Description

VOLET ORIENTABLE D ' UN DISPOSITIF DE COUVERTURE CONTROLLED SHUTTER OF A COVERING DEVICE
La présente invention concerne un volet orientable destiné à la réalisation d'un dispositif de couverture d'une surface extérieure ou d'un bâtiment, et permettant d'assurer une protection variable suivant les conditions climatiques. On connaît les dispositifs de couverture se présentant sous forme de toits roulants escamotables ou de rideaux enroulables.The present invention relates to an adjustable flap for the realization of a device for covering an outer surface or a building, and to ensure a variable protection according to the weather conditions. Roofing devices are known in the form of retractable rolling roofs or roll-up curtains.
Bien qu'ils offrent une conception susceptible d'être étanche en position fermée, ces premiers dispositifs de l'art antérieur ne permettent pas d'ajuster les quantités d'ombre et de soleil désirées sur la surface couverte. On connaît aussi les dispositifs à volets orientables par rotation, tels les stores vénitiens, lesdits volets se chevauchant les uns sur les autres en position fermée. Ces deuxièmes dispositifs de l'art antérieur permettent de répartir et d'ajuster la quantité d'ombre et de soleil désirée sur la surface couverte. Toutefois, le chevauchement des volets n'autorise pas une étanchéité efficace contre la pluie en position fermée, plus particulièrement dans le cas d'une toiture horizontale.Although they offer a design that can be sealed in the closed position, these first devices of the prior art do not allow to adjust the amount of shade and sun desired on the covered surface. Rotation-orientable flap devices are also known, such as venetian blinds, said shutters overlapping one another in the closed position. These second devices of the prior art allow to distribute and adjust the amount of shade and sun desired on the covered surface. However, the overlap of the shutters does not allow effective sealing against rain in the closed position, especially in the case of a horizontal roof.
Le brevet français publié sous la référence FR-2.676.079 au nom du même déposant que la présente invention, propose un dispositif de couverture offrant une étanchéité efficace contre les intempéries en position fermée tout en permettant un ajustement et une répartition de la quantité d'ombre et de soleil. Pour ce faire, ce dispositif de couverture de l'art antérieur est composé de volets orientables dont les profils extrêmes s'imbriquent en position fermée, l'un des profils formant un canal et l'autre une chicane. Ainsi, le changement d'orientation des volets par rapport à un axe de rotation permet un ajustement et une répartition des quantités d'ombre et de soleil sur la surface couverte.The French patent published under the reference FR-2,676,079 in the name of the same applicant as the present invention, provides a cover device offering an effective seal against weather in closed position while allowing adjustment and a distribution of the amount of shadow and sun. To do this, this cover device of the prior art is composed of adjustable flaps whose extreme profiles interlock in the closed position, one of the profiles forming a channel and the other a baffle. Thus, the change of orientation of the flaps relative to an axis of rotation allows an adjustment and a distribution of the amounts of shadow and sun on the covered surface.
Et, lorsque les volets sont en position fermée, l'imbrication du profil extérieur en chicane dans le profil extérieur en canal empêche le passage de l'eau, chaque profil formant canal permettant d'évacuer l'eau vers l'extérieur du dispositif de couverture.And, when the flaps are in the closed position, the imbrication of the baffled outer profile in the channel outer profile prevents the passage of water, each profile forming a channel for discharging the water to the outside of the device. blanket.
Ce dispositif de couverture de l'art antérieur a un inconvénient majeur : les volets utilisés sont obligatoirement opaques afin de pouvoir réaliser une protection efficace et totale contre le soleil.This cover device of the prior art has a major disadvantage: the shutters used are necessarily opaque in order to achieve effective and total protection against the sun.
Dans le cas de conditions météorologiques pluvieuses ou menaçantes, on cherche généralement à se protéger des averses et à prévenir les risques de pluie en fermant ledit dispositif de couverture. Les volets opaques se trouvent alors en position fermée, empêchant tout rayon lumineux de pénétrer à travers ledit dispositif.In the case of rainy or threatening weather conditions, it is generally sought to protect oneself from showers and to prevent the risk of rain by closing said roofing device. The opaque flaps are then in the closed position, preventing any light beam from penetrating through said device.
Or, dans le cas d'un temps couvert ou à la tombée du jour par exemple, il peut être intéressant que le dispositif de couverture en position fermée laisse pénétrer les rayons lumineux avant d'avoir recours à un quelconque éclairage. Aussi, la présente invention vise à pallier les inconvénients de l'art antérieur en proposant une conception d'un volet orientable destiné à la réalisation d'un dispositif de couverture permettant d'assurer une protection contre les intempéries indépendamment d'une protection contre la lumière. A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un volet orientable, destiné à la réalisation d'un dispositif de couverture, comprenant un profilé en matériau translucide de longueur Ll et d'axe longitudinal Al autour duquel ledit volet est articulé en rotation, et au moins une lame en matériau opaque de longueur L2, L2 au plus égale à Ll, et d'axe longitudinal A2, A2 parallèle à Al, autour duquel ladite lame est articulée en rotation par rapport audit volet. Ainsi, le volet orientable selon la présente invention est susceptible de réaliser une protection maximale contre les rayons lumineux dans une première position extrême, une protection variable contre les rayons lumineux dans des positions intermédiaires, et une protection étanche contre la pluie mais laissant passer la lumière dans une seconde position extrême.However, in the case of cloudy weather or at dusk for example, it may be interesting that the cover device in the closed position allows light rays to penetrate before using any lighting. Also, the present invention aims to overcome the drawbacks of the prior art by proposing a design of an adjustable flap for the realization of a cover device to ensure protection against the weather regardless of protection against light. For this purpose, the subject of the invention is an orientable flap, intended for producing a covering device, comprising a section made of translucent material of length L1 and of longitudinal axis A1 around which said flap is articulated in rotation, and at least one blade of opaque material of length L2, L2 at most equal to L1, and of longitudinal axis A2, A2 parallel to A1, around which said blade is articulated in rotation relative to said flap. Thus, the steerable flap according to the present invention is capable of achieving maximum protection against light rays in a first extreme position, a variable protection against light rays in intermediate positions, and a waterproof protection against rain but allowing light to pass through. in a second extreme position.
D'autres caractéristiques et avantages ressortiront de la description qui va suivre de l'invention, description donnée à titre d'exemple uniquement, en regard des dessins annexés sur lesquels :Other features and advantages will become apparent from the following description of the invention, a description given by way of example only, with reference to the appended drawings in which:
- les figures IA à IC représentent schématiquement un synoptique du fonctionnement d'un volet orientable vu de profil dans un premier mode de réalisation selon l'invention,FIGS. 1A to 1C show diagrammatically a block diagram of the operation of an orientable flap seen in profile in a first embodiment according to the invention,
- les figures 2A à 2D représentent schématiquement un synoptique du fonctionnement d'un volet orientable vu de profil dans un deuxième mode de réalisation selon l'invention, - les figures 3 et 4 représentent en perspective, respectivement dans une position translucide et dans une position opaque, un dispositif de couverture réalisé à l'aide d'un volet orientable selon l'invention.FIGS. 2A to 2D show schematically a block diagram of the operation of an orientable flap seen in profile in a second embodiment according to the invention; FIGS. 3 and 4 represent in perspective, respectively in a translucent position and in a position opaque, a covering device made using an adjustable flap according to the invention.
La présente invention est relative à un volet orientable, et plus particulièrement à un volet destiné à la réalisation d'un dispositif de couverture d'une surface extérieure, telle une terrasse de maison d'habitation, de café, d'avancée de magasin, ou aussi pour une toiture de véranda, de serre ou pour l'agrément d'espaces publics.The present invention relates to an orientable flap, and more particularly to a flap intended for the realization of a device for covering an external surface, such as a terrace of a dwelling house, a café, a storefront, or also for a veranda roof, greenhouse or for the approval of public spaces.
Bien entendu, l'invention couvre aussi toute autre application du volet orientable selon l'invention, pour la réalisation d'une couverture ou pour une autre utilisation. Selon un premier avantage vis à vis des dispositifs de l'art antérieur, le volet orientable 10 selon l'invention offre une conception permettant d'ajuster progressivement et de façon homogène la quantité de lumière et d'ombre sur la surface couverte en modifiant l'orientation dudit volet entre deux positions extrêmes : une première position dans laquelle ledit volet est sensiblement translucide et une seconde position dans laquelle ledit volet est sensiblement opaque.Of course, the invention also covers any other application of the adjustable flap according to the invention, for the realization of a cover or for another use. According to a first advantage with respect to the devices of the prior art, the steerable flap 10 according to the invention offers a design making it possible to progressively and homogeneously adjust the amount of light and shadow on the covered surface by modifying the orientation of said flap between two positions extremes: a first position in which said flap is substantially translucent and a second position in which said flap is substantially opaque.
A cet effet, ledit volet 10 comprend un profilé 12 en matériau translucide de longueur Ll et d'axe longitudinal Al autour duquel ledit volet 10 est articulé en rotation, et au moins une lame 14 en matériau opaque de longueur L2, L2 au plus sensiblement égale à Ll, et d'axe longitudinal AZ1 AZ sensiblement parallèle à Al, autour duquel ladite lame 14 est articulée en rotation par rapport audit volet 10.For this purpose, said flap 10 comprises a profile 12 of translucent material of length L1 and longitudinal axis A1 around which said flap 10 is articulated in rotation, and at least one blade 14 of opaque material of length L2, L2 at most substantially equal to L1, and having a longitudinal axis AZ 1 AZ substantially parallel to Al, around which said blade 14 is articulated in rotation relative to said flap 10.
Dans un mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention, la mise en rotation du volet orientable 10 autour de son axe longitudinal Al entraîne une rotation de la lame 14 opaque autour de son axe longitudinal A2 par gravité.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, rotating the pivotable flap 10 about its longitudinal axis A1 causes the blade 14 to turn opaque about its longitudinal axis A2 by gravity.
Bien entendu, il peut aussi être prévu des moyens mécaniques, motorisés ou manuels, pour entraîner en rotation la lame 14 opaque autour de son axe longitudinal A2 et la maintenir dans une position donnée. Le profilé 12 translucide peut être réalisé en polycarbonate, notamment commercialisé sous la marque MAKROLON ®, en polyméthacrylate de méthyle (PMMA), notamment commercialisé sous la marque PLEXIGLAS ®, ou tout autre polymère.Of course, it can also be provided mechanical means, motorized or manual, for rotating the blade 14 opaque around its longitudinal axis A2 and maintain in a given position. The translucent profile 12 may be made of polycarbonate, especially marketed under the trademark MAKROLON®, polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), especially marketed under the brand PLEXIGLAS ®, or any other polymer.
La lame 14 opaque peut être réalisée en matériau plastique opaque, en tôle, en aluminium, ...The opaque blade 14 can be made of opaque plastic material, sheet metal, aluminum, etc.
La mise en rotation du volet orientable 10 peut être engendrée par différents moyens mécaniques, tels qu'un système mécanique comprenant une tringle et une bielle ou une roue excentrée, ou par des moyens motorisés.The rotational flap 10 can be rotated by various mechanical means, such as a mechanical system comprising a rod and a connecting rod or an eccentric wheel, or by motorized means.
Le choix entre ces différents moyens de mise en mouvement d'un volet orientable 10 n'est pas l'objet de la présente invention, et il est donc laissé à l'homme du métier qui possède toutes les connaissances nécessaires pour l'effectuer. Afin de faire varier de manière progressive la protection contre les rayons lumineux, la mise en rotation du volet orientable 10 autour de son axe longitudinal Al entraîne un basculement progressif de ladite lame 14 entre deux positions extrêmes : une position translucide, illustrée en figures IA et 2A, dans laquelle ladite lame laisse passer un maximum de rayons lumineux et une position opaque, illustrée en figures IC et 2D, dans laquelle ladite lame 14 laisse passer un minimum de rayons lumineux.The choice between these different means of setting an adjustable flap 10 is not the object of the present invention, and is therefore left to the skilled person who has all the necessary knowledge to perform it. In order to gradually vary the protection against light rays, the rotation of the pivoting flap 10 about its longitudinal axis A1 causes a progressive tilting of said blade 14 between two extreme positions: a translucent position, illustrated in FIGS. 2A, wherein said blade passes a maximum of light rays and an opaque position, illustrated in FIGS. 1C and 2D, wherein said blade 14 passes a minimum of light rays.
Dans un mode de réalisation préféré, le profilé 12 d'un volet orientable 10 comprend au moins un compartiment 18 de protection sensiblement fermé autour d'au moins une lame 14 afin d'empêcher que de la poussière, des feuilles ou tout autre déchet volant, ne vienne gêner la rotation d'une lame 14 ou rendre le profilé 12 translucide partiellement opaque.In a preferred embodiment, the profile 12 of an orientable flap 10 comprises at least one substantially closed protection compartment 18 around at least one blade 14 in order to prevent dust, leaves or other flying refuse. does not interfere with the rotation of a blade 14 or make the profile 12 translucent partially opaque.
Avantageusement, un compartiment 18 vient de fabrication avec le profilé 12 et présente un volume permettant à la lame 14 de basculer entre les deux positions extrêmes, translucide et opaque.Advantageously, a compartment 18 has been manufactured with the profile 12 and has a volume allowing the blade 14 to switch between the two extreme positions, translucent and opaque.
Plus précisément, la mise en rotation du volet orientable 10 autour de son axe longitudinal Al entraîne une rotation de la lame 14 opaque autour de son axe longitudinal A2 jusqu'à une butée 16 intégrée audit compartiment 18, ladite butée 16 permettant de maintenir ladite lame 14 en position opaque comme illustré sur les figures IC et 2D.More specifically, the rotation of the steerable flap 10 about its longitudinal axis A1 causes a rotation of the opaque blade 14 around its longitudinal axis A2 to a stop 16 integrated in said compartment 18, said stop 16 for holding said blade 14 in opaque position as illustrated in Figures IC and 2D.
Dans un mode de réalisation préféré, un compartiment 18 possède une section sensiblement polygonale et comprend au moins quatre faces sensiblement opposées deux à deux. Ainsi, en position translucide illustrée sur les figures IA et 2A, un compartiment 18 comprend au moins une première face principale 20 sensiblement opposée à une deuxième face principale 22, ainsi qu'au moins une première face latérale 24 sensiblement opposée à une deuxième face latérale 26, lesdites faces latérales (24,26) sensiblement verticales reliant lesdites faces principales (20,22) sensiblement horizontales.In a preferred embodiment, a compartment 18 has a substantially polygonal section and comprises at least four faces substantially opposite in pairs. Thus, in the translucent position illustrated in FIGS. 1A and 2A, a compartment 18 comprises at least a first main face 20 substantially opposite a second main face 22, as well as at least a first lateral face 24 substantially opposite to a second face lateral 26, said lateral faces (24,26) substantially vertical connecting said main faces (20,22) substantially horizontal.
Selon une première variante de réalisation, illustrée sur les figures IA à IC, l'axe longitudinal A2, situé au niveau d'un bord longitudinal 28 de la lame 14 opaque, est rapporté sur la première face principale 20 d'un compartiment 18 du profilé 12 de manière à autoriser le basculement de la lame 14 entre ses deux positions extrêmes.According to a first variant embodiment, illustrated in FIGS. 1A-1C, the longitudinal axis A2 located at a longitudinal edge 28 of the opaque blade 14 is attached to the first main face 20 of a compartment 18 of the section 12 so as to allow the tilting of the blade 14 between its two extreme positions.
Dans cette première variante, la butée 16 permettant de maintenir la lame 14 en position opaque est formée par la première face principale 20 du profilé 12 au niveau de laquelle est rapporté l'axe longitudinal A2 de la lame 14, comme illustré par les figures IA à IC.In this first variant, the stop 16 for holding the blade 14 in an opaque position is formed by the first main face 20 of the profile 12 at which the longitudinal axis A2 of the blade 14 is attached, as illustrated by FIGS. at IC.
Plus précisément, si le volet orientable 10 est mis en rotation selon un sens horaire illustré par les flèches H, respectivement un sens antihoraire, l'agencement des faces (20, 22, 24, 26) et la disposition de l'axe longitudinal A2 d'une lame 14 au niveau de la face principale 20 sont réalisés de manière à libérer la rotation de la lame 14 dans le sens antihoraire, respectivement dans le sens horaire, et sur un secteur angulaire 30 correspondant sensiblement à un quart de tour dans le compartiment 18.More precisely, if the adjustable flap 10 is rotated in a clockwise direction illustrated by the arrows H, respectively counterclockwise, the arrangement of the faces (20, 22, 24, 26) and the arrangement of the longitudinal axis A2 a blade 14 at the main face 20 are made to release the rotation of the blade 14 in the counterclockwise direction, respectively in the clockwise direction, and on an angular sector 30 substantially corresponding to a quarter turn in the compartment 18.
Ainsi, dans la position translucide du volet illustrée en figure IA, la lame 14 opaque est suspendue sensiblement verticalement dans le compartiment 18 par son axe longitudinal A2 de manière à laisser passer un maximum de rayons lumineux.Thus, in the translucent position of the shutter illustrated in Figure IA, the opaque plate 14 is suspended substantially vertically in the compartment 18 by its longitudinal axis A2 so as to let a maximum of light rays.
Lors de la mise en rotation du volet 10 et comme illustré en figure IB, la lame 14 entre en rotation par rapport au compartiment 18. Le premier quart de tour effectué par le volet 10 entraîne une rotation de la lame 14 sur le secteur angulaire 30 correspondant et cela jusqu'à l'appui de la lame 14 sur la butée 16 formée par la première face principale 20. Durant ce premier quart de tour du volet 10, ladite lame 14 demeure sensiblement verticale sous l'effet de la gravité et le volet 10 reste donc sensiblement translucide.When the flap 10 is rotated and as shown in FIG. 1B, the blade 14 rotates relative to the compartment 18. The first quarter turn made by the flap 10 causes the blade 14 to rotate on the angular sector 30 corresponding and that until the support of the blade 14 on the stop 16 formed by the first main face 20. During this first quarter turn of the flap 10, said blade 14 remains substantially vertical under the effect of gravity and the flap 10 remains substantially translucent.
Durant le deuxième quart de tour du volet 10, la lame 14 est bloquée par la buté 16 dans le compartiment 18 et se trouve donc progressivement entraînée d'une position sensiblement verticale à une position sensiblement horizontale, ce qui augmente progressivement la quantité d'ombre fournie par le volet 10 sur la surface couverte. L'opacité maximale du volet 10 est obtenue en fin du deuxième quart de tour quand la lame 14 se trouve maintenue en position sensiblement horizontale par la première face principale 20 formant butée.During the second quarter turn of the flap 10, the blade 14 is blocked by the stop 16 in the compartment 18 and is thus gradually driven from a substantially vertical position to a substantially horizontal position, which gradually increases the amount of shadow provided by Part 10 on the covered area. The maximum opacity of the flap 10 is obtained at the end of the second quarter turn when the blade 14 is kept in a substantially horizontal position by the first main face 20 forming a stop.
Afin de revenir progressivement depuis la position opaque du volet 10 illustrée en figure IC vers la position translucide du volet 10, la rotation du volet 10 doit être effectuée dans le sens inverse de la rotation ayant conduit le volet 10 de sa position translucide vers sa position opaque.In order to gradually return from the opaque position of the flap 10 illustrated in FIG. 1C to the translucent position of the flap 10, the rotation of the flap 10 must be carried out in the opposite direction to the rotation which has led the flap 10 from its translucent position to its position. opaque.
Selon une deuxième variante de réalisation, illustrée sur les figures 2A à 2D, l'axe longitudinal A2 est situé à proximité du centre 32 du profil 34 de la lame 14, et ledit axe longitudinal A2 est rapporté à au moins une distance d adaptée des faces (20, 22, 24, 26) du compartiment 18 du profilé 12 de manière à autoriser le basculement de la lame 14 entre ses deux positions extrêmes.According to a second variant embodiment, illustrated in FIGS. 2A to 2D, the longitudinal axis A2 is situated close to the center 32 of the profile 34 of the blade 14, and the said longitudinal axis A2 is related to at least a distance d adapted from faces (20, 22, 24, 26) of the compartment 18 of the section 12 so as to allow the tilting of the blade 14 between its two extreme positions.
L'axe longitudinal A2 de la lame 14 étant pris au centre 32 de son profil 34, la distance d est sensiblement supérieure au rayon r du cylindre, illustré en figure 2A, permettant à la lame 14 de faire un tour complet sur elle-même autour de son axe longitudinal A2. Dans cette deuxième variante, la butée 16 permettant de maintenir la lame 14 en position opaque est formée par au moins un ergot 38 porté par au moins une des faces latérales (24, 26) du compartiment 18 du profilé 12. Plus précisément, si le volet orientable 10 est mis en rotation selon un sens horaire illustré par les flèches H, respectivement un sens antihoraire, l'agencement des faces (20, 22, 24, 26) et la disposition de l'axe longitudinal A2 d'une lame 14 dans le compartiment 18 formé par les faces (20, 22, 24, 26) sont réalisés de manière à libérer la rotation de la lame 14 dans le sens horaire et antihoraire sur deux secteurs angulaires 36 correspondant sensiblement à un quart de tour dans le compartiment 18.The longitudinal axis A2 of the blade 14 being taken at the center 32 of its profile 34, the distance d is substantially greater than the radius r of the cylinder, illustrated in FIG. 2A, allowing the blade 14 to make a complete turn on itself. around its longitudinal axis A2. In this second variant, the stop 16 making it possible to hold the blade 14 in the opaque position is formed by at least one lug 38 carried by at least one of the lateral faces (24, 26) of the compartment 18 of the section 12. More precisely, if the adjustable flap 10 is rotated in a clockwise direction illustrated by the arrows H, respectively counterclockwise, the arrangement of the faces (20, 22, 24, 26) and the arrangement of the longitudinal axis A2 of a blade 14 in the compartment 18 formed by the faces (20, 22, 24, 26) are made to release the rotation of the blade 14 in the clockwise and counterclockwise direction on two angular sectors 36 corresponding substantially to a quarter turn in compartment 18.
Ainsi, dans la position translucide du volet illustrée en figure 2A, la lame 14 opaque est suspendue sensiblement verticalement dans le compartiment 18 par son axe longitudinal A2 de manière à laisser passer un maximum de rayons lumineux.Thus, in the translucent position of the shutter illustrated in FIG. 2A, the opaque plate 14 is suspended substantially vertically in the compartment 18 by its longitudinal axis A2 so as to let a maximum of light rays pass.
Lors de la mise en rotation du volet 10 et comme illustré en figure 2B, la lame 14 entre en rotation par rapport au compartiment 18. Le premier quart de tour effectué par le volet 10 entraîne une rotation de la lame 14 sur le secteur angulaire 36 correspondant et cela jusqu'à l'appui de la lame 14 sur la butée 16 formée par l'ergot 38 porté par l'une des faces latérales (24, 26) du compartiment 18.When the flap 10 is rotated and as illustrated in FIG. 2B, the blade 14 rotates relative to the compartment 18. The first quarter turn made by the flap 10 causes the blade 14 to rotate on the angular sector 36 corresponding and that until the support of the blade 14 on the stop 16 formed by the pin 38 carried by one of the side faces (24, 26) of the compartment 18.
Durant ce premier quart de tour du volet 10, ladite lame 14 demeure sensiblement verticale sous l'effet de la gravité et le volet 10 reste donc sensiblement translucide.During this first quarter turn of the flap 10, said blade 14 remains substantially vertical under the effect of gravity and the flap 10 remains substantially translucent.
Durant le deuxième quart de tour du volet 10, et comme illustré en figure ZC, la lame 14 est bloquée par la butée 16 dans le compartiment 18 et se trouve donc progressivement entraînée d'une position sensiblement verticale à une position sensiblement horizontale, ce qui augmente progressivement la quantité d'ombre fournie par le volet 10 sur la surface couverte.During the second quarter turn of the flap 10, and as illustrated in FIG. ZC, the blade 14 is blocked by the abutment 16 in the compartment 18 and is therefore gradually driven from a substantially vertical position to a substantially horizontal position, which gradually increases the amount of shade provided by the flap 10 on the covered surface.
L'opacité maximale du volet 10 est obtenue en fin du deuxième quart de tour quand la lame 14 se trouve maintenue en position sensiblement horizontale par l'ergot 38 porté par l'une des faces latérales (24, 26). Afin de revenir progressivement depuis la position opaque du volet 10 illustrée en figure 2D vers la position translucide du volet 10, la rotation du volet 10 doit être effectuée dans le sens inverse de la rotation ayant conduit le volet 10 de sa position translucide vers sa position opaque. Afin de favoriser le basculement d'une lame 14 entre les positions opaque et translucide, et comme illustré sur les figures IA à IC, au moins une portion 40 du profil 34 de ladite lame 14 est incurvée de manière à éloigner le centre de gravité de ladite lame 14 de son profil 34. Toujours dans le but de favoriser le basculement d'une lame 14 entre les positions opaque et translucide, et comme illustré sur les figures 2 A à 2D, au moins un bord 28 de ladite lame 14 comprend un contrepoids 42 de manière à éloigner le centre de gravité de ladite lame 14 de son profil 34. Avantageusement, et comme illustré sur les différentes figures, un volet orientable 10 comprend au moins deux lames 14 opaques afin de multiplier sa largeur de protection.The maximum opacity of the flap 10 is obtained at the end of the second quarter turn when the blade 14 is held in a substantially horizontal position by the lug 38 carried by one of the lateral faces (24, 26). In order to gradually return from the opaque position of the flap 10 illustrated in FIG. 2D to the translucent position of the flap 10, the rotation of the flap 10 must be carried out in the opposite direction to the rotation which has led the flap 10 from its translucent position to its position. opaque. In order to promote the tilting of a blade 14 between the opaque and translucent positions, and as illustrated in FIGS. 1A-1C, at least one portion 40 of the profile 34 of said blade 14 is curved so as to distance the center of gravity from said blade 14 of its profile 34. Still in order to promote the tilting of a blade 14 between the opaque and translucent positions, and as shown in Figures 2A to 2D, at least one edge 28 of said blade 14 comprises a counterweight 42 so as to distance the center of gravity of said blade 14 from its profile 34. Advantageously, and as illustrated in the various figures, an adjustable flap 10 comprises at least two blades 14 opaque to multiply its protection width.
Dans le cas où un volet 10 comprend au moins deux lames 14, ledit volet orientable 10 peut comprendre au moins un compartiment 18 de protection pour chaque lame 14, une nervure 44 venant séparer deux compartiments 18 adjacents d'un même volet orientable 10. Ladite nervure 44 fait office de faces latérales (24,26) desdits compartiments 18 et elle permet simultanément de rigidifier le profilé 12 formant ledit volet 10.In the case where a flap 10 comprises at least two blades 14, said steerable flap 10 may comprise at least one protective compartment 18 for each blade 14, a rib 44 coming to separate two adjacent compartments 18 of the same steerable flap 10. Said rib 44 acts as side faces (24,26) of said compartments 18 and simultaneously allows to stiffen the profile 12 forming said flap 10.
Le volet orientable 10 selon l'invention est destiné à la réalisation d'un dispositif de couverture 50 d'une surface extérieure, telle une terrasse de maison d'habitation, de café, d'avancée de magasin, ou aussi pour une toiture de véranda, de serre ou pour l'agrément d'espaces publics.The steerable flap 10 according to the invention is intended for the realization of a covering device 50 of an outer surface, such as a terrace of a dwelling house, a café, a storefront, or also for a roof of conservatory, greenhouse or for the approval of public spaces.
Un tel dispositif de couverture 50 est représenté schématiquement sur les figures 3 et 4, respectivement en position fermée translucide et en position opaque. Un dispositif de couverture 50 comprend des volets 10 en rotation autour de leur axes longitudinaux Al, lesdits axes Al étant rapportés sur un cadre porteur 52 au niveau de chaque extrémité des profilés 12 formant lesdits volets 10. Lesdits volets 10 sont montés parallèles sur ledit cadre porteur 52 et espacés d'une même distance appropriée pour former une couverture sensiblement continue dans leur position translucide.Such a covering device 50 is shown schematically in FIGS. 3 and 4, respectively in the translucent closed position and in the opaque position. A covering device 50 comprises flaps 10 rotating about their longitudinal axes Al, said Al axes being attached to a support frame 52 at each end of the profiles 12 forming said flaps 10. Said flaps 10 are mounted parallel to said frame carrier 52 and spaced the same distance appropriately to form a substantially continuous cover in their translucent position.
Un système de commande, non illustré, à bielles ou à roues excentrées est généralement prévu afin d'entraîner simultanément en rotation tous les volets 10 formant ledit dispositif de couverture 50. Ainsi, l'ensemble des volets 10 peut être mis en rotation et arrêté dans toutes les positions situées entre la position fermée translucide illustrée en figure 3 dans laquelle les lames 14 desdits volets 10 sont sensiblement verticales, et la position opaque illustrée en figure 4 dans laquelle les lames 14 desdits volets 10 sont sensiblement horizontales. On constate que le volet orientable 10 selon l'invention permet bien la réalisation d'un dispositif de couverture permettant d'ajuster progressivement et de façon homogène la quantité de lumière et d'ombre sur la surface couverte en modifiant l'orientation desdits volets entre leurs deux positions translucide et opaque. Selon un deuxième avantage vis-à-vis des dispositifs de l'art antérieur, un volet orientable 10 selon l'invention est susceptible d'assurer une protection étanche contre les intempéries indépendamment d'une protection contre la lumière. Ce mode de réalisation amélioré est illustré sur les figures 3 et 4. Selon ce mode de réalisation amélioré, les extrémités avant 54 et arrière 56 d'un profilé 12 d'un volet 10 s'imbriquent, l'extrémité avant 54 formant chicane et l'extrémité arrière 56 formant canal pour évacuer l'eau.A control system, not illustrated, with connecting rods or eccentric wheels is generally provided to simultaneously drive in rotation all the flaps 10 forming said cover device 50. Thus, the set of flaps 10 can be rotated and stopped in all the positions between the closed translucent position shown in Figure 3 in which the blades 14 of said flaps 10 are substantially vertical, and the opaque position illustrated in Figure 4 wherein the blades 14 of said flaps 10 are substantially horizontal. It can be seen that the steerable flap 10 according to the invention makes it possible to produce a cover device making it possible to progressively and homogeneously adjust the amount of light and shadow on the covered surface by modifying the orientation of said flaps between their two positions translucent and opaque. According to a second advantage vis-à-vis the devices of the prior art, an adjustable flap 10 according to the invention is likely to provide weathertight protection independently of a protection against light. This improved embodiment is illustrated in FIGS. 3 and 4. According to this improved embodiment, the front ends 54 and rear 56 of a profile 12 of a flap 10 interlock, the front end 54 forming a chicane and the rear end 56 forming channel to evacuate the water.
Ainsi, lorsque les volets 10 sont en position fermée translucide, l'imbrication de l'extrémité avant 54 en chicane dans l'extrémité arrière 56 en canal empêche le passage de l'eau sous la couverture ainsi réalisée. Avantageusement, le cadre porteur 52 comprend une gouttière 58 en forme de U en dessous de chaque extrémité arrière 56 d'un profilé 12 d'un volet 10 afin de recueillir et d'évacuer l'eau vers l'extérieur du dispositif de couverture. Des moyens d'étanchéité, tel des joints, peuvent aussi être prévus entre les extrémités avant 54 et arrière 56 des profilés 12.Thus, when the flaps 10 are in the translucent closed position, the interleaving of the front end 54 in a baffle in the rear channel end 56 prevents the passage of water under the cover thus produced. Advantageously, the carrier frame 52 comprises a U-shaped channel 58 below each rear end 56 of a section 12 of a flap 10 in order to collect and discharge the water to the outside of the cover device. Sealing means, such as seals, can also be provided between the front ends 54 and rear 56 of the profiles 12.
Tel que l'illustre la figure 3, un volet orientable 10 translucide et en position translucide comprenant des lames 14 opaques en position sensiblement verticale, un maximum de rayons lumineux traverse le dispositif de couverture 50. Par contre, étant donné que les extrémités avant 54 et les extrémités arrière 56 des profilés 12 sont imbriquées, la protection contre la pluie est assurée. As illustrated in FIG. 3, a translucent and translucent translucent flap 14 comprising opaque slats in a substantially vertical position, a maximum of light rays passes through the covering device 50. On the other hand, since the front ends 54 and the rear ends 56 of the profiles 12 are interleaved, protection against rain is ensured.
