Abstract

L'invention concerne un système de porte basculante à deux volets qui comprend un cadre, une porte basculante à deux volets et un premier vérin hydraulique. La porte basculante à deux volets comprend un battant de porte supérieur et un battant de porte inférieur. Le battant de porte supérieur est monté de manière pivotante sur le cadre. Le battant de porte inférieur est monté de manière pivotante sur le battant de porte supérieur. Le premier vérin hydraulique a une première extrémité de vérin et une deuxième extrémité de vérin. La première extrémité de vérin est fixée de manière fonctionnelle au cadre. La deuxième extrémité de vérin est fixée de manière fonctionnelle au battant de porte supérieur. Le premier vérin hydraulique est en mesure de déplacer la porte basculante à deux volets entre une configuration fermée et une configuration ouverte. Au moins l'un parmi le cadre et le battant de porte supérieur comporte une fente formée dans celui-ci. Lorsque la porte basculante à deux volets est dans la configuration fermée, le premier vérin hydraulique est sensiblement en retrait dans la fente.
