Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a system for assembling parts of generally flat appearance, so as to form either a rectilinear assembly, or a closed configuration.
  • Document FR-A-2122 822 discloses an assembly between two sections of rolling track produced by means of an elastic band arranged alternately around cleats formed on the ends opposite two neighboring sections.
  • This connection is of course elastic, but it is inconvenient because the fitting of the elastic band is long and difficult for young children. The latter can also inadvertently come off the cleats because the immobilization of its ends is random.
  • the improvements which are the subject of the present invention aim to remedy the aforementioned drawbacks and to allow the production of an elastic assembly system which ensures excellent securing of two adjacent parts while allowing easy disassembly without risk of breakage.
  • the system with several connecting elements is characterized in that a first element of the system comprises an elastic bar in a concave arc of a direction in the direction of the outside, disposed between the ends of two axial ears from the considered end of the part in question, while a second element of the system comprises at the opposite end of the part a rigid flange provided with two notches which are crossed during assembly by the ears of the first element so that the bar elastic of the latter comes to bear elastically against the inner face of said rim of the second element.
  • the outer face of the rim of the first element carries two projections outside the notches which each snap into a depression formed in correspondence in the second element of the system.
  • FIG. 1 there is shown in fig. 1 one of the parts of an assembly, the assembly of which is carried out in accordance with the invention.
  • This part is in the form of a rectangular plate 1 comprising a top 1a and a peripheral partition 1b.
  • the first element consists essentially of a bar 2 having the shape of an arc of a circle and whose concavity is oriented towards the outside.
  • This bar is disposed between the ends of two ears 3, 4 extending in an axial direction from the external face of the part of the peripheral partition 1bse located at the level of the considered end of the part 1.
  • the bar 2 is arranged in the axis of symmetry of the end considered; it is offset upwards, then it is located above the ears 3,4 so that it is situated above the plane determined by the free edge of the peripheral partition 1b.
  • the second element of the assembly according to the invention is arranged at the opposite end of the part 1.
  • the peripheral partition 1b is reduced so as to constitute a rigid rim 5 of height less than that of said partition.
  • This rim is hollowed out by two notches 6, 7 whose spacing corresponds to that of the ears 3,4.
  • the external face of each notch is extended by an adjacent tab 8, 9 oriented longitudinally.
  • the peripheral partition 1b extends only over a small part of the side considered, then it is extended by the legs 8, 9.
  • Figures 3 and 4 show the location of the various components of the assembly system in a vertical plane. It can be seen that the total height of the ears 3 and 4 and of the bar 2 is approximately equal to the height of the peripheral partition 1b, in other words that the upper face of said bar is located just below the lower face of the top the of the neighboring element and that the height of the rim 5 of the latter corresponds to the thickness of the bar 2.
  • the exact profile of each ear 3, 4 can be seen, the upper face of which comprises a recess so that they are actually heels 3a, 4a of the ears which penetrate into the notches 6, 7.
  • FIG. 5 there is illustrated in FIG. 5 how the strip 2 is deformed when two neighboring elements are subjected to a traction which is more exactly a torque since the ends of said elements form an angle. Given the low height of the bar 2 and the corresponding rim 5, such a movement automatically causes the rim to be disengaged from the bar because this movement cannot be effected in space in a plane containing strictly the two pieces 1.
  • the two areas 10 and 11 of the peripheral partition 1b situated outside the legs 8 and 9 have a projection produced in the form of a stud 12, 13 (fig. 6).
  • the peripheral partition comprises on either side of the ears 3 and 4 a notch 14, 15 opening on the edge of the partition but whose depth is less than the height of the latter.
  • the pins 12 and 13 come to bear against the external face of the peripheral partition 1b (fig. 7) then they come s 'snap into the notches 14, 15 because they are located exactly opposite the pins (Fig. 8).
  • the position of the latter relative to the edge of the peripheral partition is such that once the upper faces of the two parts 1 are aligned the pins abut against the bottom 14a, 15a of the notches 14, 15 (fig. 9) .
  • each element of the assembly system according to the invention can be associated with the end of two vertical partitions 18, 17 to be assembled.
  • the assembly element comprising the rigid member or rim 5 is attached at the end of the partition 16 in the position strictly identical to that which it occupies when it comes to joining two flat elements and as illustrated in the previous figures.
  • the second element that is to say the one which includes the elastic bar 2 and the two ears 3 and 4
  • the notches 14 and 15 are replaced by two depressions 18, 19 in which the pins 12 and 13 come to engage the end of the edge penetration 5 under the bar 2.
