• each bracket 12 ' is provided to be engaged or housed in a notch or slot of the shutter box which is not in a cheek.
• the method of mounting the shutter 10 'in the opening comprises the steps detailed in Figure 15.
• the slides 6 'are firstly placed on the opposite amounts of the opening.
• the slides 6 'are generally pre-drilled in the factory, is inserted in these pre-drilled holes fixing screws (step El).
• the two brackets 12 ' are connected by a bottom plate 13' (step E3) so as to guarantee a constant spacing between the two brackets 12 'and easy pinning of the box 11' on the brackets 12B of the brackets 12 '(step E4 ).
• the bottom plate is attached to the brackets at the factory.
• the box 11 ' is then plugged into the brackets 12', by inserting the tabs 12B of the brackets into the slots 1 15 'of the jets 1 1 1' of the box 11 '.
• the box 1 1 ' is integral with the slides 6' and can be fixed on the frame or the lintel of the opening by screws, for example (step E5).
• the faces of the box 11 'and the flanges 11, 112' are made of aluminum.
• the shutter can be motorized or manually controlled.
• the shape of the box and the cheeks is not limited to that shown in the figures, and pentagonal or oval shapes are possible.
• the installation system as described above can be applied in general to all occultation systems (sunshade, Venetian blind, outdoor blind ). It can also be applied to a bay unit (conventionally comprising a roller shutter fixed on a joinery) to facilitate removal and therefore maintenance of the roller shutter after the "monobloc" installation of the assembly.
• the bottom plate can also be replaced by any other section, for example the frame of the carpentry in the case of a bay block.
• the location of the safe is not limited to the one shown above.
• the trunk can be surface-mounted (that is to say on the outside of the facade) or indoors (in the case of an inner-door block).
• this installation technique (or mounting) and disassembly of a concealment system is easy and quick to implement, and, overall, reduces the number of operations to be performed.
• This technique also makes it possible to reduce the risks that these operations usually generate on a construction site.
• this technique minimizes the risk of misplacement of the concealment device with respect to the surface to be concealed, and facilitates maintenance operations.
