Description

Domaine technique de l'inventionTechnical field of the invention

La présente invention se rapporte au domaine général des volets roulants contenus dans un coffre. Elle vise plus précisément les dispositifs de fixation d'un volet roulant sur la menuiserie associée du type fenêtre ou similaire. Encore plus précisément la présente invention concerne un dispositif de liaison d'un coffre de volet roulant au dormant d'une fenêtre, selon le préambule de la revendication 1.The present invention relates to the general field of rolling shutters contained in a trunk. It relates more specifically to devices for fixing a rolling shutter to the associated joinery of the window or similar type. Even more specifically, the present invention relates to a device for connecting a roller shutter box to the frame of a window, according to the preamble of claim 1.

Etat de la techniqueState of the art

En référence aux figures 1et 2, décrites plus loin dans la description, un volet roulant VR comporte, de manière classique, un coffre CO préfabriqué contenant un arbre d'enroulement, non représenté, reposant par ses extrémités sur des paliers solidaires des flasques d'extrémité FL dudit coffre CO et auquel est accroché un tablier, non représenté, formé de lames horizontales articulées entre elles et dont les extrémités se déplacent verticalement à l'intérieur de coulisses de guidage, non représentées, solidaires de la fenêtre FE associée au volet roulant VR ou de la maçonnerie entourant ladite fenêtre FE. Ainsi, pour remonter le volet roulant VR, on enroule le tablier autour de l'arbre et au contraire, pour descendre le volet roulant VR, on déroule le tablier.With reference to figure 1 and 2 , described later in the description, a roller shutter VR comprises, in a conventional manner, a prefabricated trunk CO containing a winding shaft, not shown, resting at its ends on bearings integral with the end flanges FL of said trunk CO and to which is hung an apron, not shown, formed of horizontal slats hinged together and whose ends move vertically inside guide rails, not shown, integral with the window FE associated with the roller shutter VR or the masonry surrounding said FE window. Thus, to raise the VR roller shutter, the apron is wrapped around the shaft and, on the contrary, to lower the VR roller shutter, the apron is unrolled.

Par ailleurs, pour solidariser le volet roulant VR sur le dessus de la fenêtre FE associée, on utilise habituellement :

  • un profilé adaptateur PA fixé sur la face supérieure FS de la fenêtre FE par tous moyens adaptés tels que, par exemple, des vis V, et sur lequel vient s'accrocher la plaque inférieure PI du coffre CO du volet roulant VR, et
  • deux lames de liaison LA solidarisant chacun un des flasques d'extrémité FE dudit coffre CO avec la face verticale FV associé de la fenêtre FE.
In addition, to secure the VR roller shutter on top of the associated FE window, we usually use:
  • an adapter profile PA fixed on the upper face FS of the window FE by any suitable means such as, for example, screws V, and on which the lower plate PI of the box CO of the roller shutter VR is attached, and
  • two connecting blades LA each securing one of the end flanges FE of said trunk CO with the associated vertical face FV of the window FE.

La solidarisation est obtenue en fixant, par tous moyens adaptés tels que, par exemple, des vis V', l'une des extrémités d'une lame de liaison LA sur un flasque d'extrémité FL et l'autre extrémité de ladite lame de liaison LA sur la face verticale FV associé de la fenêtre FE (Cf. figure 1). Ce mode de solidarisation est plutôt aisé, et ce d'autant plus que les lames de liaison LA sont avantageusement souples de manière à pouvoir être pliée si besoin par l'opérateur afin d'adapter parfaitement la forme desdites lames de liaison LA à celles des flasques d'extrémité FL dudit coffre CO et des faces verticales FV associés de la fenêtre FE. Toutefois, ce type de mode de solidarisation avec des lames de liaison LA présente l'inconvénient principal de positionner lesdites lames de liaison LA en surépaisseur par rapport auxdits flasques d'extrémité FL et faces verticales FV ce qui rend difficile la mise en place de l'ensemble volet roulant VR - fenêtre FE dans l'ouverture aménagée dans la maçonnerie, mais également la réalisation de l'étanchéité entre ledit ensemble volet roulant VR - fenêtre FE et l'ouverture. En outre, le temps d'assemblage dudit ensemble est loin d'être négligeable ce qui accroît le cout de revient de cet ensemble selon le préambule de la revendication 1.The connection is obtained by fixing, by any suitable means such as, for example, screws V', one of the ends of a connecting blade LA on an end flange FL and the other end of said blade of connection LA on the vertical face FV associated with the window FE (Cf. figure 1 ). This method of securing is rather easy, and all the more so since the connecting blades LA are advantageously flexible so that they can be bent if necessary by the operator in order to perfectly adapt the shape of said connecting blades LA to those of the end flanges FL of said box CO and the associated vertical faces FV of the window FE. However, this type of connection mode with connecting slats LA has the main drawback of positioning said connecting slats LA thicker than said end flanges FL and vertical faces FV, which makes it difficult to fit the roller shutter VR - window FE assembly in the opening made in the masonry, but also the realization of the seal between said roller shutter VR - window FE assembly and the opening. In addition, the assembly time of said assembly is far from negligible, which increases the cost price of this assembly according to the preamble of claim 1.

Conformément à l'invention, il est donc proposé un dispositif de liaison d'un coffre de volet roulant au dormant d'une fenêtre, selon la revendication 1.In accordance with the invention, there is therefore proposed a device for connecting a roller shutter box to the frame of a window, according to claim 1.

De manière avantageuse, le dispositif de liaison comporte un profilé adaptateur apte à être fixé sur la face supérieure du dormant de ladite fenêtre et sur lequel vient s'accrocher la plaque inférieure du coffre du volet roulant et chaque bride de liaison est apte avec des moyens de solidarisation à solidariser ledit coffre avec ledit profilé adaptateur.Advantageously, the connecting device comprises an adapter section suitable for being fixed on the upper face of the frame of said window and on which the lower plate of the roller shutter box is attached and each connecting flange is suitable with means securing to secure said box with said adapter profile.

Selon un premier mode de réalisation, chaque bride de liaison est apte à être entièrement disposée dans l'épaisseur du flasque d'extrémité associé par la technique du surmoulage.According to a first embodiment, each connecting flange is capable of being placed entirely within the thickness of the associated end flange by the technique of overmolding.

'end.

Selon un mode de réalisation préféré, chaque bride de liaison est une cornière en forme de L comprenant une première aile horizontale et une deuxième aile verticale, la deuxième aile étant apte à être en appui contre le fond vertical dudit logement et la première aile étant apte à être telle que sa face inférieure est au même niveau que la face inférieure dudit flasque d'extrémité.According to a preferred embodiment, each connecting flange is a shaped angle iron of L comprising a first horizontal wing and a second vertical wing, the second wing being capable of resting against the vertical bottom of said housing and the first wing being adapted to be such that its lower face is at the same level as the lower face of said end flange.

Chaque bride de liaison comporte au moins un premier orifice traversant entièrement sa première aile ou la jonction entre ses première et deuxième ailes, et apte à coopérer avec des moyens de solidarisation pour solidariser la bride de liaison sur la face supérieure du dormant de ladite fenêtre.Each connecting flange comprises at least one first orifice passing entirely through its first wing or the junction between its first and second wings, and capable of cooperating with securing means for securing the connecting flange to the upper face of the frame of said window.

De manière avantageuse, chaque bride de liaison comporte au moins un deuxième orifice traversant entièrement sa deuxième aile et apte à coopérer avec des moyens de solidarisation pour solidariser la bride de liaison sur le profilé adaptateur.Advantageously, each connecting flange comprises at least one second orifice passing entirely through its second wing and capable of cooperating with securing means for securing the connecting flange to the adapter section.

Le dispositif de liaison comporte de préférence un capuchon pour obturer le logement de chaque flasque d'extrémité recevant une bride de liaison, ledit capuchon étant configuré pour que la face latérale dudit flasque d'extrémité soit entièrement plane, même au droit dudit logement.The connecting device preferably comprises a cap to close off the housing of each end flange receiving a connecting flange, said cap being configured so that the side face of said end flange is completely flat, even in line with said housing.

Description des modes de réalisationDescription of embodiments

Sur les figures 3 à 5, on a représenté un volet roulant 1 comportant un coffre 2 préfabriqué contenant un arbre d'enroulement, non représenté, reposant à ses extrémités sur des paliers solidaires de flasques d'extrémité 3 dudit coffre 2 et auquel est accroché un tablier, non représenté, formé de lames horizontales articulées entre elles et dont les extrémités se déplacent verticalement à l'intérieur de coulisses de guidage, non représentées.On the figures 3 to 5 , there is shown a roller shutter 1 comprising a prefabricated box 2 containing a winding shaft, not shown, resting at its ends on bearings integral with end flanges 3 of said box 2 and to which is hung an apron, not shown, formed of horizontal blades hinged together and whose ends move vertically inside guide slides, not shown.

On a décrit ici un coffre 2 du volet roulant 1 disposé au-dessus d'une fenêtre verticale. Toutefois, la fenêtre pourra, sans sortir du cadre de la présente invention, être, par exemple, plus ou moins inclinée, les termes tels que supérieur, inférieur, horizontal ou encore vertical seront alors à adapter.We have described here a box 2 of the roller shutter 1 arranged above a vertical window. However, the window may, without departing from the scope of the present invention, be, for example, more or less inclined, the terms such as upper, lower, horizontal or even vertical will then have to be adapted.

Ledit coffre 2 du volet roulant 1 est solidarisé sur le dessus d'une fenêtre, non représentée, avec un dispositif de liaison 4, conforme à l'invention, comportant au moins :

  • un profilé adaptateur 5 fixé sur la face supérieure du dormant de ladite fenêtre, par tous moyens de fixation adaptés tels que, par exemple, des vis et/ou de l'adhésif double face, et sur lequel vient s'accrocher la plaque inférieure 6 du coffre 2 du volet roulant 1 (Cf. figure 4), et
  • deux brides de liaison 7 étant chacune entièrement disposée dans l'épaisseur d'un des flasques d'extrémité 3 dudit coffre 2 et apte à solidariser ledit coffre 2 avec au moins la face supérieure du dormant de ladite fenêtre, ledit logement 31 débouchant sur la face latérale 32 et sur la face inférieure 33 dudit flasque d'extrémité 3.
Said box 2 of roller shutter 1 is secured to the top of a window, not shown, with a connecting device 4, in accordance with the invention, comprising at least:
  • an adapter profile 5 fixed to the upper face of the frame of said window, by any suitable fixing means such as, for example, screws and/or double-sided adhesive tape, and on which the lower plate 6 is hooked of the box 2 of the roller shutter 1 (Cf. figure 4 ), and
  • two connecting flanges 7 each being entirely arranged in the thickness of one of the end flanges 3 of said casing 2 and able to secure said casing 2 with at least the upper face of the frame of said window, said housing 31 opening onto the lateral face 32 and on the lower face 33 of said end flange 3.

On désigne ici par "entièrement disposée dans l'épaisseur d'un flasque d'extrémité 3", le fait que chaque bride de liaison 7 ne s'étend pas au-delà des faces extérieures dudit flasque d'extrémité 3. Pour ce faire, chaque bride de liaison 7 peut être disposée dans l'épaisseur du flasque d'extrémité 3 associé par la technique du surmoulage, ledit flasque d'extrémité 3 étant surmoulé sur ladite bride de liaison 7. Chaque bride de liaison 7 peut également être disposée et fixée dans un logement aménagé dans le bas d'un des flasques d'extrémité 3 du côté extérieur ou intérieur dudit coffre 2.What is meant here by “entirely arranged in the thickness of an end flange 3” is the fact that each connecting flange 7 does not extend beyond the outer faces of said end flange 3. To do this , each connecting flange 7 can be arranged in the thickness of the associated end flange 3 by the overmolding technique, said end flange 3 being overmolded on said connecting flange 7. Each connecting flange 7 can also be arranged and fixed in a housing arranged in the bottom of one of the end flanges 3 on the exterior or interior side of said box 2.

On comprend donc bien que chaque bride de liaison 7 est une pièce rapportée fixée sur chaque flasque d'extrémité 3 grâce aux techniques et aménagements rappelés ci-dessus. Par ailleurs, pour des raisons de résistance mécanique, chaque bride de liaison 7 est avantageusement métallique, elle n'est donc pas de la même matière que le flasque d'extrémité 3 associé qui est, de manière classique, en plastique tel que, par exemple, du polychlorure de vinyle.It is therefore clear that each connecting flange 7 is an attached piece fixed to each end flange 3 thanks to the techniques and arrangements mentioned above. Furthermore, for reasons of mechanical strength, each connecting flange 7 is advantageously metallic, it is therefore not of the same material as the associated end flange 3 which is, conventionally, made of plastic such as, for example, polyvinyl chloride.

Ainsi, selon le mode de réalisation avantageux représenté aux figures 3 à 5, chaque bride de liaison 7 est entièrement disposée dans l'épaisseur et fixée dans un logement 31 aménagé dans le bas d'un des flasques d'extrémité 3 du côté extérieur dudit coffre 2 ledit logement 31 débouchant au moins sur la face latérale 32 dudit flasque d'extrémité 3 et avantageusement également sur la face inférieure 33 de ce dernier.Thus, according to the advantageous embodiment shown in figures 3 to 5 , each connecting flange 7 is entirely arranged in the thickness and fixed in a housing 31 arranged in the bottom of one of the end flanges 3 on the outside of said box 2, said housing 31 opening out at least on the side face 32 of said end flange 3 and advantageously also on the underside 33 of the latter.

On comprend bien que, pour des raisons de résistance mécanique, chaque bride de liaison 7 est avantageusement métallique.It is well understood that, for reasons of mechanical strength, each connecting flange 7 is advantageously metallic.

Chaque bride de liaison 7 est avantageusement une cornière en forme de L comprenant une première aile 71 horizontale et une deuxième aile 72 verticale, la deuxième aile 72 étant en appui contre le fond vertical dudit logement 31 et la première aile 71 étant telle que sa face inférieure, qui correspond à la face inférieure de ladite bride de liaison 7, est avantageusement au même niveau que la face inférieure 33 dudit flasque d'extrémité 3, de sorte que, lorsque le coffre 2 est accroché sur le profilé adaptateur 5, ladite face inférieure de la première aile 71 est alors en appui contre la face supérieure du dormant de la fenêtre.Each connecting flange 7 is advantageously an L-shaped angle iron comprising a first horizontal wing 71 and a second vertical wing 72, the second wing 72 resting against the vertical bottom of the said housing 31 and the first wing 71 being such that its face bottom, which corresponds to the bottom face of said connecting flange 7, is advantageously at the same level as the bottom face 33 of said end flange 3, so that, when the box 2 is hooked onto the adapter section 5, said face lower part of the first wing 71 then presses against the upper face of the window frame.

Par ailleurs, puisque chaque bride de liaison 7 est entièrement disposée dans l'épaisseur du flasque d'extrémité 3 associé, on comprend bien que chaque bride de liaison 7, notamment sa première aile 71, ne s'étend pas au-delà de la face latérale 32 dudit flasque d'extrémité 3 (Cf. figure 3).Furthermore, since each connecting flange 7 is entirely arranged in the thickness of the associated end flange 3, it is clear that each connecting flange 7, in particular its first wing 71, does not extend beyond the side face 32 of said end flange 3 (Cf. picture 3 ).

Cette configuration permet en outre de mettre en place un capuchon 8 pour obturer le logement 31 de chaque flasque d'extrémité 3 recevant une bride de liaison 7, ledit capuchon 8 étant configuré pour que la face latérale 32 dudit flasque d'extrémité 3 soit entièrement plane, c'est-à-dire sans zone en saillie, même au droit dudit logement 31, afin de faciliter la réalisation de l'étanchéité de l'ensemble volet roulant 1 - fenêtre par rapport à la maçonnerie (Cf. figure 5).This configuration also makes it possible to fit a cap 8 to close the housing 31 of each end flange 3 receiving a connecting flange 7, said cap 8 being configured so that the side face 32 of said end flange 3 is entirely plane, that is to say without a projecting zone, even in line with said housing 31, in order to facilitate the sealing of the roller shutter 1 - window assembly with respect to the masonry (Cf. figure 5 ).

Selon un mode réalisation préféré, chaque bride de liaison 7 est fixée, en usine, c'est-à-dire à la fin de la fabrication du volet roulant 1, dans ledit logement 31 sur le flasque d'extrémité 3 associé par tous moyens de fixation adaptés tels que, par exemple, des vis ou des rivets.According to a preferred embodiment, each connecting flange 7 is fixed, in the factory, that is to say at the end of the manufacture of the roller shutter 1, in said housing 31 on the end flange 3 associated by any means suitable fasteners such as, for example, screws or rivets.

Par ailleurs, chaque bride de liaison 7 comporte avantageusement au moins un premier orifice 73 traversant entièrement sa première aile 71 ou la jonction entre ses première et deuxième ailes 71,72, et un deuxième orifice 74 traversant entièrement sa deuxième aile 72. Les premier(s) et deuxième (s) orifices 73,74 sont aptes à coopérer avec des moyens de solidarisation pour solidariser la bride de liaison 7 associée, et donc le coffre 2 du volet roulant 1 respectivement sur la face supérieure du dormant de ladite fenêtre et sur le profilé adaptateur 5.Furthermore, each connecting flange 7 advantageously comprises at least one first orifice 73 passing entirely through its first wing 71 or the junction between its first and second wing 71, 72, and a second orifice 74 passing entirely through its second wing 72. The first ( s) and second (s) orifices 73,74 are able to cooperate with securing means to secure the associated connecting flange 7, and therefore the trunk 2 of the roller shutter 1 respectively on the upper face of the frame of said window and on the adapter profile 5.

L'homme du métier n'aura aucune difficulté à choisir les moyens de solidarisation tels que, par exemple, des vis, des rivets, des agrafes ou encore de la colle, les plus adaptés pour solidariser la bride de liaison 7.A person skilled in the art will have no difficulty in choosing the fastening means such as, for example, screws, rivets, staples or even glue, the most suitable for fastening the connecting flange 7.

Selon un mode de réalisation préféré, pour des raisons de résistance mécanique et d'encombrement, chaque bride de liaison 7 comporte un premier orifice 73 traversant entièrement la jonction entre ses première et deuxième ailes 71,72, et deux deuxièmes orifices 74.According to a preferred embodiment, for reasons of mechanical strength and size, each connecting flange 7 comprises a first orifice 73 crossing entirely the junction between its first and second wings 71,72, and two second orifices 74.

Par ailleurs, sans sortir du cadre de la présente invention, le dispositif de liaison 4 pourra ne pas comporter de profilé adaptateur 5, la plaque inférieure 3 du coffre 2 du volet roulant 1 faisant alors office de profilé adaptateur 5. Dans ce cas, les brides de liaison 7 ne comporteront donc aucun deuxième orifice 74.Furthermore, without departing from the scope of the present invention, the connecting device 4 may not include an adapter profile 5, the lower plate 3 of the box 2 of the roller shutter 1 then acting as an adapter profile 5. In this case, the connecting flanges 7 will therefore have no second orifice 74.

En outre, les brides de liaison 7 pourront ne pas être des cornières sans sortir du cadre de la présente invention. Ainsi, ces brides de liaison 7 pourront par exemple des plats munis d'évidements et ou lamages pour notamment mettre en place les vis de fixation et noyer leur tête.In addition, the connecting flanges 7 may not be angles without departing from the scope of the present invention. Thus, these connecting flanges 7 may, for example, have flats provided with recesses and or counterbores in particular to put the fixing screws in place and to embed their heads.

Enfin, on comprend bien que le dispositif de liaison 4 selon l'invention permet, d'une part, un gain de temps au niveau du montage de de l'ensemble volet roulant 1 - fenêtre, car les brides de liaison 7 sont fixées en usine sur le coffre 2 du volet roulant 1 et, d'autre part, de réaliser une étanchéité parfaite de l'ensemble volet roulant 1 - fenêtre par rapport à la maçonnerie, car il n'y a pas d'élément en surépaisseur.Finally, it is well understood that the connecting device 4 according to the invention allows, on the one hand, a saving of time in the assembly of the roller shutter 1 - window assembly, because the connecting flanges 7 are fixed in factory on the box 2 of the roller shutter 1 and, on the other hand, to achieve perfect sealing of the roller shutter 1 - window assembly with respect to the masonry, because there is no extra thickness element.

Le dispositif de liaison 4 selon l'invention trouve une application particulière dans l'assemblage d'un volet roulant 1 sur une fenêtre.The connecting device 4 according to the invention finds particular application in the assembly of a roller shutter 1 on a window.

Enfin, il va de soi que les exemples de dispositifs de liaison 4 conformes à l'invention qui viennent d'être décrits ne sont que des illustrations particulières, en aucun cas limitatives de l'invention.Finally, it goes without saying that the examples of connecting devices 4 in accordance with the invention which have just been described are only specific illustrations, in no way limiting the invention.
