DOMAINE TECHNIQUETECHNICAL AREA

La présente invention concerne le domaine technique des volets coulissants pour fenêtre, porte ou porte-fenêtre.The present invention relates to the technical field of sliding shutters for windows, doors or French windows.

ETAT ANTERIEUR DE LA TECHNIQUEPRIOR STATE OF THE ART

Il est connu de l'état de la technique un système de volet comprenant un châssis sur lequel sont montés un ou deux panneaux côte à côte et avec capacité de coulissement, divulguée par exemple dans US6213187B1 ou FR2970728 .It is known from the state of the art a shutter system comprising a frame on which one or two panels are mounted side by side and with sliding capacity, disclosed for example in US6213187B1 or FR2970728 .

Cependant, en pratique, le montage et l'installation de ces systèmes de volets nécessite l'intervention d'un professionnel qui fabrique et assemble le châssis directement sur le chantier ou sur le mur, et qui installe ensuite les panneaux coulissants.However, in practice, the assembly and installation of these shutter systems requires the intervention of a professional who manufactures and assembles the frame directly on the site or on the wall, and who then installs the sliding panels.

Le montage et l'installation sont complexes et longs, et nécessitent des compétences et un savoir-faire technique particuliers.Assembly and installation are complex and time-consuming, and require special skills and technical know-how.

EXPOSE DE L'INVENTIONSTATEMENT OF THE INVENTION

L'un des buts de l'invention est de fournir un système de volet coulissant dont le montage est simple et rapide, et qui peut être effectué directement par un utilisateur particulier non professionnel.One of the objects of the invention is to provide a sliding shutter system, the assembly of which is simple and rapid, and which can be carried out directly by a particular non-professional user.

Un autre objectif de l'invention est de fournir un volet coulissant dont l'esthétique générale est améliorée.Another object of the invention is to provide a sliding shutter whose general aesthetics are improved.

A cet effet, il a été mis au point un système de volet coulissant remarquable en ce qu'il comprend un ensemble pré-monté intégrant un châssis et au moins un panneau coulissant. Le châssis comprend au moins un montant latéral prolongé en partie supérieure par une traverse. Le montant latéral comprend des agencements pour sa fixation sur un mur de manière adjacente à une embrasure. Le panneau est monté sur le châssis avec capacité de coulissement pour adopter une position fermée dans laquelle il recouvre et masque l'ensemble du châssis, une position ouverte dans laquelle il est destiné à libérer l'embrasure tout en masquant le montant latéral, et une position d'installation dans laquelle le panneau est coulissé pour laisser apparaitre les agencements du montant latéral et permettre la fixation du châssis sur un mur.To this end, a sliding shutter system has been developed which is remarkable in that it comprises a pre-mounted assembly integrating a frame and at least one sliding panel. The chassis comprises at least one lateral upright extended at the top by a cross member. The lateral upright includes arrangements for fixing it to a wall adjacent to a doorway. The panel is mounted on the chassis with sliding capacity to adopt a closed position in which it covers and hides the entire chassis, an open position in which it is intended to release the doorway while masking the lateral upright, and an installation position in which the panel is slid to reveal the arrangements of the lateral upright and allow the chassis to be fixed to a wall.

Selon une autre forme de réalisation, le système comprend deux panneaux coulissants, et le châssis comprend au moins deux montants latéraux reliés en partie supérieure par la traverse. Les deux montants latéraux comprennent chacun des agencements pour la fixation desdits montants sur un mur de part et d'autre de l'embrasure. Les panneaux sont montés côte à côte sur le châssis et avec capacité de coulissement pour adopter une position fermée l'un contre l'autre dans laquelle les panneaux recouvrent et masquent l'ensemble du châssis, une position ouverte dans laquelle les panneaux sont éloignés l'un de l'autre tout en masquant les montants latéraux, et des positions d'installation dans lesquelles les panneaux sont coulissés pour laisser apparaitre les agencements des montants et permettre la fixation du châssis sur un mur.According to another embodiment, the system comprises two sliding panels, and the chassis comprises at least two lateral uprights connected in the upper part by the crosspiece. The two lateral uprights each include arrangements for fixing said uprights to a wall on either side of the doorway. The panels are mounted side by side on the frame and with sliding capacity to adopt a closed position against each other in which the panels cover and hide the entire frame, an open position in which the panels are spaced apart. 'one of the other while hiding the side uprights, and installation positions in which the panels are slid to reveal the arrangements of the uprights and allow the chassis to be fixed to a wall.

De cette manière, le système de volet coulissant selon l'invention se présente sous la forme d'un système prêt à poser, dans lequel le châssis est déjà assemblé et le ou les panneaux sont déjà montés sur le châssis. Le système de volet selon l'invention est destiné à être commercialisé directement sous cette forme, et à destination des particuliers. Ces derniers peuvent monter eux-mêmes le système de volet selon l'invention, d'une manière simple et rapide. La fixation du système de volet sur un mur s'effectue par l'intermédiaire d'au moins quatre vis venant s'insérer dans les agencements sous la forme d'orifices ménagés dans les montants latéraux du châssis. De plus, étant donné que le ou les panneaux recouvrent et masquent l'ensemble du châssis en positon fermée, l'esthétique générale du système selon l'invention est améliorée, et le châssis de support et de fixation est invisible.In this way, the sliding shutter system according to the invention is in the form of a ready-to-install system, in which the chassis is already assembled and the panel or panels are already mounted on the chassis. The shutter system according to the invention is intended to be marketed directly in this form, and intended for individuals. The latter can mount the shutter system according to the invention themselves, in a simple and rapid manner. The shutter system is fixed to a wall by means of at least four screws which are inserted into the arrangements in the form of orifices provided in the lateral uprights of the chassis. In addition, since the panel or panels cover and hide the entire chassis in the closed position, the general aesthetics of the system according to the invention is improved, and the support and fixing chassis is invisible.

Pour faciliter la mise en place du système de volet selon l'invention, les deux montants latéraux sont reliés en partie inférieure par une traverse, ladite traverse comprenant deux pieds amovibles et réglables en hauteur par vissage/dévissage.To facilitate the installation of the shutter system according to the invention, the two lateral uprights are connected in the lower part by a cross member, said cross member comprising two removable feet and adjustable in height by screwing / unscrewing.

De cette manière, l'utilisateur pose le châssis avec les deux pieds en appui sur le sol ou sur un rebord de fenêtre par exemple. Le vissage/dévissage des pieds permet d'ajuster la hauteur et l'horizontalité du châssis, et de faciliter le vissage et la fixation du châssis dans le mur. Après fixation du châssis, les pieds sont retirés, il en est de préférence de même de la traverse inférieure qui peut être amovible.In this way, the user places the frame with both feet resting on the ground or on a window sill, for example. The screwing / unscrewing of the feet makes it possible to adjust the height and the horizontality of the chassis, and to facilitate the screwing and fixing of the chassis in the wall. After fixing the chassis, the feet are removed, it is preferably the same for the lower cross member which can be removable.

De préférence, et pour conférer un caractère anti-intrusion optimal au système de volet selon l'invention, chaque panneau comprend des moyens anti-arrachements coopérant avec la traverse supérieure pour interdire une translation des panneaux selon une direction orthogonale auxdits panneaux.Preferably, and to give an optimal anti-intrusion character to the shutter system according to the invention, each panel comprises anti-tearing means cooperating with the upper crosspiece to prevent translation of the panels in a direction orthogonal to said panels.

Selon une forme de réalisation particulière, et pour permettre le coulissement des panneaux, chaque panneau comprend au moins une roulette supérieure fixée au niveau d'une face interne du panneau, la roulette étant agencée pour rouler sur la traverse supérieure.According to a particular embodiment, and to allow the panels to slide, each panel comprises at least one upper caster fixed at an internal face of the panel, the caster being arranged to roll on the upper crossmember.

Avantageusement, chaque panneau comprend au moins une roulette inférieure fixée sous la roulette supérieure et agencée pour rouler sous la traverse en contre-appui de la roulette supérieure, pour améliorer la stabilité des panneaux et le caractère anti-intrusion en bloquant une translation vers le haut du panneau.Advantageously, each panel comprises at least one lower caster fixed under the upper caster and arranged to roll under the cross member against the upper caster, to improve the stability of the panels and the anti-intrusion character by blocking an upward translation of the panel.

De préférence, chaque roulette comprend une échancrure centrale dans laquelle vient se loger un élément en saillie de la traverse supérieure pour former les moyens anti-arrachements.Preferably, each roller comprises a central notch in which is housed an element projecting from the upper cross member to form the anti-tearing means.

Selon une autre forme de réalisation particulière, deux logements tubulaires sont disposés côte à côte et le long de la traverse du châssis. Dans cette configuration, chaque panneau comprend un profilé tubulaire disposé le long de son bord supérieur et en débordement latéral dudit panneau pour venir s'engager en coulissement dans l'un des logements tubulaires, de manière à autoriser le coulissement des panneaux et à former les moyens anti-arrachements interdisant une translation des panneau selon une direction orthogonale auxdits panneaux.According to another particular embodiment, two tubular housings are arranged side by side and along the cross member of the chassis. In this configuration, each panel comprises a tubular profile disposed along its upper edge and projecting laterally from said panel so as to slide into one of the tubular housings, so as to allow the panels to slide and to form the anti-tearing means preventing a translation of the panels in a direction orthogonal to said panels.

Les panneaux peuvent être coulissés manuellement par l'utilisateur final, ou peuvent être motorisés. A cet effet, et selon une forme de réalisation particulière de l'invention, chaque panneau comprend une crémaillère fixée sur la face interne dudit panneau parallèlement à la traverse supérieure, et un moteur électrique est fixé latéralement sur chacun des montants latéraux. Chaque moteur électrique entraine en rotation une roue dentée disposée pour coopérer avec la crémaillère du panneau correspondant.The panels can be manually slid by the end user, or can be motorized. To this end, and according to a particular embodiment of the invention, each panel comprises a rack fixed on the internal face of said panel parallel to the upper cross member, and an electric motor is fixed laterally on each of the lateral uprights. Each electric motor rotates a toothed wheel arranged to cooperate with the rack of the corresponding panel.

De préférence, les moteurs électriques sont fixés sur les montants latéraux avec capacité de translation verticale desdits moteurs, ou au moins des roues dentées, pour permettre le désengagement entre lesdites roues dentées et les crémaillères correspondantes. Cela permet notamment aux panneaux de pouvoir coulisser, en mode débrayé, lorsque les moteurs électriques ne fonctionnent plus, ou qu'ils ne sont plus alimentés en électricité.Preferably, the electric motors are fixed to the lateral uprights with the capacity for vertical translation of said motors, or at least of the gear wheels, to allow disengagement between said gear wheels and the corresponding racks. This allows the panels to be able to slide, in disengaged mode, when the electric motors no longer work, or when they are no longer supplied with electricity.

Les moteurs électriques peuvent être alimentés en électricité en étant branchés par un câble à une source d'électricité, ou bien peuvent être alimentés par une batterie, ou avantageusement par l'énergie solaire. Selon cette dernière configuration, les moteurs électriques sont alimentés par un panneau solaire disposé sur une casquette fixée sur la longueur de la traverse supérieure et adaptée pour couvrir ladite traverse supérieure et la partie supérieure des deux panneaux.Electric motors can be supplied with electricity by being connected by a cable to a source of electricity, or else can be supplied by a battery, or advantageously by solar energy. According to this latter configuration, the electric motors are powered by a solar panel disposed on a cap fixed on the length of the upper cross member and adapted to cover said upper cross member and the upper part of the two panels.

Selon une forme de réalisation particulière du châssis, chaque montant latéral est rendu solidaire d'une traverse inférieure, d'une traverse supérieure et d'un second montant pour former une structure rectangulaire latérale. Les traverses supérieure et inférieure de chaque structure rectangulaire latérale comprennent des patins engagés avec capacité de coulissement dans des rails solidaires de la face interne de chacun des panneaux. Cette configuration permet d'améliorer la stabilité des panneaux, la solidité du châssis, et permet également de pouvoir loger les moteurs électriques à l'intérieur de la structure rectangulaire pour ainsi limiter l'encombrement du système de volets selon l'invention, en limitant notamment son débordement par rapport au mur auquel il est fixé.According to a particular embodiment of the chassis, each lateral upright is made integral with a lower cross member, an upper cross member and a second upright to form a lateral rectangular structure. The upper and lower crosspieces of each lateral rectangular structure include pads engaged with sliding capacity in rails integral with the internal face of each of the panels. This configuration makes it possible to improve the stability of the panels, the solidity of the chassis, and also makes it possible to be able to house the electric motors inside the rectangular structure, thereby limiting the size of the shutter system according to the invention, by limiting including its overflow from the wall to which it is attached.

Le montage et les dimensions des panneaux (2) permettent de masquer et de rendre invisible la totalité du châssis (3) lorsque lesdits panneaux (2) sont en position fermée.With reference to figures let 3, the two lateral rectangular structures (4) are interconnected by an upper crosspiece (6) and by a removable lower crosspiece (7). The two panels (2) that comprise the chassis (3) are mounted on the chassis (3), side by side, and slidingly between a closed position against each other ( Fig. 2 ) and an open position distant from each other ( Fig. 1 ). The mounting and the dimensions of the panels (2) make it possible to hide and make invisible the entire chassis (3) when said panels (2) are in the closed position.

En référence aux figures 3 et 4, les panneaux (2) comprennent chacun, au niveau de la partie supérieure de leur bord longitudinal interne, une roulette supérieure (8) et une roulette inférieure (9), fixées au niveau de la face interne dudit panneau (2). La roulette supérieure (8) est agencée pour rouler sur la traverse supérieure (6) du châssis (3), et la roulette inférieure (9) est agencée pour rouler sous ladite traverse (6) en contre-appui de la roulette supérieure (8). Les roulettes supérieure (8) et inférieure (9) comprennent chacune une échancrure centrale (10) dans laquelle vient se loger un élément en saillie (11) de la traverse supérieure (6) pour former des moyens anti-arrachements interdisant une translation des panneaux (2) selon une direction orthogonale auxdits panneaux (2). L'élément en saillie (11) peut être de tout type, il se présente par exemple sous la forme d'un cordon métallique soudé sur la longueur de la traverse (6).With reference to figures 3 and 4 , the panels (2) each comprise, at the upper part of their internal longitudinal edge, an upper roller (8) and a lower roller (9), fixed at the internal face of said panel (2). The upper caster (8) is arranged to roll on the upper crossmember (6) of the frame (3), and the lower caster (9) is arranged to roll under the said crossmember (6) against the upper caster (8 ). The upper (8) and lower (9) rollers each comprise a central notch (10) in which is housed a projecting element (11) of the upper crosspiece (6) to form anti-tearing means preventing translation of the panels (2) in a direction orthogonal to said panels (2). The projecting element (11) can be of any type, it is for example in the form of a metal bead welded along the length of the crosspiece (6).

Les roulettes supérieures (8) et inférieures (9) permettent d'assurer le coulissement des panneaux (2) par rapport au châssis (3). Pour améliorer la stabilité des panneaux (2) lors du coulissement, et en référence aux figures 3 et 5, les traverses supérieures (4c) et inférieures (4d) des structures rectangulaires latérales (4) comprennent des patins (12) engagés avec capacité de coulissement dans des rails (13) solidaires de la face interne de chacun des panneaux (2).The upper (8) and lower (9) rollers allow the panels (2) to slide relative to the chassis (3). To improve the stability of the panels (2) during sliding, and with reference to figures 3 and 5 , the upper (4c) and lower (4d) crosspieces of the lateral rectangular structures (4) comprise pads (12) engaged with sliding capacity in rails (13) integral with the internal face of each of the panels (2).

Selon un autre mode de réalisation, et en référence aux figures 6 à 9, le châssis (3) comprend deux logements tubulaires (20) disposés côte à côte et fixés le long de la traverse (6) du châssis (3). Ces logements tubulaires (20) reçoivent chacun, et avec capacité de coulissement, un profilé tubulaire (21) fixé le long du bord supérieur de chaque panneau (2), et notamment sur la face supérieure des panneaux (2). Les profilés tubulaires (21) débordent latéralement des gabarits des panneaux (2), d'une longueur environ égale à la largeur des panneaux (2). Les profilés tubulaires (21) permettent donc le coulissement des panneaux (2) et permettent de réaliser des moyens anti-arrachements interdisant une translation des panneaux (2) selon une direction orthogonale auxdits panneaux (2). Les profilés tubulaires (21) engagés dans les logements tubulaires (20) permettent d'avoir une structure plus résistante et de compenser le contrepoids des panneaux (2) lorsqu'ils sont coulissés en position ouverte.According to another embodiment, and with reference to figures 6 to 9 , the chassis (3) comprises two tubular housings (20) arranged side by side and fixed along the crosspiece (6) of the chassis (3). These tubular housings (20) each receive, and with the capacity to sliding, a tubular profile (21) fixed along the upper edge of each panel (2), and in particular on the upper face of the panels (2). The tubular profiles (21) project laterally from the templates of the panels (2), of a length approximately equal to the width of the panels (2). The tubular profiles (21) therefore allow the panels (2) to slide and make it possible to produce anti-tearing means preventing translation of the panels (2) in a direction orthogonal to said panels (2). The tubular profiles (21) engaged in the tubular housings (20) make it possible to have a more resistant structure and to compensate for the counterweight of the panels (2) when they are slid into the open position.

De préférence, le coulissement des panneaux (2) est motorisé. Un moteur électrique (14) est positionné à l'intérieur de chaque structure rectangulaire latérale (4) et est fixé latéralement aux montants latéraux (4a, 4b) du châssis (3), par exemple sur une platine (14a) formant entretoise. Chaque moteur électrique (14) entraine en rotation une roue dentée (14b) qui coopère avec une crémaillère (15) fixée sur la face interne de chaque panneau (2), parallèlement à la traverse supérieure (6). Avantageusement, les moteurs électriques (14), ou au moins les roues dentées (14b) desdits moteurs, sont montés avec capacité de translation verticale entre une position d'engagement avec les crémaillères (15) et une position de désengagement. Cette position de désengagement permet à l'utilisateur de pouvoir faire coulisser les panneaux (2), même lorsque les moteurs (14) sont en panne ou ne sont plus alimentés électriquement.Preferably, the sliding of the panels (2) is motorized. An electric motor (14) is positioned inside each lateral rectangular structure (4) and is fixed laterally to the lateral uprights (4a, 4b) of the chassis (3), for example on a plate (14a) forming a spacer. Each electric motor (14) rotates a toothed wheel (14b) which cooperates with a rack (15) fixed on the internal face of each panel (2), parallel to the upper crosspiece (6). Advantageously, the electric motors (14), or at least the toothed wheels (14b) of said motors, are mounted with capacity for vertical translation between a position of engagement with the racks (15) and a position of disengagement. This disengagement position allows the user to be able to slide the panels (2), even when the motors (14) have failed or are no longer supplied with electricity.

L'alimentation électrique des moteurs (14) se fait par un branchement électrique, par batterie ou bien par un panneau solaire (16) disposé sur casquette supérieure fixée sur la longueur de la traverse supérieure (6) pour couvrir ladite traverse supérieure (6) et la partie supérieure des deux panneaux (2).The electric supply of the motors (14) is done by an electrical connection, by battery or by a solar panel (16) arranged on upper cap fixed on the length of the upper crosspiece (6) to cover said upper crosspiece (6) and the upper part of the two panels (2).

De ce qui précède, l'invention fournit un système (1) de volets coulissant pré-monté, commercialisé sous cette forme, et prêt à installer par un utilisateur non professionnel. L'installation nécessite simplement la mise en place d'au moins quatre vis de fixation. Les panneaux (2) restent solidaires du châssis (3). En pratique, la traverse inférieure (7) du châssis (3) comprend deux pieds (18) amovibles et réglables en hauteur par vissage/dévissage, de sorte que, lors de l'installation, l'utilisateur pose le châssis (3) sur les deux pieds (18) en appui contre le sol ou contre un rebord de fenêtre. Le vissage/dévissage des pieds (18) lui permet d'ajuster la hauteur du châssis (3) et son horizontalité, et de fixer facilement les structures rectangulaires latérales (4) sur le mur de part et d'autre de l'embrasure. A cet effet, l'utilisateur fait coulisser successivement les panneaux (2) dans des positions dites d'installation, dans lesquelles les panneaux (2) sont par exemple coulissés tous les deux du même côté pour laisser apparaître, successivement chacun des montant latéraux (4a) dans lesquels sont ménagés les orifices (5) de fixation. Le montage est simple et rapide. Des butées (19) de fin de courses sont ensuite fixées sur les côtés externes des panneaux (2). Les butées (19) sont destinées à venir bloquer contre les montants externes (4b) du châssis (3) en position fermée des panneaux (2). En position ouverte, les roulettes supérieures (8) et inférieures (9) jouent le rôle de butées contre les montants latéraux internes (4a) du châssis (3).From the above, the invention provides a system (1) of pre-mounted sliding shutters, marketed in this form, and ready to install by a non-professional user. Installation simply requires the installation of at least four fixing screws. The panels (2) remain integral with the chassis (3). In practice, the lower crossmember (7) of the chassis (3) comprises two removable feet (18) adjustable in height by screwing / unscrewing, so that, during installation, the user places the chassis (3) on the two feet (18) resting against the ground or against a window sill. The screwing / unscrewing of the feet (18) allows it to adjust the height of the frame (3) and its horizontality, and to fix easily the lateral rectangular structures (4) on the wall on either side of the doorway. To this end, the user successively slides the panels (2) into so-called installation positions, in which the panels (2) are for example both slid on the same side to reveal, successively each of the lateral uprights ( 4a) in which the fixing orifices (5) are formed. The assembly is simple and fast. End-of-travel stops (19) are then fixed on the external sides of the panels (2). The stops (19) are intended to block against the external uprights (4b) of the chassis (3) in the closed position of the panels (2). In the open position, the upper (8) and lower (9) rollers act as stops against the internal lateral uprights (4a) of the chassis (3).

En résumé, l'invention fournit un système (1) de volets coulissants prêt à installer par un particulier non professionnel, de manière simple et rapide, avec châssis (3) invisible pour une esthétique générale optimale.In summary, the invention provides a system (1) of sliding shutters ready to install by a non-professional individual, simply and quickly, with chassis (3) invisible for an optimal overall aesthetic.
