Description

DOMAINE TECHNIQUETECHNICAL AREA

La présente invention concerne un bras pour stores amélioré, et notamment un bras dont la longueur peut être facilement réglée, et dont le montage est très simple. En outre, elle présente des avantages structurels et esthétiques.The present invention relates to an arm for improved awnings, and in particular an arm whose length can be easily adjusted, and whose assembly is very simple. In addition, it has structural and aesthetic advantages.

ANTÉCÉDENTSBACKGROUND

On connaît déjà plusieurs types de bras qui permettent la fixation d'un store au mur d'une fenêtre, d'une terrasse etc. Ceux-ci comprennent généralement une articulation et un profilé creux emboîtés entre eux, de sorte qu'une fois assemblés, ils ne peuvent pas être démontés. Certains procédés d'emboîtement connus incluent l'utilisation de colles entre deux composants ou clips unidirectionnels, c'est-à-dire, des éléments ou fourches élastiques qui s'emboîtent dans une encoche. Habituellement, ces bras doivent être montés par un professionnel ou par deux personnes.Several types of arms are already known which allow the attachment of a blind to the wall of a window, a terrace, etc. These generally include a joint and a hollow section fitted together, so that once assembled they cannot be dismantled. Some known interlocking methods include the use of glues between two one-way components or clips, i.e., elastic elements or forks that interlock in a notch. Usually these arms need to be fitted by a professional or two people.

L'un des inconvénients de ces bras est que toute erreur commise lors de la construction du bras ne peut pas être corrigée ultérieurement. Par exemple, si les deux articulations qui soutiennent le store à ses extrémités ne sont pas parallèles, l'inclinaison du store peut être visible, notamment en cas de stores très larges. Un autre inconvénient est que les composants logés au sein du profilé creux, tels que les ressorts, ne peuvent pas être réparés ou remplacés une fois le bras assemblé.One of the disadvantages of these arms is that any mistakes made during the construction of the arm cannot be corrected later. For example, if the two joints that support the blind at its ends are not parallel, the inclination of the blind may be visible, especially in the case of very wide blinds. Another disadvantage is that the components housed within the hollow section, such as the springs, cannot be repaired or replaced once the arm is assembled.

L'un des procédés connus pour coupler de façon démontable l'articulation au profilé creux est l'utilisation de vis insérées dans une direction transversale par rapport à la direction de l'emboîtement. Ces vis sont insérées sur un côté visible du bras pour permettre l'accès des outils. Les inconvénients des bras montés de cette manière sont que la vis réduit l'intégrité mécanique du profilé, est visible et peut se corroder, provoquant des décolorations.One of the known methods for detachably coupling the joint to the hollow section is the use of screws inserted in a direction transverse to the direction of fitting. These screws are inserted on a visible side of the arm to allow access for tools. The disadvantages of arms mounted this way are that the screw reduces the mechanical integrity of the profile, is visible and can corrode, causing discoloration.

Le document FR2421246A1 divulgue une marquise à bras extensibles. Les bras sont des profilés creux dans les extrémités desquels sont enfichés des oeilletons ou des organes d'articulation présentant un flasque de raccordement fixé par vis auto-taraudantes dans des canaux intérieurs des profilés creux. Le document DE8412694U1 présente une marquise avec des vis sur les côtés extérieurs des bras pour fixer ses organes d'articulation.The document FR2421246A1 discloses a canopy with extendable arms. The arms are hollow sections into the ends of which are inserted eyelets or articulation members having a connection flange fixed by self-tapping screws in the internal channels of the hollow sections. The document DE8412694U1 presents a marquise with screws on the outer sides of the arms to fix its articulation organs.

Le document US4208846 présente un store démontable avec une structure en aluminium et un ensemble de plaques sensiblement verticales appuyées sur la structure. Pour faciliter le montage et le démontage, des vis sont fournies sur les côtés extérieurs qui relient plusieurs profilés transversalement. Les vis sont très visibles et peuvent affaiblir la structure.The document US4208846 presents a removable awning with an aluminum structure and a set of substantially vertical plates resting on the structure. To facilitate assembly and disassembly, screws are provided on the outer sides which connect several profiles transversely. Screws are very visible and can weaken the structure.

DESCRIPTION DE L'INVENTIONDESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Pour surmonter les inconvénients de l'état de l'art, la présente invention propose un bras pourvu d'un corps principal qui définit une direction longitudinale, une extrémité de bras et des moyens d'emboîtement et de fixation entre le corps principal et l'extrémité de bras, dans lequel le corps principal est un profilé creux de sorte à définir un canal à l'intérieur, et l'extrémité de bras comprend, d'une part, une extrémité d'emboîtement pour son emboîtement dans le canal du profilé creux et, d'autre part, une articulation, dans lequel les moyens d'emboîtement et de fixation entre le corps principal et l'extrémité de bras sont constitués de :

  • au moins une saillie intérieure disposée dans le creux du profilé et pourvue d'au moins un orifice de vissage qui a la direction longitudinale ; et
  • disposé à l'extrémité de bras, au moins un canal d'emboîtement de logement de la saillie intérieure, au moins une surface d'appui pourvue d'au moins un orifice et disposée adjacente au canal d'emboîtement de logement de la saillie intérieure ; et
  • au moins une vis ;
de sorte que le corps principal et l'extrémité de bras puissent être couplés et fixés l'un à l'autre de façon réversible en introduisant l'extrémité d'emboîtement dans le profilé creux, de sorte que la saillie intérieure soit logée dans le canal d'emboîtement de logement de la saillie intérieure, en insérant la vis dans l'orifice, en appuyant sa tête sur la surface d'appui et en vissant son filetage dans l'orifice de vissage de la saillie intérieure.To overcome the drawbacks of the state of the art, the present invention proposes an arm provided with a main body which defines a longitudinal direction, an end of the arm and interlocking and fixing means between the main body and the arm end, in which the main body is a hollow profile so as to define a channel inside, and the arm end comprises, on the one hand, a fitting end for its fitting into the channel of the hollow section and, on the other hand, an articulation, in which the fitting and fixing means between the main body and the end of the arm consist of:
  • at least one inner projection disposed in the hollow of the profile and provided with at least one screw hole which has the longitudinal direction; and
  • arranged at the end of the arm, at least one housing fitting channel of the inner projection, at least one support surface provided with at least one orifice and arranged adjacent to the housing fitting channel of the inner projection ; and
  • at least one screw;
so that the main body and the arm end can be reversibly coupled and fixed to each other by inserting the socket end into the hollow profile, so that the inner projection is received in the housing fitting channel of the inner projection, by inserting the screw into the hole, resting its head on the support surface and screwing its thread into the screw hole of the inner projection.

Le logement de la saillie intérieure dans le creux du profilé permet de la cacher ainsi que la vis. L'insertion de la vis de façon longitudinale pour coupler l'extrémité du bras au corps principal permet également de cacher la vis et d'éviter d'affaiblir la structure du bras étant donné qu'il ne serait pas nécessaire de former de creux transversaux dans la structure. La seule partie de la vis qui est visible de l'extérieur est la tête. Donc, en cas de corrosion de la vis, la visibilité de celle-ci sera minime et la vis peut être remplacée. Le bras peut être assemblé à l'aide d'outils largement disponibles et ne nécessite pas les services d'un homme du métier. Aussi, en cas d'erreur lors du montage, celle-ci peut être corrigée en démontant la vis et en la remontant.The housing of the internal projection in the hollow of the profile makes it possible to hide it as well as the screw. Inserting the screw longitudinally to couple the end of the arm to the main body also makes it possible to hide the screw and avoid weakening the structure of the arm since it would not be necessary to form transverse hollows in structure. The only part of the screw that is visible from the outside is the head. So, in case of corrosion of the screw, the visibility of this will be minimal and the screw can be replaced. The arm can be assembled using widely available tools and does not require the services of a person skilled in the art. Also, in the event of an error during assembly, this can be corrected by dismantling the screw and reassembling it.

Un autre aspect de l'invention est la fourniture d'un bras, dans lequel l'au moins une saillie intérieure est en aluminium et a une section constante.Another aspect of the invention is the provision of an arm, in which the at least one internal projection is made of aluminum and has a constant section.

Cela permet de visser la surface intérieure de la saillie intérieure avec l'insertion d'une vis filetée d'un matériau plus rigide, par exemple une vis en acier.This makes it possible to screw the inner surface of the inner protrusion with the insertion of a threaded screw of a more rigid material, for example a steel screw.

Un autre aspect de l'invention est la fourniture d'un bras, dans lequel l'au moins une surface d'appui est prévue dans une transition entre l'extrémité d'emboîtement et l'articulation.Another aspect of the invention is the provision of an arm, in which the at least one bearing surface is provided in a transition between the socket end and the joint.

Un autre aspect de l'invention est la fourniture d'un bras, dans lequel la surface d'appui est prévue adjacente à l'articulation.Another aspect of the invention is the provision of an arm, in which the bearing surface is provided adjacent to the joint.

Cela permet à l'opérateur d'accéder à la surface d'appui avec un outil pour monter ou démonter la vis, tandis que la visibilité de la tête de la vis est réduite par l'articulation qui peut être d'un côté de la surface d'appui ou peut comprendre deux parties de part et d'autre.This allows the operator to access the bearing surface with a tool to assemble or disassemble the screw, while the visibility of the screw head is reduced by the articulation which can be on one side of the bearing surface or may comprise two parts on either side.

Un autre aspect de l'invention est la fourniture d'un bras, dans lequel le canal comprend au moins une saillie longitudinale de guidage et de fixation de l'extrémité de bras dans le canal.Another aspect of the invention is the provision of an arm, in which the channel comprises at least one longitudinal projection for guiding and fixing the end of the arm in the channel.

Un autre aspect de l'invention est la fourniture d'un bras, dans lequel l'extrémité d'emboîtement comprend au moins une rainure longitudinale pour loger l'au moins une saillie longitudinale.Another aspect of the invention is the provision of an arm, in which the fitting end comprises at least one longitudinal groove to accommodate the at least one longitudinal projection.

La saillie longitudinale de guidage et la rainure longitudinale pour loger la saillie stabilisent la structure lors de son montage avant l'insertion de la vis par l'opérateur. Cela simplifie le montage du bras afin qu'il puisse être monté par une seule personne.The longitudinal guide projection and the longitudinal groove for accommodating the projection stabilize the structure during its assembly before the insertion of the screw by the operator. This simplifies the mounting of the arm so that it can be mounted by one person.

Un autre aspect de l'invention est la fourniture d'un bras, dans lequel l'extrémité d'emboîtement est un profilé en forme de U.Another aspect of the invention is the provision of an arm, in which the fitting end is a U-shaped profile.

Ceci permet de limiter le poids de l'extrémité d'emboîtement et laisse un espace creux où d'autres composants du bras peuvent être logés, par exemple une ou plusieurs saillies intérieures ou des saillies longitudinales de guidage.This makes it possible to limit the weight of the fitting end and leaves a hollow space where other components of the arm can be accommodated, for example one or more internal projections or longitudinal guide projections.

Un autre aspect de l'invention est la fourniture d'un bras, dans lequel l'extrémité d'emboîtement comprend trois parois en forme de U, de sorte à définir une aile supérieure et une aile inférieure reliées par une âme, dans lequel l'au moins une saillie longitudinale est logée dans un espace entre l'aile supérieure et l'aile inférieure.Another aspect of the invention is the provision of an arm, in which the socket end comprises three U-shaped walls, so as to define an upper wing and a lower wing connected by a web, in which the at least one longitudinal projection is accommodated in a space between the upper wing and the lower wing.

Dans cet aspect de l'invention, la saillie longitudinale peut être située juste à côté de l'une des ailes, servant ainsi à guider l'extrémité d'emboîtement.In this aspect of the invention, the longitudinal protrusion may be located just beside one of the flanges, thereby serving to guide the mating end.

Un autre aspect de l'invention est la fourniture d'un bras, dans lequel l'extrémité d'emboîtement comprend une paroi transversale à une extrémité, dans lequel la paroi transversale comprend au moins deux encoches pour loger l'au moins une saillie intérieure et l'au moins une saillie longitudinale.Another aspect of the invention is the provision of an arm, in which the socket end comprises a transverse wall at one end, wherein the transverse wall includes at least two notches to accommodate the at least one interior projection and the at least one longitudinal projection.

Les encoches sont une alternative aux rainures longitudinales lorsque le bras a une autre géométrie qui ne ressemble pas à une U, par exemple lorsqu'il n'a pas de paroi longitudinale continue dans la zone de la saillie intérieure.Notches are an alternative to longitudinal grooves when the arm has another geometry that does not look like a U, for example when it does not have a continuous longitudinal wall in the area of the inner protrusion.

Un autre aspect de l'invention est la fourniture d'un bras, dans lequel le bras comprend deux saillies intérieures disposées dans le creux du profilé et pourvues de deux orifices de vissage qui ont la direction longitudinale ; et disposés à l'extrémité de bras, deux canaux d'emboîtement supérieur et inférieur de logement des saillies intérieures, deux surfaces d'appui pourvues d'orifices respectifs et disposées adjacentes aux canaux d'emboîtement supérieur et inférieur de logement des saillies intérieures ; et deux vis.Another aspect of the invention is the provision of an arm, in which the arm comprises two internal projections arranged in the hollow of the profile and provided with two screw holes which have the longitudinal direction; and arranged at the end of the arm, two upper and lower interlocking channels for housing the internal projections, two support surfaces provided with respective orifices and arranged adjacent to the upper and lower interlocking channels for housing the internal projections; and two screws.

L'utilisation de deux vis à chaque bras améliore la stabilité de la structure.The use of two screws on each arm improves the stability of the structure.

Un autre aspect de l'invention est la fourniture d'un bras dans lequel l'extrémité d'emboîtement comprend un orifice d'ancrage pour ancrer un système de tension réglable pour la régulation de la tension d'un élément de traction du store.Another aspect of the invention is the provision of an arm in which the engagement end comprises an anchoring hole for anchoring an adjustable tensioning system for regulating the tension of a tension element of the blind.

Les bras pour stores peuvent comprendre une variété de systèmes de tension pour maintenir les bras d'un store dépliés en l'absence de forces externes. Ceux-ci peuvent être ancrés aux extrémités des bras, dans ce cas, ils sont ancrés dans un orifice à l'extrémité d'emboîtement.Arms for awnings can include a variety of tensioning systems to keep the arms of an awning unfolded in the absence of external forces. These can be anchored to the ends of the arms, in which case they are anchored in a hole at the end of the socket.

Un autre aspect de l'invention est la fourniture d'un bras dans lequel l'extrémité d'emboîtement comprend également un canal longitudinal pour le logement d'un système de tension réglable, le système de tension réglable comprenant un tronçon de longueur réglable raccordé à un élément élastique, le tronçon de longueur réglable étant ancré dans l'orifice d'ancrage.Another aspect of the invention is the provision of an arm in which the fitting end also comprises a longitudinal channel for the accommodation of an adjustable tensioning system, the adjustable tensioning system comprising a section of adjustable length connected to an elastic element, the adjustable length section being anchored in the anchoring orifice.

La géométrie de l'extrémité d'emboîtement est configurée pour loger le système de tension pour que celui-ci ne soit pas visible de l'extérieur. La configuration longitudinale évite la nécessité d'affaiblir la structure en créant des creux transversaux. Le canal longitudinal loge un tronçon de longueur réglable pour régler manuellement la tension sur un élément élastique tel qu'un ressort. Ce tronçon peut être une vis sans fin raccordée au moyen d'un anneau au ressort, ce ressort étant ancré à son autre extrémité à un autre composant du store. Le canal longitudinal peut avoir une surface intérieure filetée ou peut être en aluminium et avoir une section intérieure constante.The geometry of the interlocking end is configured to accommodate the tensioning system so that it is not visible from the outside. The longitudinal configuration avoids the need to weaken the structure by creating transverse hollows. The longitudinal channel houses a section of adjustable length for manually adjusting the tension on an elastic element such as a spring. This section can be an endless screw connected by means of a ring to the spring, this spring being anchored at its other end to another component of the blind. The longitudinal channel may have a threaded inner surface or may be aluminum and have a constant inner section.

Un autre aspect de l'invention est la fourniture d'un bras dans lequel l'orifice d'ancrage est situé dans une transition entre l'extrémité d'emboîtement et l'articulation pour appuyer une tête d'un tronçon de longueur réglable, la tête pourvue d'un emboîtement pour un outil et la tête étant appuyée sur l'orifice d'ancrage.Another aspect of the invention is the provision of an arm in which the anchoring orifice is located in a transition between the fitting end and the articulation to support a head of a section of adjustable length, the head provided with a socket for a tool and the head being supported on the anchoring orifice.

Cet outil peut être, par exemple, une clé Allen, ce qui facilite le montage, le démontage ou la régulation du tronçon de longueur réglable. Situer l'orifice d'ancrage dans la transition entre l'extrémité d'emboîtement et l'articulation permet de minimiser la visibilité du tronçon de longueur réglable.This tool can be, for example, an Allen key, which facilitates the assembly, disassembly or regulation of the adjustable length section. Situating the anchoring hole in the transition between the fitting end and the articulation makes it possible to minimize the visibility of the adjustable length section.

Un autre aspect de l'invention est la fourniture d'un store qui comprend deux bras selon l'une quelconque des revendications précédentes.Another aspect of the invention is the provision of a blind which comprises two arms according to any of the preceding claims.

Un autre aspect de l'invention est la fourniture d'un procédé d'assemblage d'un bras qui comprend : l'insertion de l'extrémité du bras dans le corps principal le long de la direction, puis l'insertion de l'au moins une vis dans au moins un canal formé par l'au moins un orifice, l'au moins un orifice de vissage et l'au moins une saillie.Another aspect of the invention is to provide a method of assembling an arm which comprises: inserting the end of the arm into the main body along the direction, then inserting the at least one screw in at least one channel formed by the at least one hole, the at least one screw hole and the at least one projection.

Le montage du bras dans ces deux étapes permet de former une structure relativement stable en premier lieu, en insérant l'extrémité du bras dans le corps principal, de telle sorte qu'une deuxième personne n'est pas nécessaire pour stabiliser les différents composants dans leurs positions lors de l'insertion des vis. Cela facilite le montage du bras.Assembling the arm in these two steps makes it possible to form a relatively stable structure in the first place, by inserting the end of the arm into the main body, so that a second person is not necessary to stabilize the various components in their positions when inserting the screws. This makes mounting the arm easier.
