Description

L'invention concerne un dispositif de fixation d'une joue support sur une patte de fixation s'étendant à l'extrémité supérieure d'une coulisse latérale de guidage de lames d'un tablier d'une structure déployable, type volet roulant ou similaire.The invention relates to a device for attaching a support cheek to a fixing lug extending at the upper end of a lateral slide for guiding blades of an apron of a deployable structure, such as a roller shutter or the like. .

La présente invention trouvera son application plus particulièrement dans le domaine des systèmes de fermeture du bâtiment, bien qu'elle ne soit pas strictement limitée à une telle application.The present invention will find its application more particularly in the field of building closure systems, although it is not strictly limited to such an application.

Un système de fermeture de bâtiment sous forme d'une structure déployable, telle qu'un volet roulant, comporte habituellement un tablier composé d'une juxtaposition de lames qui, en position déployée, sont maintenues, au niveau de leurs extrémités, par des coulisses latérales de guidage sous forme de profilés de section en U ouverts latéralement. De manière usuelle, sur l'extrémité de ces coulisses latérales de guidage sont fixées des joues supports contribuant au maintien du mécanisme de repliement du tablier. Ainsi, dans le cas des volets roulants, ces joues supports maintiennent les extrémités du tube autour duquel ce tablier vient s'enrouler sous l'impulsion d'un mécanisme d'entraînement manuel ou motorisé.A building closure system in the form of a deployable structure, such as a shutter, usually comprises an apron consisting of a juxtaposition of blades which, in the deployed position, are held at their ends by slides Lateral guides in the form of U-section sections open laterally. In the usual manner, on the end of these lateral guide slides are fixed support cheeks contributing to the maintenance of the folding mechanism of the deck. Thus, in the case of roller shutters, these support cheeks hold the ends of the tube around which this apron comes to wind under the impulse of a manual or motorized drive mechanism.

Justement, pour fixer une telle joue support sur l'extrémité d'une coulisse latérale de guidage, l'on fait appel, très fréquemment, à une patte de fixation sur la partie supérieure de laquelle est rapportée ladite joue support, tandis que sa partie inférieure s'engage dans l'extrémité supérieure de ladite coulisse latérale de guidage. D'ailleurs, cette dernière est fréquemment subdivisée par une paroi intermédiaire formant entretoise entre les deux parois parallèles de cette coulisse, ceci de manière à délimiter, avec la paroi en fond de coulisse, un canal arrière mis à profit pour la réception de cette patte de fixation. A noter que ce canal que délimite en partie arrière de coulisse ladite paroi intermédiaire est encore utilisé, très souvent, pour le logement de moyens assurant la fixation de cette coulisse sur l'encadrement d'une porte, fenêtre ou similaire.In order to fix such a support cheek on the end of a lateral guide slide, it is very frequently called upon to use a fixing lug on the upper part of which said support cheek is attached, whereas its part lower part engages in the upper end of said lateral guide slide. Moreover, the latter is frequently subdivided by an intermediate wall forming a spacer between the two parallel walls of this slide, this so as to delimit, with the wall behind the slide, a rear channel used to receive this bracket. It should be noted that this channel delimited in the rear part of the said intermediate wall is still used, very often, for housing means ensuring the attachment of this slide on the frame of a door, window or the like.

Tout comme elle est emboîtée dans cette coulisse latérale de guidage, la patte de fixation est également engagée dans la joue support, laquelle comporte des moyens d'emboîtement adaptés pour la réception de cette patte.Just as it is nested in this lateral guide slide, the bracket is also engaged in the support cheek, which comprises fitting means adapted for receiving this tab.

Très souvent, cet emboîtement est irréversible. Autrement dit, grâce à des moyens formant redan, la patte, une fois insérée dans son logement prévu à cet effet au niveau de la joue support, ne peut s'en dégager.Very often, this nesting is irreversible. In other words, thanks to redan means, the leg, once inserted into its housing provided for this purpose at the support cheek, can not be released.

Dans d'autres cas de figure, il est fait appel à une liaison par vis ou rivet, soit une solution similaire à celle contribuant habituellement à la liaison de la patte de fixation dans la coulisse latérale de guidage.In other cases, it is called a connection by screw or rivet, a solution similar to that usually contributing to the connection of the bracket in the lateral guide slide.

Dans ce contexte, on connaît, en particulier par le document DE 20 2005 016059 , une patte de fixation prévue pour être rapportée latéralement sur une joue support de volet roulant. Cette patte de fixation comporte, sur ses chants longitudinaux, des décrochements définissant des languettes d'accrochage susceptibles, par un déplacement vertical de ladite patte et une fois cette dernière rapportée latéralement sur cette joue support, de s'inscrire à l'arrière de languettes de retenue que comporte celle-ci.In this context, we know, in particular by the document DE 20 2005 016059 , a fixing lug provided to be laterally attached to a flap support cheek. This fastening tab comprises, on its longitudinal edges, recesses defining hooking tabs likely, by a vertical displacement of said tab and once the latter laterally reported on the support cheek, register at the back of tabs restraint that includes it.

Après ce déplacement vertical, la patte de fixation est verrouillée dans sa position d'accrochage au travers d'un doigt d'accrochage à rappel élastique conçu apte à venir s'engager dans une ouverture adaptée dans ladite patte de fixation.After this vertical movement, the fixing lug is locked in its hooking position through a resilient return snap finger designed adapted to engage in a suitable opening in said bracket.

Il ressort de la description qui précède que l'accrochage de la joue support sur la patte de fixation intervient suivant une direction horizontale dans le plan ou au moins parallèlement au plan de déploiement du tablier du volet roulant.It follows from the foregoing description that the hooking of the support cheek on the fixing lug takes place in a horizontal direction in the plane or at least parallel to the plane of deployment of the shutter apron.

En d'autres termes, l'ensemble, constitué du mécanisme d'entraînement du volet roulant maintenu à ses extrémités par lesdites joues supports, ne peut être engagé sur les pattes de fixation préalablement insérées dans les coulisses latérales de guidage.In other words, the assembly, consisting of the drive mechanism of the roller shutter held at its ends by said support cheeks, can not be engaged on the fixing lugs previously inserted into the lateral guide rails.

Cet ensemble doit être pré-équipé desdites pattes de fixation que l'on vient ensuite engager dans les coulisses pour rapporter l'ensemble, de façon monobloc, dans l'encadrement correspondant à une porte ou fenêtre dans le mur d'une construction.This assembly must be pre-equipped with said fastening tabs which are then engaged in the wings to bring the assembly, in one piece, in the frame corresponding to a door or window in the wall of a building.

En particulier, il n'est pas possible de mettre en place, initialement, les coulisses pour engager, au-dessus de ces dernières, l'ensemble du mécanisme du volet roulant, y compris les joues supports équipées des pattes de fixation. En effet, une fois les coulisses implantées dans l'encadrement d'une porte ou fenêtre, on ne dispose pas, au-dessus de ces coulisses, d'un débattement suffisant pour permettre un tel emboîtement vertical.In particular, it is not possible to set up, initially, the slides to engage, above these, the entire mechanism of the roller shutter, including support cheeks equipped with the brackets. Indeed, once the scenes implanted in the frame of a door or window, it is not available above these slides, a clearance sufficient to allow such a vertical nesting.

L'on comprend bien qu'au travers de telles solutions connues, au moment du montage d'un volet roulant ou système de fermeture similaire dans l'encadrement correspondant à une porte ou fenêtre dans une construction, la joue support doit être pré-montée sur la patte de fixation et celle-ci doit être engagée dans la coulisse latérale de guidage. Cela suppose que l'ensemble du mécanisme d'entraînement du tablier du volet roulant ou similaire est mis en place en même temps, à moins de prévoir au niveau des joues supports des moyens spéciaux et additionnels adaptés pour permettre le montage de ce mécanisme d'entraînement ultérieurement.It is understood that through such known solutions, when mounting a shutter or similar closure system in the frame corresponding to a door or window in a construction, the support cheek must be pre-assembled on the fixing lug and this must be engaged in the lateral guide slide. This assumes that the entire driving mechanism of the rolling shutter apron or the like is put in place at the same time, unless there are provided at the support cheeks special and additional means adapted to allow the mounting of this mechanism. training later.

L'on connait, également, par le document FR-2.693.227 un ensemble de supports pour volet roulant traditionnel. Dans ce document il est décrit un volet roulant comportant un dispositif de fixation d'une joue support sur une tulipe s'étendant sensiblement dans le prolongement axial au-dessus de l'extrémité supérieure d'une coulisse latérale de guidage de lames de tablier d'une structure déployable. Une telle tulipe comporte une aile cintrée pour servir de guide d'introduction des lames dans la coulisse. Cette tulipe comporte, également, deux ailes verticales à angle droit dont une aile dans le plan du volet déployé et une aile dans le plan de laquelle se positionnera la joue support. Cette tulipe comporte des moyens d'accrochage associés à la tulipe et avec lesquels sont aptes à coopérer des moyens d'accrochage complémentaires que comporte la joue support, notamment que comporte une patte de cette joue support. En fait, la mise en place de la plaque consiste à engager les pattes dans les encoches, puis les encoches à cheval sur les ailes respectivement en déplaçant vers le bas la plaque sur la tulipe. Là encore, avec une telle configuration, on ne dispose pas, au-dessus des coulisses, d'un débattement suffisant pour permettre un emboîtement vertical, ceci une fois les coulisses implantées dans l'encadrement d'une porte ou fenêtre.We also know from the document FR-2693227 a set of supports for traditional shutters. In this document there is described a roller shutter comprising a device for fixing a support cheek on a tulip extending substantially in the axial extension above the upper end of a side guide slider of apron blades. a deployable structure. Such a tulip has a bent wing to serve as a guide for introducing the blades into the slide. This tulip also comprises two vertical wings at right angles, including a wing in the plane of the deployed flap and a wing in the plane of which will be positioned the support cheek. This tulip comprises hooking means associated with the tulip and with which are adapted to cooperate complementary hooking means that includes the support cheek, including that includes a tab of the support cheek. In fact, the implementation of the plate is to engage the tabs in the notches, then the notches straddling the wings respectively by moving down the plate on the tulip. Again, with such a configuration, it does not have, above the wings, a clearance sufficient to allow vertical interlocking, this once the slides implanted in the frame of a door or window.

De plus, la plaque de ce dispositif de fixation comporte des moyens spéciaux et additionnels adaptés pour permettre le montage d'un support d'extrémité d'arbre ou de mécanisme d'entraînement d'un tel arbre.In addition, the plate of this fixing device comprises special and additional means adapted to allow mounting a shaft end support or drive mechanism of such a shaft.

L'invention a su remédier à ce problème en permettant à l'usager d'accrocher les joues supports, très aisément et par un déplacement perpendiculaire au plan de déploiement du tablier de la structure déployable, sur l'extrémité des pattes de fixation déjà positionnées dans leurs coulisses latérales de guidage.The invention has overcome this problem by allowing the user to hang the support cheeks, very easily and by a displacement perpendicular to the deployment plane of the deck of the deployable structure, on the end of the already positioned fastening lugs in their lateral guiding slides.

A cet effet, l'invention concerne un dispositif de fixation d'une joue support sur une patte de fixation, un tel dispositif de fixation présentant les caractéristiques de la revendication 1.To this end, the invention relates to a device for fixing a support cheek on a fixing lug, such a fixing device having the features of claim 1.

La présente invention concerne le domaine des structures déployables, plus particulièrement des systèmes de fermeture de bâtiment de type volet roulant ou similaire.The present invention relates to the field of deployable structures, more particularly rolling shutter type building closure systems or the like.

Généralement, de telles structures comportent un tablier composé de lames dont les extrémités sont prévues pour venir se déplacer dans des coulisses latérales de guidage 1. Dans l'extrémité supérieure 2 de ces dernières est engagée et fixée une patte de fixation 3. Celle-ci s'étend sensiblement dans le prolongement axial au-dessus d'une telle coulisse et sert à la fixation, sur l'extrémité supérieure 2 de cette dernière, d'une joue support 4, telle qu'illustrée dans les figures 1, 2, 8 et 9. Une telle joue support 4 contribue au maintien du mécanisme intervenant au déploiement et au repliement du tablier. En particulier, dans le cas d'un volet roulant, ces joues supports 4 maintiennent, à leurs extrémités, le tube d'enroulement autour duquel est conçu apte à s'enrouler le tablier sous l'impulsion de moyens d'entraînement manuels ou motorisés.Generally, such structures comprise an apron composed of blades whose ends are designed to move in lateral guiding slides 1. In the upper end 2 of the latter is engaged and fixed a fixing lug 3. This one extends substantially in the axial extension above such a slide and is used for fixing, on the upper end 2 of the latter, a support cheek 4, as illustrated in FIGS. Figures 1, 2 , 8 and 9 . Such support cheek 4 contributes to the maintenance of the mechanism involved in the deployment and folding of the apron. In particular, in the case of a roller shutter, these support cheeks 4 maintain, at their ends, the winding tube around which is designed able to wind the deck under the impetus of manual or motorized drive means .

L'invention concerne plus particulièrement un dispositif de fixation 5 d'une joue support 4 sur une telle patte de fixation 3. Selon l'invention, celle-ci comporte des moyens d'accrochage 6 dans sa partie 7 s'étendant au dessus de la coulisse latérale de guidage 1. Avec ces moyens d'accrochage 6 sont conçus aptes à coopérer des moyens d'accrochage complémentaires 8 que comporte la joue support 4.The invention relates more particularly to a device 5 for attaching a support cheek 4 to such a fixing lug 3. According to the invention, the latter comprises attachment means 6 in its portion 7 extending over the lateral guide slide 1. With these attachment means 6 are designed capable of cooperating complementary fastening means 8 that includes the support cheek 4.

Avantageusement, le dispositif de fixation 5 comporte, par ailleurs, des moyens de verrouillage 9, préférentiellement à rappel élastique en position active, moyens 9 qui sont prévus pour s'opposer, après accrochage, au décrochage de la joue support 4 par rapport à ladite patte de fixation 3.Advantageously, the fixing device 5 furthermore comprises locking means 9, preferably with an elastic return in the active position, means 9 which are provided for opposing, after hooking, the stalling of the support cheek 4 with respect to said fixing lug 3.

Il est illustré, dans la figure 1, le plan P dans lequel s'étend la structure déployable. Dans ce plan P vient donc se déployer le tablier et les lames composant ce dernier. La joue support 4 s'étend, quant à elle, perpendiculaire à ce plan P.It is illustrated in the figure 1 , the plane P in which extends the deployable structure. In this plane P is therefore unfolding the apron and blades comprising the latter. The support cheek 4 extends, meanwhile, perpendicular to this plane P.

Ainsi, les moyens d'accrochage 6 sont conçus aptes à coopérer avec ceux complémentaire 8 par emboîtement de la joue support 4 sur la patte de fixation 3 essentiellement suivant une direction perpendiculaire au plan P. Avantageusement, ladite patte de fixation 3, au moins dans sa partie 7 s'étendant au-dessus de la coulisse latérale de guidage 1, emprunte la forme d'une cornière avec une aile 10 parallèle au plan P et une aile perpendiculaire 11. Dans l'angle intérieur 12 de cette patte de fixation 3 en forme de cornière vient s'inscrire la joue support 4 après accrochage.Thus, the attachment means 6 are designed to cooperate with those complementary 8 by interlocking the support cheek 4 on the fixing lug 3 essentially in a direction perpendicular to the plane P. Advantageously, said fixing lug 3, at least in its part 7 extending above the lateral guide slide 1, takes the form of an angle bracket with a flange 10 parallel to the plane P and a perpendicular flange 11. In the inner corner 12 of this bracket 3 Angled form comes to register the support cheek 4 after snapping.

Dans ce but, lesdits moyens d'accrochage 6 se présentent sous forme d'au moins un crochet 13 découpé dans l'aile perpendiculaire 11. Sur ce crochet 13 est prévue apte à s'accrocher une languette 14 également en forme de crochet, là encore préférentiellement obtenue par découpage et emboutissage de la joue support 4. La présence de plusieurs crochets 13, comme visible sur les figures 1, 2, 8 et 9 permet d'offrir plusieurs positions d'accrochage à des hauteurs différentes de la joue support 4 sur ladite patte de fixation 3.For this purpose, said attachment means 6 are in the form of at least one hook 13 cut in the perpendicular wing 11. On this hook 13 is provided capable of hooking a tongue 14 also in the form of a hook, there still preferably obtained by cutting and stamping the cheek support 4. The presence of several hooks 13, as visible on the Figures 1, 2 , 8 and 9 allows to offer several gripping positions at different heights of the support cheek 4 on said bracket 3.

En se rapportant à présent plus particulièrement aux figures 1 à 7 correspondant à un premier mode de réalisation de l'invention, on remarquera que dans l'aile perpendiculaire 11 de la patte de fixation 3 est encore découpée une lumière, notamment en forme de fer à cheval 15. Une lumière 16 identique est ménagée dans la joue support 4 de telle manière à venir se positionner au droit de cette lumière 15 de ladite patte de fixation 3 après accrochage sur cette dernière.Referring now more specifically to Figures 1 to 7 corresponding to a first embodiment of the invention, it will be noted that in the perpendicular wing 11 of the fixing lug 3 is still cut a light, in particular in the form of horseshoe 15. An identical light 16 is provided in the plays support 4 in such a way as to position itself at the right of this light 15 of said bracket 3 after hooking on the latter.

Dans un mode de réalisation préférentiel, les moyens de verrouillage 9 sont définis par un élément ressort 17 associé à ladite patte de fixation 3 repoussé élastiquement pour s'étendre au travers de la lumière 15 de manière apte à coopérer avec la lumière 16 dans la joue support 4 et empêcher celle-ci de se décrocher par rapport à la patte de fixation 3.In a preferred embodiment, the locking means 9 are defined by a spring element 17 associated with said fastening tab 3 elastically pushed to extend through the slot 15 so as to cooperate with the light 16 in the cheek support 4 and prevent it from falling off relative to the bracket 3.

L'élément ressort 17 est défini par une tige ressort montée sur l'aile perpendiculaire 11 du côté externe 18, opposé à celui interne 19, contre lequel vient en applique la joue support 4 après accrochage. Cette tige ressort est repliée de manière à s'étendre au travers de la lumière 15 en forme de fer à cheval, tout en comportant un retour de pliage 20 à son extrémité prenant appui du côté externe 18 de ladite aile perpendiculaire 11.The spring element 17 is defined by a spring rod mounted on the perpendicular wing 11 of the outer side 18, opposite the inner one 19, against which the support cheek 4 is applied after hooking. This spring rod is folded so as to extend through the light in the form of horseshoe, while having a folding back 20 at its end bearing on the outer side 18 of said perpendicular wing 11.

Avantageusement, ce retour de pliage 20 définit encore des moyens de préhension permettant de repousser ces moyens de verrouillage que conçoit cet élément ressort 17 dans une position inactive pour autoriser le décrochement de la joue support 4.Advantageously, this folding return 20 further defines gripping means for pushing back said locking means which this spring member 17 designs in an inactive position to allow the recess of the support cheek 4.

Il est évident que ces moyens de verrouillage à rappel élastique 9 peuvent emprunter une autre forme de réalisation que celle d'une tige ressort. En particulier, dans la patte de fixation 3, notamment au niveau de son aile perpendiculaire 11, peut être découpée une languette élastique conçue apte à coopérer avec une ouverture adaptée dans la joue support 4. Dans cette languette peut encore être découpée une languette de préhension qui, tout comme dans la solution illustrée dans la figure 3, permet de rendre inactifs lesdits moyens de verrouillage 9 pour faciliter le décrochement de la joue support 4.It is obvious that these elastic return locking means 9 may borrow another embodiment than that of a spring rod. In particular, in the fixing lug 3, in particular at its perpendicular wing 11, can be cut a resilient tongue designed adapted to cooperate with a suitable opening in the cheek support 4. In this tongue can be further cut a gripping tab which, just like in the solution illustrated in the figure 3 , makes it possible to make said locking means 9 inactive so as to facilitate the recessing of the support cheek 4.

Dans les figures 8 à 10 il est illustré un second mode de réalisation du dispositif de fixation 5 selon l'invention, plus particulièrement des moyens de verrouillage à rappel élastiques 9.In the Figures 8 to 10 a second embodiment of the fixing device 5 according to the invention is illustrated, more particularly resilient return locking means 9.

Ainsi, dans l'aile perpendiculaire 11 de la patte de fixation 3 est réalisé au moins une ouverture 15A avec laquelle est conçue apte à coopérer un crochet élastique 17A par engagement de la joue support 4 sur la patte de fixation 3 suivant une direction perpendiculaire au plan P. Plus exactement, lorsque cette joue support 4 arrive sensiblement en butée dans l'angle 12 formé entre les deux ailes 10, 11 de la patte de fixation 3, ledit crochet 17A, en forme de redan, vient en même temps s'insérer élastiquement dans ladite ouverture 15A.Thus, in the perpendicular wing 11 of the fixing lug 3 is formed at least one opening 15A with which is designed able to cooperate an elastic hook 17A by engagement of the support cheek 4 on the fixing lug 3 in a direction perpendicular to the P. Plan More exactly, when this support cheek 4 substantially stops in the angle 12 formed between the two wings 10, 11 of the bracket 3, said hook 17A, redan-shaped, comes at the same time resiliently inserting into said opening 15A.

A ce propos, le dit crochet 17A, qui s'étend parallèlement à la joue support 4 dans la direction d'engagement, comporte une extrémité effilée 21 de manière à faciliter l'insertion, entre ce crochet 17A et ladite joue 4, de l'aile perpendiculaire 11 de la patte de fixation 3. Au travers de cette insertion, ledit crochet 17A est soumis sous contrainte élastique, assurant le rappel en position d'engagement et de verrouillage lorsque ce crochet 17A vient finalement se positionner au droit de l'ouverture 15A.In this regard, said hook 17A, which extends parallel to the support cheek 4 in the engagement direction, has a tapered end 21 so as to facilitate the insertion between this hook 17A and said cheek 4, perpendicular wing 11 of the fixing lug 3. Through this insertion, said hook 17A is subjected to elastic stress, ensuring the return engagement and locking position when the hook 17A is finally positioned to the right of the opening 15A.

Le crochet élastique 17A peut, tout comme l'illustrent les figures, se présenter sous forme d'une pièce indépendante conçue apte à être rapportée, par rivetage, sertissage, collage ou tout simplement par clipage sur la joue support 4. En particulier, ce crochet 17A peut être réalisé en matière plastique ou par découpage et pliage d'une lame métallique. Ce crochet 17A peut encore être conçu par une opération de découpage réalisée directement dans ladite joue support 4, suivie d'opérations de pliage et/ou d'emboutissage adaptées.The elastic hook 17A can, as illustrated in the figures, be in the form of an independent piece designed adapted to be reported, by riveting, crimping, gluing or simply by clipping on the cheek support 4. In particular, Hook 17A can be made of plastic or by cutting and folding a metal blade. This hook 17A can also be designed by a cutting operation performed directly in said support cheek 4, followed by folding operations and / or stamping adapted.

Au vu de la description qui précède, l'on comprend qu'il est très aisé de rapporter une joue support 4 sur une patte de fixation 3 surmontant une coulisse latérale de guidage 1, même après avoir fixée celle-ci sur la menuiserie d'une porte ou fenêtre ou dans l'encadrement recevant cette menuiserie.In view of the foregoing description, it is understood that it is very easy to report a support cheek 4 on a fixing lug 3 surmounting a guide lateral slide 1, even after having fixed it on the carpentry of a door or window or in the frame receiving this joinery.

En outre, comme tente de le montrer la figure 3, le décrochage ultérieur de cette joue support 4 est rendu possible, ceci dans le but de faciliter les opérations de maintenance.In addition, as tries to show it the figure 3 , the subsequent stall of this support cheek 4 is made possible, in order to facilitate maintenance operations.

En conséquence, la présente invention répond de manière avantageuse à de nombreux problèmes que rencontrent de manière systématique tous les opérateurs sur les différents chantiers, qu'il s'agisse d'un équipement nouveau, de rénovation ou dans le cadre d'une maintenance. Elle facilite les interventions pour ces opérateurs en les rendant moins contraignantes et plus rapides.Accordingly, the present invention responds advantageously to many problems that systematically meet all operators on the various sites, whether new equipment, renovation or maintenance. It facilitates interventions for these operators by making them less burdensome and faster.
