Description
L'invention concerne un dispositif d'ombrage adapté pour couvrir au moins partiellement une ouverture murale, en façade de bâtiment, telle qu'une fenêtre, ledit dispositif comprenant un élément de protection telle qu'une toile, adapté pour couvrir au moins partiellement ladite ouverture murale, un support pour fixer ledit élément de protection, ledit support comprenant au moins un élément transversal supérieur horizontal, adapté pour maintenir le haut de l'élément de protection, et ses deux extrémités, et un second élément transversal inférieur horizontal, adapté pour maintenir le bas de l'élément de protection, comprenant une première et une deuxième extrémité.The invention relates to a shading device adapted to cover at least partially a wall opening, on the facade of a building, such as a window, said device comprising a protective element such as a canvas, adapted to cover at least partially said wall opening, a support for fixing said protection element, said support comprising at least one horizontal upper transverse element, adapted to hold the top of the protection element, and its two ends, and a second horizontal lower transverse element, suitable for hold the bottom of the protective element, comprising a first and a second end.
Ce dispositif d'ombrage selon la présente invention est particulièrement adapté pour une protection contre le rayonnement, la lumière et la chaleur du soleil, et sa réverbération, contre le vis-à-vis de proximité, en ville par exemple, et pour permettre la circulation de l'air et une ventilation naturelle.This shading device according to the present invention is particularly suitable for protection against radiation, light and heat of the sun, and its reverberation, against the vis-à-vis proximity, in town for example, and to allow the air circulation and natural ventilation.
De nos jours, il existe différents types de protections destinées à des ouvertures murales, telles que des fenêtres. Ceux-ci sont utilisés pour exercer différentes fonctions. A titre d'exemple, des volets roulants sont utilisés pour fermer solidement les fenêtres, les protéger donc des intrusions, et également limiter la lumière et les écarts thermiques, tamiser et occulter jusqu'à l'obscurité complète. Ce sont des éléments rigides, opaques, mobiles et coulissants, permettant toute une variation de positions, de la fermeture à l'ouverture. D'autres protections, spécifiques, telles que les stores (toile, vénitiens, californiens, etc.), en extérieur ou en intérieur, permettent de protéger de la pluie ou du rayonnement du soleil et éventuellement du vis à vis.Nowadays, there are different types of protections for wall openings, such as windows. These are used to perform various functions. For example, roller shutters are used to securely close windows, thus protecting them from intrusions, and also limiting light and thermal differences, sifting and obscuring until complete darkness. These are rigid, opaque, mobile and sliding elements, allowing a whole variation of positions, from closing to opening. Other protections, specific, such as blinds (canvas, Venetian, Californian, etc.), outdoors or indoors, protect from rain or sunlight and possibly overlooked.
Le type de protection utilisé pour une ouverture murale déterminée dépend, d'une part, des besoins d'un utilisateur concernant son habitation mais, d'autre part, d'autres conditions, comme par exemple les matériaux utilisés pour la construction de l'habitation concernée, l'architecture, le style, les volumes, les formes spécifiques et les ornements de façade parfois incompatibles avec toute pose de store, les normes du bâtiment. Ainsi, même la forme et les dimensions d'une ouverture murale telle qu'une fenêtre, joue un rôle important dans la sélection d'un type particulier de protection. En effet, une protection adéquate sera choisie différemment pour une fenêtre verticale, très étroite, ou pour une fenêtre qui s'étend dans un sens horizontal. On observe aussi qu'un grand nombre de fenêtres ne peuvent accueillir de stores extérieurs et ne permettent absolument pas d'envisager un dispositif extérieur en façade.The type of protection used for a specific wall opening depends, on the one hand, on the needs of a user concerning his dwelling but, on the other hand, on other conditions, such as for example the materials used for the construction of the house concerned, architecture, style, volumes, specific forms and facade ornaments sometimes incompatible with any installation of blinds, building standards. Thus, even the shape and dimensions of a wall opening, such as a window, play an important role in the selection of a particular type of protection. Indeed, adequate protection will be chosen differently for a vertical window, very narrow, or for a window that extends in a horizontal direction. We also observe that a large number of windows cannot accommodate external blinds and absolutely do not allow to envisage an external device on the facade.
Les conditions climatiques spécifiques du lieu sont également un critère de choix important. La chaleur et les canicules d'été de plus en plus fréquentes interpellent les usagers qui désirent s'en protéger, sans toutefois faire un usage abusif des climatisations, avec raison. Une grande partie des habitations sont pourvues d'équipement de type volets roulants, rarement à projection. Ainsi, pendant la saison chaude, en Méditerranée, une majorité des habitants vivent, tout le jour, volets roulants fermés pour échapper au rayonnement solaire et donc, de ce fait, avec lumière artificielle, ventilation et climatisation, d'où une grande dépense énergétique, incohérente et importante, pour un confort somme toute assez médiocre, et sanitairement contestable. Il suffit, pour le constater, de se promener en centre ville de Nice, par exemple, l'été pour constater des façades entières aux volets fermés toute la journée.The specific climatic conditions of the place are also an important selection criterion. The increasingly frequent heat and summer heat waves challenge users who want to protect themselves from it, without however making excessive use of air conditioning, with good reason. A large part of the dwellings are equipped with rolling shutter type equipment, rarely with projection. Thus, during the hot season, in the Mediterranean, a majority of the inhabitants live, all day long, shutters closed to escape the solar radiation and therefore, therefore, with artificial light, ventilation and air conditioning, hence a great energy expenditure , incoherent and important, for comfort which is quite mediocre, and sanitary questionable. It is enough, to see it, to walk in the city center of Nice, for example, in summer to see whole facades with shutters closed all day.
Au regard des observations précitées, il semble exister un besoin auquel pourrait répondre un dispositif d'ombrage pouvant également servir de dispositif d'ombrage additionnel aux types de protections principales déjà existantes (volets à battants, plein ou ajourés, pliants, roulants, coulissants, fer forgé, moustiquaires) et autrement servir de dispositif d'ombrage principal.In view of the above observations, there seems to be a need which could be met by a shading device which can also serve as an additional shading device to the types of main protection already existing (casement shutters, solid or openwork, folding, rolling, sliding, wrought iron, mosquito nets) and otherwise serve as the main shading device.
La conception de l'invention est sous-tendue par une volonté constante de recherche de la plus grande simplicité des éléments du dispositif, pour permettre un usage quotidien aisé, un éventuel montage-démontage facile (entretien, changement facile de pièces détachées retardant l'obsolescence dudit dispositif, et hivernage annuel). Volontairement conçu pour usage manuel (économie d'énergie), il pourra néanmoins être envisagé en version électrique, puis connectée.The design of the invention is underpinned by a constant desire to seek the greatest simplicity of the elements of the device, to allow easy daily use, possible easy assembly-disassembly (maintenance, easy change of spare parts delaying the obsolescence of said device, and annual wintering). Voluntarily designed for manual use (energy saving), it can nevertheless be considered in an electric version, then connected.
Ainsi, le but de la présente invention est de fournir une solution simple, ergonomique et peu onéreuse, en toute sécurité, permettant d'établir ou de compléter la protection des ouvertures murales.Thus, the object of the present invention is to provide a simple, ergonomic and inexpensive solution, in complete safety, making it possible to establish or supplement the protection of wall openings.

Selon la présente invention, ledit élément de préhension peut être fixé sur le support. De manière alternative, l'élément de préhension est formé par le support. Dans ce cas, un mouvement du support entre une première et une deuxième position effectue, respectivement, le blocage et le déblocage des membres coulissants dans les guides.According to the present invention, said gripping element can be fixed on the support. Alternatively, the gripping element is formed by the support. In this case, a movement of the support between a first and a second position performs, respectively, the locking and unlocking of the sliding members in the guides.
Selon un mode de réalisation, le support est fixé sur les membres coulissants pour permettre le réglage de l'inclinaison du support par rapport aux guides et dans lequel l'élément de préhension est formé par au moins une partie dudit support, la première position et la deuxième position dudit élément de préhension correspondant, respectivement, à une première et à une deuxième inclinaison du support par rapport auxdits guides.According to one embodiment, the support is fixed on the sliding members to allow the inclination of the support to be adjusted relative to the guides and in which the gripping element is formed by at least part of said support, the first position and the second position of said gripping element corresponding, respectively, to a first and a second inclination of the support relative to said guides.

Ladite poignée ou manivelle est connectée à un élément d'arrêt grâce auquel ladite poignée ou manivelle effectue le déplacement dudit élément d'arrêt, entre une première position non-opérationnelle, permettant aux membres coulissants de se déplacer par rapport aux guides, et une deuxième position permettant de fixer lesdits membres coulissants dans lesdits guides.The device is, for example, provided with a handle or crank movable in two positions: one to allow the sliding members to move relative to the guides, the other allowing the immobilization of the sliding members. Said handle or crank is connected to a stop element by which said handle or crank moves said stop element between a first non-operational position, allowing the sliding members to move relative to the guides, and a second position for fixing said sliding members in said guides.
Selon un mode de réalisation, la manivelle mobile est fournie par un mécanisme dans lequel la première position de ladite manivelle mobile correspond à une première position des bras de déploiement tels que des bras articulés et dans lequel la deuxième position de ladite manivelle mobile correspond à une deuxième inclinaison desdits bras de déploiement.According to one embodiment, the mobile crank is provided by a mechanism in which the first position of said mobile crank corresponds to a first position of the deployment arms such as articulated arms and in which the second position of said mobile crank corresponds to a second inclination of said deployment arms.
Selon un mode de réalisation, le support comprend :
- un premier raidisseur adapté pour être fixé entre la première extrémité de l'élément transversal supérieur et la première extrémité de l'élément transversal inférieur et un deuxième raidisseur adapté pour être fixé entre la deuxième extrémité de l'élément transversal supérieur et la deuxième extrémité de l'élément transversal inférieur pour ainsi former un cadre avec lesdits éléments transversaux.
- a first stiffener adapted to be fixed between the first end of the upper transverse element and the first end of the lower transverse element and a second stiffener adapted to be fixed between the second end of the upper transverse element and the second end of the lower transverse element to thereby form a frame with said transverse elements.
Selon un mode de réalisation, chaque raidisseur se présente sous une forme courbée afin de former une surface d'impact arrondie en cas d'un éventuel impact selon une direction essentiellement perpendiculaire à la surface extérieure dudit raidisseur.According to one embodiment, each stiffener is in a curved form in order to form a rounded impact surface in the event of a possible impact in a direction essentially perpendicular to the exterior surface of said stiffener.
Selon un mode de réalisation, la surface des raidisseurs est pourvue d'un élément de protection en matière souple.According to one embodiment, the surface of the stiffeners is provided with a protective element made of flexible material.
Selon un mode de réalisation, chacun des membres coulissants supérieurs est connecté aux membres coulissants inférieurs correspondants à l'aide d'un élément longitudinal ou bride.According to one embodiment, each of the upper sliding members is connected to the corresponding lower sliding members using a longitudinal element or flange.

En pratique, il est tout à fait habituel qu'un utilisateur souhaite limiter l'impact du rayonnement solaire sur la température intérieure en limitant, par exemple, l'ouverture d'un volet roulant ou plein à battant. Mais cela n'empêche pas la pénétration du rayonnement, sauf si la fermeture est complète : dans ce cas, ceci limite la circulation de l'air et prévient du vis-à-vis. Il est donc tout à fait possible qu'un utilisateur souhaite préserver ces trois fonctions :
- limiter le rayonnement solaire (lumière et chaleur),
- permettre la circulation de l'air,
- empêcher le vis-à-vis,
- limit solar radiation (light and heat),
- allow air circulation,
- prevent vis-à-vis,
Comme montré au sein de la
Le dispositif d'ombrage 100 selon l'invention comprend une structure pourvue d'un élément de protection tel qu'une toile 110. La toile 110 peut être choisie en fonction de caractéristiques spécifiques techniques permettant de limiter la pénétration du rayonnement solaire et de ses effets à l'intérieur d'une pièce, éventuellement protéger d'une bruine et résister à l'humidité, sans pour autant occulter complètement ladite fenêtre. En d'autres termes, le dispositif d'ombrage 100 selon l'invention peut être utilisé, d'une part, dans le but de :
- limiter la luminosité et tamiser à l'intérieur d'une pièce,
- limiter la chaleur,
- protéger de l'humidité (bruine),
- empêcher le vis-à-vis tout en permettant une vue sur l'extérieur,
- limit the brightness and sift inside a room,
- limit heat,
- protect from humidity (drizzle),
- prevent vis-à-vis while allowing a view on the outside,
