Description

•-.Mnibrequin lumineux pour store à rouleau • -.Mnibrequin light for roller blind
La présente invention concerne un lambrequin lumineux pour store à rouleau, notamment un store extérieur placé sur la devanture d'un magasin ou autre établissement ouvert au public.The present invention relates to a luminous lambrequin for a roller blind, in particular an external blind placed on the front of a store or other establishment open to the public.
Un lambrequin est, traditionnellement, une bande de toile suspendue à l'avant d'un store, sous la barre de charge. Dans le cas d'un store installé devant un magasin ou autre commerce, le lambrequin sert souvent de support à une inscription qui est notamment l'enseigne du magasin, ou encore par exemple le nom d'un restaurant.A lambrequin is, traditionally, a strip of canvas suspended in front of a blind, under the load bar. In the case of a blind installed in front of a store or other business, the lambrequin often serves as a support for an inscription which is in particular the sign of the store, or even for example the name of a restaurant.
Il est apparu intéressant de réaliser, pour ce genre d'utilisation, un lambrequin lumineux qui permette d'éclairer et de mettre en valeur l'enseigne, notamment pendant la nuit. A titre subsidiaire, un lambrequin lumineux apporte aussi un éclairage de l'espace situé sous le store, lorsque ce dernier est déployé ; on peut ainsi obtenir, notamment, un éclairage d'une vitrine pour 1 ' extérieur.It appeared interesting to make, for this kind of use, a luminous lambrequin which allows to illuminate and enhance the sign, especially at night. In the alternative, a luminous lambrequin also provides lighting for the space located under the blind, when the latter is deployed; it is thus possible, in particular, to light a display case for the exterior.
Toutefois, la réalisation d'un lambrequin lumineux pose un certain nombre de problèmes techniques. En premier lieu, pour procurer les effets indiqués ci-dessus, le lambrequin doit être conçu de manière à éclairer aussi bien vers l'avant (éclairage de l'enseigne) que vers l'arrière (éclairage dirigé vers la vitrine). Le dispositif doit aussi être réalisé de manière à permettre le remplacement aisé de lampes électriques ou de tubes fluorescents défectueux. Par ailleurs, si l'on souhaite généraliser l'application de tels lambrequins lumineux, ceux-ci doivent pouvoir équiper non seulement des stores neufs, mais aussi des stores préexistants.However, the production of a luminous lambrequin poses a certain number of technical problems. First of all, to obtain the effects indicated above, the lambrequin must be designed so as to illuminate both forward (sign lighting) and rear (lighting directed towards the window). The device must also be made in such a way as to allow easy replacement of faulty electric lamps or fluorescent tubes. Furthermore, if one wishes to generalize the application of such luminous lambrequins, these must be able to equip not only new blinds, but also pre-existing blinds.
La présente invention vise à résoudre tous ces problèmes, en fournissant une structure adéquate pour un lambrequin lumineux et ses moyens d'attache au restant d'un store à rouleau . A cet effet, l'invention a essentiellement pour objet un lambrequin lumineux pour store à rouleau qui comprend, en combinaison : une ossature rigide composée d'un élément horizontal supérieur, d'un élément horizontal inférieur et d'éléments verticaux qui relient l'élément supérieur à l'élément inférieur, l'élément supérieur étant pourvu de moyens d'attache à la barre de charge de la toile d'un store à rouleau, ou constituant lui-même cette barre de charge ;The present invention aims to solve all these problems, by providing an adequate structure for a luminous lambrequin and its means of attachment to the remainder of a roller blind. To this end, the subject of the invention is essentially a luminous lambrequin for a roller blind which comprises, in combination: a rigid frame composed of an upper horizontal element, a lower horizontal element and vertical elements which connect the upper element to the lower element, the upper element being provided with means for attaching to the load bar of the fabric of a roller blind, or itself constituting this load bar;
- une toile translucide, pliée en "U" ou en "V", qui part de l'élément horizontal supérieur, passe sous l'élément horizontal inférieur et revient jusqu'à l'élément horizontal supérieur, en formant ainsi un panneau de toile avant et un panneau de toile arrière, des moyens de fixation démontable étant prévus entre les bords supérieurs respectifs des panneaux de toile avant et arrière, d'une part, et l'élément supérieur de l'ossature, d'autre part ; - des moyens d'éclairage électriques, portés par ladite ossature et disposés entre le panneau de toile avant et le panneau de toile arrière.- a translucent canvas, folded in a "U" or "V" shape, which starts from the upper horizontal element, passes under the lower horizontal element and returns to the upper horizontal element, thus forming a canvas panel front and a rear canvas panel, removable fixing means being provided between the respective upper edges of the front and rear canvas panels, on the one hand, and the upper element of the frame, on the other hand; - Electric lighting means, carried by said frame and arranged between the front canvas panel and the rear canvas panel.
On obtient ainsi un lambrequin lumineux, dont la structure comprend une ossature rigide, une toile translucide fixée et tendue sur l'ossature, et un éclairage intérieur, apte à illuminer aussi bien la face avant que la face arrière de la toile translucide pliée en "U" ou en "V".A luminous lambrequin is thus obtained, the structure of which comprises a rigid framework, a translucent canvas fixed and stretched on the framework, and interior lighting, capable of illuminating both the front face and the rear face of the translucent canvas folded in " U "or" V ".
Selon un mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention, l'élément supérieur de l'ossature est un profilé qui comporte une âme horizontale et deux ailes verticales opposées, respectivement extérieure et intérieure, dirigées vers le bas, l'âme du profilé étant pourvue des moyens d'attache à la barre de charge de la toile du store à rouleau, tandis qu'aux deux ailes sont fixés de façon démontable les bords supérieurs respectifs des panneaux de toile avant et arrière de la toile translucide.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the upper element of the framework is a profile which comprises a horizontal core and two opposite vertical wings, respectively outer and inner, directed downwards, the core of the profile being provided means for attaching to the load bar of the fabric of the roller blind, while at the two wings are detachably fixed the respective upper edges canvas panels front and back of the translucent canvas.
Les bords supérieurs des panneaux de toile avant et arrière de la toile translucide peuvent être fixés de façon démontable aux ailes extérieure et intérieure du profilé supérieur de l'ossature par divers moyens appropriés : rubans autoagrippants, ou boutons, ou encore liaisons par rainures et bourrelets complémentaires.The upper edges of the front and rear fabric panels of the translucent fabric can be removably attached to the outer and inner wings of the upper frame profile by various suitable means: hook-and-loop tapes, or buttons, or even connections by grooves and beads complementary.
Avantageusement, les moyens d'attache du lambrequin lumineux à la barre de charge de la toile du store à rouleau sont constitués par un profilé d'attache, en forme de baguette plate présentant des bourrelets continus sur ses deux bords longitudinaux, l'un des bourrelets étant introduit dans une gorge longitudinale de la barre de charge, tandis que l'autre bourrelet est introduit dans une gorge longitudinale ménagée sur l'âme du profilé supérieur de l'ossature du lambrequin lumineux. Cette solution est plus particulièrement intéressante pour un lambrequin lumineux à fixer sur un store préexistant, sachant que dans le cas d'un store nouveau, le lambrequin lumineux peut être directement incorporé au store, l'élément supérieur de l'ossature du lambrequin étant alors confondu avec la barre de charge.Advantageously, the means of attachment of the luminous lambrequin to the load bar of the fabric of the roller blind consist of an attachment profile, in the form of a flat rod having continuous beads on its two longitudinal edges, one of the beads being introduced into a longitudinal groove of the load bar, while the other bead is introduced into a longitudinal groove formed on the core of the upper profile of the framework of the luminous lambrequin. This solution is more particularly advantageous for a luminous lambrequin to be fixed on a pre-existing blind, knowing that in the case of a new blind, the luminous lambrequin can be directly incorporated into the blind, the upper element of the lambrequin's framework then being confused with the load bar.
Dans le cas d'une toile translucide pliée en "U", l'élément horizontal inférieur de l'ossature, sous lequel passe cette toile, est conformé en plaque de renfort horizontale. Par contre, dans le cas d'une toile translucide pliée en "V", l'élément horizontal inférieur de l'ossature, sous lequel passe cette toile, est plutôt conformé en barre.In the case of a translucent fabric folded in a "U" shape, the lower horizontal element of the framework, under which this fabric passes, is shaped as a horizontal reinforcing plate. On the other hand, in the case of a translucent fabric folded in a "V" shape, the lower horizontal element of the framework, under which this fabric passes, is rather shaped as a bar.
Quant aux moyens d'éclairage électriques, constitués par exemple par des tubes fluorescents, ceux-ci peuvent être portés par l'élément horizontal supérieur et/ou par l'élément horizontal inférieur de l'ossature du lambrequin lumineux. Les moyens d'éclairage sont ainsi fixés en partie haute, ou en partie basse, ou encore en partie haute et en partie basse. Dans tous les cas, ces moyens d'éclairage restent accessibles, grâce à la fixation démontable de la toile translucide, ce qui permet notamment leur remplacement en cas de besoin. L'invention sera de toute façon mieux comprise à l'aide de la description qui suit, en référence au dessin schématique annexé représentant, à titre d'exemples, quelques formes d'exécution de ce lambrequin lumineux pour store à rouleau : Figure 1 est une vue de l'ensemble, en perspective, d'un store à rouleau équipé d'un lambrequin lumineux conforme à la présente invention ;As for the electrical lighting means, constituted for example by fluorescent tubes, these can be carried by the upper horizontal element and / or by the lower horizontal element of the framework of the luminous lambrequin. The lighting means are thus fixed in the upper part, or in the lower part, or even in upper part and lower part. In all cases, these lighting means remain accessible, thanks to the removable fixing of the translucent fabric, which allows in particular their replacement if necessary. The invention will in any case be better understood with the aid of the description which follows, with reference to the appended diagrammatic drawing representing, by way of examples, some embodiments of this luminous lambrequin for roller blinds: Figure 1 is a view of the assembly, in perspective, of a roller blind equipped with a luminous lambrequin according to the present invention;
Figure 2 est une vue de face, avec coupe partielle, du lambrequin lumineux seul ; Figure 3 est une vue en coupe transversale de ce lambrequin lumineux, à échelle agrandie, suivant III-III de figure 1 ;Figure 2 is a front view, partly in section, of the luminous lambrequin alone; Figure 3 is a cross-sectional view of this luminous lambrequin, on an enlarged scale, along III-III of Figure 1;
Figure 4 est une vue en coupe similaire à figure 3, illustrant une variante de ce lambrequin lumineux. La figure 1 montre un store à rouleau, désigné dans son ensemble par le repère 1, installé sur la façade ou devanture 2 d'un magasin ou autre local ouvert au public. D'une manière traditionnelle, le store à rouleau 1 comprend une toile 3, dont l'extrémité postérieure est liée à un tube d'enroulement 4 monté tournant dans des paliers 5 fixés contre la façade ou devanture 2 , et dont l'extrémité antérieure est liée à une barre de charge 6. Cette dernière est tenue au moyen de bras de tension articulés 7. Le lambrequin désigné globalement par le repère 8 , est attaché sous la barre de charge 6.Figure 4 is a sectional view similar to Figure 3, illustrating a variant of this luminous lambrequin. Figure 1 shows a roller blind, designated as a whole by the reference 1, installed on the front or front 2 of a store or other room open to the public. Traditionally, the roller blind 1 comprises a fabric 3, the rear end of which is linked to a winding tube 4 mounted rotating in bearings 5 fixed against the facade or storefront 2, and the front end of which is linked to a load bar 6. The latter is held by means of articulated tension arms 7. The lambrequin generally designated by the reference 8, is attached under the load bar 6.
La structure du lambrequin 8 est décrite ci-après dans une première forme de réalisation, en se référant aussi aux figures 2 et 3.The structure of the lambrequin 8 is described below in a first embodiment, also referring to FIGS. 2 and 3.
Cette structure comprend une ossature rigide, qui se compose elle-même d'un profilé horizontal supérieur 9, d'une plaque de renfort horizontale inférieure 10, et de montants 11 qui relient le profilé supérieur 9 à la plaque inférieure 10. Le profilé supérieur 9 comporte une âme horizontale 12, et deux ailes verticales opposées 13 et 14, respectivement extérieure et intérieure, dirigées vers le bas.This structure comprises a rigid framework, which itself consists of an upper horizontal profile 9, a lower horizontal reinforcing plate 10, and uprights 11 which connect the upper section 9 to the lower plate 10. The upper section 9 has a horizontal core 12, and two opposite vertical wings 13 and 14, respectively outside and inside, directed downwards.
Le lambrequin 8 possède encore une toile translucide 15, pliée en "U", qui forme un panneau de toile avant 16 et un panneau de toile arrière 17, sensiblement parallèles. Le panneau de toile avant 16 s'étend depuis la plaque inférieure 10 jusqu'au profilé supérieur 9 ; le bord supérieur de ce panneau de toile avant 16 est fixé de façon démontable, notamment au moyen de rubans autoagrippants 18, sur l'aile extérieure 13 du profilé supérieur 9. De manière symétrique, le panneau de toile arrière 17 s'étend depuis la plaque inférieure 10 jusqu'au profilé supérieur 9 ; le bord supérieur de ce panneau de toile arrière 17 est fixé de façon démontable, notamment au moyen de rubans autoagrippants 19, sur l'aile intérieure 14 du profilé supérieur 9. La partie inférieure de la toile translucide 15, qui relie son panneau avant 16 à son panneau arrière 17, passe sous la plaque inférieure 10 de l'ossature.The lambrequin 8 also has a translucent fabric 15, folded in a "U" shape, which forms a front fabric panel 16 and a rear fabric panel 17, which are substantially parallel. The front canvas panel 16 extends from the lower plate 10 to the upper profile 9; the upper edge of this front canvas panel 16 is detachably fixed, in particular by means of hook-and-loop tapes 18, on the outer wing 13 of the upper profile 9. Symmetrically, the rear canvas panel 17 extends from the lower plate 10 to the upper profile 9; the upper edge of this rear canvas panel 17 is detachably fixed, in particular by means of hook-and-loop tapes 19, on the inner wing 14 of the upper profile 9. The lower part of the translucent fabric 15, which connects its front panel 16 at its rear panel 17, passes under the lower plate 10 of the frame.
Sous l'âme 12 du profilé supérieur 9 sont fixés des moyens d'éclairage, ici constitués par plusieurs tubes fluorescents 20. Facultativement, d'autres tubes fluorescents 21, complétant l'éclairage du lambrequin 8, sont portés par la plaque de renfort inférieure 10 (voir le tracé en traits mixtes de la figure 3) .Under the core 12 of the upper profile 9 are fixed lighting means, here constituted by several fluorescent tubes 20. Optionally, other fluorescent tubes 21, supplementing the lighting of the lambrequin 8, are carried by the lower reinforcement plate 10 (see the dashed line in Figure 3).
L'ensemble du lambrequin lumineux 8, ainsi constitué, est suspendu sous la barre de charge 6 de la toile 3 du store à rouleau 1 par l'intermédiaire d'un profilé d'attache 22, en forme de baguette plate, mais présentant des bourrelets continus, respectivement 23 et 24, sur ses deux bords longitudinaux. L'un des bourrelets 23 est introduit dans une gorge longitudinale de la barre de charge 6. L'autre bourrelet 24 est introduit dans une autre gorge longitudinale, ménagée sur la face supérieure de l'âme 12 du profilé supérieur 9 de l'ossature du lambrequin 8.The assembly of the luminous lambrequin 8, thus formed, is suspended under the load bar 6 of the fabric 3 of the roller blind 1 by means of an attachment profile 22, in the form of a flat rod, but having continuous beads, respectively 23 and 24, on its two longitudinal edges. One of the beads 23 is introduced into a longitudinal groove of the load bar 6. The other bead 24 is introduced into a another longitudinal groove formed on the upper face of the core 12 of the upper section 9 of the lambrequin frame 8.
Les moyens d'éclairage 20 et/ou 21 permettent d'éclairer, par l'intérieur, les deux panneaux de toile 16 et 17, tendus entre la base et le sommet du lambrequin 8. En particulier, l'éclairage du panneau de toile avant 16 permet de faire ressortir des inscriptions 25, telles qu'une enseigne, portées par ce panneau de toile 16. Il est à noter que l'alimentation électrique des moyens d'éclairage 20 et/ou 21, incorporés au lambrequin 8, est aisément réalisable en faisant passer les conducteurs électriques dans ou sur l'un des bras de tension 7 du store 1. Les rubans autoagrippants 18 et 19 permettent, en cas de besoin, d'accéder à l'intérieur du lambrequin 8 pour procéder au remplacement d'un tube fluorescent 20 ou 21 défectueux, voire même de remplacer toute la toile 15, si celle-ci est usée ou détériorée, ou encore en cas de changement d'enseigne. La figure 4, sur laquelle les éléments correspondant à ceux décrits précédemment sont désignés par les mêmes repères numériques, représentent une variante dans laquelle la toile 15 du lambrequin 8 est conformée non plus en "U", mais en "V", la plaque inférieure de l'ossature étant ici remplacée par une barre horizontale inférieure 26, plus étroite, sous laquelle passe la toile 15. La barre 26 peut toujours supporter des tubes fluorescents 21. La figure 4 indique aussi d'autres moyens de fixation démontable des deux panneaux de toile 16 et 17 du profilé supérieur 9, ces moyens comprenant ici des rainures longitudinales ménagées dans lesdites ailes 13 et 14, et recevant les bords supérieurs, pourvus de bourrelets respectifs 27 et 28, des deux panneaux de toile 16 et 17. Bien entendu, ces derniers moyens sont aussi applicables au cas d'une toile 15 pliée en "U". La liaison entre le lambrequin lumineux 8 de la figure 4 et la barre de charge 6 est encore réalisée par l'intermédiaire d'un profilé d'attache 22, similaire à celui de la figure 3. Dans la mesure où la barre de charge 6 comporte habituellement une gorge longitudinale pour la suspension d'un lambrequin, on comprend que le lambrequin lumineux 8, objet de l'invention, peut être aisément monté sur un store 1 préexistant.The lighting means 20 and / or 21 make it possible to light, from the inside, the two canvas panels 16 and 17, stretched between the base and the top of the lambrequin 8. In particular, the lighting of the canvas panel before 16 makes it possible to bring out inscriptions 25, such as a sign, carried by this canvas panel 16. It should be noted that the electrical supply of the lighting means 20 and / or 21, incorporated in the lambrequin 8, is easily achievable by passing the electrical conductors in or on one of the tension arms 7 of the blind 1. The hook-and-loop tapes 18 and 19 allow, if necessary, access to the interior of the lambrequin 8 for replacement of a defective fluorescent tube 20 or 21, or even to replace the entire fabric 15, if it is worn or deteriorated, or even in the event of a change of sign. Figure 4, in which the elements corresponding to those described above are designated by the same reference numerals, represent a variant in which the fabric 15 of the lambrequin 8 is no longer shaped as "U", but in "V", the lower plate the frame being here replaced by a lower horizontal bar 26, narrower, under which passes the fabric 15. The bar 26 can still support fluorescent tubes 21. Figure 4 also indicates other means of removable fixing of the two panels of canvas 16 and 17 of the upper profile 9, these means here comprising longitudinal grooves formed in said wings 13 and 14, and receiving the upper edges, provided with respective beads 27 and 28, of the two canvas panels 16 and 17. Of course , the latter means are also applicable in the case of a fabric 15 folded in a "U" shape. The connection between the luminous lambrequin 8 of FIG. 4 and the load bar 6 is also carried out by means of an attachment profile 22, similar to that of FIG. 3. Insofar as the load bar 6 usually comprises a longitudinal groove for the suspension of a lambrequin, it is understood that the luminous lambrequin 8, object of the invention, can be easily mounted on a pre-existing blind 1.
Comme il va de soi, l'invention ne se limite pas aux seules formes d'exécution de ce lambrequin lumineux pour store à rouleau qui ont été décrites ci-dessus, à titre d'exemples ; elle en embrasse, au contraire, toutes les variantes de réalisation et d'application respectant le même principe. En particulier, l'on ne s'éloignerait pas de 1 •esprit de 1 ' invention :It goes without saying that the invention is not limited to the sole embodiments of this luminous lambrequin for roller blinds which have been described above, by way of examples; on the contrary, it embraces all of the variant embodiments and applications respecting the same principle. In particular, one would not stray from the spirit of the invention:
- par toutes modifications de détail de la forme de l'ossature du lambrequin, ou de la matière constitutive (bois, aluminium, matière plastique...) de cette ossature : - pa toutes dispositions (supérieures et/ou inférieures) des moyens d'éclairage, qui eux-mêmes peuvent être de tous types : tubes fluorescents tels que décrits, ou lampes ordinaires ;- by any modification of detail of the shape of the lambrequin frame, or of the constituent material (wood, aluminum, plastic ...) of this frame: - pa all provisions (upper and / or lower) of the means d 'lighting, which themselves can be of all types: fluorescent tubes as described, or ordinary lamps;
- par le recours à tous moyens de fixation amovible de la toile translucide de l'ossature, un système de boutons pouvant notamment être envisagé ;- By the use of any means of removable fixing of the translucent fabric of the frame, a system of buttons which can in particular be envisaged;
- par la réalisation de la toile translucide en une seule pièce, ou en plusieurs pièces réunies les unes aux autres ; - par la réalisation des moyens d'attache sous toute forme, par exemple sous la forme de charnières reliant le lambrequin lumineux à la barre de charge, ces moyens d'attache pouvant participer à l'alimentation électrique du lambrequin ; - par l'application à l'éclairage de tous types d'inscriptions, publicités ou autres éléments d'information ou de décor, pouvant être portés non seulement par le panneau de toile extérieur, mais aussi par le panneau de toile intérieur du lambrequin. - by making the translucent fabric in one piece, or in several pieces joined together; - By producing attachment means in any form, for example in the form of hinges connecting the luminous lambrequin to the load bar, these attachment means being able to participate in the electrical supply of the lambrequin; - by applying to lighting all types of inscriptions, advertisements or other elements information or decor, which can be carried not only by the outer canvas panel, but also by the inner canvas panel of the lambrequin.
