Description

La présente invention concerne un système de toiture ouvrante, notamment pour véranda ou pour verrière, du genre comportant au moins une travée qui s'étend en pente depuis un profilé de rive supérieur fixé à un mur ou similaire jusqu'à un profilé de rive inférieur formant sablière ou support, en étant fixée à ces profilés, qui est délimitée latéralement par des profilés formant chevrons et qui comprend au moins un panneau mobile pouvant coulisser dans le sens de la pente de la toiture, chaque panneau mobile étant muni d'organes de roulement mobiles dans des chemins de roulement qui sont formés sur lesdits profilés formant chevrons, chacun desdits profilés formant chevrons comportant une âme qui se prolonge symétriquement des deux côtés vers l'extérieur par au moins deux sous-profilés en U superposés.The present invention relates to an opening roof system, in particular for veranda or for glass roof, of the type comprising at least one span which slopes in slope from an upper edge profile fixed to a wall or the like to a lower edge profile forming a plate or support, by being fixed to these profiles, which is delimited laterally by profiles forming rafters and which comprises at least one movable panel which can slide in the direction of the slope of the roof, each movable panel being provided with movable bearings in raceways which are formed on said chevron profiles, each of said chevron profiles having a core which extends symmetrically on both sides towards the outside by at least two superimposed U-shaped sub-profiles.

On connaît de nombreuses formes de réalisation de toitures de ce genre, mais elles présentent toutes un certain nombre d'inconvénients, parmi lesquels il faut citer en premier lieu le fait que le ou les panneaux mobiles tendent à se coincer sur les parties fixes, ce qui oblige à des travaux plus ou moins longs et coûteux pour les débloquer.There are many known embodiments of roofs of this kind, but they all have a certain number of drawbacks, among which we must first mention the fact that the movable panel or panels tend to get stuck on the fixed parts, which requires more or less long and costly work to unlock them.

Comme document illustrant l'art antérieur, on citera notamment le document US-A-4 52 8 785.As a document illustrating the prior art, mention will be made in particular of document US-A-4 52 8 785.

Un but de l'invention est donc de proposer une telle toiture qui soit exempte de cet inconvenient.An object of the invention is therefore to propose such a roof which is free from this drawback.

Selon l'invention, ce but, ainsi que d'autres qui apparaîtront par la suite, comme celui qui consiste à fournir une toiture qui puisse être fabriquée à moindre frais, qui puisse être facilement adaptée à des pentes différentes et dont l'aspect soit satisfaisant sur le plan esthétique, sont atteints grâce à un système du genre spécifié au début, qui est caractérisé par le fait que l'âme est creuse, par le fait que l'un au moins des sous-profilés en U reçoit un bord latéral d'un panneau fixe et que l'autre ou les autres reçoit ou reçoivent, respectivement, un bord latéral d'un panneau mobile, et par le fait que les faces tournées l'une vers l'autre de chacun des sous-profilés en U comportent des rainures en T destinées à l'accrochage à volonté de brosses longitudinales, ou similaires qui portent sur le panneau fixe ou mobile correspondant ou d'une plaque longitudinale d'obturation qui ferme l'extrémité ouverte du sous-profilé en U correspondant.According to the invention, this object, as well as others which will appear subsequently, such as that which consists in providing a roof which can be manufactured at low cost, which can be easily adapted to different slopes and whose appearance is aesthetically satisfactory, are achieved by a system of the kind specified at the start, which is characterized by the fact that the core is hollow, by the fact that at least one of the U-shaped sub-sections receives a lateral edge of a fixed panel and that the other or the others receives or receive, respectively, a lateral edge of a movable panel, and by the fact that the faces turned towards one another of each of the sub-sections in U have T-shaped grooves intended for the attachment at will of longitudinal brushes, or the like which bear on the corresponding fixed or mobile panel or of a longitudinal closure plate which closes the open end of the corresponding U-shaped sub-profile.

Un tel profilé formant chevron est facile à fabriquer, notamment en aluminium extrudé, il est léger et relativement économique et il peut néanmoins supporter des charges importantes. Bien entendu, il est également possible de prévoir un nombre de sous-profilés qui est supérieur à deux, ce qui permet de superposer par exemple deux panneaux mobiles et un panneau fixe, toute autre combinaison étant évidemment envisageable.Such a chevron profile is easy to manufacture, in particular from extruded aluminum, it is light and relatively economical and it can nevertheless withstand heavy loads. Of course, it is also possible to provide a number of sub-sections which is greater than two, which makes it possible, for example, to superimpose two movable panels and a fixed panel, any other combination being obviously possible.

Pour rendre étanches par rapport à ce profilé de chevron les divers panneaux qu'il supporte par leur bord, il peut être prévu des brosses d'un genre classique qui sont solidaires des extrémités libres des ailes des sous-profilés en U du profilé en question et qui portent par leurs poils sur les faces des panneaux associés.To seal the various panels which it supports by their edge with respect to this chevron profile, brushes of a conventional type may be provided which are integral with the free ends of the wings of the U-shaped sub-profiles of the profile in question. and which bear by their hairs on the faces of the associated panels.

De plus, un patin longitudinal peut être interposé entre la face inférieure d'un panneau fixe concerné et la face supérieure de l'aile inférieure du sous-profilé en U associé, notamment afin d'éviter tout écrasement des brosses dont il a été question plus haut.In addition, a longitudinal shoe can be interposed between the underside of a fixed panel concerned and the upper face of the lower wing of the associated U-shaped sub-section, in particular in order to avoid any crushing of the brushes in question. upper.

Comme il y a lieu par ailleurs d'éviter le frottement métal contre métal entre le panneau mobile et le profilé formant chevron, il est avantageusement prévu un patin de guidage longitudinal que l'on interpose entre le chant du panneau mobile et l'âme du sous-profilé en U associé.As it is also necessary to avoid metal against metal friction between the movable panel and the rafter profile, there is advantageously provided a longitudinal guide shoe which is interposed between the edge of the movable panel and the core of the associated U-shaped sub-profile.

En ce qui concerne la structure du profilé formant chevron, on notera encore que son âme est avantageusement constituée par deux parties superposées qui reliées entre elles par des barrettes longitudinales thermiquement isolantes, ce qui diminue notablement les déperditions de chaleur. En outre, les sous-profilés en U qui ne reçoivent aucun panneau peuvent être fermés vers l'extérieur par une plaque d'obturation.With regard to the structure of the chevron-shaped profile, it will also be noted that its core is advantageously constituted by two superimposed parts which are connected to one another by thermally insulating longitudinal bars, which considerably reduces heat loss. In addition, U-shaped sub-sections which do not receive no panels can be closed to the outside by a blanking plate.

Enfin, ce profilé formant chevron peut être prolongé vers le haut et/ou vers le bas par un profilé de renforcement qui en est rendu solidaire, ce qui augmente la résistance à la flexion de la toiture, et, dans ce cas, une partie plus étroite de ce profilé de renforcement peut être insérée dans un espace vide ménagé au-dessus ou au-dessous de l'âme du profilé formant chevron, entre ses sous-profilés en U supérieurs ou inférieurs, respectivement, et y être fixé, par exemple au moyen de goupilles. Dans une variante où cet espace vide n'existe pas, le profilé formant chevron comprend de préférence une plaque de couverture qui est rendue solidaire de son âme et qui remplace les ailes supérieures de ses sous-profilés en U supérieurs.Finally, this rafter profile can be extended upwards and / or downwards by a reinforcing profile which is made integral therewith, which increases the flexural strength of the roof, and, in this case, a more narrow of this reinforcing profile can be inserted into an empty space provided above or below the core of the chevron profile, between its upper or lower U-shaped sub-profiles, respectively, and be fixed there, for example by means of pins. In a variant where this empty space does not exist, the chevron profile preferably comprises a cover plate which is made integral with its core and which replaces the upper wings of its upper U-shaped sub-profiles.

Dans tous les cas, les profilés formant chevrons peuvent être sensiblement symétriques par rapport à un plan vertical, sauf en ce qui concerne ceux qui sont situés à l'extrémité de la toiture dans le sens transversal, auquel cas le profilé formant chevron comprend du côté extérieur un sous-profilé d'angle creux qui peut présenter une arête extérieure arrondie et recevoir un raidisseur pour augmenter la solidité de l'ensemble.In all cases, the rafters can be substantially symmetrical with respect to a vertical plane, except for those which are located at the end of the roof in the transverse direction, in which case the chevron profile comprises on the side exterior a hollow corner sub-profile which may have a rounded outer edge and receive a stiffener to increase the solidity of the assembly.

Avantageusement, chacun des panneaux mobiles de la toiture selon l'invention est relié par au moins un lien flexible, comme une sangle, un câble ou une chaîne, à un cabestan qui est logé dans le profilé de rive supérieur de la toiture, lequel est réalisé sous la forme d'un caisson. Cette disposition permet de cacher à la vue le cabestan et ses organes auxiliaires, tandis que les liens flexibles qui le relient aux panneaux mobiles peuvent être dissimulés dans les profilés formant chevrons.Advantageously, each of the mobile panels of the roof according to the invention is connected by at least one flexible link, such as a strap, a cable or a chain, to a capstan which is housed in the upper edge profile of the roof, which is produced in the form of a box. This arrangement allows the capstan and its auxiliary components to be hidden from view, while the flexible links which connect it to the movable panels can be hidden in the profiles forming chevrons.

En cas de rupture simultanée de tous les liens précités, et pour éviter que les panneaux mobiles ne viennent s'écraser contre le profilé de rive inférieur lors de leur fermeture, un tampon formant butoir est de préférence disposé à l'intérieur de la travée contre le profilé de rive inférieur de la toiture, sur le trajet du panneau mobile concerné. Un parachute supplémentaire peut être constitué par une rampe qui est solidaire d'un profilé formant chevron et qui coopère avec les organes de roulement du panneau mobile et/ou avec une rampe solidaire du panneau mobile. On comprend qu'en cas de chute de ce dernier, ses roues ou sa rampe vient se coincer contre la rampe fixe conjuguée, ce qui l'arrête en toute sécurité. De plus, des éléments en forme de chicanes qui sont fixés sur le profilé supérieur du panneau mobile et sur le profilé inférieur du panneau fixe viennent en contact pour bloquer l'élément mobile.In the event of the simultaneous rupture of all the aforementioned links, and to prevent the movable panels from coming crashing against the lower edge profile when they are closed, a buffer forming a stopper is preferably arranged. inside the span against the lower edge profile of the roof, on the path of the mobile panel concerned. An additional parachute may consist of a ramp which is integral with a chevron profile and which cooperates with the rolling members of the movable panel and / or with a ramp integral with the movable panel. It is understood that in the event of the latter falling, its wheels or its ramp is wedged against the conjugate fixed ramp, which stops it safely. In addition, baffle-shaped elements which are fixed on the upper profile of the movable panel and on the lower profile of the fixed panel come into contact to block the movable element.

Dans les systèmes de toitures ouvrantes qui appartiennent à l'état antérieur de la technique, il est nécessaire d'ajuster les profilés utilisés à l'angle que le toit forme avec l'horizontale, ce qui conduit à des travaux longs et coûteux. Pour pallier cet inconvénient, il est proposé, selon la présente invention, que le toit ouvrant soit monté sur le profilé de rive supérieur et sur le profilé de rive inférieur par l'intermédiaire d'articulations transversales.In opening roof systems which belong to the prior art, it is necessary to adjust the profiles used at the angle that the roof forms with the horizontal, which leads to long and costly works. To overcome this drawback, it is proposed, according to the present invention, that the sunroof be mounted on the upper edge profile and on the lower edge profile by means of transverse joints.

Dans ce cas, il est avantageux que le profilé de rive supérieur soit constitué par un caisson profilé comprenant une cornière dont une aile est rendue solidaire du mur ou similaire et dont l'autre aile porte à son extrémité libre l'une des parties de l'articulation précitée, un profilé, sensiblement en forme de T inversé, dont la semelle est solidaire de la base du toit ouvrant et porte l'autre partie de l'articulation, et dont l'âme se prolonge vers le haut et vers le mur par un auvent en forme de portion de cylindre coaxiale avec l'articulation, et une plaque de recouvrement sensiblement horizontale dont un bord est fixé au mur ou similaire et dont l'autre bord recouvre partiellement l'auvent précité en étant sensiblement tangent à celui-ci. Grâce à cela, l'adaptation à la pente du toit se fait par simple pivotement autour des articulations en question, sans qu'il soit nécessaire de modifier les extrémités des profilés formant chevrons et/ou de prévoir des tôles supplémentaires. Pour sa part, le caisson qui constitue le profilé de rive supérieur est étanche quelle que soit la pente de la toiture, l'auvent et la plaque de recouvrement étant rendus solidaires par des moyens de fixation et/ou des moyens d'étanchéité pouvant être disposés entre eux.In this case, it is advantageous for the upper edge profile to be constituted by a profiled box comprising an angle iron, one wing of which is made integral with the wall or the like and the other wing of which carries at its free end one of the parts of the 'aforementioned joint, a profile, substantially in the shape of an inverted T, the sole of which is integral with the base of the sunroof and carries the other part of the joint, and the core of which extends upwards and towards the wall by a canopy in the form of a cylinder portion coaxial with the articulation, and a substantially horizontal cover plate, one edge of which is fixed to the wall or the like and the other edge of which partially covers the above-mentioned canopy, being substantially tangent thereto this. Thanks to this, the adaptation to the slope of the roof is done by simple pivoting around the joints in question, without it being necessary to modify the ends of the profiles forming rafters and / or provide additional sheets. For its part, the box which constitutes the upper edge profile is waterproof whatever the slope of the roof, the awning and the cover plate being made integral by fixing means and / or sealing means which can be arranged between them.

Afin de pouvoir bloquer les panneaux mobiles en position fermée, il est avantageusement prévu un organe de retenue qui est solidaire du panneau mobile concerné et qui coopère avec une butée amovible solidaire du profilé de rive inférieur. De préférence, cette butée amovible est montée sur une barre qui peut coulisser transversalement et qui coopère avec un contact de fin de course interposé dans le circuit du moteur du cabestan qui actionne le ou les panneaux mobiles. On comprend que cette disposition met le moteur du cabestan dans l'impossibilité de fonctionner lorsque les panneaux mobiles sont bloqués en position fermée par les butées précitées, ceci évitant tout échauffement intempestif qui serait susceptible d'endommager le moteur. Bien entendu, la barre amovible précitée comprend de préférence les butées des divers panneaux mobiles de la toiture.In order to be able to block the movable panels in the closed position, a retaining member is advantageously provided which is integral with the movable panel concerned and which cooperates with a removable stop integral with the lower edge profile. Preferably, this removable stop is mounted on a bar which can slide transversely and which cooperates with an end of stroke contact interposed in the circuit of the capstan motor which actuates the movable panel or panels. It is understood that this arrangement makes the capstan motor unable to operate when the movable panels are blocked in the closed position by the abovementioned stops, this avoiding any untimely heating which could damage the engine. Of course, the aforementioned removable bar preferably comprises the stops of the various mobile panels of the roof.

Selon une forme de réalisation avantageuse, au moins un tube transversal de renfort peut être rendu solidaire de l'un au moins des panneaux mobiles. Par l'intermédiaire de ce tube, il est possible de rendre les divers panneaux mobiles solidaires les uns des autres, ceci permettant notamment de les relier par deux liens flexibles seulement au cabestan qui les déplace.According to an advantageous embodiment, at least one transverse reinforcement tube can be made integral with at least one of the mobile panels. By means of this tube, it is possible to make the various mobile panels integral with one another, this in particular making it possible to connect them by two flexible links only to the capstan which moves them.

Des chicanes étanches disposées entre les panneaux mobiles et les panneaux fixes associés permettent de diminuer les pertes thermiques entre ces panneaux.Sealed baffles arranged between the movable panels and the associated fixed panels make it possible to reduce the heat losses between these panels.

En outre, pour recueillir et évacuer les eaux de pluie, il est avantageusement prévu une gouttière à hauteur réglable qui est solidaire dudit profilé de rive inférieur.In addition, to collect and evacuate rainwater, an adjustable height gutter is advantageously provided which is integral with said lower edge profile.

Enfin, pour la fixation du toit ouvrant selon l'invention aux profilés de rive supérieur et inférieur, on peut avantageusement utiliser des boulons dont la tête est prise dans une rainure qui l'immobile en rotation.Finally, for fixing the sunroof according to the invention to the upper and lower edge profiles, it is possible to advantageously use bolts whose head is caught in a groove which immobilizes it in rotation.

Par ailleurs, les profilés formant chevrons sont reliés entre eux par au moins une barrette longitudinale thermiquement isolante.Furthermore, the chevron profiles are interconnected by at least one thermally insulating longitudinal strip.

The description which follows, and which has no limiting character, will make it possible to understand clearly how the present invention can be put into practice. It should be read against the accompanying drawings, among which:
  • Figure 1 shows a vertical sectional view of an embodiment of the sunroof system according to the invention;
  • Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view, taken perpendicular to the plane of Figure 1, of a chevron profile of two adjacent spans of the system according to the invention;

  • Figure 6 shows on a larger scale, with additional details and with a cutaway, the lower part of the opening roof according to Figure 1.

Dans tout ce qui suit, on supposera que le système de toiture ouvrante selon l'invention se trouve dans sa position normale d'utilisation telle qu'elle est représentée par exemple sur la figure 1, ce qui donne tout leur sens à des expressions comme "inférieur" et "supérieur" ou "vertical" et "horizontal". En outre, on appellera "transversale" la direction qui s'étend perpendiculairement au plan de la figure 1, c'est-à-dire horizontalement et parallèlement au mur ou similaire auquel la toiture ouvrante est normalement fixée et qui est désigné par le repère 1.In all that follows, it will be assumed that the opening roof system according to the invention is in its normal position of use as shown for example in FIG. 1, which gives expressions such as "lower" and "upper" or "vertical" and "horizontal". In addition, the direction which extends perpendicular to the plane of FIG. 1 will be called "transverse", that is to say horizontally and parallel to the wall or the like to which the opening roof is normally fixed and which is designated by the reference 1.

Comme on le voit en particulier sur la figure 1, la toiture ouvrante selon l'invention est constitué, pour l'essentiel, par un caisson transversal 2 qui est fixé au mur 1 et qui est réalisé sous la forme d'un profilé composite, par un profilé de rive de support 3, ou sablière, qui s'étend transversalement, et donc parallèlement au caisson 2, à un niveau inférieur à celui-ci, et par le toit ouvrant proprement dit, 4, dont la partie inférieure est articulée à son extrémité supérieure sur le caisson 2 et à son extrémité inférieure sur le profilé de rive de support 3, de sorte qu'il forme avec l'horizontale un angle qui peut être choisi entre 5 et 45°, comme on le verra par la suite.As can be seen in particular in FIG. 1, the opening roof according to the invention essentially consists of a transverse box 2 which is fixed to the wall 1 and which is produced in the form of a composite profile, by a support edge profile 3, or plate, which extends transversely, and therefore parallel to the box 2, at a level below it, and by the sunroof itself, 4, the lower part of which is hinged at its upper end on the box 2 and at its lower end on the support edge profile 3, so that it forms with the horizontal an angle which can be chosen between 5 and 45 °, as will be seen by the after.

Pour sa part, le toit 4 est composé le plus souvent d'une pluralité de travées 5 solidaires entre elles qui sont contiguës dans le sens transversal et dont une seule est donc visible sur la figure 1, mais il serait également possible, bien entendu, que ce toit 4 ne comprenne qu'une seule travée dans le cas où sa largeur serait relativement faible.For its part, the roof 4 is most often composed of a plurality of spans 5 integral with each other which are contiguous in the transverse direction and of which only one is therefore visible in FIG. 1, but it would also be possible, of course, that this roof 4 only comprises a single span in the case where its width is relatively small.

Dans sa forme de réalisation que montre la figure 1, la travée 5 comprend un panneau vitré fixe 6 qui est divisée en deux parties 6' et 6'', avec interposition d'une traverse 7, et dont l'encadrement est obtenu en partie haute et en partie basse par deux profilés 8' et 8'', respectivement. La travée 5 comprend aussi un panneau vitré mobile 9 qui s'étend parallèlement au panneau fixe 6, mais entièrement audessous de celui-ci, et dont les bords transversaux sont maintenus par des traverses 9' et 9''. L'ensemble des panneaux fixe 6 et mobile 9 est contenu dans un cadre profilé 10 qui sera décrit plus loin d'une manière plus détaillé, dont le profilé de rive inférieur porte le repère 10' et dans lequel le panneau mobile 9 peut rouler parallèlement à lui-même, ce qui est indiqué par la flèche double F1. Un tampon transversal 9a formant butoir est disposé à l'intérieur du cadre 10, contre le profilé de rive 10', et il peut être réalisé sous la forme d'une brosse. Lors de la fermeture du panneau mobile 9, le rôle de ce tampon 9a est d'éviter l'écrasement de ce panneau contre le profilé de rive 10' et d'assurer une certaine étanchéité.In its embodiment shown in Figure 1, the bay 5 comprises a fixed glass panel 6 which is divided into two parts 6 'and 6'', with the interposition of a cross member 7, and whose framing is obtained in part upper and lower by two sections 8 'and 8'', respectively. The span 5 also comprises a movable glazed panel 9 which extends parallel to the fixed panel 6, but entirely below the latter, and the transverse edges of which are held by crosspieces 9 'and 9''. The set of fixed 6 and movable panels 9 is contained in a profiled frame 10 which will be described later in a more detailed manner, the lower edge profile of which bears the mark 10 'and in which the movable panel 9 can roll in parallel to itself, which is indicated by the double arrow F1. A transverse buffer 9a forming a stopper is disposed inside the frame 10, against the edge profile 10 ', and it can be produced in the form of a brush. When closing the movable panel 9, the role of this buffer 9a is to avoid crushing of this panel against the edge profile 10 'and to ensure a certain seal.

En vue de ses déplacements selon la flèche F1, le panneau 9 est relié par l'intermédiaire d'au moins un lien flexible 11 comme une sangle, un câble ou une chaîne à un dispositif de traction réversible comme un treuil mécanique ou, de préférence, un cabestan électrique 12 qui est logé transversalement dans le caisson 2, ce qui le rend invisible. Le cabestan 12 peut être alimenté par le secteur et/ou par une batterie avec onduleur, ce qui le rend insensible aux coupures de courant. En outre, il peut être équipé d'une télécommande, d'un dispositif d'actionnement automatique en cas de pluie ou de vent et/ou d'un contact de fin de course dont une forme de réalisation préférée sera décrite plus loin.In view of its movements along arrow F1, the panel 9 is connected via at least one flexible link 11 such as a strap, a cable or a chain to a reversible traction device such as a mechanical winch or, preferably , an electric capstan 12 which is housed transversely in the box 2, which makes it invisible. The capstan 12 can be powered by the mains and / or by a battery with inverter, which makes it insensitive to power cuts. In addition, it can be equipped with a remote control, an automatic actuation device in the event of rain or wind and / or a limit switch, a preferred embodiment of which will be described below.

Le panneau mobile 9 de chaque travée peut être relié au cabestan 12 par deux liens 11 qui sont fixés par tout moyen convenable aux deux côtés du bord supérieur transversal du panneau concerné, ces deux liens 11 étant alors enroulés sur deux poulies à flasques 13 montées sur l'axe du cabestan 12. En revanche, si les panneaux mobiles 9 de toutes les travées sont rendus solidaires entre eux d'une manière qui sera précisée plus loin, deux liens 11 sont généralement suffisants pour l'ensemble du toit ouvrant.The movable panel 9 of each span can be connected to the capstan 12 by two links 11 which are fixed by any suitable means to the two sides of the transverse upper edge of the panel concerned, these two links 11 then being wound on two flanged pulleys 13 mounted on the axis of the capstan 12. On the other hand, if the movable panels 9 of all the spans are made integral with one another in a manner which will be specified below, two links 11 are generally sufficient for the entire sunroof.

Comme on l'a indiqué plus haut, le cadre profilé 10 de chaque travée 5 est fixé au caisson 2 à sa partie supérieure et à la sablière 3 à sa partie inférieure. Plus précisément, cette fixation a lieu au moyen d'articulations 14 et 15, respectivement, dont l'axe est transversal. Dans l'exemple de réalisation représenté, chacune de ces articulations 14, 15 est constituée par deux organes coaxiaux conjugués qui présentent la forme de crochets en section transversale et dont les surfaces cylindriques en contact permettent une rotation limitée d'un organe par rapport à l'autre. On comprend que la toiture ouvrante selon l'invention peut ainsi présenter un angle quelconque par rapport à l'horizontale, du moins à l'intérieur de limites fixées par l'ouverture des crochets des articulations 14 et 15. Il est clair également que, lors du montage du toit ouvrant 4, les crochets supérieur et inférieur de chaque travée 5 sont insérés depuis l'extérieur dans le sens transversal, simultanément dans les crochets conjugués du caisson 2 et de la sablière 3, respectivement.As indicated above, the profiled frame 10 of each bay 5 is fixed to the box 2 at its upper part and to the sand plate 3 at its lower part. More precisely, this fixing takes place by means of joints 14 and 15, respectively, the axis of which is transverse. In the exemplary embodiment shown, each of these articulations 14, 15 is constituted by two conjugated coaxial members which have the shape of hooks in cross section and whose cylindrical surfaces in contact allow a limited rotation of a member relative to the 'other. It is understood that the opening roof according to the invention can thus present any angle with respect to the horizontal, at least within the limits fixed by the opening of the hooks of the articulations 14 and 15. It is also clear that, during the mounting of the sunroof 4, the upper hooks and lower of each bay 5 are inserted from the outside in the transverse direction, simultaneously in the hooks combined of the box 2 and the plate 3, respectively.

La partie fixe de l'articulation 14 est solidaire de l'extrémité libre de l'aile horizontale 16 d'une cornière 17 dont l'aile verticale est fixée au mur 1. L'autre partie de l'articulation 14, c'est-à-dire celle qui est solidaire de la travée 5, est portée d'un seul tenant par l'extrémité libre de la semelle 18 d'un profilé 19 sensiblement en forme de T inversé. Cette semelle 18 est solidaire de la partie inférieure de la travée 5, cependant que l'aile centrale 20 du profilé 19 s'étend perpendiculairement à elle en formant la face antérieure du caisson 2. De préférence, l'extrémité supérieure de cette aile 20 se prolonge par un auvent 21 présentant la forme d'une portion de cylindre qui s'étend vers le mur 1 et dont l'axe coïncide avec celui de l'articulation 14. Une plaque de recouvrement sensiblement horizontale 22 s'étend transversalement sur toute la longueur du caisson 2, l'un de ses bords transversaux étant fixé au mur 1, comme cela est indiqué schématiquement en 23, tandis que son autre extrémité recouvre partiellement l'auvent 21, avec interposition de moyens d'étanchéité. On comprend que cette disposition assure l'étanchéité et l'opacité à la vue du caisson 2 pour toute position angulaire de la travée 5 par rapport à lui, sans qu'il soit nécessaire d'ajouter des tôles supplémentaires et/ou de couper l'extrémité du chevron qui est tourné vers le mur 1 en fonction de la position angulaire de la travée. Des moyens de fixation indiqués en 24 permettent de rendre solidaires l'auvent 21 et la plaque 22 dans la position angulaire qui a été choisie.The fixed part of the joint 14 is integral with the free end of the horizontal wing 16 of an angle iron 17 whose vertical wing is fixed to the wall 1. The other part of the joint 14 is ie that which is integral with the span 5, is carried in one piece by the free end of the sole 18 of a profile 19 substantially in the shape of an inverted T. This sole 18 is integral with the lower part of the span 5, while the central wing 20 of the profile 19 extends perpendicularly to it, forming the front face of the box 2. Preferably, the upper end of this wing 20 is extended by a canopy 21 having the shape of a cylinder portion which extends towards the wall 1 and whose axis coincides with that of the articulation 14. A substantially horizontal cover plate 22 extends transversely over the whole the length of the box 2, one of its transverse edges being fixed to the wall 1, as indicated diagrammatically at 23, while its other end partially covers the canopy 21, with interposition of sealing means. It is understood that this arrangement ensures sealing and opacity at the sight of the box 2 for any angular position of the bay 5 relative to it, without the need to add additional sheets and / or to cut the end of the rafter which is turned towards the wall 1 as a function of the angular position of the span. Fixing means indicated at 24 make it possible to make the canopy 21 and the plate 22 integral in the angular position which has been chosen.

Il y a lieu de noter encore que le bord de la semelle 18 du profilé 19 qui est opposé à l'articulation 14 présente une gorge de drainage 61 qui évacue les eaux vers les côtés de la véranda. D'autre part, le remplissage des faces latérales de cette dernière est rendu facile et esthétique grâce à l'absence de tout décrochement, quelle que soit la pente de la toiture.It should also be noted that the edge of the sole 18 of profile 19 which is opposite to articulation 14 has a drainage groove 61 which discharges water towards the sides of the veranda. On the other hand, the filling of the lateral faces of the latter is made easy and aesthetic thanks to the absence of any offset, whatever the slope of the roof.

On décrira maintenant la configuration des divers profilés qui peuvent être utilisés pour constituer le cadre 10 de chaque travée 5, et on se référera tout d'abord à la figure 2.The configuration of the various profiles which can be used to constitute the frame 10 of each span 5 will now be described, and reference will first be made to FIG. 2.

La vue en coupe transversale de cette figure représente un profilé 25 qui délimite latéralement deux travées adjacentes 5' et 5'', qui s'étend donc depuis le caisson 2 jusqu'à l'extrémité inférieure du toit 4 et que l'on appellera "profilé de chevron", compte tenu de la terminologie habituellement utilisée dans le domaine des charpentes. Pour simplifier la description, la direction de tels chevrons sera appelée "direction longitudinale" dans ce qui suit.The cross-sectional view of this figure represents a profile 25 which laterally delimits two adjacent spans 5 'and 5' ', which therefore extends from the box 2 to the lower end of the roof 4 and which will be called "rafter profile", taking into account the terminology usually used in the field of frames. To simplify the description, the direction of such rafters will be called "longitudinal direction" in the following.

Le profilé 25, symétrique par rapport à un plan vertical Y-Y', comprend une âme centrale 26 qui est par exemple creuse pour en diminuer le poids et qui se prolonge sur chacun de ses côtés par deux sous-profilés en U ouverts vers l'extérieur, à savoir un sous-profilé supérieur droit 27 destiné à recevoir un bord latéral d'un panneau fixe 6' en appui sur des patins 28 formant support, un sous-profilé inférieur droit 29 dans lequel un panneau mobile 9 roule sur des galets 30, un sous-profilé supérieur gauche 31 qui reste vide et qui est fermé extérieurement par une plaque d'obturation 32 retenue par encliquetage et un sous-profilé inférieur gauche 33 recevant le bord d'un autre panneau fixe 6'' sur d'autres patins 34 formant supports. Bien entendu, les patins 28 et 34 sont régulièrement répartis dans le sens longitudinal sur toute la longueur du bord du panneau fixe 6.The profile 25, symmetrical with respect to a vertical plane Y-Y ', comprises a central core 26 which is for example hollow to reduce its weight and which is extended on each of its sides by two U-shaped sub-profiles open towards the exterior, namely a right upper sub-section 27 intended to receive a lateral edge of a fixed panel 6 'bearing on pads 28 forming a support, a lower right sub-section 29 in which a movable panel 9 rolls on rollers 30, an upper left sub-section 31 which remains empty and which is closed externally by a blanking plate 32 retained by snap-fastening and a lower left sub-section 33 receiving the edge of another fixed panel 6 '' on d 'other pads 34 forming supports. Of course, the pads 28 and 34 are regularly distributed in the longitudinal direction over the entire length of the edge of the fixed panel 6.

L'extrémité libre de l'aile supérieure 27a du sous-profilé supérieur droit 27 présente une rainure longitudinale en T qui est ouverte vers l'intérieur de ce sous-profilé et qui reçoit la monture d'une brosse b1, les poils de celle-ci s'appuyant sur le panneau fixe 6' sur toute la longueur de celui-ci dans le sens longitudinal du profilé 25. De même, les extrémités libres des ailes inférieures 29a et 33a des profilés 29 et 33, respectivement, sont pourvues de rainures longitudinales en T retenant des brosses b2 et b3, respectivement, celles-ci s'appuyant sur toute la longueur de la face inférieure du panneau mobile 9 et du panneau fixe 6", respectivement. L'écrasement des brosses b4 et b3 est évité grâce à la présence des patins correspondants 28 et 34.The free end of the upper wing 27a of the right upper sub-section 27 has a longitudinal T-shaped groove which is open towards the inside of this sub-section and which receives the frame of a brush b1, the bristles of the latter resting on the fixed panel 6 'over the entire length of the latter in the longitudinal direction of the section 25. Similarly, the free ends of the lower wings 29a and 33a of the sections 29 and 33, respectively, are provided with longitudinal T-grooves retaining brushes b2 and b3, respectively, these being supported over the entire length of the lower face of the movable panel 9 and of the fixed panel 6 ", respectively. The crushing of the brushes b4 and b3 is avoided thanks to the presence of the corresponding pads 28 and 34.

Pour sa part, l'extrémité libre de l'aile 27b qui est commune aux sous-profilés en U 27 et 29 porte trois rainures en T ouvertes respectivement vers le haut, vers l'extérieur et vers le bas. Ces rainures peuvent recevoir des brosses en fonction des besoins, comme les brosses b4 et b5 qui portent respectivement sur la face inférieure du panneau fixe 6' et sur la face supérieure du panneau mobile 9. De même, l'aile 31b qui est commune aux sous-profilés en U 31 et 33 se termine à son extrémité libre par trois rainures en T analogues, celle qui s'ouvre vers le bas étant pourvue, dans l'exemple de réalisation, d'une brosse b6 s'appuyant sur la face supérieure du panneau fixe 6".For its part, the free end of the wing 27b which is common to the U-shaped sub-sections 27 and 29 carries three T-grooves open respectively upwards, outwards and downwards. These grooves can receive brushes as required, such as brushes b4 and b5 which bear respectively on the underside of the fixed panel 6 'and on the upper face of the movable panel 9. Similarly, the wing 31b which is common to U-shaped sub-sections 31 and 33 terminate at its free end by three similar T-grooves, the one which opens downwards being provided, in the embodiment, with a brush b6 resting on the face top of the 6 "fixed panel.

La rainure ouverte vers l'extérieur peut recevoir une brosse b7 qui porte sur les extrémités de profilés en forme de chicane 58 (figure 6) qui sont fixés sur le panneau mobile et sur le profilé inférieu du panneau fixe, et sur lesquels on reviendra plus loin.The groove open to the outside can receive a brush b7 which bears on the ends of baffle-shaped profiles 58 (FIG. 6) which are fixed on the movable panel and on the lower profile of the fixed panel, and which we will come back to more far.

Bien que l'on puisse réaliser l'ensemble du profilé 25 d'un seul tenant, par exemple par extrusion, il est préférable de prévoir une isolation thermique entre l'âme 26 et la partie inférieure du profilé 25. Cette dernière comporte alors une âme 35, par exemple creuse, dont la base se prolonge latéralement de part et d'autre par les ailes inférieures 29a et 33a des sous-profilés en U 29 et 33 et dont la partie supérieure est reliée à la base de l'âme supérieure 26 par l'intermédiaire de barrettes longitudinales 36 réalisées en un matériau thermiquement isolant. La partie centrale du fond du sous-profilé en U inférieur 29 est donc constituée par l'une de ces barrettes 36, et un patin de guidage longitudinal 37 peut être interposé entre ce fond et le chant du panneau mobile 9, afin d'éviter à cet endroit tout frottement métal contre métal.Although it is possible to produce the entire profile 25 in one piece, for example by extrusion, it is preferable to provide thermal insulation between the core 26 and the lower part of the profile 25. The latter then comprises a core 35, for example hollow, the base of which extends laterally on either side by the lower wings 29a and 33a of the U-shaped sub-sections 29 and 33 and the upper part of which is connected to the base of the upper core 26 by means of longitudinal bars 36 produced in a thermally insulating material. The central part of the bottom of the lower U-shaped sub-profile 29 is therefore formed by one of these bars 36, and a longitudinal guide pad 37 can be interposed between this bottom and the edge of the movable panel 9, in order to avoid at this point all metal against metal friction.

Entre les sous-profilés en U supérieurs 27 et 31, au-dessus de l'âme supérieure 26, est ménagé un canal longitudinal 38 dans lequel peut être emboîtée une partie inférieure plus étroite d'un profilé supplémentaire de renforcement 39. La liaison entre ce dernier et le profilé 25 peut être assurée par des goupilles 40 régulièrement espacées dans le sens longitudinal. Un tel profilé de renforcement pourrait aussi être fixé à la partie inférieure du profilé 25, cette solution n'étant pas représentée, car elle se déduit de la précédente par une simple symétrie.Between the upper U-shaped sub-sections 27 and 31, above the upper core 26, a longitudinal channel 38 is formed in which a narrower lower part of an additional reinforcing section 39 can be fitted. The connection between the latter and the profile 25 can be provided by pins 40 regularly spaced in the longitudinal direction. Such a reinforcing profile could also be fixed to the lower part of the profile 25, this solution not being shown, because it is deduced from the previous one by a simple symmetry.

Selon une autre variante représentée sur la figure 3, on réalise sous forme pleine et d'un seul tenant l'espace qui était compris dans le profilé 25 entre l'âme supérieure 26 et la partie supérieure des sous-profilés en U 27 et 31 et qui pouvait être occupé par la partie inférieure du profilé de renforcement 39. Les ailes supérieures 27a et 31a des sous-profilés en U 27 et 31 font alors partie d'une plaque de couverture 41 qui est fixée, au moyen de vis 42 régulièrement réparties dans le sens longitudinal, sur l'espace précité qui est ici plein, cette solution étant adoptée lorsque l'on veut obtenir une isolation optimale.According to another variant shown in FIG. 3, the space which was included in the section 25 between the upper core 26 and the upper part of the U-shaped sub-sections 27 and 31 is produced in solid form and in one piece. and which could be occupied by the lower part of the reinforcing profile 39. The upper wings 27a and 31a of the U-shaped sub-profiles 27 and 31 then form part of a cover plate 41 which is fixed, by means of screws 42 regularly distributed in the longitudinal direction, on the aforementioned space which is here full, this solution being adopted when one wants to obtain an optimal insulation.

Lorsque le profilé 25 se trouve être à l'extrémité du toit ouvrant 4 dans le sens transversal, il est bien clair qu'il n'est pas nécessaire qu'il soit pourvu sur ses deux côtés de sous-profilés en U destinés à des panneaux fixes ou mobiles. Comme on le voit sur la figure 4 qui concerne un profilé 25 situé à l'extrême gauche de la toiture ouvrante selon l'invention, la moitié de droite du profilé est identique à celle de la figure 2, mais sa moitié de gauche tournée vers l'extérieur se réduit, pour l'essentiel, à un sous-profilé creux 43 d'un seul tenant qui renferme un raidisseur 44 à section transversale rectangulaire et dont l'arête supérieure gauche 43a peut être arrondie comme cela est représenté, sans que cela soit toutefois indispensable.When the profile 25 is found to be at the end of the sunroof 4 in the transverse direction, it is quite clear that it does not need to be provided on its two sides with U-shaped sub-profiles intended for fixed or mobile panels. As can be seen in FIG. 4 which relates to a profile 25 located at the extreme left of the opening roof according to the invention, the right half of the profile is identical to that of FIG. 2, but its left half turned towards the exterior is essentially reduced to a sub-profile hollow 43 in one piece which contains a stiffener 44 of rectangular cross section and whose upper left edge 43a can be rounded as shown, without this however being essential.

On a examiné jusqu'à présent le cas où la travée 5 comportait un seul panneau mobile 9, ce qui fournissait une possibilité d'ouverture sur 50% environ de la surface du toit 4. Il est toutefois possible d'augmenter cette ouverture jusqu'à 66% environ en prévoyant deux panneaux mobiles superposés et, dans ce cas, comme on le voit sur la figure 5, le profilé 25 comprend trois sous-profilés en U superposés 46, 47 et 48 qui sont respectivement destinés, de haut en bas, à un panneau fixe 6' et à deux panneaux mobiles 9 et 9' roulant respectivement sur des galets 30' et 30". Les sous-profilés en U 47 et 48 sont identiques entre eux et identiques au sous-profilé en U 29 de la figure 2. Quant aux trois sous-profilés en U qui sont représentés à gauche sur la figure 5, ils peuvent servir à loger des panneaux en fonction des besoins. Dans l'exemple représenté, le sous-profilé en U inférieur reçoit un panneau fixe 6'' au-dessus d'un patin 34 et d'une brosse b3, comme dans le cas de la figure 2, et les deux sous-profilés supérieurs sont recouverts chacun par une plaque d'obturation 32' et 32", respectivement.We have so far examined the case where the span 5 had a single movable panel 9, which provided an opening possibility on approximately 50% of the surface of the roof 4. It is however possible to increase this opening up to at around 66% by providing two superimposed movable panels and, in this case, as can be seen in FIG. 5, the section 25 comprises three superimposed U-shaped sub-sections 46, 47 and 48 which are intended respectively, from top to bottom , to a fixed panel 6 'and to two mobile panels 9 and 9' rolling respectively on rollers 30 'and 30 ". The U-shaped sub-sections 47 and 48 are identical to each other and identical to the U-shaped sub-section 29 of Figure 2. As for the three U-shaped sub-sections which are shown on the left in Figure 5, they can be used to accommodate panels as required. In the example shown, the lower U-shaped sub-section receives a panel fixed 6 '' above a shoe 34 and a b3 brush, as in the case of FIG. 2, and the two upper sub-sections are each covered by a closure plate 32 ′ and 32 ", respectively.

En se référant maintenant à la figure 6, celle-ci montre des détails de construction supplémentaires de la toiture ouvrante selon l'invention, et ils vont être examinés successivement.Referring now to Figure 6, this shows additional construction details of the sunroof according to the invention, and they will be examined successively.

Il s'agit tout d'abord de pouvoir bloquer le ou les panneaux mobiles 9 en position fermée. Il est prévu à cette fin une cornière 49 qui est solidaire du bas de chaque panneau mobile 9 et dont une aile s'étend vers le bas à partir de ce dernier. Lors du déplacement vers le haut, dans le sens de la flèche F2, d'un panneau 9 supposé fermé, cette aile rencontre une butée qui est constituée par au moins un doigt 50 monté sur une barre transversale 51 pouvant coulisser dans une rainure en T qui est ménagée à la partie supérieure de la sablière 3 et qui est ouverte vers le haut. On comprend qu'il suffit de retirer la barre 51 par coulissement transversal pour libérer la course vers le haut du panneau mobile 9. Un contact de fin de course non représenté peut coopérer avec une poignée de manoeuvre de la barre 51 pour couper l'alimentation du cabestan 12 lorsque le panneau mobile 9 est bloqué en position fermé par les doigts 50, ce qui permet d'éviter la détérioration par surchauffe du moteur associé. Bien entendu, la barre 51 peut être commune à toutes les travées 5 du toit ouvrant 4.It is first of all to be able to block the movable panel or panels 9 in the closed position. An angle 49 is provided for this purpose, which is integral with the bottom of each movable panel 9 and a wing of which extends downward from the latter. When moving upwards, in the direction of arrow F2, of a panel 9 assumed to be closed, this wing encounters a stop which is constituted by at least one finger 50 mounted on a transverse bar 51 which can slide in a T-groove which is provided at the top of the plate 3 and which is open upwards. It is understood that it suffices to remove the bar 51 by transverse sliding to release the upward movement of the movable panel 9. A limit switch not shown can cooperate with an operating handle of the bar 51 to cut off the supply of the capstan 12 when the movable panel 9 is locked in the closed position by the fingers 50, which makes it possible to avoid deterioration by overheating of the associated motor. Of course, the bar 51 can be common to all the spans 5 of the sunroof 4.

Pour bloquer les panneaux mobiles en cas de rupture simultanée des liens 11 et au cas où les tampons 9a cèderaient en même temps, il peut être prévu des rampes 52 qui sont solidaire de la partie inférieure des profilés 25 et qui sont agencées d'une manière telle que les galets 30 des panneaux mobiles puissent venir se coincer contre elles à la manière d'un parachute d'ascenseur. Ce coincement peut aussi être réalisé, non plus par les galets 30, mais par des rampes conjuguées 53 solidaires des panneaux mobiles 9.To block the mobile panels in the event of simultaneous rupture of the links 11 and in the event that the pads 9a fail at the same time, ramps 52 can be provided which are integral with the lower part of the profiles 25 and which are arranged in a manner such that the rollers 30 of the movable panels can come to wedge against them in the manner of an elevator parachute. This jamming can also be achieved, no longer by the rollers 30, but by conjugate ramps 53 secured to the movable panels 9.

Par ailleurs, un tube transversal de renfort 54 peut rendre solidaires entre eux les panneaux mobiles 9 des diverses travées 5. Un tel tube peut être posé au-dessus du toit ouvrant 4, comme cela est représenté sur la figure 6, ou encore au-dessous de ce toit. Sa présence permet notamment d'utiliser seulement deux liens 11 pour l'ensemble du système, ainsi que cela a été indiqué plus haut. Le tube de renfort 54 est rendu solidaire des divers panneaux mobiles 9 par l'intermédiaire de pattes 55 dont chacune est fixée au panneau correspondant à son extrémité inférieure, cependant que sa tête s'insère par une nervure en T 55a dans une rainure de forme correspondante qui est ménagée transversalement dans le tube 54.Furthermore, a transverse reinforcing tube 54 can make the movable panels 9 of the various spans 5 integral with one another. Such a tube can be placed above the sunroof 4, as shown in FIG. 6, or even under this roof. Its presence allows in particular to use only two links 11 for the whole system, as has been indicated above. The reinforcing tube 54 is made integral with the various mobile panels 9 by means of lugs 55 each of which is fixed to the panel corresponding to its lower end, while its head is inserted by a T-rib 55a in a shaped groove corresponding which is formed transversely in the tube 54.

Enfin, la jonction entre les panneaux fixe 6 et mobile 9 peut comprendre une chicane étanche à l'air et à l'eau qui est représentée en 57 sur la figure 6. Dans cet exemple de réalisation, cette chicane est constituée par des profilés 58, sensiblement en forme de cornières, qui enveloppent les arêtes opposées des panneaux 6 et 9, avec interposition de joints d'isolation 59. Les extrémités libres se faisant face de ces deux cornières 58 sont munies de balais 60 qui portent respectivement sur la face correspondante de l'autre panneau.Finally, the junction between the fixed 6 and mobile 9 panels may include an airtight and water-tight baffle which is shown at 57 in FIG. 6. In this embodiment, this baffle is constituted by profiles 58, substantially in the form of angles, which surround the opposite edges of the panels 6 and 9, with the interposition of insulation joints 59. The free ends facing each other of these two angles 58 are provided with brushes 60 which bear respectively on the corresponding side of the other panel.

On notera encore que le toit ouvrant 4 peut être fixé au caisson 2 et à la sablière 3 au moyen de boulons qui sont représentés schématiquement sur la figure 1, respectivement en 61 et 62, dont la tête est prise dans une rainure adéquate qui l'immobilise, et dont la tige traverse une lumière pour permettre les dilatations. D'autre part, le panneau fixe 6 peut être immobilisé par vissage direct grâce à la configuration des profilés de rive et des profilés des chevrons.It will also be noted that the sunroof 4 can be fixed to the box 2 and to the plate 3 by means of bolts which are shown diagrammatically in FIG. 1, respectively at 61 and 62, the head of which is taken in a suitable groove which immobilizes, and the stem of which passes through a lumen to allow expansion. On the other hand, the fixed panel 6 can be immobilized by direct screwing thanks to the configuration of the edge profiles and the chevron profiles.

Il est clair que, sans sortir du cadre de la présente invention, de nombreuses modifications pourraient être apportées aux formes de réalisation qui viennent d'être décrites. C'est ainsi, par exemple, qu'il est possible de prévoir un nombre de panneaux mobiles supérieur à deux pour chaque travée 5 et que le ou les panneaux mobiles pourraient être disposés au-dessus du panneau fixe 6. En outre, chaque panneau mobile peut être muni de moyens classiques pour entraîner vers le haut le panneau mobile inférieur et des joints d'étanchéité classiques peuvent être disposés entre divers organes du dispositif.It is clear that, without departing from the scope of the present invention, numerous modifications could be made to the embodiments which have just been described. Thus, for example, it is possible to provide a number of movable panels greater than two for each span 5 and that the movable panel or panels could be arranged above the fixed panel 6. In addition, each panel mobile can be provided with conventional means for driving up the lower mobile panel and conventional seals can be arranged between various organs of the device.
