Le document EP-A-0 628 695 décrit un dispositif de fermeture des extrémités latérales de la première partie d'un coffre de volet roulant, dont chacune des deux extrémités latérales présente un évidement. Ce dispositif comporte :

  • une joue de forme conjuguée de la section de l'évidement, adaptée pour venir en contact avec la première partie du coffre selon une zone d'appui périphérique munie d'une collerette de butée, ladite zone d'appui étant munie de moyens d'ancrage en saillie adaptés pour venir s'ancrer dans la première partie du coffre,
  • et un talon adapté pour être inséré par coulissement dans des glissières et pour coopérer avec la joue et les parois longitudinales de la première partie du coffre et former une extrémité latérale étanche, ledit talon comportant des moyens de blocage adaptés pour bloquer en translation la joue par rapport au talon et des moyens d'ancrage adaptés pour pénétrer dans les parois longitudinales de la première partie du coffre.
The document EP-A-0 628 695 describes a device for closing the lateral ends of the first part of a roller shutter box, each of the two lateral ends has a recess. This device comprises:
  • a cheek of conjugated shape of the section of the recess, adapted to come into contact with the first part of the trunk according to a peripheral support zone provided with a stop flange, said bearing zone being provided with means for protruding anchorage adapted to anchor in the first part of the trunk,
  • and a heel adapted to be slidably inserted into slides and to cooperate with the cheek and the longitudinal walls of the first portion of the trunk and form a sealed lateral end, said heel comprising locking means adapted to lock in translation the cheek by relative to the heel and anchoring means adapted to penetrate the longitudinal walls of the first part of the trunk.

La joue et le talon sont des pièces non seulement distinctes mais désassemblées, du moins jusqu'au moment final où le coffre est réalisé.Cheek and heel are not only distinct but disassembled pieces, at least until the final moment when the chest is made.

Le montage d'un tel dispositif est le suivant.The mounting of such a device is as follows.

L'opérateur saisit la joue - alors séparée du talon - et la fait coulisser - verticalement - dans l'évidement jusqu'à ce que ses moyens d'ancrage s'enfoncent dans le fond de la première partie du coffre. La joue est alors positionnée.The operator grasps the cheek - then separated from the heel - and slides - vertically - in the recess until its anchoring means sink into the bottom of the first part of the trunk. The cheek is then positioned.

L'opérateur saisit alors le talon - alors séparé de la joue -. Il le met en place dans l'espace laissé libre entre la première partie du coffre et la joue, par coulissement - horizontal - jusqu'à ce que les oreilles du talon entrent en contact avec la tranche des parois longitudinales de la première partie du coffre. Simultanément, l'extrémité inférieure de la joue passe au-dessus de la seconde butée du talon et vient se positionner dans la rainure dont il est pourvu. A cet instant, mais à cet instant seulement, le talon et la joue forment un ensemble solidaire permettant le maintien en place de la joue dans l'évidement de la première partie du coffre. Le volet roulant et les mécanismes d'entraînement sont alors placés dans le coffre.The operator then grasps the heel - then separated from the cheek -. He puts it in place in the space left between the first part of the trunk and the cheek, by sliding - horizontal - until the ears of the heel come into contact with the edge of the longitudinal walls of the first part of the trunk . Simultaneously, the lower end of the cheek passes above the second stop of the heel and is positioned in the groove with which it is provided.

In addition, they are known general knowledge of the skilled person. For these reasons, they are not described further.

Le volet roulant comporte en troisième lieu un coffre 1 logeant l'ensemble à lames lorsqu'il est enroulé et les moyens d'entraînement.The rolling shutter comprises thirdly a trunk 1 housing the blade assembly when it is wound and the drive means.

Un tel coffre 1, appelée coffre tunnel, comporte d'abord une première partie 2 constituée de trois parois longitudinales 3, d'une fente de passage du volet roulant et de deux parois d'extrémité 4 ayant chacune un évidement 5 en forme générale de U.Such a box 1, called tunnel box, comprises firstly a first part 2 consisting of three longitudinal walls 3, a slit through which the shutter passes and two end walls 4 each having a recess 5 in the general shape of U.

Un tel coffre 1 comporte ensuite et en outre une seconde partie constituée de deux dispositifs de fermeture 6 des évidements 5 des parois d'extrémité 4.Such a box 1 then comprises and in addition a second part consisting of two closing devices 6 of the recesses 5 of the end walls 4.

Un tel coffre 1 comporte enfin dans l'exemple représenté deux rails longitudinaux 20 solidaires respectivement de l'extrémité des deux parois longitudinales constituant les deux branches du U. Ces rails longitudinaux 20 comportent chacun une glissière longitudinale 21 dans laquelle est prévue de coulisser une partie du talon 8 du dispositif de fermeture 6 comme expliqué plus loin.Such a box 1 finally comprises in the example shown two longitudinal rails 20 secured respectively to the end of the two longitudinal walls constituting the two branches of the U. These longitudinal rails 20 each comprise a longitudinal slide 21 in which is provided to slide a portion of the heel 8 of the closure device 6 as explained below.

Une telle structure - en tant que structure générale - n'est pas en soi constitutive de l'invention, étant connue de l'homme du métier.Such a structure - as a general structure - is not in itself constitutive of the invention, being known to those skilled in the art.

L'invention vise spécialement le dispositif de fermeture 6 de l'extrémité de la première partie 2 du coffre 1 de volet roulant, où se trouve l'évidement 5. Elle vise également le coffre 1 de volet roulant et le volet roulant en ce qu'ils incorporent deux tels dispositifs de fermeture 6.The invention is aimed specifically at the closure device 6 at the end of the first part 2 of the roller shutter box 1, where the recess 5 is located. It also relates to the roller shutter box 1 and the roller shutter in that they incorporate two such closure devices 6.

Un tel dispositif de fermeture 6 est du type comportant une joue 7 et un talon 8. Une telle structure - en tant que structure générale - est décrite dans le document EP-A-0 628 695 , cité plus haut, auquel on se réfère expressément.Such a closure device 6 is of the type comprising a cheek 7 and a heel 8. Such a structure - as a general structure - is described in the document EP-A-0 628 695 cited above, to which we expressly refer.

La joue 7 est de forme complémentaire de celle de la section d'extrémité de l'évidement 5 de la première partie 2 du coffre 1.The cheek 7 is of complementary shape to that of the end section of the recess 5 of the first part 2 of the trunk 1.

La joue 7 comprend des organes d'ancrage 7a dans la première partie du coffre 1, ayant la forme de dents. Elle comporte également une collerette d'appui 7b sur la paroi d'extrémité 4, ayant un contour en U. Les organes d'ancrage 7a et la collerette d'appui 7b sont décalés en direction longitudinale H.The cheek 7 comprises anchoring members 7a in the first part of the trunk 1, having the shape of teeth. It also comprises a support flange 7b on the end wall 4, having a U-shaped contour. The anchoring members 7a and the support flange 7b are offset in the longitudinal direction H.

La joue 7 est apte à être placée dans l'extrémité de l'évidement 5 de la première partie 2 du coffre 1 par un mouvement de coulissement selon une première direction transversale V - verticale si le coffre 1 est dans sa position relative montée ou renversée d'un demi tour. Comme on le verra par la suite, cette direction transversale V est représentée symboliquement par les flèches J sur les figures 3A, 3B, 4A et 4B.The cheek 7 is adapted to be placed in the end of the recess 5 of the first part 2 of the trunk 1 by a sliding movement in a first transverse direction V - vertical if the trunk 1 is in its relative position mounted or reversed half a turn. As will be seen later, this transverse direction V is represented symbolically by the arrows J on the Figures 3A , 3B , 4A and 4B .

La joue 7 est maintenue rigidement dans cette position par le talon 8.The cheek 7 is held rigidly in this position by the heel 8.

Le talon 8, de son côté, a, dans un plan, un corps central 9 et deux oreilles latérales 10 et, dans un plan perpendiculaire au précédent, une plaque avant 11. Dans le plan de la plaque avant 11, le talon 8 comporte avantageusement deux nervures longitudinales 22, respectivement disposées aux deux extrémités latérales de la plaque 11, et qui ont pour fonction de pénétrer dans les deux glissières 21 de la première partie 2 du coffre, respectivement, lorsque le talon est mis en place, comme expliqué plus loin. Il est à noter que les deux nervures 22 s'étendent respectivement dans la direction longitudinale H à partir des oreilles latérales 10 ou sensiblement à partir de celles-ci, sur une partie de la longueur de la plaque avant 11, comme expliqué plus en détail plus loin. Les nervures 22 permettent de renforcer la liaison de l'ensemble joue et talon avec la première partie du coffre 1, et plus particulièrement le blocage de la joue 7 par rapport à la première partie 2 du coffre 1 selon la direction transversale V contribuant à empêcher le dégagement de la joue 7 suivant cette direction transversale V lorsqu'elle en position assemblée ou montée sur le coffre.The heel 8, for its part, has, in one plane, a central body 9 and two lateral lugs 10 and, in a plane perpendicular to the preceding one, a front plate 11. In the plane of the front plate 11, the heel 8 comprises advantageously two longitudinal ribs 22, respectively disposed at the two lateral ends of the plate 11, and whose function is to enter the two slides 21 of the first part 2 of the box, respectively, when the heel is put in place, as explained more far. It should be noted that the two ribs 22 extend respectively in the longitudinal direction H from the lateral lugs 10 or substantially from them, over a portion of the length of the front plate 11, as explained in more detail. further. The ribs 22 strengthen the binding of the cheek and heel assembly with the first part of the trunk 1, and more particularly the locking of the cheek 7 relative to the first part 2 of the trunk 1 in the transverse direction V helping to prevent the clearance of the cheek 7 in this transverse direction V when in the assembled position or mounted on the chest.

Le talon 8 comprend également des organes 8a d'ancrage dans la première partie 2 du coffre 1, en forme de dents.The heel 8 also comprises anchoring members 8a in the first part 2 of the trunk 1, in the form of teeth.

Le talon 8 comprend également des organes de blocage - en forme de saillies - de la joue 7 par rapport à la première partie 2 du coffre 1 selon une direction longitudinale H - horizontale si le coffre 1 est dans sa position relative montée ou renversée d'un demi tour. Cette direction longitudinale H est représentée symboliquement par les flèches T sur les figures 5A et 5B.The heel 8 also comprises locking members - in the form of projections - of the cheek 7 with respect to the first part 2 of the trunk 1 in a longitudinal direction H - horizontal if the trunk 1 is in its relative position raised or reversed by a half turn. This longitudinal direction H is represented symbolically by the arrows T on the Figures 5A and 5B .

Le talon 8 est apte à être mis en place sur la première partie 2 du coffre 1 - après mise en place de la joue 7 - par un mouvement de coulissement selon la direction longitudinale H depuis une position reculée (figures 2A, 2B, 3A, 3B, 4A et 4B) jusqu'à une position avancée (figure 6) où les organes d'ancrage 8a dans la première partie 2 du coffre 1 sont opérants. C'est dans ce mouvement de coulissement selon la direction longitudinale H que les deux nervures 22 décrites plus haut du talon 8 pénètrent respectivement dans les deux glissières 21 de la première partie 2 du coffre 1.The heel 8 is adapted to be placed on the first part 2 of the trunk 1 - after placing the cheek 7 - by a sliding movement in the longitudinal direction H from a retracted position ( Figures 2A , 2B , 3A , 3B , 4A and 4B ) to an advanced position ( figure 6 ) where the anchoring members 8a in the first part 2 of the chest 1 are operative. It is in this sliding movement in the longitudinal direction H that the two ribs 22 described above of the heel 8 penetrate respectively into the two slides 21 of the first part 2 of the trunk 1.

Selon une caractéristique essentielle de l'invention, la joue 7 et le talon 8 ne sont pas des pièces distinctes, comme il est décrit dans le document EP-A-0 628 695 , tout au contraire.According to an essential characteristic of the invention, the cheek 7 and the heel 8 are not separate parts, as described in document EP-A-0 628 695 , on the contrary.

En effet, la joue 7 et le talon 8 comportent l'un et l'autre des organes 12, 13 d'assemblage réciproque permanent de manière qu'ils constituent un ensemble assemblé, réalisé, stocké, fourni et mis en place comme tel sur la première partie 2 du coffre 1 de volet roulant.Indeed, the cheek 7 and the heel 8 comprise one and the other of the organs 12, 13 of permanent reciprocal assembly so that they constitute an assembly assembled, made, stored, supplied and set up as such on the first part 2 of the trunk 1 of shutter.

Selon la réalisation représentée, les organes d'assemblage réciproque permanent comportent deux lumières 12 du talon 8 dans lesquelles sont emprisonnées tout en pouvant coulisser selon la direction longitudinale H deux excroissances 13 conjuguées de la joue 7.According to the embodiment shown, the permanent reciprocal assembly members comprise two slots 12 of the heel 8 in which are imprisoned while being able to slide in the longitudinal direction H two mutually-grown protuberances 13 of the cheek 7.

Les lumières 12 sont ménagées vers les parties latérales de la plaque avant 11 du talon 8.The lights 12 are formed towards the lateral parts of the front plate 11 of the heel 8.

Elles s'étendent en direction longitudinale H.They extend in the longitudinal direction H.

Les excroissances 13 s'étendent à partir du bord droit 14 de la joue 7 et de ses parties latérales selon la première direction transversale V.The protuberances 13 extend from the right edge 14 of the cheek 7 and its lateral parts in the first transverse direction V.

Il est prévu que les excroissances 13 comportent une saillie terminale 13a (figures 1A et 1B) avantageusement élastique de type clip, définissant un assemblage de la joue 7 et du talon 8 par clipage, empêchant le désassemblement intempestif des excroissances 13 et des lumières 12, c'est-à-dire de la joue 7 et du talon 8. C'est pour cela que la joue 7 et le talon 8 constituent un ensemble assemblé, réalisé, comme tel et qui ensuite - toujours en restant assemblé - peut être stocké, fourni au client ou au monteur et mis en place sur la première partie 2 du coffre 1 du volet roulant tout en restant assemblé.It is expected that the protuberances 13 comprise a terminal projection 13a ( Figures 1A and 1B ) advantageously elastic clip-type, defining an assembly of the cheek 7 and the heel 8 by clipping, preventing the inadvertent disassembly of the protrusions 13 and the lights 12, that is to say the cheek 7 and the heel 8. C For this reason, the cheek 7 and the heel 8 constitute an assembled assembly, produced as such and which then - still being assembled - can be stored, supplied to the customer or the assembler and put in place on the first part 2 of the chest 1 of the shutter while remaining assembled.

La joue 7 et le talon 8 sont réalisés en matière plastique, notamment injectée.The cheek 7 and the heel 8 are made of plastic material, in particular injected.

L'assemblage excroissance 13 - lumière 12 peut être réalisé par enfoncement à force, la saillie terminale 13a de l'excroissance 13 ayant par exemple des chants inclinés, et étant avantageusement élastique de type clip comme indiqué plus haut, pour faciliter l'introduction de l'excroissance 13 dans la lumière 12 tout en empêchant son retrait après mise en place.The protrusion assembly 13-light 12 can be achieved by force-fitting, the terminal projection 13a of the protrusion 13 having for example inclined edges, and being advantageously elastic clip-type as indicated above, to facilitate the introduction of the protrusion 13 in the lumen 12 while preventing its withdrawal after placement.

Bien entendu, le positionnement des lumières 12 et des excroissances 13 conjuguées, respectivement sur le talon 8 et la joue 7, d'une part, et la course de coulissement des excroissances 13 conjuguées dans les lumières 12, d'autre part, sont adaptés aux nécessités du montage du dispositif 6 puis de sa fixation sur la première partie 2 du coffre 1.Of course, the positioning of the lumens 12 and excrescences 13 conjugate, respectively on the heel 8 and the cheek 7, on the one hand, and the sliding stroke of the excrescences 13 conjugated in the slots 12, on the other hand, are adapted to the necessities of mounting the device 6 and its attachment to the first part 2 of the box 1.

Il s'agit en effet tout d'abord, qu'en position reculée du talon 8, le talon 8 n'interfère pas avec la première partie 2 du coffre 1 lors de la mise en place de la joue 7 dans l'évidement 5 de la première partie 2 du coffre 1. C'est à dire en particulier que l'extrémité des nervures 22, opposées à celle voisine des oreilles latérales 10, doit être dans cette position reculée du talon 8 en retrait et en face de l'entrée des glissières 21 de la première partie 2 du coffre 1, entrée qui est située dans le plan d'une paroi d'extrémité 4 du coffre 1, comme représenté sur la figure 5A. Chaque nervure a une section de préférence complémentaire de celle de la glissière dans laquelle elle doit coulisser librement.It is in fact first of all, that in the retracted position of the heel 8, the heel 8 does not interfere with the first part 2 of the trunk 1 when the cheek 7 is placed in the recess 5 of the first part 2 of the trunk 1. That is to say in particular that the end of the ribs 22, opposite to that adjacent the side lugs 10, must be in this retracted position of the heel 8 recessed and in front of the entry of the slides 21 of the first part 2 of the trunk 1, which entry is located in the plane of an end wall 4 of the trunk 1, as shown in FIG. Figure 5A . Each rib has a section preferably complementary to that of the slide in which it must slide freely.

Il s'agit ensuite, qu'en position avancée du talon 8, le talon 8 bloque la joue 7 par rapport à la première partie 2 au coffre 1, son corps 9 et ses oreilles 10 venant sensiblement dans le plan principal de la joue 7, et les nervures 22 du talon 8 venant avantageusement dans les glissières de la première partie 2 du coffre 1.It is then that, in the advanced position of the heel 8, the heel 8 blocks the cheek 7 relative to the first part 2 to the chest 1, its body 9 and its lugs 10 coming substantially in the main plane of the cheek 7 , and the ribs 22 of the heel 8 advantageously in the slides of the first part 2 of the trunk 1.

Le procédé de montage du coffre 1 de volet roulant comprend la succession des étapes suivantes exposées ci-après.The method of mounting the trunk 1 of the shutter comprises the succession of the following steps described below.

Tout d'abord, on réalise préalablement la première partie 2 du coffre 1.Firstly, the first part 2 of the box 1 is first made.

On réalise également des joues 7 et des talons 8 et on les assemble comme il a été exposé plus haut, cet assemblage étant symbolisé par la flèche A sur les figures 1A et 1B.Cheeks 7 and heels 8 are also made and assembled as explained above, this assembly being symbolized by the arrow A on the Figures 1A and 1B .

Puis, on positionne les talons 8 sur les joues 7 en position reculée.Then, we position the heels 8 on the cheeks 7 in the retracted position.

Ainsi, on dispose d'une première partie 2 et d'une seconde partie 6, les talons 8 étant assemblés aux joues 7 en position reculée (figures 2A et 2B).Thus, there is a first portion 2 and a second portion 6, the heels 8 being assembled to the cheeks 7 in the retracted position ( Figures 2A and 2B ).

Les dispositifs de fermeture 6 étant dans cette situation, on met en place les deux joues 7 dans les deux évidements 5 de la première partie 2 par un mouvement de coulissement selon une première direction transversale, jusqu'à ce que les joues 7 viennent coopérer étroitement avec la première partie 2. Ces étapes sont représentées sur les figures 3A et 3B - présentation de la joue 7 talon 8 en face de l'évidement 5 l'extrémité de la première partie 2 du corps - et les figures 4A et 4B - engagement de la joue 7 talon 8 dans l'évidement 5 de l'extrémité de la première partie 2 du coffre 1 -. Les flèches J symbolisent le mouvement de coulissement de la joue 7 selon la première direction transversale V.The closure devices 6 being in this situation, the two cheeks 7 are placed in the two recesses 5 of the first part 2 by a sliding movement in a first transverse direction, until the cheeks 7 come to cooperate closely. with the first part 2. These steps are represented on the Figures 3A and 3B - presentation of the cheek 7 heel 8 in front of the recess 5 the end of the first part 2 of the body - and the Figures 4A and 4B - Engagement of the cheek 7 heel 8 in the recess 5 of the end of the first part 2 of the trunk 1 -. The arrows J symbolize the sliding movement of the cheek 7 in the first transverse direction V.

Puis, dans cette situation, on fait coulisser les talons 8 par rapport aux joues 7 par un mouvement de coulissement selon la direction longitudinale depuis la position reculée jusqu'à la position avancée. Cette étape est représentée par les figures 5A et 5B, les flèches T symbolisant le mouvement de coulissement du talon 8 selon la direction longitudinale H.Then, in this situation, the heels 8 are slid with respect to the cheeks 7 by a sliding movement in the longitudinal direction from the retracted position to the advanced position. This step is represented by Figures 5A and 5B the arrows T symbolizing the sliding movement of the heel 8 in the longitudinal direction H.

Une fois ces étapes réalisées on se trouve dans la situation représentée par la figure 6, le dispositif de fermeture 6 précédemment décrit étant monté sur la première partie 2 du coffre 1 et la joue 7 empêchée d'en être séparée par le talon 8.Once these steps have been completed, we are in the situation represented by the figure 6 , the closure device 6 previously described being mounted on the first part 2 of the trunk 1 and the cheek 7 prevented from being separated by the heel 8.
