Abstract

L'invention concerne un système de fermeture (10) comprenant un pluralité de panneaux de fermeture (17) adaptés pour passer d'une position déployée à une position rentrée et inversement. Tous les panneaux sont disposés sur une paire de rails de support (20) placés sur des côtés opposés (12, 14) d'une ouverture d'immeuble. L'actionneur (18), en position déployée, présente des côtés supérieur et inférieur en about (30, 32) et une surface latérale (34) parallèle qui traverse l'ouverture d'immeuble. Les actionneurs (18), en position rentrée, présentent des surfaces latérales interne et externe en about (30, 32) dans les côtés supérieurs parallèles (30) et les côtés inférieurs parallèles (32). Les côtés supérieur et inférieur (30, 32) gardent leur orientation supérieure et inférieure lorsque leurs panneaux de fermeture (17) passent de la position déployée à la position rentrée et inversement.
