Description

La présente invention concerne les panneaux articulés de fermeture de portes ou d'ouvertures à déploiement vertical et se repliant verticalement en accordéon avec des plis horizontaux dans la partie haute des ouvertures à fermer où elles sont suspendues.The present invention relates to articulated panels for closing doors or openings with vertical deployment and folding vertically in accordion with horizontal folds in the upper part of the openings to be closed where they are suspended.

Ces panneaux articulés sont utilisés de façon connue pour isoler ou occulter des ouvertures à l'intérieur ou à l'extérieur de bâtiments industriels. Ils doivent être d'utilisation facile, pouvoir résister au vent, et être étanches pour empêcher des déperditions calorifiques importantes.These articulated panels are used in known manner to isolate or obscure openings inside or outside of industrial buildings. They must be easy to use, be able to withstand wind, and be waterproof to prevent significant heat loss.

On connaît des panneaux articulés de ce type, comprenant un voile constitué d'au moins un matériau en feuille souple, opaque ou au moins partiellement transparent, et comportant, régulièrement répartis sur la hauteur du panneau déployé, des profilés métalliques divisant le panneau en sections horizontales et formant charnières entre ces dernières lors du repliement du panneau. En remontant, par un système de câbles ou de sangles et de treuil, le profilé le plus inférieur, on entraîne progressivement les autres profilés intermédiaires au fur et à mesure de l'ouverture du panneau, qui peut ainsi se replier complètement en accordéon dans le haut de l'ouverture. Quoique assurant la rigidité en flexion requise pour le panneau, les profilés métalliques posent un certain nombre de problèmes tenant essentiellement à leur poids, eu égard, par ailleurs, à la faible tenue mécanique du voile de panneau constitué généralement d'un film de matériau plastique d'épaisseur inférieure à 1 millimètre. Quelles que soient les techniques utilisées pour monter les profilés métalliques sur le voile, un problème aigu se pose lorsque l'on veut réaliser des panneaux de fermeture d'ouvertures de grande largeur,en l'espèce supérieures à 6 mètres, ou de très grande largeurs, supérieures à 10 mètres. En effet, sur de telles largeurs, pour conserver leur rigidité, les profilés métalliques, même réalisés sur la forme de tubes, doivent avoir une épaisseur notable, ce qui se traduit par un poids unitaire de profilé devenant très important, supérieur à 10 kg. Les profilés de cette longueur ont tendance à flamber vers le bas, provoquant ainsi des sollicitations très sévères sur le matériau du voile du panneau, pouvant aboutir assez rapidement à un déchirement de ce dernier.Hinged panels of this type are known, comprising a veil made of at least one flexible sheet material, opaque or at least partially transparent, and comprising, regularly distributed over the height of the deployed panel, metal profiles dividing the panel into sections horizontal and forming hinges between them when the panel is folded. Going up, by a system of cables or straps and winch, the lowest profile, we gradually drive the other intermediate profiles as the panel opens, which can thus fold completely accordion in the top of the opening. Although ensuring the bending rigidity required for the panel, metal profiles pose a certain number of problems essentially due to their weight, having regard, moreover, to the poor mechanical strength of the panel web generally consisting of a film of plastic material with a thickness of less than 1 millimeter. Whatever the techniques used to mount the metal profiles on the veil, an acute problem arises when one wants to make closure panels for large openings, in this case greater than 6 meters, or very large widths, greater than 10 meters. Indeed, on such widths, to maintain their rigidity, the metal profiles, even made on the form of tubes, must have a significant thickness, which results in a unit weight of the profile becoming very large, greater than 10 kg. Profiles of this length tend to buckle downwards, thus causing very severe stresses on the material of the panel veil, which can fairly quickly tear the latter.

La présente invention a précisément pour objet de proposer un agencement de panneau articulé, de configuration particulièrement simple, convenant à la réalisation de panneaux de grande largeur, en supprimant les problèmes posés par le poids des profilés transversaux.The object of the present invention is precisely to propose an arrangement of articulated panel, of particularly simple configuration, suitable for the production of very wide panels, by eliminating the problems posed by the weight of the transverse profiles.

Pour ce faire, selon une caractéristique de la présente invention, le panneau articulé à déploiement vertical, comprenant un voile constitué d'au moins un matériau en feuille souple, plusieurs éléments de charnières allongés, rigides, parallèles,rapportés sur le voile et répartis sur la hauteur du panneau,et des moyens commandables pour lever et descendre le panneau, comporte au moins une paire d'éléments de tractions flexibles allongés, suspendus à la partie supérieure de l'ouverture, s'étendant verticalement le long d'une face du voile et rendus chacun solidaire des différents éléments de charnières allongés transversaux.To do this, according to a characteristic of the present invention, the articulated panel with vertical deployment, comprising a veil made of at least one flexible sheet material, several elongated, rigid, parallel hinge elements, attached to the veil and distributed over the height of the panel, and controllable means for lifting and lowering the panel, comprises at least one pair of elongated flexible traction elements, suspended from the upper part of the opening, extending vertically along one face of the veil and each made integral with the various elongated transverse hinge elements.

Grâce à cet agencement,qui n'obère pas le prix de revient du panneau, les éléments de charnière allongés rigides ou tubes transversaux sont en fait soutenus par les éléments de traction flexibles, réalisés avantageusement sous la forme de sangles tissées.Thanks to this arrangement, which does not result in the cost price of the panel, the rigid elongate hinge elements or transverse tubes are in fact supported by the flexible traction elements, advantageously produced in the form of woven straps.

Cet agencement permet ainsi d'envisager tout type d'association entre les éléments de charnière transversaux et le voile du panneau, en permettant notamment de simplifier au maximum la structure de ce dernier.This arrangement thus makes it possible to envisage any type of association between the transverse hinge elements and the panel veil, in particular making it possible to simplify the structure of the latter as much as possible.

Dans un mode de réalisation particulier de la présente invention, les éléments de traction flexibles allongés ou sangles comportent des boucles dans lesquelles sont simplement enfilés les éléments de charnière allongés ou tubes transversaux. Grâce à cet agencement, il est possible de rendre les tubes transversaux solidaires du voile en agen- çant ce dernier pour qu'il forme lui aussi des fourreaux de réception des tubes transversaux.In a particular embodiment of the present invention, the elongated flexible traction elements or straps comprise loops in which are simply threaded the elongated hinge elements or transverse tubes. Thanks to this arrangement, it is possible to make the transverse tubes integral with the veil by arranging the latter so that it too forms sheaths for receiving the transverse tubes.

La structure particulièrement simple du panneau articulé selon l'invention permet ainsi de séparer les fonctions d'occultation de l'ouverture, réservée au voile, et de support et d'actionnement du panneau, réservée aux tubes charnières transversaux, aux éléments de traction flexibles supportant ces tubes et aux moyens de levage, de sorte que, en cas d'endommagement du voile, celui-ci peut être aisément remplacé sans avoir à rebuter l'ensemble du panneau.The particularly simple structure of the articulated panel according to the invention thus makes it possible to separate the functions of concealing the opening, reserved for the veil, and for supporting and actuating the panel, reserved for the transverse hinge tubes, with the flexible traction elements. supporting these tubes and to the lifting means, so that, in the event of damage to the web, it can be easily replaced without having to discard the entire panel.

  • Figures 6 to 8 show alternative embodiments of loops formed by the flexible traction elements for supporting the transverse tubes.

Sur la figure 1, on reconnaît l'agencement général d'un panneau articulé de fermeture d'ouverture à déploiement vertical, comprenant un caisson supérieur 1 monté sur la partie haute de l'ouverture et deux montants profilés verticaux latéraux 2 profilés en forme de C et formant rails de guidage pour le panneau. Ce dernier comprend un voile 3 constitué d'une toile unique ou de deux toiles accolées 31, 32 en matériau plastique opaque ou transparent, typiquement en chlorure de polyvinyle (PVC) de 4 à 5/10ème de millimètres d'épaisseur ou en polyester. Le voile 3 est suspendu par son extrémité supérieure dans le caisson 1 et est divisé en un certain nombre de sections horizontales par des tubes transversaux 4 formant charnières d'articulation entre les sections et réalisés en alliage léger, par exemple en aluminium. Le tube le plus inférieur 41, puis un tube sur deux, en remontant vers le haut du panneau, font saillie latéralement par rapport au voile 3, leurs extrémités saillantes supportant, par l'intermédiaire de roulements à bille, des galets de guidage 5 se déplaçant dans les rails latéraux 2. Les autres tubes intermédiaires 4 ont une longueur inférieure à la largeur hors tout du voile 3. Dans le cas d'un voile constitué par deux toiles accolées, ces dernières sont solidarisées ensemble par des lignes de soudures latérales 20 et par des paires de lignes de soudure transversales 30 pouvant définir entre elles des poches 6 pour loger des bandes de ma- térieu isolant 7 éventuellement pourvues de trous traversants 8, comme décrit dans la demande de brevet n° 80/17766 dont le contenu est supposé intégré ici pour référence. De façon connue, au tube transversal le plus inférieur 41 sont connectées des sangles d'actionnement 9 qui peuvent s'enrouler autour d'un arbre transversal 10 disposé dans le caisson 1 et actionné sélectivement par un moteur électrique. Lorsque les sangles 9 s'enroulent sur l'arbre 10, elles remontent le dernier tube 41, lequel entraîne à son tour les autres tubes transversaux 4 pour replier le panneau avec des plus horizontaux, les sections retombant en accordéon vers le bas grâce aux tubes transversaux intermédiaires non guidés par les rails latéraux 2.In Figure 1, we recognize the general arrangement of a hinged opening closure panel with vertical deployment, comprising an upper box 1 mounted on the upper part of the opening and two uprights lateral vertical profiles 2 shaped C and forming guide rails for the panel. The latter comprises a web 3 consisting of a single fabric or two adjoining fabrics 31, 32 of opaque or transparent plastic material, typically of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) 4 to 5 / 10ths of a millimeter thick or polyester. The web 3 is suspended by its upper end in the box 1 and is divided into a number of horizontal sections by transverse tubes 4 forming hinges between the sections and made of light alloy, for example aluminum. The lower tube 4 1 , then every other tube, going up towards the top of the panel, protrude laterally with respect to the web 3, their projecting ends supporting, by means of ball bearings, guide rollers 5 moving in the side rails 2. The other intermediate tubes 4 have a length less than the overall width of the veil 3. In the case of a veil formed by two adjoining fabrics, the latter are joined together by lateral weld lines 20 and by pairs of transverse weld lines 30 which can define pockets 6 therebetween for accommodating strips of insulating material 7 possibly provided with through holes 8, as described in patent application No. 80/17766, the content of which is assumed to be incorporated here for reference. In known manner, to the lower transverse tube 4 1 are connected actuation straps 9 which can be wound around a transverse shaft 10 disposed in the box 1 and selectively actuated by an electric motor. When the straps 9 are wound on the shaft 10, they re mount the last tube 4 1 , which in turn drives the other transverse tubes 4 to fold the panel with more horizontal ones, the sections falling in accordion down thanks to the intermediate transverse tubes not guided by the lateral rails 2.

Conformément à la présente invention, le panneau comprend en outre, au moins deux (typiquement quatre ou six) éléments de tractions allongés verticaux 11, par exemple des sangles ou des câbles en matériau plastique,s'étendant le long d'une des faces du voile 3, typiquement la face intérieure, suspendues par leurs extrémités supérieures 12, par exemple au caisson 1, et supportant les différents tubes transversaux 4.According to the present invention, the panel further comprises at least two (typically four or six) vertical elongated traction elements 11, for example straps or cables of plastic material, extending along one of the faces of the web 3, typically the inner face, suspended by their upper ends 12, for example from the casing 1, and supporting the various transverse tubes 4.

Dans le mode de réalisation des figures 1 et 2,les éléments de traction allongés verticaux 11, en l'occurrence des sangles du type des sangles tissées utilisées dans les systèmes de ceintures de sécurité ou les harnais, forment le long de leur longueur,à des intervalles réguliers correspondant à l'espacement des tubes transversaux 4, des boucles 13 dans lesquelles sont enfilés les différents tubes 4.In the embodiment of Figures 1 and 2, the elongated vertical traction elements 11, in this case straps of the type of woven straps used in seat belt systems or harnesses, form along their length, at regular intervals corresponding to the spacing of the transverse tubes 4, loops 13 in which the various tubes 4 are threaded.

Dans le mode de réalisation de la figure 3, les éléments de charnières allongés rigides transversaux sont constitués par l'assemblage de deux demi-profils tubulaires 4' et 4" fixés à la toile 3 et simulbanément aux sangles 11, au droit de ces dernières, par exemple par des rivets 14.In the embodiment of FIG. 3, the transverse rigid elongate hinge elements are constituted by the assembly of two tubular half-profiles 4 ′ and 4 ″ fixed to the fabric 3 and simultaneously to the straps 11, in line with the latter , for example by rivets 14.

Conformément à un aspect de l'invention, et comme représenté sur les figures 2, 4 et 5, compte tenu du fait que l'essentiel du poids des tubes transversaux 4 est supporté par les sangles 11, il est possible de rendre ces tubes solidaires du voile 3 en les logeant dans des fourreaux 15 formés par ce même voile 3. Dans le cas d'un voile constitué d'une seule épaisseur de toile, la boucle 15 sera formée en solidarisant entre eux, par exemple par couture ou soudure 16, deux éléments juxtaposés de la toile 3 définissant à l'extérieur du plan général de cette toile la boucle 15, comme on le voit sur les figures 2 et 4. Dans le cas d'un voile 3 constitué par l'accolement de deux toiles 31 et 32, les fourreaux 15 peuvent être réalisés comme représenté sur la figure 5, en ménageant un espace entre deux lignes de soudure supplémentaires transversales 31. Bien sûr, au droit des sangles 11, les fourreaux 15 seront découpés, comme représenté en l7,pour permettre l'alignement sensiblement coaxial de ces fourreaux 15 et des boucles 13 des sangles 11. En variante, les toiles doublées peuvent être déformées pour constituer une boucle 15, de la même façon que la toile simple, comme représenté sur la figure 4.In accordance with one aspect of the invention, and as shown in FIGS. 2, 4 and 5, taking into account the fact that most of the weight of the transverse tubes 4 is supported by the straps 11, it is possible to make these tubes integral veil 3 by housing them in sheaths 15 formed by this same veil 3. In the case of a veil consisting of a single thickness of fabric, the loop 15 will be formed by joining together, for example by sewing or welding 16 , two juxtaposed elements of the fabric 3 defining outside the general plane of this fabric the loop 15, as can be seen in FIGS. 2 and 4. In the case of a web 3 formed by the joining of two fabrics 3 1 and 3 2 , the ovens rails 15 can be made as shown in FIG. 5, by leaving a space between two additional transverse weld lines 31. Of course, in line with the straps 11, the sleeves 15 will be cut, as shown in l7, to allow alignment substantially coaxial of these sheaths 15 and loops 13 of the straps 11. As a variant, the lined fabrics can be deformed to form a loop 15, in the same way as the simple fabric, as shown in FIG. 4.

Comme on le voit sur les figures 6 à 8, les boucles 13 formées par la sangle 11 peuvent être définies de différentes façons. Sur la figure 6, la boucle 13 est formée à demeure par un moyen de fixation 18, par exemple des lignes couture ou des rivets. Dans le mode de réalisation de la figure 7, la boucle 13 est formée avant introduction du tube 4, et est définie en configuration de serrage autour de ce dernier par un anneau ou passant 19.
