Description

La présente invention propose un dispositif de couverture à panneaux mobiles, notamment pour une pergola.The present invention provides a covering device with movable panels, in particular for a pergola.

Dans le domaine de l'aménagement extérieur et du confort solaire, de nombreuses solutions existent pour permettre un ombrage modulaire. La solution la plus simple et la plus répandue est le store enroulable et déroulable qui est généralement fixé au mur et qui se déploie sur une longueur donnée, réglable, avec une largeur fixe, non modulaire.In the field of landscaping and solar comfort, many solutions exist to allow modular shading. The simplest and most widespread solution is the roller blind which is generally fixed to the wall and which deploys over a given length, adjustable, with a fixed width, not modular.

Pour abriter une terrasse, par exemple, le store enroulable a une capacité de développement limitée, une esthétique limitée et reste une structure souple dont la résistance au vent est limitée. En effet, le store est un élément en porte à faux, muni de bras structuraux dont la capacité de résistance au vent est limitée.To shelter a terrace, for example, the roller blind has a limited development capacity, a limited aesthetic and remains a flexible structure with limited wind resistance. Indeed, the awning is a cantilevered element, provided with structural arms whose wind resistance capacity is limited.

Il donc nécessaire pour les stores manuels de surveiller la vitesse du vent et de replier si nécessaire le store. Dans le cas d'un store motorisé électriquement, un capteur de vent peut être mis en place pour déclencher le moteur et replier le store si la puissance du vent est trop élevée.It is therefore necessary for manual awnings to monitor the wind speed and to retract the awning if necessary. In the case of an electrically motorized awning, a wind sensor can be installed to trigger the motor and fold the awning if the wind power is too high.

De plus, les stores ne sont pas destinés à protéger une terrasse de la pluie et limitent ainsi l'usage de la terrasse lorsqu'il pleut.In addition, the blinds are not intended to protect a terrace from the rain and thus limit the use of the terrace when it rains.

On connaît les pergolas qui sont des structures rigides offrant une grande résistance au vent et installées de manière fixe au-dessus de la zone à ombrager. Or, si l'intérêt structurel d'une pergola est indéniable, le fait qu'elle constitue une structure rigide permanente peut ne pas convenir. En effet, il existe même des pergolas tout à fait intéressantes avec des lames orientables pouvant laisser passer la majeure partie de la lumière, mais pouvant aussi se rejoindre pour former une surface étanche lorsqu'il pleut.We know pergolas which are rigid structures offering great resistance to the wind and installed in a fixed manner above the area to be shaded. However, if the structural interest of a pergola is undeniable, the fact that it constitutes a permanent rigid structure may not be suitable. Indeed, there are even very interesting pergolas with adjustable slats that can let most of the light through, but can also join together to form a waterproof surface when it rains.

Une telle pergola, à lames orientables, est décrite dans le brevet français FR 2 676 079 , au nom du même demandeur.Such a pergola, with adjustable slats, is described in the French patent FR 2,676,079 , on behalf of the same applicant.

La présence permanente de lames, même orientables, génère un ombrage permanent au-dessus de la zone située sous la pergola, mais cet ombrage permanent peut ne pas convenir à certaines applications, certaines dispositions géométriques de terrasses, certaines orientations solaires ou certains choix des utilisateurs. De plus, il faut manœuvrer les panneaux en fonction des mouvements du soleil au fur et à mesure des déplacements dudit soleil au cours de la journée.The permanent presence of slats, even adjustable, generates permanent shading above the area under the pergola, but this permanent shading may not be suitable for certain applications, certain geometric arrangements of terraces, certain solar orientations or certain user choices. In addition, it is necessary to maneuver the panels according to the movements of the sun as the sun moves during the day.

Certaines utilisateurs souhaitent disposer d'une pergola étanche mais découvrable sur sa plus grande surface pour les jours peu ensoleillés par exemple, ou en hiver afin de laisser passer le maximum de soleil.Some users want to have a waterproof pergola that can be discovered on its larger surface for days with little sun for example, or in winter in order to let the maximum amount of sun through.

Une solution connue propose des modules surfaciques, montés coulissants dans des rails suivant deux directions croisées X,Y, cette solution est décrite ainsi que son agencement, dans le brevet européen EP 2 817 463 , au nom du même demandeur.A known solution proposes surface modules, mounted to slide in rails in two crossed directions X, Y, this solution is described as well as its arrangement, in the European patent. EP 2 817 463 , on behalf of the same applicant.

Cet agencement répond au problème posé avec une grande modularité car les modules surfaciques peuvent être superposés, par manœuvre individuelle desdits modules surfaciques. Néanmoins, il peut être utile dans certains cas de disposer d'une pergola dans laquelle le déplacement d'un module assure le déplacement des autres, au détriment de la totale modularité mais au profit d'une fabrication plus industrialisable et d'une manipulation plus simple pour l'utilisateur, en maintenant la possibilité d'un découvrement important.This arrangement responds to the problem posed with great modularity because the surface modules can be superimposed, by individual operation of said surface modules. Nevertheless, it can be useful in certain cases to have a pergola in which the displacement of one module ensures the displacement of the others, to the detriment of total modularity but to the benefit of a more industrializable manufacture and more handling. simple for the user, while maintaining the possibility of significant discovery.

Cet aspect n'est que partiellement abordé dans les dispositifs des documents JP S55 155852 et JP S57 68002U .This aspect is only partially addressed in the provisions of the documents. JP S55 155852 and JP S57 68002U .

Un autre dispositif de couverture est connu de ES 2 083 322 .Another covering device is known from ES 2,083,322 .

Il serait intéressant de pouvoir disposer des avantages d'un store souple, notamment des avantages liés à sa facilité de repli et de déploiement tout en conservant la rigidité et la résistance au vent et à la pluie, de pouvoir assurer une étanchéité.It would be interesting to be able to have the advantages of a flexible awning, in particular the advantages linked to its ease of folding and deployment while retaining rigidity and resistance to wind and rain, to be able to provide sealing.

La présente invention propose un store rigide escamotable par superposition et coulissant sur une structure rigide, qui permet la manœuvrabilité aisée et simultanée de plusieurs modules. La présente invention est maintenant décrite suivant un mode de réalisation principal, sans que celui-ci soit limitatif, ceci en regard des dessins associés sur lesquels les différentes figures représentent:

  • Figure 1: une vue de face du dispositif de couverture à panneaux mobiles,
  • Figure 2: une vue en perspective des panneaux mobiles du dispositif de couverture,
  • Figures 3A à 3C: une vue en élévation latérale schématique d'un synoptique de déploiement du dispositif de couverture.
The present invention provides a rigid blind retractable by superposition and sliding on a rigid structure, which allows easy and simultaneous maneuverability of several modules. The present invention is now described according to a main embodiment, without the latter being limiting, with reference to the associated drawings in which the various figures represent:
  • Figure 1 : a front view of the roofing device with movable panels,
  • Figure 2 : a perspective view of the movable panels of the roofing device,
  • Figures 3A to 3C : a schematic side elevational view of a deployment synoptic of the cover device.

On considère pour l'ensemble des figures 1, 2 et 3, le repère orthonormé X, Y, Z. La figure 1 représente un dispositif de couverture à panneaux mobiles, comprenant des moyens de maintien 10 de ladite couverture, des moyens de couverture 12, et des moyens de positionnement 14 desdits moyens de couverture.We consider for the set of figures 1, 2 and 3 , the orthonormal coordinate system X, Y, Z. The figure 1 shows a cover device with movable panels, comprising means 10 for holding said cover, cover means 12, and positioning means 14 for said cover means.

Les moyens de maintien 10 de la couverture sont formés par des poteaux verticaux 16 et un cadre horizontal 18. Le cadre horizontal 18, plus précisément les deux éléments 18X du cadre 18 étendus suivant l'axe X, supportent un chéneau 19 et des galets 20. Les galets 20 visibles sur la figure 1, sont montés mobiles en rotation par rapport auxdits éléments 18X. Plus précisément, les deux éléments 18X du cadre 18 supportent trois lignes de galets 20 superposées, suivant l'axe Z.The means 10 for maintaining the cover are formed by vertical posts 16 and a horizontal frame 18. The horizontal frame 18, more precisely the two elements 18X of the frame 18 extended along the X axis, support a gutter 19 and rollers 20 . The rollers 20 visible on the figure 1 , are mounted so as to be able to rotate relative to said elements 18X. More precisely, the two elements 18X of the frame 18 support three lines of rollers 20 superimposed, along the Z axis.

Les moyens de couverture 12 sont réalisés par au moins trois panneaux 22, en l'occurrence quatre panneaux 22 dans le mode de réalisation représenté.The covering means 12 are produced by at least three panels 22, in this case four panels 22 in the embodiment shown.

Ces panneaux 22 sont superposés en hauteur.These panels 22 are superimposed in height.

Chacun des panneaux 22 est plié et réalisé en métal thermolaqué par exemple. II pourrait être réalisé en forme et moulé, en matériaux composites, par exemple, bien que cette option ne fasse pas partie de l'invention revendiquée.Each of the panels 22 is folded and made of powder coated metal for example. It could be shaped and molded, of composite materials, for example, although this option is not part of the claimed invention.

Chaque panneau 22 plié comprend trois surfaces, une surface horizontale 24, des surfaces verticales 26 orientées vers le bas 26i et/ou des surfaces verticales orientées vers le haut 26s. Les surfaces verticales orientées vers le bas 26i et/ou vers le haut 26s sont considérées dans le plan Y, Z. L'axe de pliage étant orienté suivant l'axe Y.Each folded panel 22 comprises three surfaces, a horizontal surface 24, vertical surfaces 26 facing downwards 26i and / or vertical surfaces facing upwards 26s. The vertical surfaces oriented downwards 26i and / or upwards 26s are considered in the Y, Z plane. The bending axis being oriented along the Y axis.

Dans le cas d'une réalisation à au moins trois panneaux, trois types de panneaux pliés 22 sont utilisés :

  • Un panneau d'extrémité supérieure 28, mobile,
  • Un panneau d'extrémité inférieure 30, fixe,
  • Au moins un panneau intermédiaire 32, mobile.
In the case of an embodiment with at least three panels, three types of folded panels 22 are used:
  • An upper end panel 28, movable,
  • A lower end panel 30, fixed,
  • At least one intermediate panel 32, movable.

Le panneau d'extrémité supérieure 28 comprend une surface horizontale 24 et deux surfaces verticales orientées vers le bas 26i.The upper end panel 28 includes a horizontal surface 24 and two downwardly facing vertical surfaces 26i.

Le panneau plié 22, muni d'une surface horizontale 24 et de deux surfaces verticales 26 orientées vers le haut 26s, forme le panneau d'extrémité inférieure 30.The folded panel 22, provided with a horizontal surface 24 and two vertical surfaces 26 facing upwards 26s, forms the lower end panel 30.

Chaque panneau intermédiaire 32 est réalisé par une surface horizontale 24, une surface verticale orientée vers le bas 26i et par une surface verticale orientée vers le haut 26s. La surface verticale orientée vers le haut 26s est située du côté amont, c'est-à-dire du côté du panneau d'extrémité supérieure 28.Each intermediate panel 32 is formed by a horizontal surface 24, a vertical surface oriented downwards 26i and by a vertical surface oriented upwards 26s. The upward facing vertical surface 26s is located on the upstream side, i.e. the side of the top end panel 28.

L'agencement des panneaux pliés 22 est tel que, suivant l'axe X, le panneau d'extrémité supérieure 28, les deux panneaux intermédiaires 32-1 et 32-2 et le panneau d'extrémité inférieure 30 sont disposés de la façon suivante :

  • Panneau d'extrémité supérieure 28 au-dessus,
  • Premier panneau intermédiaire 32-1 sous le panneau d'extrémité supérieure 28,
  • Second panneau intermédiaire 32-2 sous le premier panneau intermédiaire 32-1, et
  • Panneau d'extrémité inférieure 30 sous le second panneau intermédiaire 32-2.
The arrangement of the folded panels 22 is such that, along the X axis, the upper end panel 28, the two intermediate panels 32-1 and 32-2 and the lower end panel 30 are arranged as follows :
  • Upper end panel 28 above,
  • First intermediate panel 32-1 under the upper end panel 28,
  • Second intermediate panel 32-2 under the first intermediate panel 32-1, and
  • Lower end panel 30 under the second intermediate panel 32-2.

Les différents panneaux pliés 22 sont ainsi agencés de manière descendante suivant l'axe X en forme d'escalier lorsque les panneaux 22 sont dépliés, comme montré sur la figure 3B.The various folded panels 22 are thus arranged in a descending manner along the X axis in the form of a staircase when the panels 22 are unfolded, as shown in FIG. figure 3B .

Les moyens de positionnement 14 sont réalisés par une glissière 34 rapportée suivant l'axe X, à chaque extrémité respective, considérée suivant l'axe Y, du au moins un panneau intermédiaire 32 et du panneau d'extrémité inférieure 30. En effet, le panneau d'extrémité inférieure 30 est fixe et solidaire des éléments 18X, par l'intermédiaire des chéneaux 19. Lesdites glissières 34 forment un rail creux, à profil en U renversé, apte à prendre appui sur les galets 20.The positioning means 14 are produced by a slide 34 attached along the X axis, at each respective end, considered along the Y axis, of at least one intermediate panel 32 and of the lower end panel 30. Indeed, the lower end panel 30 is fixed and integral with the elements 18X, by means of the gutters 19. Said slides 34 form a hollow rail, with an inverted U- profile, capable of resting on the rollers 20.

Les glissières 34 permettent des déplacements en translation des panneaux de couverture uniquement suivant la direction X.The slides 34 allow translational movements of the cover panels only in the X direction.

Afin de faciliter la visualisation de l'emboîtement des panneaux pliées 22, la figure 2 représente uniquement les panneaux pliés 22 du dispositif à panneaux mobiles. La figure 2 correspond à la vue en perspective de la figure 3B du synoptique.In order to facilitate the visualization of the interlocking of the folded panels 22, the figure 2 shows only the folded panels 22 of the movable panel device. The figure 2 corresponds to the perspective view of the figure 3B of the synoptic.

Les figures 3A, 3B, 3C représentent un synoptique de déploiement du dispositif de couverture à panneaux mobiles. Afin de faciliter la compréhension du synoptique, les figures 3A, 3B, 3C ne représentent que les panneaux pliés 22 du dispositif de couverture.The figures 3A, 3B, 3C represent a block diagram of the mobile panel roofing device. In order to facilitate the understanding of the synoptic, the figures 3A, 3B, 3C only show the folded panels 22 of the cover device.

La vue en élévation du synoptique de la figure 3 représente le déploiement du panneau d'extrémité supérieure 28, des panneaux intermédiaires 32-1 et 32-2 et du panneau d'extrémité inférieure 30.The elevation view of the synoptic of the figure 3 shows the deployment of the upper end panel 28, the intermediate panels 32-1 and 32-2 and the lower end panel 30.

La figure 3A représente le dispositif de couverture replié, la figure 3B représente le dispositif de couverture partiellement déployé et la figure 3C représente le dispositif de couverture complètement déployé.The figure 3A represents the folded cover device, the figure 3B represents the partially deployed roofing device and the figure 3C represents the fully deployed roofing device.

La présente invention est maintenant décrite encore plus en détail.The present invention is now described in even more detail.

Les moyens de maintien 10 formés par les poteaux verticaux 16 et le cadre horizontal 18 permettent le maintien des moyens de positionnement 14 et des panneaux pliées 22. En effet, les deux éléments 18X supportent les galets 20 dont l'axe de rotation est horizontal et orientés suivant l'axe Y. Comme visible sur la vue de face de la figure 1, les galets 20 fixés aux éléments 18X, supportent les panneaux pliés 22 par l'intermédiaire des glissières 34. Les glissières 34, en U renversé, donc avec le creux développé vers le bas et dont l'axe longitudinal est suivant l'axe X, s'appuient sur les galets 20 et permettent à la fois un maintien des panneaux pliés 22 et à la fois la possibilité de déplacer les panneaux pliés 22 suivant l'axe X, en les faisant rouler sur les galets 20.The holding means 10 formed by the vertical posts 16 and the horizontal frame 18 allow the positioning means 14 and the folded panels to be held in place 22. Indeed, the two elements 18X support the rollers 20 whose axis of rotation is horizontal and oriented along the Y axis. As visible on the front view of the figure 1 , the rollers 20 fixed to the elements 18X, support the folded panels 22 by means of the slides 34. The slides 34, in an inverted U , therefore with the hollow developed downwards and the longitudinal axis of which is following the X axis, rest on the rollers 20 and allow both a maintenance of the folded panels 22 and at the same time the possibility of moving the folded panels 22 along the X axis, by making them roll on the rollers 20.

Ainsi les panneaux pliés 22, par l'intermédiaire de leurs glissières 34 respectives, roulent sur les galets 20, suivant l'axe X.Thus the folded panels 22, by means of their respective slides 34, roll on the rollers 20, along the X axis.

Chacun des panneaux pliés 22, en l'occurrence le panneau d'extrémité supérieure 28, les panneaux intermédiaires 32-1 et 32-2 et le panneau d'extrémité inférieure 30 peuvent ainsi être positionnés à la demande de l'utilisateur. De par la géométrie des panneaux pliées 22, qui comportent chacun des rebords verticaux 26, le déplacement d'un panneau plié 22 entraîne l'autre panneau plié 22. En effet, les rebords verticaux 26i et 26s se superposent dans le plan Z,Y tel que le rebord vertical 26i d'un panneau plié 22 placé au-dessus et le rebord vertical 26s du panneau plié 22 placé au-dessous sont positionnés à la même hauteur, considérée suivant l'axe Z. On considère néanmoins un jeu à l'extrémité verticale des panneaux verticaux 26i et 26s et suivant l'axe Z pour faciliter le positionnement des panneaux pliés 22. Ce jeu mesure ici quelques millimètres.Each of the folded panels 22, in this case the upper end panel 28, the intermediate panels 32-1 and 32-2 and the lower end panel 30 can thus be positioned at the request of the user. Due to the geometry of the folded panels 22, which each have vertical edges 26, the movement of a folded panel 22 drives the other folded panel 22. In fact, the vertical edges 26i and 26s are superimposed in the Z, Y plane. such that the vertical edge 26i of a folded panel 22 placed above and the vertical edge 26s of the folded panel 22 placed below are positioned at the same height, considered along the Z axis. 'vertical end of the vertical panels 26i and 26s and along the Z axis to facilitate the positioning of the folded panels 22. This game here measures a few millimeters.

Si dans le cas représenté ici, le panneau d'extrémité supérieure 28 est mobile et le panneau d'extrémité inférieur 30 est fixe, il serait possible de rendre le panneau d'extrémité supérieure 28 fixe et le panneau d'extrémité inférieur 30 mobile.If in the case shown here, the upper end panel 28 is movable and the lower end panel 30 is fixed, it would be possible to make the upper end panel 28 fixed and the lower end panel 30 movable.

Ainsi, lorsque les panneaux pliés 22 sont déplacés suivant l'axe X et suivant une distance supérieure à la largeur d'un panneau horizontal 24, lesdits panneaux pliés 22 entraînent le panneau plié positionné au-dessus ou au-dessous, par l'intermédiaire des rebords verticaux 26 respectifs.Thus, when the folded panels 22 are moved along the X axis and over a distance greater than the width of a horizontal panel 24, said folded panels 22 drive the folded panel positioned above or below, via respective vertical flanges 26.

Il y a ainsi un très grand nombre de positionnements des différentes panneaux pliées 22, en plus des positions extrêmes totalement ouvertes ou totalement repliées.There is thus a very large number of positions of the various folded panels 22, in addition to the extreme positions which are completely open or completely folded.

Ces différents positionnements permettent d'ajuster au mieux les panneaux pliés 22 en fonction de l'effet d'ombrage recherché qui peut ainsi être partiel ou total.These different positions make it possible to best adjust the folded panels 22 as a function of the desired shading effect, which can thus be partial or total.

La figure 3 représente trois positions différentes. Plus les panneaux pliés 22 sont superposés, plus la surface d'ombrage ou de couverture est réduite. La surface d'ombrage ou de couverture est maximale lorsque tous les rebords verticaux 26 sont en contact.The figure 3 represents three different positions. The more the folded panels 22 are superimposed, the more the shading or covering surface is reduced. The shading or coverage area is maximum when all the vertical edges 26 are in contact.

En cas de pluie, le positionnement en ouverture totale des panneaux pliés 22 assure un écoulement de l'eau du panneau d'extrémité supérieure 28 vers le panneau d'extrémité inférieure 30. En effet, le rebord vertical orienté vers le bas 26i d'un panneau 22 est placé du côté du panneau plié 22 positionné en dessous et facilite ainsi l'écoulement de l'eau.In the event of rain, the fully open positioning of the folded panels 22 ensures water flow from the upper end panel 28 to the end panel. lower 30. In fact, the downwardly oriented vertical rim 26i of a panel 22 is placed on the side of the folded panel 22 positioned below and thus facilitates the flow of water.

Pour l'évacuation de l'eau latéralement, donc suivant l'axe Y, les chéneaux 19, développés suivant l'axe X et placés latéralement sous les bords latéraux des panneaux pliés 22 assurant ainsi l'évacuation des eaux latéralement.For the drainage of water laterally, therefore along the Y axis, the gutters 19, developed along the X axis and placed laterally under the lateral edges of the folded panels 22 thus ensuring the drainage of water laterally.

De par la géométrie des panneaux pliés 22, le déplacement de l'un des panneaux pliés 22 sur une distance supérieure à l'espace entre deux rebords verticaux 26 entraîne le panneau au-dessus ou au-dessous.Due to the geometry of the folded panels 22, the movement of one of the folded panels 22 over a distance greater than the space between two vertical edges 26 drives the panel above or below.

En effet, les rebords verticaux 26i et 26s sont tels que tout déplacement suivant l'axe X d'un panneau plié 22 sur une distance supérieure à l'espace entre deux rebords verticaux 26 d'un panneau plié 22 entraîne le panneau plié 22 placé au-dessus ou au-dessous et assure ainsi une continuité physique des panneaux pliées 22 dans le plan X, Y. Chaque panneau 22 a donc la possibilité d'entraîner le panneau plié 22 du dessus et le panneau plié 22 du dessous par l'intermédiaire des panneaux verticaux 26 respectifs. Aucune discontinuité des panneaux pliés 22 dans le plan X, Y, n'est possible, ceci quelle que soit la position desdits panneaux pliés 22. La longueur minimale de couverture est égale à la dimension suivant X d'un panneau et la longueur maximale de couverture est égale à la somme des panneaux pliés 22, à l'épaisseur des rebords verticaux 26 près.Indeed, the vertical edges 26i and 26s are such that any movement along the X axis of a folded panel 22 over a distance greater than the space between two vertical edges 26 of a folded panel 22 causes the folded panel 22 to be placed. above or below and thus ensures physical continuity of the folded panels 22 in the X, Y plane. Each panel 22 therefore has the possibility of driving the folded panel 22 from above and the folded panel 22 from below via the intermediary of the respective vertical panels 26. No discontinuity of the folded panels 22 in the X, Y plane is possible, regardless of the position of said folded panels 22. The minimum length of cover is equal to the dimension along X of a panel and the maximum length of coverage is equal to the sum of the folded panels 22, up to the thickness of the vertical edges 26.

Si le dispositif est ici décrit avec quatre panneaux pliés, il est bien sûr possible de multiplier le nombre de panneaux intermédiaires pour augmenter la surface de couverture.If the device is described here with four folded panels, it is of course possible to multiply the number of intermediate panels to increase the coverage area.
