A second section (4b) engages the ruler to clamp the cover plate on the ruler.

Description

La présente invention concerne des abris, par exemple des abris pour piscine, qui comportent une armature faite de profilés cintrés formant arceaux sur lesquels sont fixés des plaques de couverture qui forment le toit et les parois de l'abri. Elle concerne plus particulièrement une structure pour porte coulissante équipant un abri tel que précité.The present invention relates to shelters, for example shelters for pool, which include a frame made of curved profiles forming hoops on which are attached roof plates that form the roof and the walls of the shelter. It relates more particularly to a structure for sliding door equipping a shelter as mentioned above.

Dans la majorité des abris tels que précédemment décrit, le battant de la porte se déplace au moyen de roulettes qui coulissent dans un rail en U. Du fait de la forme arrondie de l'abri, l'eau est rapidement évacuée le long des parois et aucune étanchéité particulière n'est prévue au niveau du rail, si ce n'est un rebord déviant l'eau sur les côtés de la porte.In the majority of shelters as previously described, the flap of the door moves by means of rollers that slide in a U-shaped rail. made of the rounded shape of the shelter, the water is quickly evacuated along the walls and no special sealing is provided at the rail, if is a flange deviating water on the sides of the door.

Le problème de l'étanchéité se pose de manière plus cruciale dans le cas d'un abri formé contre un mur, c'est-à-dire dont les profilés cintrés prennent appui sur un mur et s'étendent en arc de cercle vers le sol. Dans ce cas, le rail en U est disposé au niveau du mur ce qui correspond au toit de l'abri. Un simple rebord recouvrant le rail ne suffit donc plus pour éviter les écoulements d'eau à l'intérieur de l'abri. En général, dans ce cas de figure, on construit un chéneau de récupération des eaux de pluie sur lequel on vient fixer la porte coulissante. La majorité des eaux de pluie qui ruissellent étant collectées par le chéneau, les infiltrations au niveau du rail en U de la porte sont donc réduites. Néanmoins, la présence de ce chéneau impose un entretien régulier pour éviter les risques de bouchage.The problem of tightness is more crucial in the case a shelter formed against a wall, that is to say whose curved profiles take support on a wall and extend in an arc to the ground. In this case, the rail U-shaped is located at the wall which corresponds to the roof of the shelter. A a simple rim covering the rail is therefore no longer sufficient to avoid water flows inside the shelter. In general, in this case, build a rainwater harvesting gutter on which we come fix the sliding door. Most of the rainwater that flows is collected by the gutter, infiltrations at the U-rail of the door are therefore reduced. Nevertheless, the presence of this gutter imposes a regular maintenance to avoid the risk of clogging.

La présente invention a pour but de proposer une porte coulissante pour abri du type comportant une structure en profilés cintrés sur lesquels sont fixés des plaques de couverture qui assurent une bonne étanchéité de l'abri au niveau de la porte et qui dans le cas d'un abri prenant appui sur un mur évitent la construction d'un chéneau tel que précité.The present invention aims to provide a sliding door for shelter of the type comprising a structure of curved profiles on which are fixed cover plates which ensure a good seal of the shelter at the door and which in the case of a shelter based on a wall avoid the construction of a gutter as mentioned above.

Ce but est atteint au moyen d'un ensemble d'éléments pour la fabrication d'une porte coulissante pour abri comportant une structure formée de profilés cintrés sur lesquels sont fixées des plaques de couverture, la porte comportant elle-même des montants latéraux cintrés, qui de manière caractéristique selon l'invention comprend :

  • un premier profilé rectiligne comportant une gorge longitudinale;
  • au moins deux roulettes insérées dans ladite gorge du premier profilé et mobiles en translation dans cette dernière ;
  • des moyens de liaison de chacune des roulettes avec un montant fait d' un profilé dans une direction sensiblement perpendiculaire à ladite gorge ; et
  • des moyens de fixation étanche d'au moins une plaque de couverture entre les roulettes qui comprennent une réglette plate s'étendant parallèlement au premier profilé entre les deux roulettes et un second profilé qui coopère avec ladite réglette pour fixer par pincement, de manière étanche, ladite ou lesdites plaques de couverture sur ladite réglette.
This object is achieved by means of a set of elements for the manufacture of a sliding door for shelter comprising a structure formed of curved sections on which are fixed cover plates, the door itself having curved side uprights, which typically according to the invention comprises:
  • a first straight section having a longitudinal groove;
  • at least two rollers inserted in said groove of the first section and movable in translation therein;
  • connecting means of each of the wheels with an amount made of a profile in a direction substantially perpendicular to said groove; and
  • means for sealing at least one cover plate between the rollers which comprise a flat strip extending parallel to the first profile between the two rollers and a second section which cooperates with said strip for fixing by pinching, in a sealed manner, said one or more cover plates on said strip.

L'invention a en outre pour objet une porte coulissante telle que définie par la revendication 8 annexée.The invention further relates to a sliding door as defined by appended claim 8.

L'étanchéité de la structure de la porte de l'invention est assurée par le contact étroit de la réglette sur la plaque de couverture. Le second profilé qui assure ce contact peut s'étendre sur tout ou partie de la longueur de la réglette.The sealing of the structure of the door of the invention is ensured by the close contact of the slider on the cover plate. The second section which ensures that contact can extend over all or part of the length of the strip.

Selon une variante de réalisation, le second profilé présente une section transversale en U ce qui permet d'assurer un pincement efficace de la plaque de couverture sur la réglette. Ce second profilé peut également, lorsque le matériau qui le constitue est suffisamment rigide, éviter que la plaque de couverture ne gondole, il fait alors également office de moyens de rigidification.According to an alternative embodiment, the second section has a section transverse U-shaped which ensures an effective pinching of the plate cover on the ruler. This second section can also, when the material which constitutes it is sufficiently rigid, to avoid that the plate of cover does not gondola, so it also serves as means of stiffening.

Selon l'invention, les moyens de liaison des roulettes avec un montant ne sont pas limités. Selon un mode de réalisation particulier, les moyens de liaison des roulettes avec un montant comportent une tige encastrable dans ledit profilé.According to the invention, the means for connecting the rollers with an amount are not limited. According to a particular embodiment, the means of connection of the casters with an upright comprise a rod insert in said profile.

De même, la section de la gorge et la forme des roulettes ne sont pas limitées selon l'invention. Selon un mode de réalisation particulier, la gorge est sensiblement tubulaire et les roulettes présentent en section transversale deux arcs de cercles opposés qui coopèrent avec la gorge en sorte de permettre une rotation de la roulette par rapport à un axe sensiblement transversal au premier profilé. Similarly, the section of the throat and the shape of the casters are not limited according to the invention. According to a particular embodiment, the throat is substantially tubular and the rollers have a cross-section two arcs of opposite circles that cooperate with the throat so allow a rotation of the wheel with respect to a substantially transverse to the first section.

Selon un mode de réalisation particulier, le premier profilé comporte des seconds moyens d'étanchéité permettant d'assurer l'étanchéité entre le premier profilé, les arceaux de la structure de l'abri et les plaques de couverture.According to a particular embodiment, the first section comprises second sealing means for sealing between the first section, the hoops of the shelter structure and blanket.

Selon une variante particulière de réalisation, les seconds moyens d'étanchéité comportent un troisième profilé solidaire du premier profilé qui s'étend parallèlement à ce dernier profilé au delà de l'ouverture de la gorge du premier profilé et qui comporte une cavité s'étendant sur toute sa longueur; cette cavité est apte à recevoir un élément d'étanchéité. Cet élément d'étanchéité peut par exemple être un balai ou un joint de caoutchouc.According to a particular variant embodiment, the second means sealing elements comprise a third profile secured to the first section which extends parallel to the latter section beyond the opening of the throat of the first section and which has a cavity extending over its entire length; this cavity is adapted to receive a sealing element. This sealing element may for example be a broom or a seal of rubber.

La présente invention, ses caractéristiques et les différents avantages qu'elle procure apparaítront mieux à la lecture de la description qui suit et fait référence aux dessins annexés représentant un mode particulier de réalisation, présenté à titre d'exemple non limitatif et sur lequel :

  • la figure 1 représente une vue en perspective d'un abri prenant appui sur un mur et équipé d'une porte coulissante de l'invention ;
  • la figure 2 représente une vue de dessus d'un détail d'un mode de réalisation de la porte coulissante de l'invention ;
  • la figure 3 représente une coupe transversale de ce même mode de réalisation.
The present invention, its characteristics and the various advantages that it affords will appear better on reading the description which follows and refers to the attached drawings representing a particular embodiment, presented by way of non-limiting example and in which:
  • Figure 1 shows a perspective view of a shelter supported on a wall and equipped with a sliding door of the invention;
  • Figure 2 shows a top view of a detail of an embodiment of the sliding door of the invention;
  • Figure 3 shows a cross section of the same embodiment.

La figure 1 représente un abri du type comprenant une structure formée de profilés cintrés P qui forment des arceaux et sur lesquels sont fixés des plaques de couverture C. Dans le cas particulier ici représenté, les profilés P prennent appui sur la surface verticale d'un mur M et s'étendent en arc de cercle vers le sol S où ils sont fixés. Dans le cas particulier de la figure 1, l'abri comporte quatre profilés P entre lesquels sont fixés des plaques de couverture C. Ces plaques C forment, du fait de leur forme arrondie, à la fois, le toit et une des parois latérales de l'abri (la seconde paroi latérale est formée par le mur M). Dans le cas de la figure 1, l'abri comporte une porte coulissante 1 à un battant 1a. Cette porte coulissante 1, qui coulisse dans un premier profilé 2 fixé sur la mur M, comprend deux montants 3 de porte et une ou plusieurs plaques de couverture C fixées entre les deux montants 3 et solidarisées au premier profilé 2 par l'intermédiaire de moyens de fixation 4 qui seront plus amplement décrits en référence aux figures 2 et 3.FIG. 1 represents a shelter of the type comprising a structure formed of curved profiles P which form arches and on which are fixed cover plates C. In the particular case represented here, the profiles P rest on the vertical surface of a wall M and extend in an arc of circle to the ground S where they are fixed. In the particular case of Figure 1, the shelter has four P-profiles between which cover plates are attached C. These plates C form, because of their rounded shape, both the roof and one of the side walls of the shelter (the second side wall is formed by the wall M). In the case of FIG. 1, the shelter comprises a sliding door 1 to a wing 1a. This sliding door 1, which slides in a first section 2 fixed on the wall M, includes two door posts 3 and one or more cover plates C fixed between the two uprights 3 and secured to the first section 2 via fastening means 4 which will be more amply described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3.

Sur la figure 1, le premier profilé 2 s'étend sur toute la longueur de l'abri et est disposé au dessus des profilé P fixes. Il est donc possible de faire coulisser le battant 1a sur toute la longueur de l'abri, ce battant 1a venant recouvrir une portion de la paroi latérale de l'abri. Il est également possible selon l'invention d'équiper un abri d'une porte comprenant plusieurs battants semblables au battant 1a précédemment décrit. Ces battants peuvent coulisser dans un même premier profilé tel que précédemment décrit, ils sont alors rabattus d'un coté ou des deux cotés de l'ouverture de l'abri. Il est également possible d'équiper un abri de plusieurs premiers profilés 2 s'étendant sur tout ou partie de la longueur de l'abri et superposés l'un sur l'autre. Dans ce cas, il est possible de rabattre les battants de la porte coulissante l'un sur l'autre, du fait de la superposition des premiers profilés 2 dans lesquels ils coulissent.In FIG. 1, the first section 2 extends over the entire length of the shelter and is arranged above the fixed P-profile. It is therefore possible to do slide the flap 1a over the entire length of the shelter, this beating 1a coming cover a portion of the side wall of the shelter. It is also possible according to the invention to equip a shelter with a door comprising several leaves similar to the flap 1a previously described. These leaves can slide in the same first profile as previously described, they are then folded on one side or both sides of the opening of the shelter. It is also possible to equip a shelter with several first profiles 2 extending over all or part of the length of the shelter and superimposed one on the other. In this case, it is possible to fold the doors of the door sliding on one another, due to the superposition of the first sections 2 in which they slide.

En référence à la figure 2, l'ensemble d'éléments de l'invention pour la fabrication d'une porte coulissante comprend un premier profilé 2 qui comprend une gorge longitudinale 2a. Dans la gorge 2a sont montées en translation deux roulettes 5. L'axe de roulement 5a de chacune des roulettes 5 se prolonge par une tige 5b faisant office de moyen de liaison et qui est fixée, par exemple, par encastrement dans un montant 3. Les deux tiges 5b sont reliées par une réglette plate 4a qui s'étend parallèlement à la gorge 2a. Une plaque de couverture C est disposée sur la réglette 4a et pincée sur la surface de cette dernière par le second profilé 4b qui présente une section transversale en U. Une des branches de ce U vient donc en contact avec la face supérieure de la plaque de couverture C, l'autre prenant appui sur la face inférieure de la réglette 4a. La distance séparant la réglette 4a de l'ouverture de la gorge 2a est déterminée en sorte de pouvoir y glisser le second profilé 4b et d'obtenir un interstice minimal entre le second profilé 4b et l'ouverture de la gorge 2a. Du fait de la forme courbe des montants 3 et de l'inclinaison possible des roulettes 5, la réglette 4a et le second profilé 4b se positionnent à proximité du premier profilé 2 ce qui assure une bonne étanchéité de l'abri. Dans l'exemple représenté, le second profilé 4b s'étend sur toute la longueur de la plaque de couverture C située entre les montants 3 et fait donc également office de moyens de rigidification de cette plaque de couverture C, l'empêchant, par exemple, de gondoler. Les montants 3 peuvent être des profilés du même type que les profilés fixes P. Dans ce cas, on ménagera dans l'épaisseur de la paroi latérale du montant 3 une encoche 3b permettant le passage de la réglette 4a. Le second profilé 4a peut également se prolonger à l'intérieur des montants 3 et venir en butée contre la tige 5b.With reference to FIG. 2, the set of elements of the invention for the manufacture of a sliding door comprises a first profile 2 which comprises a longitudinal groove 2a. In the throat 2a are mounted in translation of two rollers 5. The rolling axle 5a of each of the rollers 5 is extended by a rod 5b serving as a connecting means and which is fixed, for example, by embedding in an amount 3. The two rods 5b are connected by a flat strip 4a which extends parallel to the groove 2a. A cover plate C is arranged on the strip 4a and pinched on the surface of the latter by the second section 4b which has a section transverse U. One of the branches of this U is therefore in contact with the face top of the cover plate C, the other bearing on the face bottom of the strip 4a. The distance separating the strip 4a from the opening of the groove 2a is determined so as to be able to slide in the second section 4b and to obtain a minimum gap between the second section 4b and the opening of the throat 2a. Due to the curved shape of the uprights 3 and the inclination possible rollers 5, the strip 4a and the second section 4b are positioned at near the first section 2 which ensures a good seal of the shelter. In the example shown, the second section 4b extends over the entire length of the cover plate C located between the uprights 3 and therefore also serves as means of stiffening this cover plate C, preventing it, for example, from curling. Amounts 3 can be profiles of the same type as the fixed profiles P. In this case, we will spare in the thickness of the side wall of the upright 3 a notch 3b allowing the passage of the strip 4a. The second section 4a can also be extended to inside the uprights 3 and abut against the rod 5b.

En section transversale comme représenté sur la figure 3, la gorge 2a présente une section quasi circulaire ce qui permet d'assurer une bonne étanchéité au niveau de la gorge, la pluie ne pouvant que difficilement pénétrer dans la gorge 2a. Les roulettes 5 présentent en section transversale, deux arcs de cercle 5c et 5d opposés qui coopèrent avec la gorge 2a pour permettre le coulissement des roulettes 5 le long de la gorge 2a et également pour permettre l'articulation des roulettes 5 par rapport à l'axe Z. En effet, la forme quasi circulaire de la gorge 2a et la forme cylindrique des roulettes 5 au niveau des portions d'arcs de cercle 5c et 5d, permettent l'inclinaison de l'axe de roulement 5a de la roulette par rapport à l'axe médian Z qui passe par le milieu de l'ouverture de la gorge 2a et lui est sensiblement transversal. Dans le mode de réalisation particulier représenté, les roulettes 5 peuvent être inclinées d'un angle α inférieur ou égal à 10°, d'un coté ou de l'autre de l'axe Z. Cette articulation en rotation de la roulette 5 facilite la pose des montants 3 au sol et permet à ces derniers de travailler, la rotation de la roulette faisant office de jeu. Le second profilé 4b est, lorsqu'il pince la plaque de couverture C, disposé à une distance de l'ordre de 5 mm de la face 5e de la roulette 5 qui affleure au niveau de l'ouverture de la gorge 2a.In cross section as shown in Figure 3, the groove 2a has a quasi-circular section which ensures a good tightness in the throat, the rain can only with difficulty enter the throat 2a. The rollers 5 have in cross section, two opposite arcs 5c and 5d which cooperate with the groove 2a for allow the sliding of the rollers 5 along the groove 2a and also to allow the articulation of the rollers 5 with respect to the axis Z. Indeed, the almost circular shape of the groove 2a and the cylindrical shape of the rollers 5 to level of the portions of arcs 5c and 5d, allow the inclination of the axis of rolling 5a of the wheel relative to the median axis Z which passes through the middle of the opening of the groove 2a and it is substantially transverse. In the particular embodiment shown, the rollers 5 can be inclined at an angle α less than or equal to 10 °, on one side or the other of the axis Z. This articulation in rotation of the wheel 5 facilitates the installation of the amounts 3 on the ground and allows them to work, the rotation of the wheel play area. The second section 4b is, when it is gripping the cover plate C, disposed at a distance of about 5 mm from the face 5e of the wheel 5 which is flush with the opening of the groove 2a.

Le premier profilé 2 comporte une face 2b destinée à être fixée, par exemple au moyen de vis ou de mortier, contre le mur M. La face 2b comporte, dans l'exemple particulier représenté sur les figures 2 et 3, un rebord 2c qui est destiné à être fiché dans le mur en sorte de conforter la fixation du premier profilé 2. The first section 2 comprises a face 2b intended to be fixed by example by means of screws or mortar, against the wall M. The face 2b comprises, in the particular example shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, a flange 2c which is intended to be stuck in the wall so as to reinforce the fixing the first profile 2.

Dans le mode de réalisation particulier représenté sur la figure 3, le premier profilé 2 comporte des seconds moyens d'étanchéité 6 qui comprennent un troisième profilé 6a disposé à l'aplomb des montants 3 et de la plaque de couverture C de la porte coulissante. Le troisième profilé 6a s'étend parallèlement au premier profilé 2 et est solidaire de ce dernier au moyen d'une entretoise 6b (ou prolongement) qui s'étend, dans le cas présent, sur toute la longueur du premier profilé 2 et du troisième profilé 6a. Le premier profilé 2 et le troisième profilé 6a ont de préférence la même longueur. Le troisième profilé 6a présente une cavité 6c dont l'ouverture 6d est orientée vers la gorge 2a. Cette cavité 6c peut être comme dans l'exemple représenté, équipée d'un balai 7 (ou tout autre élément d'étanchéité) dont l'extrémité libre 7a vient s'appuyer sur la plaque de couverture C et sur les montants 3 de la porte coulissante 1. La présence du troisième profilé 6a, de son entretoise 6b et de l'élément d'étanchéité empêche totalement le passage de la pluie vers la gorge 2a et assure ainsi une étanchéité complète. Dans l'exemple représenté sur la figure 3, la cavité 6c définit une ouverture 6d qui est bordée de rebords 6e perpendiculaires aux parois latérales 6f de la cavité 6c. Le troisième profilé 6a est de préférence, dans le cas présent, réalisé en un matériau suffisamment souple pour permettre l'insertion du balai 7 par déformation des parois latérales 6f de la cavité 6c et le maintien de ce dernier entre les rebords 6e qui pincent le balai 7 à l'instar d'une mâchoire.In the particular embodiment shown in FIG. first section 2 comprises second sealing means 6 which comprise a third profile 6a disposed vertically above the uprights 3 and the cover plate C of the sliding door. The third section 6a extends parallel to the first section 2 and is integral with the latter at means of a spacer 6b (or extension) which extends, in the case present, over the entire length of the first section 2 and the third section 6a. The first profile 2 and the third profile 6a preferably have the same length. The third profile 6a has a cavity 6c whose opening 6d is oriented towards the groove 2a. This cavity 6c can be as in the example shown, equipped with a broom 7 (or any other sealing element) the free end 7a comes to rest on the cover plate C and on the 3 amounts of the sliding door 1. The presence of the third section 6a, its spacer 6b and the sealing element completely prevents the passage rain to the groove 2a and thus ensures complete sealing. In the example shown in FIG. 3, the cavity 6c defines an opening 6d which is bordered with flanges 6e perpendicular to the side walls 6f of the cavity 6c. The third profile 6a is preferably, in this case, made of a sufficiently flexible material to allow the insertion of the broom 7 by deformation of the side walls 6f of the cavity 6c and the maintenance of the latter between the edges 6e which pinch the broom 7 like a jaw.

Il est également possible selon l'invention d'équiper un abri ne prenant pas appui sur un mur de la porte coulissante de l'invention. Dans ce cas, le premier profilé 2 sera conçu pour être fixé sur les profilés fixes P en sorte de permettre de rabattre par coulissement le ou les battants de la porte sur une des parois latérales de l'abri.It is also possible according to the invention to equip a shelter that does not take not support on a wall of the sliding door of the invention. In this case, the first section 2 will be designed to be fixed on the fixed profiles P so as to allow the door leaf (s) to be folded down by sliding on a side walls of the shelter.
