Description

1 2788555

  The invention relates to a door, window or similar assembly plus rolling shutter comprising a sleeping frame capable of receiving an opening frame and surmounted by a rolling shutter box accommodating a mechanism for winding an apron provided capable of coming deploy externally to the door or window while being guided, laterally, by means of slides attached directly or through taps on the uprights of said sleeping frame, this box being defined by an external wall, an upper wall, an internal wall and a sub-face, at the level of

  the latter being provided a slot for the passage of the deck.

  The invention relates to the field of building carpentry and relates, in particular, to a window or door assembly,

plus roller shutter.

  More and more frequently, research is carried out in the field of

  construction, to limit the time of interventions on site.

  Also, we tend to design pre-assembled sub-assemblies

  whose implementation on site is made easier.

  Thus, if it was customary, until then, to deliver on a building site, window, window and door type windows in a configuration devoid of rolling shutters, moreover obliging the erection operators to install first these joinery before mounting said rolling shutters, it is more common, currently, to have a set that has just been reported, in one piece, at the construction level. More

  exactly, we now have door or window blocks -

  rolling shutter, made up of a sleeping frame provided capable of receiving an opening frame and surmounted, at its upper cross member, by a rolling shutter box incorporating the entire mechanism thereof. This roller shutter box is defined by an outer wall, an upper wall, an inner wall and an underside at the level of which there is a slot for the passage of an apron. It is provided capable of winding around a winding shaft housed in said box and deploying, outside the door or window. For this purpose, at the uprights of the sleeping frame are attached, directly or to the

2 2788555

  through tapped (profiles forming spacers), slides communicating with the interior of the box through the slot in the underside. These slides ensure the maintenance and lateral guidance of said deck. It will be specified, in this regard, that the slot for passage of the deck at the level of the underside of the box is delimited by the longitudinal outer edge of this wall corresponding to said underside and by the lower longitudinal edge of the wall. outside of the box. Note that at these edges delimiting said slot, there are possibly sealing means, such as brushes or the like. To better understand the problem posed, reference will be made, in the following description relating to the state of the art in FIGS. 1 and 2 of the attached drawings, illustrating, in FIG. 1, the installation of 'a carpentry at the level of a construction in the absence of a rolling shutter, while, in Figure 2, there is shown a window unit block or rolling shutter door in

its current configuration.

  Insofar as this type of door or window unit - rolling shutter B is provided capable of being attached to the wall on the masonry, internal side to a wall M, it is arranged, in particular for sealing issues to the air, so that the additional thickness produced by the assembly slides C - possibly tapped - frame D, on the internal side of the masonry, is at least equal to the thickness of the lining wall P which internally receives the wall M. Ultimately, the usefulness of a tap, therefore of a profile forming a spacer between the slide C and the frame D, is only necessary in the event of a lining wall P of thickness important. It may also prove useful when, on the periphery of an opening in a wall corresponding to a door, window or the like, there is provided, on the internal side, a recess making it possible to define a reservation for accommodation

  window unit or roller shutter holder.

  This being the case, this thickness corresponding to the slide assembly - possible typing and sleeping frame is, in all cases,

3 2788555

  less than the depth of a roller shutter box V so that it extends further towards the interior of the dwelling and is usually projecting from the internal side of the lining wall P. In these conditions, this roller shutter box V appears, not only, unsightly, but, above all, annoyance, considerably, the installation of blinds, curtains or the like. Indeed, such blinds or the like cannot be fixed at the level of the underside S of the box without interfering with the opening of the door or window. Also, should it be placed at the front of the inner wall I of the box which comes to

  shift significantly from this door or window.

  In addition, the fixing also poses some difficulties since it is usually excluded to make these blinds integral with this internal wall I of the box, the latter serving, usually, as an inspection hatch and therefore of access to the winding mechanism. of

roller shutter curtain.

  Apart from this unsightly aspect and difficulties linked to the installation of a blind or equivalent, these boxes V which are projecting with respect to the internal side of the lining wall P require, internally, the presence of thermal insulation on five sides, namely the five sides communicating with the interior of the dwelling, namely the upper wall, the inner wall, the underside and the side walls. In this regard, it will be observed that the winding shaft of the deck is usually maintained at its ends by support cheeks capable of defining, in themselves, these side walls. However, when they are visible, even partially, it is essential to improve their aesthetic appearance with the aid of lateral flanges which then close, in addition, these

boxes at their ends.

  This obligation to provide thermal insulation of a box on five of its faces is troublesome, not only from an economic point of view insofar as the design of these insulation means and their installation lead to an increase in the price cost of these roller shutters, but, in addition, these materials

4 2788555

  insulation necessarily generate additional space inside the box. In addition, their effectiveness is, at times, questionable insofar as there is rarely continuity between the insulation material at the level of a face compared to an adjacent face because of the inspection hatch that

  usually defines the internal wall of this box.

  We have also imagined placing the box cantilevered outwards on the upper crossmember of the frame. In fact, such a solution requires the use of additional fixing means capable of supporting the weight of this box and of the

rolling shutter it houses.

  In addition, it should be recalled that it is customary for a person skilled in the art to place the slot for the passage of the apron in a plane which is tangent to the roller defined by this apron in position, at the level of the underside. fully rolled up. Also, in the situation mentioned above, it is necessary to use taps, inserted between the uprights of the frame and

  the backstage, incredibly thick.

  It is obvious that such typing alone leads to a substantial increase in the cost price of these window units or rolling shutter holders. In addition, these taps come, then, to constitute a sort of covering of the embrasure in the masonry, solution which, from an esthetic point of view is rarely accepted. In the end, the present invention, by going against habits in the matter, has been able to provide an answer in all points of interest to the aforementioned problems. In this sense, the solution according to the invention makes it possible to avoid the drawbacks arising from a rolling shutter box projecting from the internal side of a dwelling, but also it responds to the economic constraints which this type of block currently poses. window or door plus roller shutter. To this end, the invention relates to a door, window or similar assembly plus rolling shutter, comprising a sleeping frame capable of receiving an opening frame and surmounted by a shutter box.

2788555

  rolling accommodating a winding mechanism of a provided apron capable of being deployed outside the door or window while being guided laterally by means of slides, attached directly or even through taped, on the uprights of said sleeping frame, this box being defined by an external wall, an upper wall, an internal wall and an underside, at the latter being provided a slot for the passage of the deck, characterized in that said box is disposed on the upper cross member of the sleeping frame so that its internal wall is located substantially in the extension of the plane passing through the internal side, as the case may be, of the sleeping frame or of the opening frame,

  while the underside is subdivided into two sections of underside

  face delimiting between them the slot for the passage of the apron, one of these sections defining, at the lower end of the outer wall of the box, a return towards the sleeping frame, while the other section comes to extend at least above the upper crossmember of the frame to join, at one of its longitudinal edges, the internal wall of the box,

he is united.

  According to a first embodiment, the sub-face section extending below the upper cross member of the frame

is defined by said crosspiece.

  Under these conditions, the other underside section is advantageously in the form of a planable section which can be cut to allow its width to be adjusted. Such a profile also preferably comprises at least one longitudinal edge provided with fixing means, in particular by clipping, defined able to cooperate with complementary fixing means at the level of the lower edge.

of the outer wall of the box.

  According to another embodiment, the underside is defined by a profile in the form of a board which can be cut in its length and comprising, at each of its longitudinal edges, fixing means, in particular by clipping, capable of cooperating with additional fixing means associated as appropriate

6 2788555

  the lower edge of the inner wall or the outer wall of the box. According to another feature of the present invention, the box has, at its underside, a recess and extends at least partially in front of the upper cross member of the

sleeping frame.

  In particular, as can be seen in FIG. 1, in the absence of rolling shutters, the joinery defined by the sleeping frame D is applied to the masonry M over the entire periphery of the opening O in the latter and in particular at height of its upper cross member T. It will be noted, in particular, that this upper cross member T defines, with respect to the lintels L, a slight recess authorizing the fitting of a gasket J. In particular, this gasket J is made through a suitable sealant and applied using a spray gun provided for this purpose. If we now refer to FIG. 2, representing a window unit assembly plus rolling shutter, we can see that the offset relative to the lintels L, is here defined by the external wall E of the box V of the rolling shutter. Also, for an opening O given in a masonry, it can be seen that the dimensions of the sleeping frame D of the door or window are not the same depending on whether this door or window is or is not intended to receive a roller shutter. In fact, if we took a sleeping frame with the dimensions as shown in Figure 1 and if we came to associate a box v of rolling shutter, the installation of the seal J should be done at the rear lintel L,

  at a level not accessible to the carpenter.

  Ultimately, through the recess that defines the box by extending to the front of the upper cross member of the frame, we answer this problem, in the sense that, for a determined opening, the frame window or door frame can have identical dimensions depending on whether it is intended to be fitted with a roller shutter or not. It will come out even more

  through the description which follows.

7 2788555

  In this regard, this description, referring to an example of

  realization given as an indication and not limiting, will be better understood in light of the attached drawings in which: - Figure 3 corresponds to a schematic and sectional representation of the layout of a door or window assembly - roller shutter at masonry of a building, this in

  a configuration according to the invention.

  - Figure 4 is a schematic perspective view in section of the box alone; - Figure 5 is a schematic representation in perspective and side of the box as illustrated in Figure 4; - Figure 6 is a schematic perspective view of an extension of support cheeks, traceable, in length. As shown in Figure 3 of the accompanying drawings, the present invention relates to a block assembly 1 window, door or the like 2 plus rolling shutter 3 comprising, therefore, a frame 4 adapted to receive an opening frame 5 shown

  approximately and in broken lines in this figure 3.

  In addition, this sleeping frame 4 is surmounted by a box 6 of rolling shutter accommodating an apron winding mechanism (not shown) provided capable of deploying, outside the door or window 2, while being guided, laterally , by means of slides 7 attached directly or even through a

  tapped on the uprights of said frame 4.

  In this regard, it will be observed that this unit block 1, door, window or the like 2 plus rolling shutter 3 is intended to come to apply on the internal side 9 of a masonry wall 10, in line with an opening 11 in the latter, corresponding to the opening

a door, window or the like.

  In fact, on this wall 10, on the internal side of the dwelling, is usually applied a lining wall 12 whose thickness

  13 depends on the quality of thermal insulation to be obtained.

  Usually, it is sought to ensure that the thickness 14, corresponding to the frame 4, plus the slide 7, and a

8 2788555

  possible tapping inserted between the latter and said sleeping frame 4, ie substantially equal to this thickness 13 of the lining wall 12. It is thus understood that the presence of a tapping, defined in the form of a profile forming spacer between the slide 7 and the sleeping frame 4, will often depend on this

  thickness 13 of the lining wall 12.

  As for the box 6, it is defined, essentially, by an external wall 15, an upper wall 16 and an internal wall 17, the latter defining, usually, an access inspection hatch inside the box 6, that -ci further comprising an underside 18 at which is provided a slot 19 for the passage of the deck. Note that the slides 7 communicate with the interior

  of the box 6 through this slot 19.

  As shown in Figures 3, 4 and 5 of the accompanying drawings, the particularity of the present invention lies in the fact that the box 6 is arranged on the upper cross member 20 of the frame 4 so that its inner wall 17 is located , substantially, in the extension of the plane 21; 21A passing through the internal side

  22; 22A, as the case may be, of the sleeping frame 4 or the opening frame 5.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the offset existing between the plane 21 corresponding to the internal side 22 of the sleeping frame 4 and that 21A passing through the internal side 22A of the opening frame 5 is relatively small and corresponds to the thickness of the covering flange 23 of this frame opening 5 relative to the frame

sleeping 4.

  To this it should be added that, according to the invention, the sub-

  face 18 is subdivided into two sub-face sections 18A, 18B delimiting, between them, the slot 19 for the passage of the deck. One 18A of these sections defines, at the lower end 24 of the external wall 15, a return towards the sleeping frame 4, while the other section 18B extends at least above the upper crosspiece 20 of this sleeping frame 4 to join at one of its longitudinal edges, the internal wall 17 of the box 6

with which he is made integral.

9 2788555

  In short, through this design, the apron passage slot 19 will no longer be at the immediate edge of the lower end 24 of the external wall 15, as was the practice of those skilled in the art. This slot 19 can now be located at any location at the level of this underside 18 so as to be positioned at the level of the slides 7 attached to the sleeping frame 4, directly or by means of taps, this depending of a variable parameter

  corresponding to the thickness 13 of a lining wall 12.

  According to a first embodiment not shown, the section

  underside 18B is defined by the upper cross member 20, it

  even of the sleeping frame 4. The other sub-face section 18A is then defined by a plane section, which can be cut, to allow its width 30A to be adjusted. In addition, it advantageously comprises fixing means 27 at at least one of its longitudinal edges 26, allowing it to cooperate with complementary fixing means 27 fitted to the lower end 24 of

the outer wall 15.

  According to another embodiment, the underside 18 is defined by a profile in the form of a board of standard width which can be cut across its length and whose longitudinal edges 25, 26 are configured so as to cooperate, using suitable fixing means 27, 28, in particular by clipping, with complementary fixing means associated with the lower edge 29 of the internal wall 17 and the lower end 24 of the

outer wall 15.

  Ultimately, as is evident from the description which

  above, the manufacturer of this type of carpentry may have, in its manufacturing range, only one and the same profile in the form of a board intended to define an underside and provided for

  satisfy all sizes of roller shutter boxes 6.

  Thus, at the time of the design of its block assembly 1, it comes to cut this profile in the form of a board to give the section of subfaces 18A, just like that of 18B, the width, respectively

30A, 30B, appropriate.

2788555

  Note that the intersected edges 251, 261 of these underside sections 18A, 18B and delimiting the slot 19, can receive a finishing profile and / or means making it possible to seal this

  box 6 at the height of this slot 19, this with respect to the deck.

  In particular, sealing brushes can be added to the

level of these borders 251, 261.

  Similarly and as visible more particularly in FIG. 4, on these edges 251, 261 of the underside sections 18A, 18B can be added, at least partially, the tulips 31 intended to promote the engagement of the blades of the apron

in the side slides 7.

  According to another characteristic of the present invention, at the level of the underside 18 is defined a recess 32 leading the box 6 to extend, in its part 33 located on the external side with respect to the sleeping frame 4, at least partially at -in front of

  the upper cross member 20 of this sleeping frame 4.

  Such a downward projection of the box at the front of the sleeping frame 4 has a double advantage: - It allows a gain in height of the box 6 to the extent o in the particular arrangement and in accordance with the invention of this box 6 by relative to the sleeping frame 4, the slot 19 at the level of the underside 18 is not necessarily located in a plane tangent to the drum 34 formed by the roller shutter wound inside this box 6, but slightly in- below said drum 34. Also, it is necessary to have under this drum 34 and relative to the entry of the slides 7, a height 35 sufficient to allow the deck to join said slides 7. It should, in fact, be recalled that if the slats making up a roller shutter curtain are articulated with respect to each other, this articulation allows, in reality, only a limited pivoting between two successive slats in the opposite direction to the pivoting which occurs between these slats during e the winding of the

apron in the box.

  In summary, and as is clear from FIG. 4, if the entry 36 of the slides 7 were to be located substantially at the same level, it 2788555 as the upper edge of the cross-member 20 of the frame 4, ie at the section of undersides 18B, it would be advisable to offset, substantially, the axis 37 of the winding shaft of the roller shutter deck. Also, the height of the box above this upper cross member 20 of the frame 4 would be increased. - The second advantage of a design according to the invention, is shown in FIG. 3 where it can be seen that for an opening 11 of height 11A given in the wall 10, the dimensions of the frame 4 of the door, window or the like 2, remain unchanged whether or not this sleeping frame is intended to be surmounted by a

roller shutter 3.

  It is, in fact, recalled in the introductory part above, that the underside of a roller shutter box had to be at the same level, or even slightly below the level 38 of the lintel 39 (or as shown here of its fallout) to allow the installation of a seal 40 between the box 6 and the masonry. In a traditional configuration shown in Figure 2, it is necessary to ensure that the height of the frame D is at most equal to the height of the opening O in the wall M, while, in the absence of box roller shutter and as visible in Figure 1, this height of the frame D must be slightly greater than this opening O. To the two essential advantages set out above, it will also be observed that, always for an opening 11 of height 11A determined in a wall 10, the glazed surface of a window-shutter block assembly is greater compared to the glazed surface of a window-shutter block assembly designed according to the state

of technique.

  On this, it will also be noted that, at its lateral ends, the box 6 receives support cheeks 41 of the winding shaft of the roller shutter, or even, also if these support cheeks 41 are not waterproof, lateral flanges coming, for

Therefore, close this box.

12 2788555

  Because of the step 32 defined by the box at the height of its subface 18, said support cheeks 41 are of a shape adjusted to the internal dimensions of this box 6 and also include

  in their lower part 42, a step 43.

  Advantageously, this recess 43 in the lower part 42 of a support cheek 41 results from a support cheek extension 44 (visible in FIG. 6) comprising fixing means 45 provided capable of cooperating with complementary fixing means 46 at level of the lower edge 47 of said support cheek 41. This support cheek extension 44 is preferably crosscut in length, which makes it possible to easily adjust the positioning of the recess 43 relative to that 32 at the height of the sub- face

18 of box 6.

  Substantially, the fixing means 45 are in the form of hooks 45A provided capable of being inserted into openings 46A present at the level of the lower edge 47 of the support cheek 41 and defining the complementary fixing means 46. So as to adjust the positioning of the slides 17 relative to these support cheeks 41, fixing means 49 can ensure their connection. In particular, such fixing means 49, as visible in FIG. 5, can be in the form of a metal blade 50 extending in a groove or a channel 51 provided in the slide 7 where it is fixed. This blade 50 also comes to cooperate with the support cheek 41 or even the support cheek extension 44 with which it is, here again, made integral, either by clipping means, or by means of fixings, such as

screws, rivets or others.

  As is apparent from the above description, the present

  invention responds advantageously to the state of the art. Although the invention has been described in connection with a particular embodiment, it is understood that it is in no way limited thereto and that various modifications can be made to it.
