  It is furthermore specified that, when, according to the definition of the invention, the object of the invention comprises "at least one" element having a given function, the embodiment described may comprise several of these elements. Conversely, if the embodiment of the object according to the invention as illustrated comprises several elements of identical function and if, in the description, it is not specified that the object according to this invention must obligatorily comprise a particular number of these elements, the object of the invention may be defined as comprising "at least one" of these elements.

  Lastly, it is specified that when, in the present description, an expression defines, by itself, without a specific particular mention concerning it, a set of structural characteristics, these characteristics may be taken, for the definition of the object of the protection requested, when technically possible, either separately, or in full and / or partial combination.

  The present invention relates to a pocket closure system, an opening 100 made in a wall 4 of a building, which is essentially characterized in that it comprises, more particularly with reference to FIGS. 1, 2 and 5, at least a slider 3 comprising a window 50 made of a material capable of passing light radiation and constituting a heat shield and a frame 52 supporting the window 50, at least one occulting flap 1 of the opening 100, at least one housing open 54 made in the thickness of the wall 4, the open housing 54 opening on an edge 56 of the opening 100 and having dimensions defined so that the slider 3 and the flap 1 are able to be housed in the month partially, and means 60 (FIG. 5) to enable the sliding 3 and the shutter 1 to move in translation independently of each other, each in a given direction Dd between two positions, a first position, for example called "closed", in which they hide the opening 100 and a second position called "open", wherein they are housed at least partially in the open housing 54 to release the opening.

  It is understood that, when the opening 100 is that of a window or French window, for reasons of space and ease of implementation, it is preferable that the given direction Dd is the same for the sliding 3 and the shutter 1, and that in addition it is substantially horizontal. In this way, the open housing 54 is made in the wall 4 at the same level as the opening and opens on one of the two vertical sides of this opening.

  It is specified that, in the illustrated embodiment and as more particularly visible in FIG. 1, the shutter 1 and the slider 3 are constituted in two parts, but that they could equally well be made in more than two parts, or in one part.

  In the illustrated embodiment, each flap portion 1 and each sliding portion 3 are adapted to be housed in two housings 54 made in the wall 4 on either side of the opening 100.

  However, for the purpose of simplifying the present description, it will be given below the description of an embodiment of the system according to the invention comprising a flap 1 and a slider 3 each in one part.

  An embodiment in which the flap 1 and the slider 3 would be in two or more parts will be deduced without any difficulty from this description.

  It is further specified that, by sliding, it is understood, in the sense of the present description, both a window itself as a French window or the like.

  The frame 52 defined above, and as illustrated in Figures 1 and 2, consists essentially of an internal vertical upright 12, two horizontal high and low crosspieces 17 and an outer vertical upright 18, 19.

  When the slider consists of two parts as shown in Figure 1, the two vertical vertical uprights 18, 19 respectively belonging to the two sliding parts, are adapted to cooperate together, for example by interlocking, when the two sliding parts completely obscure the opening 100 as shown in Figure 1.

  As for the flap 1, it preferably comprises a frame having substantially the same shape as that of the sliding and delimiting a frame, and a plurality of orientable blades 2 mounted in the frame in cooperation with the frame as described below. These steerable blades are arranged to be able to take two positions, a first "folded" position and a second "deployed" position.

  Advantageously, the system according to the invention is designed so that, in terms of space and aesthetics, when the two elements constituted by the shutter 1 and the sliding member 3 are in their open position, that is to say when they are entirely contained in the open housing 54, the opening 100 is completely unobstructed. In said closed position, the internal vertical uprights 12 and the high rails 17 are completely hidden and contained in the housing 54.

  It is specified that, by wall 4, it is understood any kind of wall entering the construction of buildings, both residential and industrial or similar. The open housing 54 defined above can thus be made entirely in the masonry 2891299 7 of the wall 4 or between the masonry and a wall facing, for example a plating of thermal insulating material or the like.

  According to a particularly advantageous embodiment, it is preferable that, with this system according to the invention, the thermal performance of the building in which the opening 100 is made is maintained, in particular at the sliding 3. This purpose is obtained for example at means of insulating bars 5 arranged inside aluminum profiles constituting for example the vertical upright 18, 19.

  In addition, advantageously, to prevent the entry of cold air into the building when the flap 1 is in the open position, FIG. 1, the system according to the invention comprises, in its discharge zone in the open housing 54, a wall vertical 6, for example in a thermal insulating material, fixed on the faces of the open housing 54 preferably through profiles 7. This wall 6 has the effect of creating two independent boxes 8, 9 without communication one with the other, one for the shutter 1 the other for the shutter 3.

  In order to perfect the insulation, the insulating wall 6 is extended towards the outlet of the housing 54 by an extension profile 10 making it possible to support friction seals 11 between this extension profile 10 and the two internal vertical uprights 12 respectively. of the shutter 1 and the slider 3 when they are in their closed position, FIG.

  It is also desirable that the mechanical strength is ensured, including resistance to wind pressure.

  Therefore, the profiles constituting the vertical uprights 12 of the frame of the slider 3 and the shutter 1 are provided with connecting pieces 13 which are well known technicians in the terminology of baffles. The baffle 13 on the side 1 flap for example clings to a section 14 secured to the wall 4 and high and low rails for the displacement respectively of the shutter 1 and the sliding 3. The baffle 13 sliding side 3 is hooked on a reinforced section 15 secured to the high and low rails. To complete the seal, the baffles 13 may each further comprise a seal 16.

  As mentioned before, the flap 1 is advantageously of the type with blades 2 which can be oriented to let the light while ensuring the function of "sunbreak". The adjustable blades can provide a very wide and varied range of lighting atmospheres, that do not allow the shutters.

  An advantageous embodiment of such a flap of the type with adjustable blades 2 is more particularly illustrated in Figures 1 and 2 as a whole, and in more detail in Figures 3 and 4.

  It is firstly specified that in a possible and advantageous embodiment, each blade 2 is in the general shape of a rectangular parallelepiped and essentially comprises a tube 21 of advantageously rectangular section located towards the upper part of the blade, a groove 22 also located in the upper part of the blade with advantageously a seal 23 on which is able to rest the lower face 24 of the upper blade, that is to say located just above in the normal position of the system 10 according to the invention, and a cage 25 in which is housed a mass piece of the solid profiled type or the like to act as a counterweight to balance the blade when it is in its deployed position and can therefore be largely in overflow, figure 4.

  Each blade 2 may also consist of plates superimposed on one another while delimiting between them a free space, in order to introduce into this space, if necessary, a layer 26 of a non-conductive material of the heat.

  The system according to the invention comprises means 70 for controlling the orientation of the blades 2, which essentially comprise on-board motorization means 90 and a control mechanism 80 coupling the motorization means 90 and the blades 2.

  The control means 70 of the orientation of the blades 2 must have the smallest possible footprint while allowing to give the blades a large overhang in their deployed position to fulfill their function of solar breeze, that is to say to say to make them undergo a rotation which can be of the order of ninety degrees.

  According to a preferred embodiment, to be able to more easily associate the control means 70 to the shutter 1, the profile of the vertical vertical upright 12 of the flap frame, has on its rear face a linear cavity 20 whose function will be defined below. In addition, each blade 2 has a finishing flange 28 on each of its ends (Figure 3).

  In order to synchronize the rotational movements, in both directions, of all the blades 2, the control mechanism 80 comprises trainers 29 which fit into the section 21 of each blade 2, the locking of the connection with this blade is by causing the driver 29 to expand by means of, for example, a wedge 30. The rotation guidance of the drivers 29 is ensured by a bearing 31 mounted on a profile 27. Each driver 29 is equipped with two cylindrical pins 32 on which connect two pre-drilled 33 drive rods. Thus, during the rotation of the blades 2, one drive rod works by pushing, the other works by pulling.

  To effect the rotational movement of the blades 2, the basic trainer substitutes a main trainer 34 which has the same characteristics but to which is added a coupling zone 35. This coupling zone 35 passes through the internal vertical section 12 and connects to a bevel gear 36. The bevel gearbox 36 is itself coupled to a tubular motor 37 fixed to a bracket 38, which constitutes the drive means 90 defined above. The angle return assembly 36, tubular motor 37 and bracket 38 is fixed in the linear cavity 20 defined previously.

  It is very advantageous that the system further comprises an electronic sensor adapted to recognize the position of the blades 2 and to allow the passage of the shutter 1, from its closed position to its open position, when the blades are in the folded position. Such a sensor is well known in itself and does not pose a difficulty to a person skilled in the art.

  As for the means 60 allowing the translational movement of the slider 3 and the shutter 1, they are provided by a conventional motor assembly which is mounted in cooperation with sliding rails integral with the bottom of the opening 100 and the housing 54 and by rolling carriages integral with the bottom of the sliding 3 and the shutter 1.

  Part of these translational displacement means 60 comprises, in a known manner, means for counter-pulley, toothed belt, belt gear, etc., schematically illustrated in FIG.

  In order to respond more perfectly to the requirements of thermal insulation and simplification of the laying of the system according to the invention, it is advantageous that the latter further comprises a beam 39 on which is associated all of the translational movement means 60 .

  To ensure the drive, a toothed belt 40 is disposed on each side of the beam 39. Once the beam 39 placed in a box 41 arranged for this purpose, the beam 39 creates two separate boxes, one in the right of the shutter 1, the other on the sliding right 3.
