Abstract

The invention comprises a panel which is placed in front of the openings (doors or windows) of a building and forms a sufficiently watertight seal to prevent the penetration of water in the event of flooding. It consists of a strong and rigid body (1), reinforced with horizontal pieces of wood (2), the outer sides of which bear against the masonry (door posts or window jambs). The panel is held in place by clamps (claws) (4) on one side and by cams on the other, bearing against the reveal of the opening. The seal is obtained by inflating a rubber tyre (3) which is fixed to the body by means of adhesive bonding and is lodged in the gap between the body and the masonry. This device according to the invention is particularly designed to protect buildings with doors and windows and which are located in a zone which is liable to flooding from damage caused by flood waters.

Description

Le présente invention consiste en un panneau disposé devant les ouvertures (portes ou fenêtres ) d'un bâtiment, réalisant une étanchéité suffisante pour la pénétration de l'eau en cas d'inondation (batardeau pour maisons d'habitation). The present invention consists of a panel disposed in front of the openings (doors or windows) of a building, providing a sufficient seal for the penetration of water in the event of flooding (cofferdam for residential houses).

L'obturation des ouvertures, en cas de crues, se faisait traditionnellement à l'aide de planches emboîtées dans des rails fixés sur les jambages avec une étanchéité réalisée tant bien que mal
au plâtre.
The obturation of the openings, in the event of floods, was traditionally done with the aid of boards fitted into rails fixed on the jambs with a seal produced as best as possible.
with plaster.

Aucune maison nouvelle n'est équipée de ces rails et, pour les autres, I'étanchéité ne peut pas être assurée entre les planches. De plus, il est difficile d'avoir en permanence du plâtre "en état", car celui-ci se périme rapidement. No new house is equipped with these rails and, for the others, watertightness cannot be ensured between the planks. In addition, it is difficult to have plaster permanently "in state", because it expires quickly.

Le dispositif selon l'invention permet d'avoir à sa disposition un moyen rapide d'empêcher la
pénétration de l'eau sans modifications de la maçonnerie du bâtiment. Celui-ci peut être utilisé
plusieurs fois sans destruction et permet de procéder à des essais et des vérifications.
The device according to the invention makes it possible to have at its disposal a rapid means of preventing the
water penetration without modifications to the masonry of the building. This can be used
several times without destruction and allows testing and verification.

Le dispositif selon l'invention est constitué d'un panneau (1) renforcé par des nervures (2) appelé corps, résistant et rigide. Ce corps prend appui sur la maçonnerie à l'extérieur du bâtiment et ses renforts constituent un cadre qui pénètre, avec un jeu de quelques centimètres, à l'intérieur de l'ouverture ( voir Fig. 1).  The device according to the invention consists of a panel (1) reinforced by ribs (2) called a body, resistant and rigid. This body is supported on the masonry outside the building and its reinforcements constitute a frame which penetrates, with a play of a few centimeters, inside the opening (see Fig. 1).

L'originalité du système consiste en une étanchéité rapidement obtenue par le gonflage d'un pneumatique (3), logé dans l'espace réservé entre le corps du panneau et la maçonnerie du jambage. Ce pneumatique, qui pourra être mis en pression à l'aide d'une simple pompe à
bicyclette, est collé sur le pourtour du cadre sur sa face inférieure et sur ses deux faces verticales de façon à empêcher toute pénétration d'eau.
The originality of the system consists of a seal quickly obtained by inflating a tire (3), housed in the space reserved between the body of the panel and the masonry of the jamb. This tire, which can be pressurized using a simple pump
bicycle, is glued on the periphery of the frame on its underside and on its two vertical faces so as to prevent any penetration of water.

Les formes et les dimensions seront adaptées aux ouvertures (portes, fenêtres, porte -fenêtres, portes de garage). Les matériaux pourront être du bois (contreplaqué et sapin), mais aussi bien du métal ou des plastiques, leurs dimensions étant calculées de façon à résister à une pression dynamique de l'eau. The shapes and dimensions will be adapted to the openings (doors, windows, door windows, garage doors). The materials may be wood (plywood and fir), but also metal or plastics, their dimensions being calculated so as to withstand dynamic water pressure.

Pour protéger les habitats contre une hauteur d'eau supérieure à 60 cm, on pourra superposer deux panneaux, afin de ne pas avoir des panneaux trop grands donc trop lourds à manutentionner. To protect habitats against a height of water greater than 60 cm, two panels can be superimposed, so as not to have panels that are too large and therefore too heavy to handle.

Le maintien en place est assuré par des griffes (4) d'un côté et des cames excentriques (5)
auto-bloquantes de l'autre, prenant appui dans l'ébrasement de l'ouverture. Le rôle de ce système cames/griffes est aussi d'empêcher le soulèvement du panneau lors du gonflage du pneumatique dans sa partie inférieure.
The holding in place is ensured by claws (4) on one side and eccentric cams (5)
self-locking on the other, taking support in the splaying of the opening. The role of this cam / claw system is also to prevent the lifting of the panel during inflation of the tire in its lower part.

La figure I représente, vu de l'intérieur, une ouverture équipée du panneau ainsi qu'une coupe et le détail du système cames/griffes. Figure I shows, seen from the inside, an opening equipped with the panel as well as a section and the detail of the cam / claw system.

La figure 2 représente, agrandi à l'échelle 1, le pneumatique assurant l'étanchéité, logé dans
l'espace laissé entre la maçonnerie et le corps.
FIG. 2 represents, enlarged to scale 1, the tire ensuring the seal, housed in
the space left between the masonry and the body.

La figure 3 représente le panneau en perspective. Figure 3 shows the panel in perspective.

La figure 4 représente une variante du système de maintien: cales ou "coins"
La réalisation comportera les étapes suivantes:
-un contreplaqué 10 mm marine (1) sera dimensionné pour dépasser la largeur de l'ouverture de 50 mm et pour la hauteur n'excédera pas 800 mm (voir Fig. 3).
Figure 4 shows a variant of the holding system: wedges or "wedges"
The realization will include the following stages:
-a 10 mm marine plywood (1) will be dimensioned to exceed the width of the opening by 50 mm and for the height will not exceed 800 mm (see Fig. 3).

-un cadre (2) de sapin sans noeud 70x25 (par exemple) comportant deux nervures horizontales de même section sera rapporté sur le panneau par collage/clouage de façon à ce que sa largeur soit égale à celle de l'ouverture diminuée de 40 mm, et sa hauteur soit égale à celle du panneau diminuée de 20 mm: les faces supérieures du cadre du panneau seront sur un même plan, alors que le panneau dépassera de 20 mm la face inférieure du cadre de façon à créer le logement qui recevra le pneumatique (3). -a frame (2) of fir without knot 70x25 (for example) comprising two horizontal ribs of the same section will be attached to the panel by gluing / nailing so that its width is equal to that of the opening reduced by 40 mm , and its height is equal to that of the panel reduced by 20 mm: the upper faces of the panel frame will be on the same plane, while the panel will protrude by 20 mm from the underside of the frame so as to create the housing which will receive the pneumatic (3).

-un pneumatique caoutchouc (3), dont les essais donneront les caractéristiques, sera fixé par
collage sur les deux faces latérales du cadre (2) ainsi que sur la face inférieure. C'est le
gonflement de ce pneumatique qui assurera une étanchéité suffisante au dispositif.
-a rubber tire (3), the tests of which will give the characteristics, will be fixed by
bonding on the two side faces of the frame (2) as well as on the underside. It's the
inflation of this tire which will ensure sufficient tightness of the device.

-pour le maintien en place du batardeau, et pour s'opposer à l'effort de soulèvement dû au gonflage du pneumatique, on viendra fixer sur le cadre d'un côté, deux plaques métalliquespointues (4), clouées, appelées griffes, dépassant de 20 mm ; de l'autre côté, deux cames excentriques (5) articulées autour d'un axe solidaire du cadre (2) actionnées par une poignée qui sera tirée vers le haut de façon à produire une liaison par coincement entre le cadre et le jambage de maçonnerie de l'ouverture. -to keep the cofferdam in place, and to oppose the lifting effort due to the inflation of the tire, we will fix on the frame on one side, two pointed metal plates (4), nailed, called claws, protruding 20 mm; on the other side, two eccentric cams (5) articulated around an axis integral with the frame (2) actuated by a handle which will be pulled upwards so as to produce a connection by wedging between the frame and the masonry jamb of the opening.

Dans une variante, la came excentrique pourra être remplacée par un système de cale inclinée (6) ou "coins" en vue d'obtenir un coincement (voir Fig. 4). Alternatively, the eccentric cam can be replaced by an inclined wedge system (6) or "wedges" in order to obtain a wedging (see Fig. 4).

-le panneau ainsi immobilisé, il faudra, à l'aide d'une simple pompe à bicyclette par exemple, gonfler suffisamment le pneumatique qui remplira l'espace de 20 mm laissé libre entre le cadre et la maçonnerie s'opposant à la pénétration de l'eau. -the panel thus immobilized, it will be necessary, using a simple bicycle pump for example, to inflate the tire sufficiently which will fill the space of 20 mm left free between the frame and the masonry opposing the penetration of the water.

Cette invention devrait intéresser des industriels, fabricants de porte ou fenêtre, et désireux de satisfaire une demande pour des particuliers ayant déjà subi des dégâts des eaux ou voulant s'en prémunir. L'avantage de cette invention comparativement à des solutions de "portes étanches" ou "volets étanches" est son faible coût venant de son extrême simplicité : nul besoin de changer toutes les menuiseries d'une maison.  This invention should interest manufacturers, door or window manufacturers, and wishing to satisfy a request for individuals who have already suffered water damage or want to protect themselves from it. The advantage of this invention compared to solutions of "waterproof doors" or "waterproof shutters" is its low cost coming from its extreme simplicity: no need to change all the joinery of a house.
