Description

L'invention a pour objet un système pour la fermeture isolante d'une baie de bâtiment.The invention relates to a system for the insulating closure of a building bay.

Quel que soit leur type, les bâtiments comportent des baies dont la fermeture est faite au moyen de portes, de portes-fenêtres, ou de fenêtres. Dans les deux derniers cas, des vitrages sont portés par une ossature qui est montée mobile dans un cadre dormant placé dans la baie. Ces vitrages constituent un moyen d'obturation, tout en permettant le passage de la lumière solaire ; mais qu'ils soient simples, doubles ou même triples, ils permettent simultanément le passage des rayons calorifiques, car ils ne constituent ni une barrière s'opposant pendant la saison chaude au passage des rayons solaires dans le local, ni une barrière s'opposant pendant la saison froi- - de au passage des calories de l'intérieur à l'extérieur de ce local. Alors que, dans un souci d'économie d'énergie, des moyens efficaces d'isolation sont couramment mis à profit dans les bâtiments, les portes-fenêtres et les fenêtres constituent ainsi toujours des zones de déperdition calorifique pendant la saison froide et des zones d'apport inutile et nuisible de calories pendant la saison chaude. Les habitudes, le style de vie et l'esthétique amènent au contraire à augmenter la surface des baies d'un bâtiment par rapport à celle de ses murs.Whatever their type, the buildings have openings which are closed by doors, patio doors, or windows. In the latter two cases, glazing is carried by a frame which is mounted mobile in a sleeping frame placed in the bay. These glazings constitute a means of shutter, while allowing the passage of sunlight; but whether they are single, double or even triple, they simultaneously allow the passage of heat rays, because they constitute neither a barrier opposing during the hot season the passage of solar rays in the room, nor a barrier opposing during the cold season - due to the passage of calories from the inside to the outside of this room. While, for the sake of energy saving, efficient means of insulation are commonly used in buildings, patio doors and windows thus always constitute zones of heat loss during the cold season and zones unnecessary and harmful intake of calories during the hot season. Habits, lifestyle and aesthetics, on the contrary, lead to an increase in the area of a building's bays compared to that of its walls.

Qu'il s'agisse de fenêtres ou de portes-fenêtres, l'élément de fermeture d'une baie est, en outre, souvent associé à un volet plus ou moins opaque qui est placé à l'extérieur par rapport à cet élément et qui, par sa fermeture, permet effectivement d'occulter le vitrage et ainsi d'empêcher soit la pénétration des rayons solaires dans le local, soit la perte de calories par passage à l'extérieur. La manoeuvre d'un volet extérieur nécessite toutefois, pour son ouverture et pour sa fermeture, l'ouverture de la porte-fenêtre ou de la fenêtre, ce qui conduit immanquablement à une mise en communication du local avec l'extérieur, et donc à une perte de calories pendant la saison froide et à une entrée de chaleur pendant la saison chaude.Whether windows or patio doors, the closing element of a bay is also often associated with a more or less opaque shutter which is placed outside relative to this element and which, by closing, effectively obscures the glazing and thus prevent either the penetration of sunlight into the room, or the loss of calories by going outside. The operation of an exterior shutter requires, however, for its opening and for its closing, the opening of the French window or of the window, which inevitably leads to a communication of the room with outside, and therefore a loss of calories during the cold season and heat input during the hot season.

Il est certes aussi connu d'utiliser soit des stores extérieurs dont la manoeuvre ne nécessite pas l'ouverture d'une fenêtre, soit des volets intérieurs rabattables contre la face intérieure d'une porte-fenêtre ou d'une fenêtre ; mais ni ces stores, ni ces volets intérieurs ne peuvent être considérés comme des accessoires de fermeture réalisant une bonne isolation.It is certainly also known to use either external blinds whose operation does not require the opening of a window, or internal shutters which can be folded against the internal face of a French window or window; but neither these blinds nor these interior shutters can be considered as closing accessories providing good insulation.

Par le US-A 4.363.351 est cependant connu un volet conçu pour réaliser une isolation thermique, car le volet est situé à distance par rapport à la fenêtre et délimite avec elle un matelas d'air. Aucun moyen n'est toutefois prévu pour contrôler la température de ce matelas et, à volonté, la dissiper plus ou moins dans le local en période froide, et empêcher, en période chaude, une élévation nuisible de sa température.From US-A 4,363,351, however, a shutter designed to achieve thermal insulation is known, since the shutter is located at a distance from the window and delimits with it an air mattress. No means is however provided to control the temperature of this mattress and, at will, dissipate it more or less in the room in cold periods, and prevent, in hot periods, a harmful rise in its temperature.

Partant de cet état de la technique, l'invention a pour objet un système de fermeture, comportant un volet pliant et isolant qui est associé à l'élément vitré de fermeture et délimite àvec lui un espace vide ; et l'originalité essentielle de ce système réside dans le fait qu'au volet pliant est associé un agencement lui permettant de réfléchir les rayons solaires porteurs de calories.Starting from this state of the art, the invention relates to a closing system, comprising a folding and insulating flap which is associated with the glazed closing element and delimits with it an empty space; and the essential originality of this system lies in the fact that the folding shutter is associated with an arrangement allowing it to reflect the solar rays carrying calories.

Le système associé au volet peut d'ailleurs être agencé pour permettre, à volonté, de réfléchir ou, au contraire, d'absorber les rayons solaires, ce qui permet d'utiliser au mieux les propriétés isolantes de l'ensemble aussi bien en période froide qu'en période chaude.The system associated with the shutter can also be arranged to allow, at will, to reflect or, on the contrary, to absorb the sun's rays, which makes it possible to make the best use of the insulating properties of the assembly as well in period cold than in hot periods.

L'invention sera bien comprise d'ailleurs et ses avantages ainsi que d'autres caractéristiques ressortiront de la description qui suit, en référence au dessin schématique annexé représentant, à titre d'exemple non limitatif, une forme d'exécution de ce système pour la fermeture isolante d'une baie de bâtiment, dans le cas d'une porte-fenêtre :

  • Figures 1, 2 et 3 sont des vues en perspective montrant respectivement en position d'ouverture, de fermeture et d'entr'ouverture le volet qui constitue l'élément essentiel de ce système ;
  • Figures 4, 5 et 6 sont des vues en coupe horizontale de ce volet respectivement en position de fermeture, en position d'ouverture et en position d'entr'ouverture ;
  • Figures 7 et 8 sont des vues en coupe verticale de l'un des panneaux du volet dans le cas de deux formes d'exécution de l'agencement associé à sa face intérieure ;
  • Figure 9 est une vue en coupe verticale longitudinale de la traverse du cadre dormant dans lequel est monté le volet.
The invention will be well understood moreover and its advantages as well as other characteristics will emerge from the description which follows, with reference to the appended schematic drawing representing, by way of nonlimiting example, an embodiment of this system for the insulating closure of a building opening, in the case of a French window:
  • Figures 1, 2 and 3 are perspective views showing respectively in the open, closed and half-open position the flap which constitutes the essential element of this system;
  • Figures 4, 5 and 6 are views in horizontal section of this flap respectively in the closed position, in the open position and in the open position;
  • Figures 7 and 8 are vertical sectional views of one of the shutter panels in the case of two embodiments of the arrangement associated with its inner face;
  • Figure 9 is a longitudinal vertical sectional view of the cross member of the fixed frame in which the flap is mounted.

Dans ce dessin, (1) désigne le mur d'un bâtiment quelconque dans lequel est aménagée une baie (2) fermée par une porte-fenêtre (3).In this drawing, (1) designates the wall of any building in which is fitted a bay (2) closed by a French window (3).

Sur la face intérieure du mur (2), un cadre dormant (4) est fixé à la périphérie de la baie (2). Ce cadre est constitué de deux montants (5) et d'une traverse supérieure (6). Par ses montants (5), ce cadre (4) sert à la fixation, grâce à des paumelles (7) d'un volet désigné de façon générale par (8).On the inside of the wall (2), a sleeping frame (4) is fixed to the periphery of the opening (2). This frame consists of two uprights (5) and an upper crosspiece (6). By its uprights (5), this frame (4) is used for fixing, thanks to hinges (7) of a flap generally designated by (8).

Ce volet (8) est constitué par deux vantaux formés chacun de deux panneaux respectivement (9) et (10). Le panneau (9) est fixé de façon articulée sur le cadre dormant (4) grâce aux paumelles (7) ; et le panneau (10) est articulé au panneau (9) par des charnières à ressort (12) ; le vantail est en outre relié de façon articulée à la traverse supérieure (6) du cadre dormant (4) au moyen d'un compas (13).This flap (8) is constituted by two leaves each formed by two panels respectively (9) and (10). The panel (9) is hingedly attached to the sleeping frame (4) using the hinges (7); and the panel (10) is articulated to the panel (9) by spring hinges (12); the leaf is also hingedly connected to the upper crossmember (6) of the frame (4) by means of a compass (13).

Grâce à cet agencement, les deux panneaux (9, 10) de chaque vantail du volet (8) peuvent être ramenés soit en position d'ouverture totale (figures 1 à 5), soit en position de fermeture totale (figures 2 et 3), soit encore dans une quelconque position d'entr'ouverture telle que celle représentée aux figures 3 et 6.Thanks to this arrangement, the two panels (9, 10) of each leaf of the shutter (8) can be brought back either to the fully open position (Figures 1 to 5), or to the fully closed position (Figures 2 and 3). , or even in any open position such as that shown in Figures 3 and 6.

Lorsque le volet (8) est ouvert, il dégage intérieurement la totalité de la baie (2), et les deux panneaux (9,10) de chaque vantail sont repliés l'un sur l'autre et sur la face intérieure du mur (1).When the flap (8) is open, it internally releases the entire opening (2), and the two panels (9,10) of each leaf are folded over one another and on the inside of the wall ( 1).

Lorsque par contre le volet (8) est fermé, les deux panneaux (9,10) de chaque vantail sont dépliés dans le prolongement l'un de l'autre et sont situés à une distance relativement importante de la porte-fenêtre (3). Cette distance est fonction de la profondeur du cadre dormant (4), de l'épaisseur du mur (1) et de la position de la porte-fenêtre (3) à l'intérieur de la baie (2). La distance entre le volet (8) en position de fermeture et la porte-fenêtre (3) est en tout cas supérieure à dix centimètres. Cette distance permet ainsi de réserver un épais matelas d'air à l'intérieur de la baie (2) entre la porte-fenêtre (3) et le volet (8). Pendant la saison froide, ce matelas d'air constitue un excellent moyen d'isolation entre l'atmosphère extérieure et l'intérieur du local ; et par temps de soleil, il est possible d'augmenter la température de ce matelas d'air si des moyens ont été prévus pour que les rayons solaires venant frapper le volet après avoir traversé le vitrage de la porte-fenêtre (3) soient, non pas réfléchis à l'extérieur, mais au contraire absorbés dans l'espace délimité par la porte-fenêtre (3) et par le volet (8).When, on the other hand, the shutter (8) is closed, the two panels (9, 10) of each leaf are unfolded in the extension of one another and are located at a relatively large distance from the French window (3) . This distance is a function of the depth of the frame (4), the thickness of the wall (1) and the position of the French window (3) inside the opening (2). The distance between the shutter (8) in the closed position and the French window (3) is in any case greater than ten centimeters. This distance thus makes it possible to reserve a thick air mattress inside the opening (2) between the French window (3) and the shutter (8). During the cold season, this air mattress is an excellent means of insulation between the outside atmosphere and the interior of the room; and in sunny weather, it is possible to increase the temperature of this air mattress if means have been provided so that the sun's rays coming to strike the shutter after passing through the glazing of the French window (3) are, not reflected on the outside, but on the contrary absorbed in the space delimited by the French window (3) and by the shutter (8).

Ce but peut être atteint en disposant un revêtement absorbant sur la face intérieure des panneaux constituant les deux vantaux du volet. Il devient ainsi possible d'obtenir, grâce aux rayons solaires, un matelas d'air chaud dans l'espace délimité par la porte-fenêtre (3) et par le volet (8). Des moyens peuvent alors être prévus pour permettre à l'air chaud ainsi accumulé dans cet espace de circuler et de se diriger vers le local. Pour cela, des orifices (14) sont percés dans la traverse supérieure (6) du cadre dormant (4) ; et au-dessus de cette traverse (6) est monté coulissant un volet longitudinal et horizontal (15) comportant des orifices (16) dont le nombre, les dimensions et la disposition correspondent à ceux des orifices (14) de la traverse (6). Ce volet (15) peut occuper deux positions : l'une dans laquelle les orifices (14, 16) sont alignés, et l'autre dans laquelle ils sont désalignés. La première position permet une circulation d'air entre le local et l'espace délimité par la porte-fenêtre (3) et le volet (8) ; l'autre position isole au contraire le local et cet espace. Des moyens sont prévus pour permettre au volet (15) de passer de l'une à l'autre de ces deux positions. Ces moyens peuvent consister en un système élastique (17) et un cordon de tirage (18) muni de moyens d'accrochage.This object can be achieved by placing an absorbent coating on the inside of the panels constituting the two leaves of the shutter. It thus becomes possible to obtain, thanks to the sun's rays, a mattress of hot air in the space delimited by the French window (3) and by the shutter (8). Means can then be provided to allow the hot air thus accumulated in this space to circulate and to go towards the room. For this, holes (14) are drilled in the upper crosspiece (6) of the frame (4); and above this crosspiece (6) is slidably mounted a longitudinal and horizontal flap (15) comprising orifices (16) the number, dimensions and arrangement correspond to those of the orifices (14) of the crosspiece (6). This flap (15) can occupy two positions: one in which the orifices (14, 16) are aligned, and the other in which they are misaligned. The first position allows air circulation between the room and the space delimited by the French window (3) and the shutter (8); the other position, on the contrary, isolates the local and this space. Means are provided to allow the flap (15) to pass from one to the other of these two positions. These means may consist of an elastic system (17) and a pulling cord (18) provided with attachment means.

Comme il a été indiqué plus haut, la face intérieure des deux panneaux (9, 10) des vantaux du volet (8) est avantageusement munie d'un revêtement absorbant pour éviter le réfléchissement des rayons solaires à l'extérieur. Dans certains cas et pendant la saison chaude, il peut cependant être avantageux de renvoyer les rayons solaires vers l'extérieur pour éviter une accumulation de chaleur entre la porte-fenêtre (3) et le volet (8). Il est alors préférable d'agencer de manière réfléchissante la face intérieure des panneaux (9, 10) des vantaux du volet (8) et de munir cette face intérieure d'un rideau amovible.As indicated above, the inner face of the two panels (9, 10) of the leaves of the shutter (8) is advantageously provided with an absorbent coating to avoid the reflection of solar rays outside. In certain cases and during the hot season, it can however be advantageous to return the solar rays towards outside to avoid an accumulation of heat between the French window (3) and the shutter (8). It is therefore preferable to arrange the inner face of the panels (9, 10) of the leaves of the shutter (8) in a reflective manner and to provide this inner face with a removable curtain.

Dans le cas de la forme d'exécution représentée à la figure 7, chaque panneau (9, 10) des vantaux du volet comporte, dans la partie supérieure de sa face intérieure, un système enrouleur (19) destiné à un rideau (20) dont l'extrémité libre comporte des moyens permettant de le fixer à un système d'accrochage (21) prévu dans la zone inférieure du volet (8). La face extérieure de ce rideau (20) est de couleur sombre afin d'être absorbante pour les rayons solaires. Dans ces conditions, lorsque le rideau est déroulé, les rayons solaires sont absorbés dans i l'espace délimité par la porte-fenêtre (3) et par le volet (8). Par contre, lorsque le rideau (20) est enroulé sur le système enrouleur (19), la face intérieure réfléchissante du volet renvoie les rayons solaires à l'extérieur.In the case of the embodiment represented in FIG. 7, each panel (9, 10) of the leaves of the shutter comprises, in the upper part of its inner face, a roller system (19) intended for a curtain (20) the free end of which comprises means making it possible to fix it to a fastening system (21) provided in the lower zone of the flap (8). The outer face of this curtain (2 0 ) is dark in color to be absorbent for the sun's rays. Under these conditions, when the curtain is unrolled, the sun's rays are absorbed in the space delimited by the French window (3) and by the shutter (8). On the other hand, when the curtain (20) is rolled up on the winding system (19), the reflective inner face of the shutter returns the sun's rays to the outside.

Dans le cas de la variante d'exécution représentée à la figure 8, chaque panneau du volet (8) comporte un rideau intérieur (22) dont les deux faces sont l'une réfléchissante et l'autre absorbante ; et le rideau est fixé sur le panneau du volet (8) de façon telle qu'à volonté il présente à l'extérieur sa face réfléchissante ou sa face absorbante. Suivant la saison : chaude ou froide, le rideau (22) est donc utilisé dans une position ou dans l'autre.In the case of the alternative embodiment shown in FIG. 8, each panel of the shutter (8) comprises an interior curtain (22), the two faces of which are one reflecting and the other absorbing; and the curtain is fixed to the panel of the shutter (8) so that at will it presents on the outside its reflecting face or its absorbing face. Depending on the season: hot or cold, the curtain (22) is therefore used in one position or the other.

Il est important de remarquer que le volet (8) peut ausse être utilisé, non seulement en position d'ouverture totale ou en position de fermeture totale, mais aussi dans l'une ou l'autre d'une pluralité de positions d'entr'ouverture . Les figures 3 et 6 représentent une telle position qui a pour effet de permettre, en bénéficiant de l'effet de serre dû à la présence combinée du vitrage et du volet isolant, d'obtenir une circulation d'air grâce à la présence des interstices et ouvertures (23) qui se trouvent réservés en haut et en bas du volet (8), lorsqu'il n'est pas entièrement fermé. Il en résulte que les rayons solaires traversant le vitrage, mais arrêtés par le volet, provoquent une augmentation de la température du matelas d'air situé entre le vitrage et le volet, et qu'ainsi cet air chaud animé d'un mouvement ascensionnel naturel circule en direction du local.It is important to note that the flap (8) can also be used, not only in the fully open position or in the fully closed position, but also in one or other of a plurality of entry positions. 'opening . Figures 3 and 6 show such a position which has the effect of allowing, benefiting from the greenhouse effect due to the combined presence of the glazing and the insulating flap, to obtain air circulation thanks to the presence of the interstices and openings (23) which are reserved at the top and bottom of the flap (8), when it is not fully closed. As a result, the solar rays passing through the glazing, but stopped by the shutter, cause an increase in the temperature of the air mattress located between the glazing and the shutter, and thus this hot air animated by a natural upward movement. circulates towards the room.

Comme il va de soi et comme il ressort de ce qui a été indiqué ci-dessus, l'invention ne se limite pas aux seules formes d'exécution de ce système pour la fermeture d'une baie de bâtiment qui ont été ci-dessus indiquées à titre d'exemples ; elle en embrasse au contraire toutes les variantes de réalisation et elle étend bien entendu son champ d'application à la fermeture de tous genres de baies, c'est-à-dire aussi bien de fenêtres que de portes-fenêtres, le volet et son cadre pouvant faire partie intégrante d'un ensemble comprenant la porte-fenêtre ou la fenêtre, ainsi qu'éventuellement un volet ou un autre moyen d'occultation extérieure. Il est enfin possible d'associer au volet des moyens permettant sa manoeuvre automatique en fonction des différences de température pouvant exister entre l'extérieur, l'intérieur et le matelas intermédiaire et en fonction de l'ensoleillement et de l'heure.As is obvious and as appears from what has been indicated above, the invention is not limited to the sole embodiments of this system for closing a building bay which have been above shown as examples; on the contrary, it embraces all the variant embodiments thereof and it of course extends its field of application to the closing of all kinds of windows, that is to say both windows and French windows, the shutter and its frame which may form an integral part of an assembly comprising the French window or the window, as well as possibly a shutter or a other means of external concealment. It is finally possible to associate with the shutter means allowing its automatic operation as a function of the temperature differences which may exist between the exterior, the interior and the intermediate mattress and as a function of the sunshine and the time.
