Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a tulip for guiding a screen of a protection installation, in particular a roller shutter installation, and a protection installation comprising such a tulip.
  • these openings are generally equipped with a protective installation, for example a roller shutter installation, to protect the interior of the building from the sun and/or prevent intrusions.
  • a protective installation for example a roller shutter installation
  • a protective installation generally comprises a box, fixed to the wall above the opening, in which is housed a tube for rolling up a protective screen, for example a roller shutter apron, or a solar screen or a mosquito net.
  • the tube is supported at each of its ends by a support mechanism, for example comprising a flange, and is pivotally mounted relative to the box.
  • a support mechanism for example comprising a flange
  • each slide is equipped, at an upper end, with a flared part, called a tulip, to guide and assist the sliding of the screen in the corresponding slide.
  • FR-2 951 772-A1 describes, for example, a tulip embedded on a leg, fixed both to the flange and to the wall. Replacing the tulip requires dismantling the leg, which amounts to removing the entire mechanism of the installation.
  • DE 10 2018 104138 A1 discloses a tulip according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the invention aims to address in particular, by proposing a tulip which is adaptable to various types of trunk and easy to assemble.
  • the invention relates to a tulip for guiding a screen of a protection installation, in particular a roller shutter, the tulip comprising an internal portion with a fixing part, configured to be assembled to a casing of the protection installation, and an internal shoe, configured to guide the screen according to a guide plane when an internal face of the screen slides on this internal shoe, the fixing part comprises a tab, which extends according to an adjustment axis orthogonal to the guide plane.
  • the tulip can be fixed directly to the bottom board independently of the existing mechanism, in particular without having to dismantle the mechanism supporting the winding tube, which is particularly practical.
  • One or more tulips can thus be placed along the front edge of the bottom board, according to the needs of the installer.
  • the breakable tab allows the position of the internal pad to be adjusted relative to the front edge of the bottom board, so as to adapt to the various thicknesses of protective screen and/or other elements of the trunk, for example thermal insulators.
  • the tulip is thus adaptable to any type of trunk.
  • the external portion is fixed on an internal face of the front board of the trunk, opposite the internal pad of the internal portion according to the adjustment axis.
  • a protection installation 8 is partially shown on the figure 1 .
  • the protective installation 8 is here a roller shutter installation.
  • the protective installation 8 is fixed on a wall 10, above an opening 12 made in the wall 10.
  • the wall 10 is assumed to be vertical, the description being made in relation to the orientation of the various elements shown in the figures, knowing that it may be otherwise in reality.
  • a joinery 14 is here received in the opening 12.
  • the protective installation 8 comprises a box 20, which is therefore here a roller shutter box.
  • the box 20 has an elongated shape extending along a main axis A20.
  • the box 20 is arranged above the opening 12, the main axis A20 being horizontal here.
  • the box 20 comprises two side flanges, only one flange 22 being visible on the figure 1 , and a board assembly 24.
  • the board assembly 24 here comprises four boards, with a lower board 24A, which is substantially horizontal and connected to the joinery 14, a front board 24B, which is arranged against the wall 10 and is here vertical, an upper board 24C, which is here shown in dotted transparency to reveal the interior of the trunk 20, and a rear board 24D, which is parallel to the front board 24B.
  • the lower 24A, front 24B, upper 24C and rear 24D boards extend parallel to the main axis A20 and delimit an internal volume V20 of the trunk 20.
  • the boards 24 are made of a synthetic polymer material, for example PVC, are here produced by hot extrusion of synthetic polymer material and advantageously have a honeycomb profile, which promotes the thermal insulation of the trunk 20.
  • the lower board 24A here horizontal, comprises a front edge 25A, which is arranged parallel to the main axis A20 on the side of the front board 24B, while the front board 24B, here vertical, comprises a lower edge 25B, which is arranged parallel to and opposite the front edge 25A, the front edge 25A and the lower edge 25B delimiting a slot 26, arranged between the lower board 24A and the front board 24B and through which the internal volume V20 opens downwards.
  • the slot 26, which has an elongated shape and extends parallel to the main axis A20, is provided for the passage of a protective screen 40, described later and shown only in the figure. figure 2 .

  • the screen 40 comprises an internal face 42A, which is here oriented towards the lower board 24A, and an external face 42B, opposite the internal face 42A and here oriented towards the front board 24B.
  • the screen 40 is attached to the tube 30, for example by means of a lock as described in the application FR-3 099 515-A1 .
  • the lock is not shown in the figures.
  • a user controls the rotation of the winding tube 30, either manually by means of, for example, a crank/pinion assembly or a strap/pulley assembly, or automatically by means of an electric motor, the screen 40 winds or unwinds around the tube 30 according to a direction of rotation of the tube 30, an unwound portion of the screen 40, which passes through the slot 26, rising or falling in front of the opening 12 to partially or completely obscure it.
  • the protective installation 8 also comprises a tulip 100, configured to guide the screen 40 during its movements through the slot 26, so that the screen 40 does not rub directly against the boards 24A and 24B.
  • the tulip 100 comprises an outer portion 110, which is mounted on the front board 24B, and an inner portion 120, which is mounted on the lower board 24A.
  • the tulip 100 is made of an abrasion-resistant synthetic polymer material, for example polyoxymethylene, also called POM, and is produced for example by hot injection.
  • the internal portion 120 comprises an internal pad 122, which is here arranged between the front edge 25A of the lower board 24A and the front board 24B and which is configured so that the internal face 42A of the screen 40 slides thereon, so as to guide the screen 40 in the slot 26 and to prevent the screen 40 from rubbing against the lower board 24A.
  • a guide plane P26 is defined as being a plane parallel to the wall 10 and dividing the slot 26 in two.
  • the guide plane P26 is therefore a median plane of the slot 26, here vertical and parallel to the front board 24B.
