Description

Objet de l'inventionObject of the invention

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de fixation et de verrouillage destiné à un store extérieur ou à une banne de protection solaire.The present invention relates to a device fastening and locking device for an awning or a sunscreen.

Elle vise en particulier un dispositif qui permet de fixer et de verrouiller de façon tendue une toile, notamment dans une position pratiquement verticale mais également sous une autre inclinaison, pour protéger une partie vitrée du rayonnement solaire.In particular, it aims at a device which allows to fix and lock in a tense way a canvas, especially in a virtually vertical position but also under another inclination, to protect a glazed part of the solar radiation.

Arrière-plan technologiqueTechnological background

Des stores ou bannes du type précité comportent classiquement une toile fixée sur un rouleau monté généralement dans un caisson fixé sur un mur. La toile peut être déroulée ou enroulée sur le rouleau en fonction des besoins. La toile comporte à son extrémité libre une barre ou tringle, qui généralement vient s'accrocher ou se verrouiller dans sa position dépliée dans des dispositifs d'accrochage adéquats.Blinds or awnings of the aforementioned type conventionally comprise a fabric fixed on a roll usually mounted in a box attached to a wall. The canvas can be unrolled or rolled onto the roll in according to needs. The canvas has at its end free a bar or rod, which usually comes cling or lock in its unfolded position in adequate fastening devices.

Habituellement, ce type de store ou banne est équipé de deux guides latéraux dans lesquels peuvent coulisser les extrémités de la barre ou tringle fixée à la partie externe, c'est-à-dire la partie opposée au rouleau, de la toile. Usually, this type of awning or banne is equipped with two lateral guides in which can slide the ends of the bar or rod attached to the external part, that is to say the part opposite the roller, some cobweb.

Un ressort logé dans un caisson de dimensions suffisantes pour recevoir le rouleau et la toile est sollicité (tendu) lors du déroulement de la toile de manière à permettre un ré-enroulement de celle-ci sur le rouleau.A spring housed in a box of dimensions sufficient to receive the roll and the cloth is solicited (tense) during the course of the canvas of in order to allow a rewinding of the latter on the roller.

On constate cependant que sous l'action du vent, la toile à tendance à battre ou à faseyer.However, we note that under the action of wind, the canvas tends to beat or faseyer.

Une solution envisageable pour résoudre ce problème serait de tendre fortement la toile en accroissant la force du ressort servant à l'enroulement de la toile. Il existe cependant une limite mécanique aux possibilités de choix des ressorts, compte tenu en particulier de la longueur généralement importante de la toile et de la "course" du ressort entre les deux positions extrêmes (enroulée et totalement déroulée) de la toile.A possible solution to solve this problem would be to strongly stretch the canvas by increasing the force of the spring used to wind the fabric. he However, there is a mechanical limit to the possibilities of choice of springs, taking into account in particular the generally important length of the canvas and the "race" of the spring between the two extreme positions (rolled and fully unrolled) of the canvas.

De plus, un ressort très puissant devant servir à tendre la toile rend nécessaire l'exercice d'un effort trop important pour dérouler la toile.In addition, a very powerful spring in front of serve to stretch the canvas makes necessary the exercise of a too much effort to unroll the canvas.

Enfin, on observe que la toile, lorsqu'elle est trop tendue, s'enroule mal, en formant des plis en forme de vagues qui empêchent un enroulement régulier et serré.Finally, we observe that the canvas, when is too tight, wraps badly, forming folds in form of waves that prevent a regular winding and tight.

Etat de la techniqueState of the art

Le problème précité a déjà été au moins partiellement reconnu dans l'état de la technique, et des solutions ont été proposées.The problem mentioned above has already been partially recognized in the state of the art, and solutions have been proposed.

C'est ainsi que le document DE-195 36 359 A1 décrit un système dans lequel la barre ou tringle 14, lors de son mouvement vers sa position extrême, rencontre une butée 22 qui fait basculer un levier 20 soumis à l'action d'un ressort de pression 26 qui, après basculement du levier, maintient la barre ou tringle 14 en position bloquée et tendue. Thus, DE-195 36 359 A1 describes a system in which the bar or rod 14, when from his movement towards his extreme position, meets a stop 22 which tilts a lever 20 subjected to the action a pressure spring 26 which, after tilting of the lever, holds the bar or rod 14 in position blocked and tense.

Le principe de fonctionnement repose sur la différence du moment du couple exercé par la barre ou tringle 14 sur l'élément d'arrêt 22 et le moment de couple nécessaire au basculement du levier 20.The operating principle is based on difference in torque moment exerted by the bar or rod 14 on the stop element 22 and the torque moment necessary for the tilting of the lever 20.

Le bras de levier obtenu dans la position basculée est suffisant pour que le ressort de pression maintienne la toile en position tendue.The lever arm obtained in the position tilted is enough for the pressure spring keep the canvas taut.

Deux formes d'exécution sont représentées, dans lesquelles le ressort de pression exerce, dans le second cas, son effort en direction opposée à celle proposée selon la première version.Two embodiments are represented, in which the pressure spring exerts second case, his effort in the opposite direction to that proposed in the first version.

Ce dispositif présente d'abord l'inconvénient d'une absence de protection du ressort de pression et du mécanisme de mise sous tension. De plus, il peut se révéler relativement encombrant et en particulier très bruyant par suite du choc du levier 20 sur la barre ou tringle 14 lors du basculement du levier, c'est-à-dire lors de l'armement du système de verrouillage. Finalement, après verrouillage, la toile reste sous tension constante et le ressort de pression sert uniquement à maintenir la position verrouillée.This device has the disadvantage lack of protection of the pressure spring and the power-on mechanism. Moreover, it can be revealed relatively bulky and in particular very noisy by following the shock of the lever 20 on the bar or rod 14 when of the tilting of the lever, that is to say when arming locking system. Finally, after locking, the canvas remains under constant tension and the spring of pressure is only used to maintain the position locked.

Eléments caractéristiques de l'inventionCharacteristic elements of the invention

Les éléments caractéristiques de l'invention sont repris dans les revendications annexées.The characteristic elements of the invention are included in the appended claims.

Description d'une forme d'exécution préférée de l'inventionDescription of a preferred embodiment of the invention

Selon l'invention, un premier dispositif de verrouillage est disposé latéralement et extérieurement près d'un bord latéral de la toile. Un deuxième dispositif symétrique est prévu pour être disposé de l'autre côté, et les deux dispositifs sont donc perpendiculaires à la barre ou tringle (non représentée) de la toile (également non représentée).According to the invention, a first device locking is arranged laterally and externally near a side edge of the canvas. A second device symmetrical is intended to be arranged on the other side, and the two devices are therefore perpendicular to the bar or rod (not shown) of the canvas (also not shown).

Chacun de ces dispositifs est constitué par un boítier 2 comportant respectivement à chaque extrémité une première pièce de fixation 1 et une deuxième pièce de fixation 8. Le boítier 2 contient un ressort de pression 3 connu en soi, par exemple sous forme d'un corps de cylindre 31 fixé dans le boítier 2 à son extrémité supérieure de manière à pouvoir pivoter en 32, et comportant une tige 33 se terminant par une pièce de liaison 34 sur laquelle est montée une pièce de verrouillage 5.Each of these devices consists of a housing 2 respectively comprising at each end a first attachment piece 1 and a second piece of 8. The housing 2 contains a pressure spring 3 known per se, for example in the form of a cylinder body 31 fixed in the housing 2 at its upper end of able to pivot at 32, and having a rod 33 ending with a connecting piece 34 on which is mounted a locking piece 5.

Le boítier 2, à sa partie inférieure, comporte un passage rétréci ou puits 21.The housing 2, at its lower part, has a narrowed passage or well 21.

Sur la pièce de verrouillage 5, est monté au moins un galet ou un jeu de galets 6 et de préférence deux galets en tandem. L'axe de montage de ces galets maintient également l'extrémité de la pièce de verrouillage 5 en permettant son pivotement.On the locking part 5, is mounted to minus one pebble or a set of pebbles 6 and preferably two rollers in tandem. The mounting axis of these rollers maintains also the end of the locking piece 5 in allowing it to pivot.

Au moins un deuxième galet ou un deuxième jeu de galets 7 est également monté sur la pièce de verrouillage 5. Le diamètre aussi bien des galets 6 que des galets 7 est tel qu'ils peuvent pénétrer dans la partie inférieure rétrécie ou puits 21 du boítier 2.At least one second pebble or second game of rollers 7 is also mounted on the piece of 5. The diameter of both rollers 6 and pebble 7 is such that they can penetrate the part narrowed bottom or well 21 of the housing 2.

Des moyens équivalents aux galets tels que des patins de glissement peuvent bien entendu être utilisés.Means equivalent to pebbles such as slip skids can of course be used.

Une fente longitudinale dans le boítier 2 (voir figure 1) est prévue pour qu'une partie saillante de la pièce de verrouillage 5 puisse sortir du boítier 2 et puisse glisser depuis la position représentée dans la figure 1, vers le bas. Cette partie saillante extérieure de la pièce de verrouillage 5 est pourvue d'un bec 51.A longitudinal slot in the housing 2 (see Figure 1) is provided for a salient part of the locking piece 5 can come out of the housing 2 and can slide from the position shown in the Figure 1, down. This external protruding part of the locking piece 5 is provided with a spout 51.

On notera que la forme de la partie intérieure de la pièce de verrouillage 5 qui porte les galets 6 et 7, est adaptée au mouvement prévu des galets 6 et 7 depuis la position de la figure 1 vers celle de la figure 2.Note that the shape of the part inside of the locking piece 5 which carries the rollers 6 and 7, is adapted to the intended movement of the rollers 6 and 7 from the position of Figure 1 to that of the figure 2.

Dans la position des figures 1 et 2, le galet ou le jeu de galets 6 vient buter sur la partie rétrécie 21 du boítier 2, et le galet ou jeu de galets 7 est déjà engagée dans cette partie rétrécie ou puits 21 du boítier 2. In the position of Figures 1 and 2, the roller or the game of rollers 6 abuts on the narrowed portion 21 housing 2, and the roller or pebble game 7 is already engaged in this narrowed portion or well 21 of the housing 2.

Lorsqu'une broche 9, qui est fixée sur la barre ou tringle de la toile, approche de la fin de sa course, elle pénètre dans le bec 51 et fait basculer la pièce d'accrochage 5 qui pivote par rapport au galet ou jeu de galets 7 et amène le galet ou jeu de galets 6 vers le puits 21 du boítier 2 où ce galet ou jeu de galets 6 s'engage sous l'effet du ressort de pression 3 en tendant ainsi fortement la toile.When a pin 9, which is attached to the bar or rod of the canvas, approaching the end of his race, it enters the beak 51 and tilts the attachment piece 5 which pivots relative to the roller or game of rollers 7 and brings the roller or set of rollers 6 towards the well 21 of the housing 2 where this roller or pebble game 6 engages under the effect of the pressure spring 3 by tending so strongly the canvas.

Comparé à la solution préconisée dans le document DE-196 36 359 où c'est la pièce de verrouillage qui sous l'effet du ressort de pression, bloque la toile en position tendue, selon le mode d'exécution préconisé par la présente demande, c'est le ressort de pression qui agit directement sur la pièce 5 qui maintient la toile tendue mais pas nécessairement immobile. Sous l'action du vent, cette toile peut bouger légèrement contre l'effort du ressort de pression, ce qui réduit le bruit occasionné par le vent.Compared to the solution recommended in document DE-196 36 359 where it is the locking piece which under the effect of the pressure spring, blocks the canvas in tense position, according to the method of execution recommended by present application, it is the pressure spring which acts directly on piece 5 which keeps the canvas stretched but not necessarily immobile. Under the action of the wind, this canvas can move slightly against the effort of the pressure spring, which reduces the noise caused by the wind.

Un mouvement inverse contre l'effort du ressort de pression 3 (lorsque l'on enroule la toile, soit manuellement, soit à l'aide d'un moteur électrique par exemple), ramène le galet ou jeu de galets 6 dans la position des figures 1 et 2 et permet ensuite l'enroulement élastique de la toile sous l'effet du ressort.An opposite movement against the effort of the pressure spring 3 (when wrapping the fabric, either manually, either using an electric motor by example), bring back the pebble or pebble game 6 in the position of Figures 1 and 2 and then allows the winding elastic of the canvas under the effect of the spring.

On dispose donc d'un moyen simple et efficace qui permet de tendre la toile en position déployée et de la verrouiller tout en permettant l'enroulement de celle-ci sans tension trop importante lorsque le dispositif est déverrouillé.So we have a simple and effective way which allows to stretch the canvas in the deployed position and the lock while allowing the winding of it without too much tension when the device is unlocked.

L'ensemble est peu encombrant, et le ressort de pression 3 est reçu dans un boítier de protection.The whole is compact, and the spring pressure 3 is received in a protective housing.

Il convient de noter qu'une inversion des dispositions relatives du dispositif de verrouillage et de la barre ou tringle de la toile est envisageable, en ce sens que le boítier 2 soit fixé ou logé dans ou sur cette barre et que la broche 9 soit solidaire du dispositif de guidage latéral de la toile.It should be noted that an inversion of relative provisions of the locking device and the bar or rod of the canvas is conceivable, in meaning that the housing 2 is fixed or housed in or on this bar and that the pin 9 is integral with the device of lateral guidance of the fabric.

Ainsi qu'il a été indiqué, un dispositif symétrique est prévu sur le côté opposé de la toile. Dans le cas où, pour une façade, on envisage de prévoir au moins deux toiles disposées côte à côte, il est bien entendu possible de coupler en un seul élément deux dispositifs de du type précité, l'un assurant le maintien du côté droit d'une première toile et l'autre du côté gauche de la toile voisine, et ceci de manière répétitive si plus de deux toiles sont envisagées.As has been indicated, a symmetrical is provided on the opposite side of the canvas. In where, for a facade, provision is made for at least one two canvases arranged side by side, it is of course possible to couple into one single element two of the aforementioned type, one ensuring the maintenance of the right side one canvas and the other on the left side of the canvas neighbor, and this in a repetitive way if more than two canvases are envisaged.

La caractéristique essentielle du dispositif de l'invention par rapport aux formes déjà connues est la bonne protection du ressort de pression et des pivots du dispositif dans un boítier. Par rapport aux solutions connues par l'état de la technique, le système est surtout beaucoup moins bruyant sous l'effet du vent tout en gardant la toile tendue dans la position déployée.The essential feature of the device of the invention with respect to the already known forms is the good protection of the pressure spring and the pivots of the device in a housing. Compared to solutions known by the state of the art, the system is mainly much less noisy under the effect of the wind while keeping the canvas stretched in the deployed position.
