Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for maintaining the tension of a sun protection fabric, of the kind which is deployed horizontally or with a slight inclination above a structure such as veranda, pergola, greenhouse or other similar construction. , with a framework on which a sun protection system can be mounted.
  • This invention applies, more particularly, to a sun protection fabric, one end of which is linked to a rotating winding member, preferably motorized, and the opposite end of which is linked to a movable load bar, comprising means in translational guidance.
  • Such a sun protection system thus has at least one fabric that can be deployed or rolled up, the load bar moving away from the winding member as the canvas is deployed, the useful part of which extends between the winding member and this load bar. Because of their large size and their horizontal or slightly inclined position, such fabrics offer a strong wind resistance, and must therefore be strongly stretched.
  • tensioning devices are currently used, which are all of a fairly similar principle: the fabric is generally stretched by means of a tension or torsion spring, and sometimes by a geared motor, which exerts an action on the load bar.
  • the force of the spring or the gearmotor is transmitted to the load bar by means of at least one cable, a textile strap or even a metal strip, so as to pull the load bar in the direction of its distance from the winding member.
  • a particular known solution is represented by French patent N ° 85 04 059/2 578 901 filed on March 12, 1985 in the name of ETABLISSEMENTS LAUZIER; this document describes a tensioning device, comprising at least one cable with one strand attached to the load bar of the fabric and with another strand linked to winding means, driven in synchronism with the winding means of the canvas the cable passes here on a deflection pulley which is urged by spring means in the direction of the tensioning of this cable, therefore of the canvas.
  • Each cable is advantageously wound on a frustoconical drum, forming successive turns of variable diameter; allowing an exact compensation of the length of the fabric.
  • the present invention aims to avoid all these drawbacks, by providing a device for maintaining tension in a new and simple design, which entirely eliminates the traction systems such as cables or straps, therefore also the return pulleys and the guide means. necessities by these pulleys, hence a simplification of construction and installation, while ensuring reliable and suitable operation providing, in particular, a substantially constant tension force.
  • the subject of the invention is a device for maintaining the tension of a sun protection shade, in particular for a veranda or pergola, of the type specified in the introduction, in which the tensioning means comprise at least two extendable arms with springs, each mounted in an articulated manner between a fixed point close to the fabric winding member and a movable point linked to the load bar, so that these extendable arms, urged by their springs in the direction of their elongation, exert on the load bar a push tending to move it away from the winding member of the fabric.
  • the invention proposes the replacement of current traction systems on the load bar by a pushing device, with extendable arms, bearing on fixed points which may be points on the chassis supporting the winding member of the canvas, these arms directly exerting their action on the load bar.
  • the tension-maintaining device comprises at least two extensible spring arms with an overall configuration in "X", the two arms crossing and being articulated with one another in their central parts , and each being articulated, at one end, at a fixed point close to the fabric winding member and, at the other end, at a mobile point linked to the load bar.
  • Each extensible arm here preferably comprises a first telescopic tension element articulated at the fixed point and connected, by an intermediate element articulated on the corresponding element of the other extensible arm, to a second telescopic tension element, articulated at the point mobile linked to the load bar.
  • This assembly is compact and self-supporting, and does not require any special support or guide; it is simply mounted in an articulated manner, for example by means of ball joints, between a fixed chassis element on the one hand and the load bar on the other hand, and he stays entirely independent of the means of guiding the load bar and the structure of the veranda, which can be produced for example according to French patent application N ° 59,01844 filed on February 13, 1989 in the name of SA FRANCIAFLEX.
  • the tension-maintaining device comprises at least two extensible spring arms with an overall "V" configuration, each of the two arms being articulated, at one end, at a point fixed near the fabric winding member and, at the other end, at a mobile point linked to the load bar.
  • the two extendable arms which can each comprise here a single telescopic tension element, are for example articulated at the same fixed point, and move away from each other from this fixed point.
  • Two or more pairs of arms that can be extended in "X" or "V” shape can be combined, in the case of very large fabrics.
  • the or each telescopic tensioning element of an extendable arm comprises a central rod linked to a first end-piece provided at one end of the element, a tube linked to a second end-piece located at the opposite end of the element, and a tubular cover surrounding the central rod, linked to the first end piece and sliding on the tube linked to the second end piece, a helical spring being mounted, with its ends pressed against the two end pieces, around the central rod and under the tube cited above.
  • the central metal rod is coated on the outside with a protective plastic sheath, while the tube, also metallic, has a protective internal coating in plastic, thus the coils of the spring come into contact with plastic parts, which significantly reduce friction and noise.
  • the tension maintenance device is applied to a sun protection fabric 1 deploying horizontally, or with a slight inclination either upwards or downwards, above a structure such as veranda, the framework of which is indicated in 2.
  • the fabric 1 has a rear edge linked to a winding tube 3, mounted rotating around a horizontal axis 4 and coupled to an electric drive motor, not shown , which can be housed inside the tube 3.
  • the front edge of the fabric 1 is moored to a movable load bar 5, which is guided by means of pads 6 along guide rails 7 fixed to the frame of the veranda 2, these rails can be elements such as rafters belonging to the frame itself.
  • the fabric 1 tensioning device comprises, in the embodiment according to FIGS. 1 and 2, two extensible arms 8 and 9 with an overall configuration in "M", that is to say two arms crossing in their central parts, where they are articulated to each other along an axis 10.
  • Each arm 8 or 9 is mounted between a fixed frame element 11, supporting the winding tube 3, and the bar 5.
  • the first arm 8 comprises a posterior telescopic tensioning element 12, articulated at 13 to the left part of the chassis element 11 and connected, via a central part 14, to an anterior telescopic tensioning element 15 , articulated at 16 on the right side of the load bar 5;
  • the second arm 9 comprises a posterior telescopic tensioning element 17, articulated at 18 to the right part of the chassis element 11 and connected, by means of a central part 19, to an anterior telescopic tensioning element 20 , articulated at 21 on the left side of the load bar 5.
  • Each telescopic tension element 12,15,17,20 contains a spring which tends to elongate this element, therefore also to lengthen the corresponding extensible arm 8 or 9, the detailed configuration of the tension elements being described below.
  • FIG. 3 shows a first variant of the tension maintenance device, with two extendable arms 22 and 23 having an overall configuration in "V", each arm 22 or 23 being able here to comprise a single telescopic tensioning element with spring.
  • the posterior ends of the two arms 22 and 23 are linked by the same articulation 24 to the central part of the fixed frame element 11, and separate from one another from the articulation 24 the first arm 22 has its front end articulated at 25 to the left part of the load bar 5; while the second arm 23 has its anterior end articulated at 26 to the right part of the load bar 5.
  • the tension-maintaining device may comprise four extendable arms, that is to say two pairs of arms in "V" shape with a first pair of arms 22,23 as described below. above, and a second pair of arms 27, 28 identical to the previous one.
  • the two extensible arms 22 and 23 retain an overall configuration in "V". but they are articulated at two distinct points, respectively 29 and 30, on the central part of the fixed chassis element 11.
  • Figure 6 shows the detail of a spring tension element, which can be one of the elements 12,15,17,20 used in the construction of the extensible arms 8 and 9 of the first embodiment, or even a element of the arms in "V", which have just been described in variants.
  • the telescopic element in question comprises, at one end, a first end piece 31 to which is linked a central metal rod 32, for example of steel, extending along the axis 33 of the element.
  • this element comprises a second end piece 34, to which is linked a metal tube 35, for example made of aluminum, which coaxially surrounds the rod 32 over a certain length, varying according to the degree of extension of the telescopic element.
  • a helical spring 36 is mounted and compressed in this element, the spring 36 being pressed by its ends against the two end pieces 31 and 34.
  • This spring 36 surrounds the central rod 32 and is, itself, surrounded by the tube 35.
  • a sheath protective plastic 37 covering the rod 32, and by a protective inner coating 35 in plastic of the tube 35.
  • a tubular cover 39m also made of plastic, is linked to the first end piece 31 and slides on the tube 35 linked to the second end piece 34.
  • the two end pieces 31 and 34 can be provided with threads, respectively 40 and 41, for mounting the articulation parts such as ball joints, or even for fixing the central parts 14 and 19. in the case of elements intended for the arms. in "X".
  • the extendable arms ensure a permanent thrust on the load bar 5, tending to move this bar away from the winding tube 3 and therefore ensuring the tensioning of the fabric 1.
  • These arms "follow" the movements of the load bar automatically, by modifying their length: - for the arms in "X” 8 and 9, FIG. 1 shows the deployed arms and FIG. 2 shows these folded arms: -
  • the trace in continuous lines indicates the deployed position, and the trace in broken lines corresponds to the folded position.
  • the tension holding device makes it possible to obtain a substantially constant tension of the fabric 1, in particular for positions of the load bar 5 comprised between a third and its entire stroke (at from the folded position).
  • the spring effect can be produced by at least one captive gas cylinder, constituting each arm or integrated into this arm; this spring effect can also result from at least one element subjected to a gas or liquid pressure supplied by an external source, such as a pump, providing a driving force for unwinding the fabric, the winding member for the canvas then being made resistant to this driving force thanks for example to a torsion spring.
