Description

La présente invention concerne une porte rapide à repliement.The present invention relates to a fast folding door.

Lorsqu'il convient de fermer une baie pratiquée dans un mur extérieur d'un bâtiment, on peut mettre en oeuvre une porte à rideau souple dont le rideau se replie le long du linteau de la baie.When it is appropriate to close a bay made in an exterior wall of a building, it is possible to implement a soft curtain door whose curtain folds along the lintel of the bay.

Classiquement, une telle porte présente deux montants reliés à leur extrémité supérieure par une traverse et un rideau renforcé par des barres transversales rentrant latéralement dans chacun des montants.Conventionally, such a door has two amounts connected at their upper end by a cross member and a curtain reinforced by transverse bars laterally retract into each of the uprights.

Le repliement du rideau est réalisé, grâce à des sangles, en général au nombre de deux, dont une extrémité est reliée à une barre située sur la partie inférieure du rideau et dont l'autre extrémité est fixée à un arbre monté dans la traverse de la porte. Une motorisation commande la rotation de l'arbre sur lequel s'enroulent les sangles assurant ainsi le repliement du rideau en dessous de la traverse.The folding of the curtain is achieved by means of straps, generally two in number, one end of which is connected to a bar located on the lower part of the curtain and whose other end is fixed to a shaft mounted in the crossbar of the door. An engine controls the rotation of the shaft on which the straps are wound so ensuring the folding of the curtain below the crossbar.

L'application privilégiée de ce type de portes est la séparation de baie donnant sur l'extérieur de bâtiment, car ces portes présentent une excellente résistance au vent. En effet, on peut équiper le rideau de barres de renfort de diamètre important, puisque ces barres n'ont pas à s'enrouler autour de l'arbre comme cela est le cas des portes à enroulement.The preferred application of this type of door is the bay partition leading to the building exterior, as these doors have excellent wind resistance. Indeed, it can equip the curtain reinforcement bars large diameter, since these bars do not have to wrap around the shaft as is the case of rolling doors.

Il existe toutefois un point sur lequel ces portes ne sont pas totalement satisfaisantes. Les montants, dans lesquels s'engagent les bords latéraux du rideau, sont généralement réalisés dans des profilés en forme de C ayant deux ailes entre lesquelles les plis du rideau sont stockés. Comme le rideau, en position relevée, forme des plis occupant un volume important, la distance séparant deux ailes doit être importante et est couramment comprise entre 300 et 600 mm. Il résulte donc de ceci que les montants présentent un encombrement conséquent qui peut être incompatible avec les certains lieux où la surface est limitée.There is, however, a point on which these doors are not totally satisfactory. The amounts, in which the lateral edges of the curtain engage, are generally made in C-shaped profiles having two wings between which the folds of the curtain are stored. As the curtain, in the raised position, forms folds occupying a large volume, the distance separating two wings must be large and is commonly between 300 and 600 mm. It follows therefore that the amounts have a significant size that may be incompatible with certain places where the surface is limited.

De plus, des problèmes d'étanchéité peuvent apparaître entre les bords verticaux du rideau et les montants.In addition, sealing problems may occur between the vertical edges of the curtain and the uprights.

Un but de l'invention est de proposer une porte à repliement utilisant des montants ayant un encombrement réduit et offrant une bonne étanchéité entre le rideau et les montantsAn object of the invention is to provide a folding door using amounts having a small footprint and providing a good seal between the curtain and the amounts

De manière connue en soi selon le préambule de la revendication 1 et décrite par le document US5072767A , cette porte à repliement comprend :

  • deux montants verticaux dans chacun desquels est ménagée une glissière,
  • un arbre d'enroulement situé au sommet des deux montants verticaux,
  • un rideau souple muni d'une barre inférieure reliée à l'arbre d'enroulement par au moins une sangle et d'au moins une barre de renfort.
In a manner known per se according to the preamble of claim 1 and described by the document US5072767A , this folding door comprises:
  • two vertical uprights in each of which is provided a slide,
  • a winding shaft located at the top of the two vertical uprights,
  • a flexible curtain provided with a lower bar connected to the winding shaft by at least one strap and at least one reinforcing bar.

Au moins une barre de renfort s'engage et est guidée à ses extrémités dans les glissières ménagées dans chacun des montants, le rideau pouvant occuper une position de fermeture dans laquelle il est déployé dans un plan de séparation délimité par les montants et l'arbre d'enroulement ou une position d'ouverture dans laquelle le rideau est replié par enroulement de chaque sangle sur l'arbre et formation de plis d'un côté du plan de séparation.At least one reinforcement bar engages and is guided at its ends in the rails provided in each of the uprights, the curtain being able to occupy a closed position in which it is deployed in a plane of separation delimited by the uprights and the shaft winding or opening position in which the curtain is folded by winding each strap on the shaft and forming folds on one side of the plane of separation.

Selon l'invention, le rideau présente une largeur inférieure à la distance séparant les faces intérieures de chacun des montants, et, du côté du rideau opposé à celui de formation des plis, au moins l'un des montants comprend un moyen d'étanchéité élastique contre lequel le rideau vient en appui.According to the invention, the curtain has a width less than the distance separating the inner faces of each of the uprights, and, on the side of the curtain opposite to that of formation of the folds, at least one of the uprights comprises a sealing means elastic against which the curtain comes to bear.

L'idée de base de l'invention est de former les plis non pas à l'intérieur des montant comme dans les portes classiques mais à l'extérieur de ceux-ci pour pouvoir utiliser des montants de faible encombrement dont la glissière est dimensionnée pour recevoir uniquement l'extrémité d'une barre de renfort. Ceci est rendu possible par le fait que le rideau présente une largeur inférieure à la distance délimitée par les faces intérieures des montants, c'est à dire les faces des montants délimitant la largeur du passage de la porte.The basic idea of the invention is to form the folds not inside the uprights as in the conventional doors but outside them to be able to use small amounts of dimensions whose slide is dimensioned to receive only the end of a reinforcement bar. This is made possible by the fact that the curtain has a width less than the distance delimited by the inner faces of the uprights, that is to say the faces of the amounts defining the width of the passage of the door.

Toutefois, on comprend qu'il existe alors un jeu entre chaque montant et les bords latéraux du rideau. L'existence de ces jeux fait que l'étanchéité latérale d'une telle porte est très approximative, avec comme conséquence un défaut global d'étanchéité thermique et phonique de la porte et l'introduction de poussières dans l'espace que la porte est censée fermer.However, it is understood that there is then a game between each amount and the side edges of the curtain. The existence of these games makes that the lateral sealing of such a door is very approximate, with the consequence of an overall defect of thermal and acoustic sealing of the door and the introduction of dust into the space that the door is supposed to close.

C'est pour cela qu'il est prévu que du côté du rideau opposé à celui de formation des plis, au moins l'un des montants comprend un moyen d'étanchéité élastique contre lequel le rideau vient en appui.That is why it is expected that the side of the curtain opposite that of formation of the folds, at least one of the amounts comprises an elastic sealing means against which the curtain bears.

La porte ainsi définie combine les avantages de montant de faible encombrement et d'étanchéité. Le moyen d'étanchéité élastique ne perturbe pas le repliement de la porte mais assure une excellente étanchéité lorsque celle-ci est dépliée.The door thus defined combines the advantages of compact size and tightness. The elastic sealing means does not disturb the folding of the door but ensures excellent sealing when the latter is unfolded.

L'élasticité des moyens d'étanchéité est tout à fait essentielle car le rideau présente une surépaisseur au niveau de chaque barre de renfort. Il appartient donc au moyen d'étanchéité de s'adapter à une telle surépaisseur sans quoi l'étanchéité est tout à fait illusoire.The elasticity of the sealing means is quite essential because the curtain has an extra thickness at each reinforcing bar. It is therefore up to the sealing means to adapt to such an extra thickness, otherwise the seal is quite illusory.

De manière pratique, l'un des montants présente deux ailes formant glissières, le profilé d'étanchéité étant rapporté sur l'aile située du côté opposé à celui de formation des plis.Conveniently, one of the uprights has two wings forming rails, the sealing profile being attached to the wing located on the side opposite that of formation of the folds.

Selon une forme de réalisation du profilé, les profilés d'étanchéité présentent une base rigide destinée à venir en applique sur le montant et une lèvre souple destinée à venir en appui sur le rideau.According to one embodiment of the profile, the sealing profiles have a rigid base intended to be applied to the upright and a flexible lip intended to bear against the curtain.

De préférence, la lèvre souple présente une section transversale en forme de spirale. Cette disposition s'avère extrêmement favorable pour l'étanchéité puisque la lèvre en spirale a la faculté de s'écraser lorsqu'elle est en contact d'une surépaisseur formée par une barre de raidissement tout en restant en contact de la surface du rideau entre deux barres de raidissement.Preferably, the flexible lip has a cross-section in the form of a spiral. This arrangement proves extremely favorable for sealing since the spiral lip has the ability to crush when it is in contact with an excess thickness formed by a stiffening bar while remaining in contact with the surface of the curtain between two stiffening bars.

Selon un autre aspect du profilé, la base présente deux semelles sensiblement perpendiculaires venant en appui sur deux faces d'une aile d'un montant.According to another aspect of the profile, the base has two substantially perpendicular soles bearing on two sides of a wing of an amount.

De plus, chaque barre de renfort est équipée, à chacune de ses extrémités, d'un galet circulant entre les deux ailes de la glissière.In addition, each reinforcement bar is equipped at each of its ends with a roller flowing between the two wings of the slide.

Selon une forme de réalisation des moyens d'étanchéité, au moins l'un des montants présentant deux ailes, l'aile située du coté opposé à celui de formation des plis présente un prolongement pour former une surface d'appui pour le rideau.According to one embodiment of the sealing means, at least one of the uprights having two wings, the wing located on the side opposite to that of forming the folds has an extension to form a bearing surface for the curtain.

De plus, le prolongement peut être réalisé par co-extrusion, co-moulage ou co-pultrusion d'une matière élastiqueIn addition, the extension can be achieved by coextrusion, co-molding or co-pultrusion of an elastic material

Selon une autre possibilité, le prolongement présente une géométrie susceptible de se déformer de manière élastique.According to another possibility, the extension has a geometry that can deform elastically.

Selon la configuration de l'emplacement devant accueillir la porte, les montants dans lesquels sont ménagés les glissières sont verticaux ou les montants dans lesquels sont ménagés les glissières sont orientés selon une direction autre que la verticaleDepending on the configuration of the location to accommodate the door, the uprights in which are formed the slide rails are vertical or the amounts in which are formed the slides are oriented in a direction other than the vertical

  • Figure 3 est une vue en coupe transversale selon III-III de la figure 1.
For a good understanding, the invention is described with reference to the accompanying drawing showing, by way of non-limiting example, an embodiment of a door according to the invention.
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view of the folding door according to the invention,
  • Figure 2 is a view of the door at one of its uprights with partial tearing of a sealing profile and a flexible curtain,
  • Figure 3 is a cross-sectional view along III-III of the figure 1 .

Une porte à repliement, selon l'invention, est représentée à la figure 1 dans une configuration dans laquelle cette porte est fermée. La porte destinée à obturer une baie ménagée dans un mur ou une cloison présente deux montants 2 verticaux. L'extrémité supérieure de ces montants est reliée par un carter transversal qui protège un arbre. Cet arbre peut être entraîné en rotation par une motorisation électrique. La motorisation électrique est protégée par des capotages latéraux 4.A folding door according to the invention is shown in FIG. figure 1 in a configuration in which this door is closed. The door for closing a bay formed in a wall or partition has two uprights 2 vertical. The upper end of these uprights is connected by a transverse housing that protects a tree. This shaft can be rotated by an electric motor. The electric motor is protected by lateral cowls 4.

Le plan délimité par les faces intérieures 2a des montants 2 et le carter 3 transversal est fermé par un rideau souple 6. Ce rideau présente une largeur légèrement inférieur à la distance délimitée par les faces intérieures 2a des montants 2. Ce rideau 6 souple est constitué de plusieurs laizes horizontales à la jonction desquelles sont ménagés des goussets 8.The plane delimited by the inner faces 2a of the uprights 2 and the transverse housing 3 is closed by a flexible curtain 6. This curtain has a width slightly smaller than the distance delimited by the inner faces 2a of the uprights 2. This flexible curtain 6 is constituted by several horizontal widths at the junction of which are formed gussets 8.

Comme on peut le voir sur la figure 2, des barres de renfort tubulaires 9 sont engagées dans ces goussets 8. La particularité des portes dites à repliement est qu'elles présentent des sangles 11 orientées parallèlement aux montants 2, ces sangles 11 étant d'une part reliées à l'arbre d'enroulement, et d'autre part à une barre inférieure 10.As can be seen on the figure 2 tubular reinforcing bars 9 are engaged in these gussets 8. The peculiarity of the so-called folding doors is that they have straps 11 oriented parallel to the uprights 2, these straps 11 being on the one hand connected to the shaft of FIG. winding, and on the other hand to a lower bar 10.

Comme on peut le voir sur la figure 1, à l'intersection des sangles et de chaque barre transversale 9, le rideau 8 est équipé d'un guide sangle 13 dans lequel passe la sangle 11.As can be seen on the figure 1 at the intersection of the straps and each transverse bar 9, the curtain 8 is equipped with a strap guide 13 through which the strap 11 passes.

Ainsi, lorsque l'arbre d'enroulement est mis en rotation, les sangles 11 s'enroulent sur celui-ci et relèvent donc la barre 9 inférieure.Thus, when the winding shaft is rotated, the straps 11 are wound on it and thus raise the lower bar 9.

Au cours de son mouvement d'élévation en direction de l'arbre d'enroulement, la barre inférieure 10 rencontre successivement chacune des barres 9 de renfort située au dessus d'elle et remonte ainsi la totalité du rideau 6. Celui-ci se trouve en fin de rotation de l'arbre d'enroulement replié dans la partie haute de la porte directement au dessous du carter 3 transversal.During its upward movement toward the winding shaft, the lower bar 10 successively encounters each of the reinforcement bars 9 located above it and thus raises the entire curtain 6. This is located at the end of rotation of the winding shaft folded in the upper part of the door directly below the casing 3 transverse.

Dans sa position repliée, le rideau forme des plis dont la formation peut être aidée par des plieurs à mémoire de forme ou par des barre libre alternant avec les barres de renfort 9.In its folded position, the curtain forms folds whose formation can be assisted by shape memory benders or by free bars alternating with the reinforcing bars 9.

En se référant à la figure 3, on peut voir que chacune des barres de renfort 9 présente, à son extrémité, un galet 15 qui est engagé dans une glissière 17 délimitée par deux ailes 16 aménagées dans les montants 2. Ces galets 15 assurent une reprise des efforts auxquels sont soumis le rideau et les barres de renforts 9.Referring to the figure 3 it can be seen that each of the reinforcing bars 9 has, at its end, a roller 15 which is engaged in a slideway 17 delimited by two wings 16 arranged in the uprights 2. These rollers 15 provide a recovery of the forces to which the curtain and reinforcement bars 9.

On comprend donc que, dans la mesure où des plis (qui sont représentés en traits mixtes sur la figure 3) du rideau 6 se forment pour relever celui-ci, il se pose un problème d'étanchéité puisque la formation de plis se fait à l'extérieur de la glissière délimitée par les deux ailes 16 du montant.It is therefore understood that, to the extent that folds (which are represented in phantom lines on the figure 3 ) curtain 6 are formed to raise it, it poses a sealing problem since the formation of folds is outside the slide defined by the two flanges 16 of the amount.

En d'autres termes il existe un jeu entre le bord latéral du rideau 6 et le montant 2 en regard de celui-ci. Ce jeu est tout à fait préjudiciable à un fonctionnement satisfaisant de ses portes dans la mesure où l'étanchéité latérale d'une telle porte est extrêmement médiocre.In other words there is a game between the side edge of the curtain 6 and the amount 2 opposite it. This game is very detrimental to satisfactory operation of its doors in that the lateral tightness of such a door is extremely poor.

C'est pour cela que la porte est dotée, comme on peut le voir sur les différentes figures du dessin, d'un profilé d'étanchéité 18 qui est monté sur l'aile 16 de chacun des montants située du côté du rideau opposé à celui de formation des plis. Ce profilé d'étanchéité 18 présente, comme on peut le voir sur la figure 3, deux parties. Il s'agit d'une part d'une base venant en appui sur l'aile du montant et d'autre part une lèvre 19 qui vient en appui sur la surface du rideau.That is why the door is provided, as can be seen in the various figures of the drawing, a sealing profile 18 which is mounted on the flange 16 of each of the amounts located on the side of the curtain opposite to that of formation of the folds. This sealing profile 18 has, as can be seen on the figure 3 , two parts. It is a part of a base bearing on the wing of the amount and secondly a lip 19 which bears on the surface of the curtain.

La base présente deux semelles 20, 21 sensiblement perpendiculaires, d'épaisseur importante, pour présenter une bonne rigidité.The base has two flanges 20, 21 substantially perpendicular, of significant thickness, to have good rigidity.

La lèvre 19 présente une section transversale en forme de spirale. Cette forme de spirale s'avère tout à fait essentielle dans la bonne étanchéité que le profilé 18 procure. En effet, grâce à cette forme en spirale, le profilé 18 assure une étanchéité, d'une part sur la surface du rideau 6, et d'autre part, à la faculté de s'écraser lorsqu'il est à l'intersection de la surépaisseur formée par une barre de renfort 9. Cela apparaît clairement à la figure 2 sur laquelle on voit distinctement l'écrasement du profilé d'étanchéité au niveau des barres de renfort 9.The lip 19 has a spiral-shaped cross section. This form of spiral is absolutely essential in the good seal that the profile 18 provides. Indeed, thanks to this spiral shape, the profile 18 provides a seal, on the one hand on the surface of the curtain 6, and on the other hand, the ability to crash when it is at the intersection of the extra thickness formed by a reinforcement bar 9. This clearly appears in the figure 2 on which is clearly seen the crushing of the sealing profile at the reinforcement bars 9.

On peut encore préciser que le profilé 18 peut être collé sur le montant 2.It can also be specified that the profile 18 can be glued to the upright 2.

Un autre point important à souligner concernant ce profilé d'étanchéité est qu'il peut être réalisé en matériau anti abrasion favorisant le glissement et donc ne détériorant pas le rideau.Another important point to emphasize about this sealing profile is that it can be made of anti abrasion material that promotes sliding and therefore does not deteriorate the curtain.

Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée à la forme de réalisation décrite ci-dessus à titre d'exemple non limitatif, mais elle en embrasse toutes les formes de réalisation.Of course, the invention is not limited to the embodiment described above by way of non-limiting example, but it embraces all embodiments.

Ainsi, il pourrait être envisagé dans le cas de montants extrudés ou pultrudés en matière plastique de coextruder ou co-pultruder un élément d'étanchéité qui ferait ainsi corps avec le montant.Thus, it could be envisaged in the case of extruded or pultruded amounts of plastic to coextrude or co-pultruder a sealing element which would thus be consistent with the amount.
