Description

La présente invention a pour objet une enceinte démontable munie d'ensembles de fixation sur le sol d'éléments de structure de l'enceinte.The present invention relates to a removable enclosure provided with fixing assemblies on the ground of structural elements of the enclosure.

De façon plus précise, la présente invention concerne un ensemble mécanique pour fixer sur le sol des éléments de structure formant l'armature d'une enceinte démontable du type constitué par des bâches qui sont tendues sur les éléments de structure formant ainsi la charpente de l'enceinte.More specifically, the present invention relates to a mechanical assembly for fixing on the ground structural elements forming the frame of a removable enclosure of the type constituted by tarpaulins which are stretched over the structural elements thus forming the frame of the 'pregnant.

On utilise de plus en plus, notamment pour des expositions ou d'autres types de manifestations, des enceintes démontables qui se présentent sous la forme de tentes de grandes dimensions, ces tentes étant constituées par une armature formée par l'assemblage d'éléments de structure sur lesquels on tend des bâches pour réaliser le toit et les murs de l'enceinte. On comprend que pour ce type d'enceinte dont la mise en place n'a lieu que pour une durée limitée, il est souhaitable que le montage et le démontage de l'enceinte soient aussi simples que possible et puissent se faire aussi rapidement que possible.It is increasingly used, especially for exhibitions or other types of events, demountable enclosures which are in the form of tents of large dimensions, these tents being constituted by a frame formed by the assembly of elements of structure on which tarps are stretched to make the roof and walls of the enclosure. It is understood that for this type of enclosure, the installation of which takes place only for a limited period, it is desirable that the assembly and disassembly of the enclosure be as simple as possible and can be done as quickly as possible. .

Il est également souhaitable que le coût de fabrication des différentes pièces, notamment des éléments de structure de l'armature, soit aussi réduit que possible.It is also desirable that the manufacturing cost of the various parts, in particular of the structural elements of the frame, be as low as possible.

Une considération qui permet, d'une part, de réduire les coûts de fabrication et, d'autre part, de simplifier les opérations de montage et de démontage consiste dans le fait de prévoir autant que faire se peut des éléments standard pour constituer les différents éléments de structure ou du moins certaines catégories d'éléments de structure.A consideration which makes it possible, on the one hand, to reduce manufacturing costs and, on the other hand, to simplify assembly and disassembly operations consists in providing as much as possible of standard elements to constitute the various structural elements or at least certain categories of structural elements.

On comprend que les éléments de structure sont constitués par des poteaux verticaux sur lesquels sont montés des sablières et des arbalétriers pour définir le toit de l'enceinte ainsi que des éléments de traverse pour solidariser les poteaux entre eux. Les bâches, notamment celles qui constituent les murs latéraux de l'enceinte, sont le plus souvent engagées sur des traverses respectivement supérieures et inférieures, ces traverses étant horizontales et fixées sur les poteaux verticaux. Enfin, on comprend que les poteaux doivent être fixés à leur extrémité inférieure sur le sol où l'enceinte doit être dressée et il est souhaitable que cette fixation soit aussi simple que possible et ne nécessite aucun travaux de terrassement particuliers.It is understood that the structural elements consist of vertical posts on which are mounted sand pits and rafters to define the roof of the enclosure as well as cross members to secure the posts together. The tarpaulins, in particular those which constitute the lateral walls of the enclosure, are most often engaged on respectively upper and lower crosspieces, these crosspieces being horizontal and fixed on the vertical posts. Finally, it is understood that the posts must be fixed at their lower end to the ground where the enclosure must be erected and it is desirable that this fixing is as simple as possible and does not require any particular earthworks.

Un objet de la présente invention est de fournir une enceinte démontable munie d'ensembles de fixation sur le sol d'éléments de structure et notamment de l'extrémité inférieure des poteaux verticaux et d'une extrémité de barres horizontales de tension des bâches qui soient standard pour les différents poteaux quelle que soit leur position dans l'enceinte démontable et qui soit de plus d'une mise en oeuvre aisée et rapide.An object of the present invention is to provide a demountable enclosure provided with fixing assemblies on the ground of structural elements and in particular of the lower end of the vertical posts and of one end of the horizontal tensioning bars which are standard for the different posts whatever their position in the removable enclosure and which is moreover of an easy and fast implementation .

Le document DE-U-8 610 010 décrit une structure démontable du type tente mais dans laquelle les éléments de fixation au sol des structures ne satisfont pas aux conditions énoncées ci-dessusThe document DE-U-8 610 010 describes a removable structure of the tent type but in which the elements for fixing to the ground of the structures do not meet the conditions set out above.

Pour atteindre ce but, selon l'invention, l'enceinte démontable comportant des éléments de structure fixés au sol par des ensembles de fixation, lesdits éléments de structure comprenant au moins un poteau vertical à section droite rectangulaire ayant un grand côté L et un petit côté l et au moins deux barres horizontales, une extrémité de chaque barre devant être solidarisée avec la partie inférieure dudit poteau, les ensembles de fixation comprenant chacun :
   une semelle d'ancrage au sol comportant une plaque horizontale destinée à être fixée sur le sol et deux flasques parallèles entre eux et perpendiculaires à ladite plaque, la distance entre lesdits flasques étant légèrement supérieure au grand côté de la section droite dudit poteau ;
   un organe de verrouillage apte à pénétrer dans deux orifices ménagés respectivement dans lesdits flasques et dans un trou traversant dudit poteau lorsque son extrémité inférieure est engagée entre lesdits flasques et à solidariser audit poteau une extrémité d'une première barre ; et
   une pièce de renvoi comportant deux portions orthogonales entre elles, une desdites portions étant munie d'un orifice apte à recevoir ledit organe de verrouillage, la deuxième portion comportant un prolongement de fixation faisant saillie hors de ladite deuxième portion pour pénétrer dans un orifice ménagé à une extrémité de la deuxième barre horizontale, la distance entre ladite première portion et ledit prolongement de fixation étant sensiblement égal à la moitié de la longueur séparant les faces externes desdits flasques.To achieve this object, according to the invention, the demountable enclosure comprising structural elements fixed to the ground by fixing assemblies, said structural elements comprising at least one vertical post with rectangular cross section having a large side L and a small side l and at least two horizontal bars, one end of each bar to be secured to the lower part of said post, the fixing assemblies each comprising:
an anchor sole to the ground comprising a horizontal plate intended to be fixed on the ground and two flanges parallel to each other and perpendicular to said plate, the distance between said flanges being slightly greater than the long side of the cross section of said post;
a locking member able to penetrate into two orifices provided respectively in said flanges and in a through hole of said post when its lower end is engaged between said flanges and to secure to said post one end of a first bar; and
a deflection piece comprising two orthogonal portions therebetween, one of said portions being provided with an orifice capable of receiving said locking member, the second portion comprising a fixing extension projecting from said second portion to penetrate into an orifice provided for one end of the second horizontal bar, the distance between said first portion and said attachment extension being substantially equal to half the length separating the external faces of said flanges.

L'invention sera mieux comprise à la lecture de la description qui suit d'un mode de réalisation de l'invention donné à titre d'exemple non limitatif. La description se réfère aux figures annexées sur lesquelles :

  • la figure 1 est une vue en perspective partielle d'une enceinte utilisant l'ensemble de fixation selon l'invention ;

La figure 1 montre un exemple d'enceinte démontable munie d'ensembles de fixation au sol selon l'invention. Cette enceinte est constituée par des éléments de structure formant l'armature de l'enceinte sur lesquels des bâches sont montées pour constituer le toit et les murs verticaux de l'enceinte. Sur cette figure, on a représenté des poteaux verticaux d'angle 12, 14, un poteau vertical 16 pour définir le pignon de l'enceinte, et un poteau intermédiaire 18 pour définir le mur latérale de l'enceinte. On a également représenté des sablières telles que 20 et des arbalétriers tels que 22 fixées à l'extrémité supérieure des poteaux pour définir la structure du doit. On a également représenté un ensemble de barres horizontales supérieures 24 et un ensemble de barres horizontales inférieures 26 de tension des murs solidaires des poteaux sur lesquelles sont engagées les extrémités de bâches verticales 28 afin de constituer les murs verticaux de l'enceinte. La figure 1 montre également une bâche 30 constituant le toit de l'enceinte. Sur cette figure, on a également fait apparaître sous une forme simplifiée des ensembles de fixation au sol des poteaux référencés 32 et 34 pour les poteaux d'angles 12 et 14 et 36 pour le poteau 16 de pignon.FIG. 1 shows an example of a demountable enclosure provided with sets for fixing to the ground according to the invention. This enclosure is made up of structural elements forming the frame of the enclosure on which tarpaulins are mounted to constitute the roof and the vertical walls of the enclosure. In this figure, vertical angle posts 12, 14 are shown, a vertical post 16 to define the gable of the enclosure, and an intermediate post 18 to define the side wall of the enclosure. Also shown are sand pits such as 20 and rafters such as 22 fixed to the upper end of the posts to define the structure of the must. There is also shown a set of upper horizontal bars 24 and a set of lower horizontal bars 26 for tensioning the walls integral with the posts on which the ends of the vertical covers 28 are engaged in order to constitute the vertical walls of the enclosure. Figure 1 also shows a sheet 30 constituting the roof of the enclosure. This figure also shows, in a simplified form, sets for fixing to the ground the posts referenced 32 and 34 for the corner posts 12 and 14 and 36 for the sprocket post 16.

La figure 2 montre la section droite d'un poteau vertical. Il est de façon classique constitué par un profilé d'aluminium 40 de forme générale rectangulaire présentant un petit côté l et un grand côté L. Pour permettre la tenue des bords des bâches telles que 28, le profilé 40 définit deux gorges verticales 42 et 44 de forme circulaire présentant bien sûr une ouverture 46 pour permettre l'engagement d'un jonc disposé sur le bord de la bâche. Comme on le voit, les gorges 42 et 44 sont disposées de part et d'autre d'un petit côté du poteau. Comme le montre la figure 1 et comme le montre mieux la figure 7, compte tenu de la position des gorges 42 et 44 des poteaux verticaux, les poteaux d'angle 12 et 14 doivent être disposés avec leur grand côté parallèle au plan du pignon alors que le poteau central 16 doit être disposé avec son petit côté parallèle à ce plan.Figure 2 shows the cross section of a vertical post. It is conventionally constituted by an aluminum profile 40 of generally rectangular shape having a small side l and a large side L. To allow the edges of the sheets such as 28 to be held, the profile 40 defines two vertical grooves 42 and 44 of circular shape having of course an opening 46 to allow the engagement of a rod arranged on the edge of the sheet. As can be seen, the grooves 42 and 44 are arranged on either side of a small side of the post. As shown in Figure 1 and as best shown in Figure 7, taking into account the position of the grooves 42 and 44 of the vertical posts, the corner posts 12 and 14 must be arranged with their long side parallel to the plane of the pinion while the central post 16 must be arranged with its short side parallel to this plane.

On comprend également que l'ensemble de barres horizontales inférieures 26 doit être fixé sur les ensembles de fixation 32, 34 et 36. Dans le cas des poteaux d'angle 12 et 14, ces barres sont bien sûr perpendiculaires entre elles et l'ensemble de fixation doit comporter des moyens permettant de fixer ces barres selon des directions orthogonales. En outre, il faut que les éléments de fixation pour les poteaux d'angle prennent en compte la différence entre la grande longueur L et la petite longueur l de la section droite des poteaux de telle manière que l'entre-axe entre les poteaux quelle que soit leur position soit toujours la même afin de permettre l'utilisation de barres standard.It is also understood that the set of lower horizontal bars 26 must be fixed to the fixing assemblies 32, 34 and 36. In the case of the corner posts 12 and 14, these bars are of course perpendicular to each other and the assembly fixing must include means for fixing these bars in orthogonal directions. In addition, the fasteners for the corner posts must take into account the difference between the long length L and the short length l of the cross section of the posts so that the center distance between the posts which that either their position is always the same in order to allow the use of standard bars.

La figure 3 montre un mode préféré de réalisation de l'ensemble de fixation au sol 32 permettant la fixation du poteau d'angle 12 et des barres horizontales 50 et 52, la barre 50 étant parallèle au pignon de l'enceinte, la barre 52 étant parallèle à une de ces parois latérales formant un mur. L'ensemble de fixation 32 comporte une semelle d'ancrage au sol 54, un organe de verrouillage 56 et une pièce de renvoi 58. La semelle d'ancrage 54 est constituée essentiellement par une plaque horizontale 60 destinée à être fixée sur le sol et par deux flasques 62 et 64 parallèles entre eux et perpendiculaires à la plaque 60, c'est-à-dire que ces flasques sont verticaux. La plaque 60 comporte deux trous 61 et 63 pour le passage de piquets 65 qui sont enfoncés dans le sol.FIG. 3 shows a preferred embodiment of the fixing assembly to the ground 32 allowing the fixing of the corner post 12 and the horizontal bars 50 and 52, the bar 50 being parallel to the pinion of the enclosure, the bar 52 being parallel to one of these side walls forming a wall. The fixing assembly 32 includes an anchor sole 54 to the ground, a locking member 56 and a deflection piece 58. The anchor sole 54 consists essentially of a horizontal plate 60 intended to be fixed to the ground and by two flanges 62 and 64 parallel to each other and perpendicular to the plate 60, that is to say that these flanges are vertical. The plate 60 has two holes 61 and 63 for the passage of stakes 65 which are driven into the ground.

Comme le montre mieux les figures 4a et 4b, la distance L'entre les flasques 62 et 64 est légèrement supérieure à la grande dimension L d'une section droite d'un poteau vertical. Ainsi, l'extrémité inférieure 12a du poteau peut être engagée entre les flasques. En outre, chaque flasque comporte un orifice respectivement référencé 66 et 68 qui présente un axe commun horizontal. L'extrémité inférieure 12a du poteau 12 est également munie de deux orifices 70 qui sont donc traversants pour le poteau et disposés parallèlement à la grande longueur L de la section droite du poteau. L'élément de verrouillage 56 est de préférence constitué par une goupille 72 qui peut être engagée dans les orifices 66 et 68 des flasques et dans les orifices 70 du poteau. La goupille 72 est équipée d'une goupille auxiliaire 74 solidarisée à la goupille principale par une chaînette et elle peut être engagée dans un orifice 76 ménagé à proximité d'une extrémité de la goupille 72 afin d'immobiliser celle-ci après son engagement dans les flasques et dans l'extrémité inférieure du poteau.As best shown in Figures 4a and 4b, the distance L'between the flanges 62 and 64 is slightly greater than the large dimension L of a cross section of a vertical post. Thus, the lower end 12a of the post can be engaged between the flanges. In addition, each flange has an orifice respectively referenced 66 and 68 which has a horizontal common axis. The lower end 12a of the post 12 is also provided with two orifices 70 which are therefore through for the post and arranged parallel to the great length L of the cross section of the post. The locking element 56 is preferably constituted by a pin 72 which can be engaged in the holes 66 and 68 of the flanges and in the holes 70 of the post. The pin 72 is equipped with an auxiliary pin 74 secured to the main pin by a chain and it can be engaged in an orifice 76 formed near one end of the pin 72 in order to immobilize the latter after its engagement in the flanges and in the lower end of the post.

La pièce de renvoi 58 est constituée par une plaque en forme de L comportant une première portion 78 et une deuxième portion 80 orthogonales entre elles. La deuxième portion 80 est munie d'un orifice 84 tandis que la première portion 78 est munie d'un prolongement de fixation constitué, dans ce mode particulier de réalisation, par un téton 86 faisant saillie hors de la face externe de la portion 78. Pour réaliser la solidarisation des extrémités des barres 50 et 52, on met tout d'abord en place l'extrémité inférieure du poteau entre les flasques 62 et 64, on introduit alors la goupille 72, on engage également la pièce de renvoi sur la goupille de telle manière que celle-ci pénètre dans l'orifice 84 et on engage également sur l'extrémité de la goupille l'extrémité de la barre 52 qui est munie de l'orifice 88. On introduit alors la goupille annexe 74 dans l'orifice 76 pour assurer son immobilisation. Pour effectuer la fixation de la barre 50 on engage l'orifice 90 dont est munie l'extrémité de la barre 50 autour du béton 86 et une goupille annexe 92 qui peut être engagée dans l'orifice 93 ménagée dans le téton permet d'immobiliser l'extrémité de cette barre.The reference piece 58 is constituted by an L-shaped plate comprising a first portion 78 and a second portion 80 orthogonal to each other. The second portion 80 is provided with an orifice 84 while the first portion 78 is provided with a fixing extension constituted, in this particular embodiment, by a stud 86 protruding from the external face of the portion 78. To secure the ends of the bars 50 and 52, we first put in place the lower end of the post between the flanges 62 and 64, we then introduce the pin 72, we also engage the return piece on the pin in such a way that the latter enters the orifice 84 and the end of the bar 52 which is provided with the orifice 88 is also engaged on the end of the pin. The annex pin 74 is then introduced into the orifice 76 to secure it. To carry out the fixing of the bar 50, the orifice 90 with which the end of the bar 50 is provided is engaged around the concrete 86 and an annex pin 92 which can be engaged in the orifice 93 formed in the stud makes it possible to immobilize the end of this bar.

Comme on le voit sur la figure 5b, la distance L1 entre la portion 80 de la pièce de renvoi et son téton 86 est sensiblement égale à la moitié de la distance entre les faces externes des flasques 62 et 64 de la semelle d'ancrage. On comprend qu'ainsi, comme le montre mieux la figure 7, le téton 86 après le montage de la pièce de renvoi 58 se trouve dans le médian PP' du poteau 12. La figure 4a montre que les flasques 62 et 64 ne sont pas disposés symétriquement sur la plaque 60 mais qu'un de leurs bords est disposé au ras d'un bord de la plaque 60. Cette disposition facilite la mise en place éventuelle d'une porte rigide qui peut ainsi être montée au ras du poteau vertical engagé dans la semelle de fixation. De préférence, comme le montre la figure 7, une des extrémités des barres horizontales 26, 26', 50, 50' est munie d'un trou oblong 90 et son autre extrémité est en fait munie d'un trou circulaire 106. Cette disposition permet de compenser d'éventuelles dispersions dans les entre-axes entre les semelles de fixation. Cependant le trou circulaire permet un positionnement très précis de la barre par rapport au poteau à son extrémité correspondante. Cela est particulièrement intéressant dans le cas du montage d'une partie rigide.As can be seen in FIG. 5b, the distance L1 between the portion 80 of the deflection piece and its stud 86 is substantially equal to half the distance between the external faces of the flanges 62 and 64 of the anchoring flange. We understand that thus, as shown better in Figure 7, the stud 86 after mounting the return piece 58 is in the middle PP 'of the post 12. Figure 4a shows that the flanges 62 and 64 are not arranged symmetrically on the plate 60 but one of their edges is disposed flush with an edge of the plate 60. This arrangement facilitates the possible installation of a rigid door which can thus be mounted flush with the vertical post engaged in the mounting plate. Preferably, as shown in FIG. 7, one of the ends of the horizontal bars 26, 26 ', 50, 50' is provided with an oblong hole 90 and its other end is in fact provided with a circular hole 106. This arrangement allows to compensate for possible dispersions in the inter-axes between the fixing plates. However, the circular hole allows very precise positioning of the bar relative to the post at its corresponding end. This is particularly interesting in the case of mounting a rigid part.

Il découle de la description précédente que l'ensemble de fixation sur le sol est spécialement adapté au cas des poteaux d'angle 12 et 14 mais qu'il peut s'adapter aux poteaux centraux 16. En effet, comme on l'a déjà expliqué dans le cas des poteaux d'angle 12 ou 14, conformément à l'invention, on utilise la pièce de renvoi 58, ce qui permet la fixation d'une extrémité des barres selon les deux directions orthogonales et, dans le cas les figures 6 et 7, l'extrémité des barres telles que 50 et 50' sont directement engagées sur l'extrémité de l'organe de verrouillage 56 associé au poteau central. On voit ainsi qu'on réalise une standardisation des éléments de structure puisque les entre-axes entre les poteaux, qu'ils soient disposés dans un sens ou dans l'autre, sont les mêmes et que la semelle de fixation au sol et l'organe de verrouillage sont également les mêmes quelle que soit la position du poteau, seule l'adjonction de la pièce de renvoi conforme à l'invention ou non permettant l'adaptation à la position particulière du poteau.It follows from the preceding description that the fixing assembly on the ground is specially adapted to the case of the corner posts 12 and 14 but that it can adapt to the central posts 16. In fact, as has already been explained in the case of corner posts 12 or 14, in accordance with the invention, the deflection piece 58 is used, which allows the fixing of one end of the bars according to the two orthogonal directions and, in the case of FIGS. 6 and 7, the end of the bars such as 50 and 50 ′ are directly engaged on the end of the locking member 56 associated with the central post. It is thus seen that a standardization of the structural elements is carried out since the inter-axes between the posts, whether they are arranged in one direction or the other, are the same and that the sole for fixing to the ground and the locking member are also the same regardless of the position of the post, only the addition of the deflection piece according to the invention or not allowing adaptation to the particular position of the post.

Il faut également noter que les extrémités inférieures des poteaux verticaux sont montées sur les goupilles 72, elles-mêmes engagées dans les flasques des semelles d'ancrage. Il en résulte que les poteaux verticaux présentent une possibilité de pivotement autour des goupilles pour absorber des contraintes mécaniques éventuelles qui pourraient leur être appliquées par le reste de la structure. On voit que cette possibilité existe toujours pour les poteaux d'angle bien que leurs extrémités inférieures soient reliées à deux barres inférieures disposées orthogonalement. En effet, une des barres est solidaire de la pièce de renvoi 58 qui est elle-même montée pivotante sur la goupille 72, l'autre barre étant directement montée sur la goupille 72. En conséquence, même dans ce cas, on évite un encastrement rigide de l'extrémité inférieure du poteau.It should also be noted that the lower ends of the vertical posts are mounted on the pins 72, themselves engaged in the flanges of the anchoring flanges. As a result, the vertical posts have a possibility of pivoting around the pins to absorb any mechanical stresses which could be applied to them by the rest of the structure. We see that this possibility still exists for corner posts although their lower ends are connected to two lower bars arranged orthogonally. In fact, one of the bars is integral with the deflection piece 58 which is itself pivotally mounted on the pin 72, the other bar being directly mounted on the pin 72. Consequently, even in this case, installation is avoided rigid from the lower end of the post.
