centering as it is folded and it guarantees better control of the final position without requiring too precise positioning before folding. Alternatively, said edges may be provided parallel and of shape perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the box.

Pour réaliser pleinement une fonction de fixation qui n'est pas limitée à une direction d'allure parallèle à l'axe longitudinal du caisson, la patte peut être en forme de L, comportant donc un ergot terminal s'insérant dans un évidement présentant au moins une paroi en regard dudit ergot d'allure parallèle à l'axe longitudinal du caisson et située entre l'ergot et la périphérie de la joue.To fully realize a fixing function which is not limited to a direction of shape parallel to the longitudinal axis of the box, the tab can be L-shaped, therefore comprising a terminal lug fitting in a recess having at least one wall facing said lug of shape parallel to the longitudinal axis of the box and located between the lug and the periphery of the cheek.

Cet ergot permet en fait un verrouillage dans une direction perpendiculaire à la précédente, dont l'orientation est plutôt d'allure radiale. Il empêche le caisson, dont on verra dans la suite qu'il ne comporte pas nécessairement de cloisons sur toute sa périphérie, d'être décollé d'une paroi par exemple lorsqu'il est sollicité en direction d'une partie de la périphérie dépourvue de cloison. Plus généralement, cette caractéristique de fixation supplémentaire vise à assurer un blocage complet dans au moins deux directions.This lug actually allows locking in a direction perpendicular to the previous one, whose orientation is rather radial in appearance. It prevents the box, which we will see below that it does not necessarily have partitions over its entire periphery, to be detached from a wall for example when it is biased towards a part of the periphery without of partition. More generally, this additional fixing characteristic aims to ensure complete blocking in at least two directions.

Cela étant, les pattes peuvent aussi être plus simples, selon la nature, la géométrie et éventuellement le positionnement des logements prévus dans le pourtour des joues, comme on le verra dans la suite.However, the legs can also be simpler, depending on the nature, the geometry and possibly the positioning of the housings provided in the periphery of the cheeks, as will be seen below.

Ainsi, selon une configuration possible, évoquée ci-dessus, le caisson peut être prismatique et comporter trois parois principales perpendiculaires deux à deux pour constituer une section globalement en U. Une telle forme s'explique notamment par le fait que la paroi manquante pour clore le volume est occupée par une trappe de visite.Thus, according to a possible configuration, mentioned above, the box can be prismatic and have three main walls perpendicular two by two to form a generally U-shaped section. Such a shape is explained in particular by the fact that the missing wall to close the volume is occupied by a trap door.

Dans ce cas, les extrémités libres des parois parallèles peuvent comporter des replis ou rabats vers l'intérieur, formant glissières qui peuvent servir au guidage des joues dans le volume intérieur délimité par les parois du caisson. Ce guidage peut notamment intervenir au moment de l'encastrement initial visant à positionner chaque joue dans le volume du caisson, à proximité de ses extrémités axiales.In this case, the free ends of the parallel walls may have folds or flaps inwards, forming slides which can be used to guide the cheeks in the interior volume delimited by the walls of the box. This guidance can in particular take place at the time of the initial fitting aiming to position each cheek in the volume of the box, near its axial ends.

Selon une possibilité propre à l'invention, et qui reflète la configuration particulière des caissons présentant la particularité géométrique mentionnée ci-dessus, les pattes sont au nombre de trois, localisées dans deux parois et un repli dudit caisson.According to a possibility specific to the invention, and which reflects the particular configuration of the boxes having the geometric feature mentioned above, the legs are three in number, located in two walls and a fold of said box.

En pratique, deux pattes découpées peuvent être en forme de L à fût trapézoïdal dont la base forme l'ergot précité, la troisième patte, placée dans un repli en glissière, pouvant prendre la forme d'une languette droite. Dans ce dernier cas, l'insertion dans une fente du caisson, en l'occurrence dans une fente du repli ou rabat, vise à empêcher un déplacement relatif dans le sens axial du caisson, mais n'a pas d'effet dans d'autres directions pour lesquelles ce sont des formes particulières du caisson et de la joue qui réalisent les blocages, s'il y a lieu.In practice, two cut legs can be L-shaped trapezoidal barrel whose base forms the aforementioned lug, the third leg, placed in a fold in slide, can take the form of a straight tongue. In the latter case, the insertion into a slot in the box, in this case in a slot in the fold or flap, is intended to prevent relative displacement in the axial direction of the box, but has no effect in other directions for which it is particular forms of the box and the cheek which carry out the blockings, if necessary.

Toutes ces caractéristiques permettent de réaliser une fixation rapide et précise des joues dans un caisson central, aboutissant à réaliser un coffre de volet roulant à l'esthétique extérieure irréprochable, et dont le montage/démontage est aisé et immédiat du fait des choix technologiques effectués.All of these characteristics make it possible to quickly and precisely fix the cheeks in a central box, resulting in the production of a rolling shutter box with impeccable exterior aesthetics, the assembly / disassembly of which is easy and immediate due to the technological choices made.

L'invention va à présent être décrite plus en détail, en référence aux figures annexées qui représentent un exemple de mise en œuvre non limitatif de l'invention, et pour lesquelles :

  • la figure 1 représente en perspective une portion d'un caisson de coffre selon l'invention ;
  • la figure 2 montre, également en vue perspective, ladite portion, dans l'extrémité libre de laquelle une joue est montée, un détail agrandi d'une zone de fixation selon un premier mode de fixation étant représenté ;
  • la figure 3 montre la même zone de fixation selon une vue de face ; et
  • la figure 4 représente une vue perspective selon un angle différent de celle de la figure 2, montrant plus clairement une autre zone de fixation avec un second mode de fixation, un détail agrandi de ce second mode de fixation étant également montré.
The invention will now be described in more detail, with reference to the appended figures which represent an example of non-limiting implementation of the invention, and for which:
  • the figure 1 shows in perspective a portion of a trunk box according to the invention;
  • the figure 2 shows, also in perspective view, said portion, in the free end of which a cheek is mounted, an enlarged detail of a fixing zone according to a first method of fixing being shown;
  • the figure 3 shows the same attachment area in a front view; and
  • the figure 4 represents a perspective view from a different angle than that of the figure 2 , showing more clearly another attachment zone with a second attachment mode, an enlarged detail of this second attachment mode also being shown.

En référence à la figure 1, le caisson 1 en tôle découpée et pliée de manière telle que montré comporte trois parois 2, 3 et 4 disposées sensiblement en U, c'est-à-dire que les parois sont d'allure perpendiculaire deux à deux. Les extrémités libres des parois 2 et 4 sont munies de replis ou rabats 5, 6 pouvant former des glissières notamment utilisées dans la première phase de montage du coffre. Les parois 3 et 4 sont au surplus séparées par une face oblique 7. Ces mêmes parois 3, 4 comportent des découpes 8, 9 respectivement munies de pattes 10, 11 en forme de L. Lesdites pattes 10 et 11 sont placées sensiblement au centre de découpes 8 et 9, en ce sens qu'il subsiste de l'espace entre elles et les chants délimitant lesdites découpes 8, 9.With reference to the figure 1 , the box 1 made of sheet metal cut and folded in such a manner as shown comprises three walls 2, 3 and 4 arranged substantially in a U, that is to say that the walls are of perpendicular appearance two by two. The free ends of the walls 2 and 4 are provided with folds or flaps 5, 6 which can form slides in particular used in the first phase of mounting the trunk. The walls 3 and 4 are further separated by an oblique face 7. These same walls 3, 4 have cutouts 8, 9 respectively provided with L-shaped legs 10, 11. Said legs 10 and 11 are placed substantially in the center of cutouts 8 and 9, in the sense that there is space between them and the edges delimiting said cutouts 8, 9.

Une languette 12 est par ailleurs découpée dans le rabat 6. A l'inverse de la configuration utilisée pour les pattes 10, 11 en L, la languette 12 est obtenue par simple sectionnement en U délimitant sa surface, aucune partie découpée résiduelle ne l'entourant.A tongue 12 is also cut in the flap 6. Unlike the configuration used for the legs 10, 11 in L, the tongue 12 is obtained by simple sectioning in U delimiting its surface, no residual cut part surrounding.

Lorsqu'une joue 20, réalisée par exemple par moulage plastique et dotée de rainures/nervures notamment de rigidification, est insérée dans le caisson 1 comme illustré par exemple en figure 2, ladite insertion s'effectue par coulissement à chacune des extrémités axiales du caisson 1, coulissement rendu possible par l'identité des formes extérieure de la joue 20 et intérieure du caisson 1. En d'autres termes, la périphérie extérieure de la joue 20 se conforme au volume intérieur délimité par le caisson 1, et comporte à cet effet trois faces en U d'allure perpendiculaire deux à deux, deux d'entre elles étant d'ailleurs séparées par une portion oblique qui glisse au contact de la portion 7 du caisson 1.When a cheek 20, produced for example by plastic molding and provided with grooves / ribs in particular for stiffening, is inserted into the box 1 as illustrated for example in figure 2 , said insertion is effected by sliding at each of the axial ends of the box 1, sliding made possible by the identity of the external shapes of the cheek 20 and inside of the box 1. In other words, the outside periphery of the cheek 20 conforms to the internal volume delimited by the box 1, and for this purpose comprises three U-shaped faces of perpendicular appearance two by two, two of they are moreover separated by an oblique portion which slides in contact with the portion 7 of the box 1.

La fixation de la joue 20 dans le caisson 1 s'effectue ensuite par déformation d'une part des pattes 10 et 11 des découpes 9 et 10 dans les deux côtés adjacents 3 et 4, et d'autre part par déformation de la languette 12 découpée dans le rabat 6.The cheek 20 is fixed in the box 1 then by deformation on the one hand of the tabs 10 and 11 of the cutouts 9 and 10 in the two adjacent sides 3 and 4, and on the other hand by deformation of the tongue 12 cut out from the flap 6.

Le principe de la fixation est expliqué plus clairement, pour les pattes 10 et 11 en L, en référence simultanément à l'agrandissement situé à droite de la figure 2 et à la figure 3, qui représentent la même liaison mécanique sous deux angles différents. Comme cela apparaît dans ces figures, la patte 10 en L est constituée d'un fût 14, en l'occurrence légèrement trapézoïdale, et d'une base 15 constituant l'ergot dont il a été fait état auparavant (voir en particulier en figure 3) dont les orientations respectives sont utilisées pour réaliser un blocage relatif de la joue 20 et du caisson 1.The principle of the fixing is explained more clearly, for the legs 10 and 11 in L, with reference simultaneously to the enlargement located on the right of the figure 2 and at the figure 3 , which represent the same mechanical connection from two different angles. As shown in these figures, the L-shaped tab 10 consists of a barrel 14, in this case slightly trapezoidal, and of a base 15 constituting the lug which has been mentioned previously (see in particular in figure 3 ) whose respective orientations are used to achieve a relative blocking of the cheek 20 and the box 1.

Un logement 18 est prévu pour chaque patte 10, 11 en périphérie de la joue 20. La description qui suit s'applique plus particulièrement à la patte 10, seule visible sur les figures 2 et 3, mais une même explication peut s'appliquer mutatis mutandis à la patte 11 qui obéit à la même configuration. Ce logement 18 peut prendre différentes formes, dans la mesure où certaines caractéristiques sont respectées : ainsi, il doit comporter des parois 16 opposées orientées en regard du fût 14 de la patte 10, afin de réaliser un blocage de la joue 20 dans la direction de l'axe longitudinal du caisson 1. De même, le logement 18 comporte une paroi 17 orientée sensiblement parallèlement audit axe, qui est en vis-à-vis et surmonte la base 15 de la patte en L 10, afin d'empêcher tout déplacement de la joue 20 visant à l'écarter de la paroi 3 du caisson 1, notamment en direction du côté opposé dudit caisson 1 dépourvu de paroi. Enfin, le logement 18 doit permettre la rotation de la patte en L lors de son pliage autour de l'arête 13 pour l'orienter perpendiculairement à la paroi 3 dans laquelle est initialement découpée la forme qui la constitue. En fin de déformation, la patte 10 est logée dans des évidements du logement 18 qui présentent les surfaces 16 et 17.A housing 18 is provided for each tab 10, 11 at the periphery of the cheek 20. The following description applies more particularly to the tab 10, which is only visible on the figures 2 and 3 , but the same explanation can apply mutatis mutandis to tab 11 which obeys the same configuration. This housing 18 can take different forms, insofar as certain characteristics are respected: thus, it must have opposite walls 16 oriented opposite the barrel 14 of the tab 10, in order to block the plays 20 in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the box 1. Similarly, the housing 18 comprises a wall 17 oriented substantially parallel to said axis, which is opposite and surmounts the base 15 of the L-shaped tab 10, in order to prevent any displacement of the cheek 20 aiming to move it away from the wall 3 of the box 1, in particular in the direction of the opposite side of said box 1 devoid of wall. Finally, the housing 18 must allow the rotation of the L-shaped tab when it is folded around the edge 13 to orient it perpendicularly to the wall 3 from which the shape which constitutes it is initially cut. At the end of the deformation, the tab 10 is housed in recesses in the housing 18 which have the surfaces 16 and 17.

La troisième patte de fixation, dénommée languette 12, est réalisée par découpe dans un rabat 6 de la tôle formant le caisson 1, et elle constitue en pratique une simple découpe en U constituant la languette droite 12, laquelle peut ensuite être déformée dans une fente 21 d'une protubérance 22 de la joue 20. Celle-ci, qui dépasse du corps principal de la joue 20, est insérée dans une glissière 19 formée par le rabat 6 dans le caisson 1. La structure de cette liaison apparaît dans l'agrandissement placé à gauche de la figure 4.The third fixing lug, called tongue 12, is produced by cutting from a flap 6 of the sheet forming the box 1, and it constitutes in practice a simple U-shaped cut constituting the straight tongue 12, which can then be deformed in a slot 21 of a protuberance 22 of the cheek 20. The latter, which protrudes from the main body of the cheek 20, is inserted into a slide 19 formed by the flap 6 in the box 1. The structure of this connection appears in the enlargement to the left of figure 4 .

La languette 12 est en pratique déformée par rotation autour de l'axe constitué par un segment 23 qui relie la languette 12 au reste du rabat 6, déformation qui aboutit en pratique à l'extraction de la languette 12 hors de la paroi du rabat 6 pour être ensuite insérée dans ladite fente 21. Un blocage dans la direction de l'axe longitudinal du caisson 1 est réalisé par la languette 12, du fait de la proximité et de l'orientation mutuelle des faces en regard de la languette 12 et de la fente 21. Il est par ailleurs à noter que la forme particulière qui est donnée au rabat 6 lors du repli de la tôle pour constituer la glissière qu'il délimite, ainsi que la forme de la protubérance 22 de la joue 20, ne jouent pas qu'un rôle de guidage en coulissement de l'un dans l'autre, mais réalisent aussi un blocage mutuel dans d'autres directions.The tongue 12 is in practice deformed by rotation about the axis constituted by a segment 23 which connects the tongue 12 to the rest of the flap 6, deformation which results in practice in the extraction of the tongue 12 from the wall of the flap 6 to then be inserted into said slot 21. A blocking in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the box 1 is produced by the tongue 12, due to the proximity and the mutual orientation of the opposite faces of the tongue 12 and slot 21. It It should also be noted that the particular shape which is given to the flap 6 during the folding of the sheet to constitute the slide which it delimits, as well as the shape of the protuberance 22 of the cheek 20, do not play only a role. sliding guide from one to the other, but also achieve mutual blocking in other directions.

La coopération des pattes en L 10, 11 et des logements 18 d'une part, celle de la languette 12 avec la fente 21 combinée aux formes relatives du rabat 6 et de la protubérance 22 d'autre part, contribuent à un blocage efficace de chaque joue 20 dans le caisson 1. Ces moyens de liaison permettent également de réaliser un positionnement précis de l'un dans l'autre, aboutissant à une apparence irréprochable du coffre de volet roulant notamment parce que l'aspect extérieur du coffre est largement tributaire du caisson, dont la forme résulte d'opérations bien maîtrisées de découpage / pliage / emboutissage. Enfin, le mode de fixation par languette mis en œuvre dans le cadre de l'invention permet d'aboutir à une solution invisible : l'implantation de la languette 12 dans le rabat 6 n'est pas visible de l'extérieur, et les languettes 10, 11 des faces 3 et 4 ne sont pas non plus visibles lorsque le coffre est installé.The cooperation of the L-shaped legs 10, 11 and the housings 18 on the one hand, that of the tongue 12 with the slot 21 combined with the relative shapes of the flap 6 and of the protuberance 22 on the other hand, contribute to an effective blocking of each cheek 20 in the box 1. These connecting means also make it possible to achieve precise positioning of one inside the other, resulting in an irreproachable appearance of the roller shutter box, in particular because the external appearance of the box is largely dependent of the box, the shape of which results from well-controlled cutting / folding / stamping operations. Finally, the method of fixing by tongue implemented in the context of the invention makes it possible to arrive at an invisible solution: the location of the tongue 12 in the flap 6 is not visible from the outside, and the tabs 10, 11 on faces 3 and 4 are also not visible when the trunk is installed.

On constate bien que les liaisons selon l'invention s'effectuent sans apport de matériels ou composants (vis, rivets..) supplémentaires, et que la simple déformation des pattes 10 à 12 autour d'un segment de liaison au caisson 1 peut aisément être automatisée, ce qui conduit à des gains temporels conséquents au cours de la fabrication des coffres de volets roulants ainsi qu'au cours des opérations de montage / démontage. Il est à noter que lors du pliage des pattes, la joue sert de matrice de pliage : les pattes peuvent donc aussi très facilement être pliées à la main ou avec un simple outil tel qu'un tournevis.It can be seen that the connections according to the invention are carried out without the addition of additional materials or components (screws, rivets, etc.), and that the simple deformation of the lugs 10 to 12 around a connection segment to the box 1 can easily be automated, which leads to significant time savings during the manufacture of roller shutter boxes as well as during assembly / disassembly operations. It should be noted that when the legs are folded, the cheek acts as a matrix for folding: the legs can therefore also very easily be folded by hand or with a simple tool such as a screwdriver.

L'invention ne se limite bien entendu pas à l'exemple décrit et expliqué en référence aux figures, qui ne doit être considéré que comme une simple illustration de l'invention. Elle englobe au contraire les variantes et versions qui entrent dans la portée des revendications, incluant par exemple les variations de forme et de positionnement des pattes 10 à 12, des découpes 8 et 9, des logements 18, etc. Pour réaliser les conditions techniques des liaisons montrées, une grande variété de formes est possible, à condition de respecter certaines contraintes essentielles qui ont été soulignées auparavant.The invention is of course not limited to the example described and explained with reference to the figures, which should only be considered as a simple illustration of the invention. On the contrary, it includes variants and versions which fall within the scope of the claims, including for example the variations in shape and positioning of the legs 10 to 12, cutouts 8 and 9, housings 18, etc. To achieve the technical conditions of the connections shown, a wide variety of forms is possible, provided that certain essential constraints which have been outlined above are respected.
