Description
La présente invention se rapporte au domaine général des volets roulants contenus dans un coffre. Elle vise plus précisément un dispositif de butée pour volet roulant ou similaire limitant l'enroulement dudit volet roulant.The present invention relates to the general field of rolling shutters contained in a trunk. It relates more specifically to a stop device for a rolling shutter or the like limiting the winding of said rolling shutter.
Les volets roulants comportent, de manière classique, un coffre préfabriqué contenant un arbre d'enroulement, non représenté, reposant par ses extrémités sur des paliers solidaires des flasques d'extrémité dudit coffre et auquel est accroché un tablier, non représenté, formé de lames horizontales articulées entre elles et dont les extrémités se déplacent verticalement à l'intérieur de coulisses de guidage, non représentées, solidaires d'une fenêtre d'un bâtiment associée au volet roulant ou de la maçonnerie du bâtiment entourant ladite fenêtre. Ainsi, pour remonter le volet roulant, on enroule le tablier autour de l'arbre et au contraire, pour descendre le volet roulant, on déroule le tablier.Roller shutters comprise, in a conventional manner, a prefabricated box containing a winding shaft, not shown, resting by its ends on bearings integral with the end flanges of said box and to which is hung an apron, not shown, formed of blades horizontal hinged together and whose ends move vertically inside guide rails, not shown, secured to a window of a building associated with the roller shutter or the masonry of the building surrounding said window. Thus, to raise the roller shutter, the apron is wrapped around the shaft and, on the contrary, to lower the roller shutter, the apron is unrolled.
Toutefois lors de la remontée, il est nécessaire d'arrêter la course du tablier, en fin de remontée, car il est impératif que les extrémités de la dernière lame du tablier restent dans des coulisses de guidage ou, à défaut, puissent s'y engager facilement, de sorte que le volet soit toujours guidé durant les manoeuvres successives.However, during the ascent, it is necessary to stop the travel of the apron, at the end of the ascent, because it is imperative that the ends of the last slat of the apron remain in the guide channels or, failing that, can fit there. engage easily, so that the shutter is always guided during the successive manoeuvres.
Pour ce faire, on connaît déjà des butées montées à l'extrémité latérale d'une des lames finales du tablier, ces butées évoluant à l'intérieur des coulisses et n'étant donc pas apparentes. Le brevet
Cet exemple de réalisation de butée est certes efficace, mais présente cependant l'inconvénient de laisser au moins une partie de la lame finale obstruer le clair du jour et donc de réduire la luminosité à l'intérieur de la pièce équipée du volet roulant.This exemplary embodiment of abutment is certainly effective, but nevertheless has the drawback of allowing at least part of the final slat to obstruct the light of day and therefore of reducing the brightness inside the room equipped with the roller shutter.
Le brevet
Le but de la présente invention est donc de proposer un dispositif de butée de volet roulant permettant de limiter la course de celui-ci lors de son enroulement d'un coffre de volet roulant tout en garantissant une ouverture maximale et une fermeture parfaite dudit volet roulant pour obtenir une luminosité ou obscurité maximale à l'intérieur de la pièce équipée du volet roulant.The object of the present invention is therefore to propose a roller shutter stopper device making it possible to limit the stroke of the latter when it is rolled up by a roller shutter box while guaranteeing maximum opening and perfect closing of said roller shutter. to obtain maximum brightness or darkness inside the room fitted with the roller shutter.
Conformément à l'invention, il est donc proposé un dispositif de butée pour un volet roulant comportant deux coulisses de guidage pourvues à leur extrémité supérieure d'un élément de guidage et un tablier formé d'une pluralité de lames horizontales, dont une lame finale inférieure munie à chacune de ses extrémités latérales d'un logement interne, articulées entre elles et dont les extrémités latérales se déplacent verticalement à l'intérieur desdites coulisses de guidage, ledit dispositif de butée est configuré pour être inséré au moins en partie dans chaque logement interne selon une direction parallèle à l'axe longitudinal de cette dernière et comporte un levier pivotant, lorsque le dispositif de butée est inséré, autour d'un axe horizontal perpendiculaire à l'axe longitudinal dudit logement et comportant au moins une excroissance qui, lorsque le dispositif de butée est inséré, se déplace à l'intérieur de la coulisse de guidage associée et est apte à venir en butée contre l'élément de guidage pour bloquer la lame finale lors de la remontée du volet roulant, le levier pivotant entre une position "basse" dans laquelle l'excroissance dépasse du bord longitudinal inférieur de ladite lame finale permettant l' effacement total de ladite lame finale lorsque ledit volet roulant est totalement ouvert, et une position "haute" dans laquelle l'excroissance ne dépasse pas dudit bord longitudinal inférieur permettant une occultation totale lorsque ledit volet roulant est totalement fermé.In accordance with the invention, there is therefore proposed an abutment device for a rolling shutter comprising two guide rails provided at their upper end with a guide element and an apron formed of a plurality of horizontal slats, including a final slat bottom provided at each of its lateral ends with an internal housing, articulated between them and whose lateral ends move vertically inside said guide slides, said stop device is configured to be inserted at least partially in each housing internal in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis of the latter and comprises a pivoting lever, when the abutment device is inserted, around a horizontal axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of said housing and comprising at least one protrusion which, when the abutment device is inserted, moves inside the associated guide rail and is capable of coming into abutment against the guide element to block the final slat when the roller shutter is raised, the lever pivoting between a "low" position in which the protrusion protrudes from the lower longitudinal edge of said final slat allowing the total obliteration of said final slat when said roller shutter is completely open, and a "high" position in which the protrusion does not protrude from said lower longitudinal edge allowing total concealment when said roller shutter is completely closed.
Chaque levier comprend de préférence au moins une butée apte à venir en appui contre la paroi interne du logement de ladite lame finale, lorsque ledit levier est en position "basse".Each lever preferably comprises at least one abutment able to bear against the internal wall of the housing of said final slat, when said lever is in the "down" position.
Selon un mode de réalisation avantageux, chaque levier est en forme globale de L et comprend une première aile globalement horizontale et une deuxième aile issue de l'une des extrémités de ladite première aile et s'étendant vers le bas sensiblement perpendiculairement à cette dernière, ledit levier pivotant au niveau de l'extrémité libre de sa première aile et ladite excroissance étant solidaire de l'extrémité libre de ladite deuxième aile et s'étendant de part et d'autre de cette dernière selon une direction parallèle à l'axe de pivotement du levier.According to an advantageous embodiment, each lever is in the overall shape of an L and comprises a first generally horizontal wing and a second wing coming from one of the ends of said first wing and extending downwards substantially perpendicular to the latter, said lever pivoting at the free end of its first wing and said protuberance being integral with the free end of said second wing and extending on either side of the latter in a direction parallel to the pivot axis of the lever.
Chaque levier comprend avantageusement deux butées disposées, de façon diagonalement opposée, respectivement le long du bord inférieur et supérieur de sa première aile.Each lever advantageously comprises two stops arranged, diagonally opposite, respectively along the lower and upper edge of its first wing.
Selon un mode de réalisation, le dispositif de butée comporte un support sur lequel est monté pivotant chaque levier.According to one embodiment, the abutment device comprises a support on which each lever is pivotally mounted.
Chaque support comporte avantageusement des moyens de rappel tendant à ramener le levier dans sa position "haute".Each support advantageously comprises return means tending to return the lever to its "high" position.
De manière préférée, chaque support se compose d'une première partie présentant un évidement de sorte que sa section transversale soit en forme globale de C, et d'une deuxième partie étant une plaque solidarisée en appui contre ladite première partie de manière à refermer l'évidement, le levier étant en partie disposé à l'intérieur du support dans ledit évidement.Preferably, each support consists of a first part having a recess so that its cross-section is in the overall shape of a C, and of a second part being an integral plate bearing against said first part so as to close the recess, the lever being partly arranged inside the support in said recess.
La première partie du support comporte des découpes pour permettre, lorsque ledit levier est en position "basse", le passage de la ou des butées.The first part of the support has cutouts to allow, when said lever is in the "down" position, the passage of the stop(s).
Les moyens de rappel sont avantageusement une languette flexible élastiquement solidaire de la première partie dudit support.The return means are advantageously a flexible tab elastically secured to the first part of said support.

Ledit dispositif de butée 1 est configuré pour que, lorsqu'il est inséré dans le logement 41 de la lame finale 4, le levier 10 pivote autour de l'axe 11 entre :
- une position "basse" dans laquelle l'excroissance 14 dépasse avantageusement du bord longitudinal inférieur de la lame finale 4 (Cf.
figure 7 ) permettant, lorsque le volet roulant 2 est totalement ouvert, un effacement total de laditelame finale 4 et donc une luminosité maximale à l'intérieur de la pièce équipée dudit volet roulant 2, et - une position "haute" dans laquelle l'excroissance 14 ne dépasse avantageusement pas du bord longitudinal inférieur de ladite lame finale 4 (Cf.
figure 5 ) permettant, lorsque le volet roulant 2 est totalement fermé, une occultation totale de la fenêtre associée et donc une obscurité maximale à l'intérieur de la pièce équipée dudit volet roulant 2,ladite excroissance 14 étant à l'extérieur de lalame finale 4 et se déplaçant à l'intérieur de la coulisse de guidage 5 associée.
- a "low" position in which the
protrusion 14 advantageously protrudes from the lower longitudinal edge of the final slat 4 (Cf.figure 7 ) allowing, when theroller shutter 2 is completely open, total obliteration of saidfinal slat 4 and therefore maximum brightness inside the room equipped with saidroller shutter 2, and - a "high" position in which the
protrusion 14 advantageously does not protrude from the lower longitudinal edge of said final slat 4 (Cf.figure 5 ) allowing, when theroller shutter 2 is completely closed, total concealment of the associated window and therefore maximum darkness inside the room equipped with saidroller shutter 2, saidprotrusion 14 being outside thefinal slat 4 and moving inside the associatedguide slide 5.
Pour cela, le levier 10 comprend au moins une butée apte à venir en appui contre la paroi interne du logement 41 de ladite lame finale 4, lorsque ledit levier 10 est en position "basse" (Cf.

Par ailleurs, la première partie 21 du support 20 comporte des découpes 25,26 pour permettre, lorsque ledit levier 10 est en position "basse", le passage des butées 15,16 et leur appui contre la paroi interne du logement 41 de ladite lame finale 4.Furthermore, the
Le support 20 du dispositif de butée 1 comporte en outre des moyens de rappel tendant à ramener le levier 10 dans sa position "haute". Ces moyens de rappel sont avantageusement une languette 27 flexible élastiquement solidaire de la première partie 21 dudit support 20. Ces moyens de rappel permettent un bon coulissement de la lame finale 4 dans les coulisses de guidage 5, car, lorsque que chaque levier 10 est dans sa position "haute", la première aile 12 de ce dernier est sensiblement horizontale et l'excroissance 14 associée est alors parfaitement centré par rapport à la coulisse de guidage 5 associée et coulisse facilement dans cette dernière (Cf.
