Connection between the panels is provided by channel sections whose upper horizontal part is fixed to the underface of the facing edges of the panels to be assembled and is extended by vertical flanges. A space is provided between the panels and is extended through openings in the horizontal part of the channel sections for allowing removal of rain water.

Description

La présente invention a pour objet la réalisation d'un terrain de sport, spécialement d'un court ou d'un mini-court de tennis, d'un type amovible et transportable pouvant être installé avec facilité, temporairement ou durablement, sur toute surface horizontale.The subject of the present invention is the production of a sports field, especially a tennis court or mini-court, of a removable and transportable type which can be installed easily, temporarily or durably, on any surface. horizontal.

A cet effet le terrain de sport, en particulier court ou mini-court de tennis, est constitué d'un ensemble de panneaux assemblés entre eux à l'aide d'éléments de liaison, cet ensemble de panneaux étant posé sur une surface horizontale ou sur le sol naturel. L'ensemble amovible ainsi réalisé peut être installé par exemple, pendant la saison d'été sur les terrains de foot-ball et les patinoires de montagne alors inuti- lisés et, pendant la saison d'hiver, sur les courts de tennis en terre battue ou plus généralement sur tout autre terrain disponible temporairement ou durablement.To this end, the sports field, in particular a tennis court or mini-court, is made up of a set of panels assembled together using connecting elements, this set of panels being placed on a horizontal surface or on natural soil. The removable assembly thus produced can be installed, for example, during the summer season on the football field and basketball mountain rinks then inuti - most and, during the winter season on clay tennis courts battered or more generally on any other land temporarily or permanently available.

Les recherches effectuées par l'inventeur l'avaient amené à proposer, dans son certificat d'utilité français n° 81.02685, d'assembler les panneaux constituant le terrain à l'aide de plaques rigides de préférence en métal disposées sous les jointures des panneaux et fixées à ceux-ci. Cependant, l'expérience a montré qu'une telle disposition ne donne pas toute satisfaction car il se produit une déformation des panneaux, due en particulier à la différence importante de température et/ou d'hygrométrie existant entre les deux faces de chaque panneau, que les plaques de liaison ne peuvent pas empêcher.The research carried out by the inventor had led him to propose, in his French utility certificate No. 81.02685, to assemble the panels constituting the terrain using rigid plates, preferably of metal, placed under the joints of the panels. and attached to them. However, experience has shown that such an arrangement is not entirely satisfactory since there is a deformation of the panels, due in particular to the significant difference in temperature and / or hygrometry existing between the two faces of each panel, which the connection plates cannot prevent.

C'est donc l'objet de la présente invention de proposer un mode différent de disposition des panneaux et d'assemblage de ceux-ci entre eux qui remédie aux inconvénients des dispositifs connus, en permettant en particulier d'éviter toute déformation des panneaux, d'assurer l'assemblage fiable'de ceux-ci, de fournir une surface de jeu présentant une souplesse appréciable et d'éviter, en cas d'eau stagnante, que le niveau de celle-ci puisse atteindre le niveau des panneaux.It is therefore the object of the present invention to propose a different mode of arrangement of the panels and assembly of these together which overcomes the drawbacks of the known devices, by making it possible in particular to avoid any deformation of the panels, to ensure the reliable assembly of these, to provide a playing surface having appreciable flexibility and to avoid, in the case of stagnant water, that the level thereof may reach the level of the panels.

A cet effet, selon l'invention, chaque panneau repose sur le sol, préalablement nivelé, par l'intermédiaire d'une plaque isolante, en toute matière convenable telle par exemple que le polystyrène ou le polyuréthane, et l'assemblage des panneaux entre eux est obtenu par des éléments de liaison, de préférence métalliques, présentant chacun une partie horizontale fixée à la sous-face de deux panneaux adjacents et des -parties verticales prenant appui sur le sol.To this end, according to the invention, each panel rests on the ground, previously leveled, by means of an insulating plate, in any suitable material such as, for example, polystyrene or polyurethane, and the assembly of the panels between them is obtained by connecting elements, preferably metallic, each having a horizontal part fixed to the underside of two adjacent panels and vertical parts resting on the ground.

On comprend que les plaques de matière isolante, disposées sous les panneaux, ont un quadruple rôle :

  • a) elles ménagent en hauteur le passage des parties verticales des éléments de liaison fixés aux panneaux,
  • b) elles isolent du sol la face inférieure des panneaux et évitent ainsi de soumettre celle-ci à des écarts de température ou d'hygrométrie importants par rapport à la face exposée à l'atmosphère en permettant de neutraliser en partie la tendance des panneaux à se déformer,
  • c) elles maintiennent les panneaux à une distance du sol telle (de l'ordre de 20 millimètres) que, dans les cas normaux d'installation, elles les mettent nettement au-dessus du niveau des eaux ou des flaques d'eau pouvant se former à la suite de pluies,
  • d) elles fournissent une souplesse à la surface de jeu et procurent ainsi un confort et une sécurité pour les utilisateurs en prévenant les risques de fatigue articulaire.
It is understood that the plates of insulating material, placed under the panels, have a quadruple role:
  • a) they provide height for the passage of the vertical parts of the connecting elements fixed to the panels,
  • b) they isolate the underside of the panels from the ground and thus avoid subjecting the latter to significant differences in temperature or hygrometry with respect to the face exposed to the atmosphere by making it possible to partially neutralize the tendency of the panels to deform,
  • c) they keep the panels at a distance from the ground such (of the order of 20 millimeters) that, in normal installation cases, they place them clearly above the water level or puddles which may be train as a result of rains,
  • d) they provide flexibility to the playing surface and thus provide comfort and security for users by preventing the risk of joint fatigue.

.Les éléments de liaison utilisés ont de leur côté un double rôle :

  • a) ils constituent des éléments raidisseurs s'opposant aux forces de déformation des panneaux pouvant subsister malgré l'utilisation des plaques isolantes,
  • b) ils assurent la solidarisation des panneaux entre eux sur la largeur ou sur la longueur.
The connecting elements used have a dual role:
  • a) they constitute stiffening elements opposing the deformation forces of the panels which may remain despite the use of the insulating plates,
  • b) they secure the panels to each other over the width or over the length.

Avantageusement, on peut disposer entre les plaques isolantes et le sol une nappe textile perméable à l'eau mais imperméable aux éléments constituant le sol, qui autorisera l'écoulement de l'eau de pluie dans le sol tout en empêchant les éléments constitutifs du sol de remonter.Advantageously, one can have between the insulating plates and the ground a textile sheet permeable to water but impermeable to the elements constituting the soil, which will allow the flow of rainwater into the soil while preventing the constituent elements of the soil to go up.

On notera encore que les panneaux utilisés selon l'invention peuvent être avantageusement réalisés à l'aide de matériaux résistant aux intempéries pour les usages du terrain en extérieur. Les panneaux peuvent notamment être réalisés à l'aide de contreplaqués spéciaux éventuellement revêtus d'un produit de surface imperméable et antidérapant.It will also be noted that the panels used according to the invention can advantageously be produced using weather-resistant materials for outdoor use on the ground. The panels can in particular be made using special plywoods which may be coated with a waterproof and non-slip surface product.

Selon une forme d'exécution préférée de l'invention, chaque élément de liaison est réalisé sous la forme d'une coulisse à profil en U dansla partie supérieure horizontale de laquelle sont ménagées des ouvertures destinées à permettre sa fixation, par exemple par vissage, aux bords en regard des sous-faces de deux panneaux adjacents à assembler. Selon une variante, les parties verticales peuvent présenter à leur extrémité inférieure un retour horizontal dirigé vers l'intérieur, donnant à la coulisse un profil en oméga.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, each connecting element is produced in the form of a U-shaped slide in the horizontal upper part of which are provided openings intended to allow its fixing, for example by screwing, at the opposite edges of the undersides of two adjacent panels to be assembled. According to a variant, the vertical parts may have at their lower end a horizontal return directed inwards, giving the slide an omega profile.

Avantageusement, les bords des panneaux adjacents, en position assemblée, sont écartés entre eux d'une petite distance et, dans l'espace libre ainsi ménagé, la face horizontale de l'élément de liaison présente des ouvertures pour permettre l'écoulement de l'eau de pluie à la périphérie de chacun des panneaux.Advantageously, the edges of the adjacent panels, in the assembled position, are spaced apart from each other by a small distance and, in the free space thus provided, the horizontal face of the connecting element has openings to allow the flow of the rainwater at the periphery of each of the panels.

Selon une autre forme d'exécution, chaque élément de liaison est constitué par deux cornières dont les ailes horizontales sont fixées à la sous-face des bords en regard de deux panneaux adjacents et dont les ailes verticales qui se font face sont solidarisées ensemble, par exemple par soudage ou par boulonnage. Les bords des panneaux adjacents, de même que les ailes verticales d'assemblage des cornières fixées à ces panneaux sont écartées d'une petite distance pour permettre l'évacuation de l'eau de pluie.According to another embodiment, each connecting element is constituted by two angles, the horizontal wings of which are fixed to the underside of the edges facing two adjacent panels and the vertical wings of which face each other are secured together, by example by welding or bolting. The edges of the adjacent panels, as well as the vertical assembly wings of the angles fixed to these panels are spread a small distance to allow the evacuation of rainwater.

Enfin, selon une caractéristique supplémentaire de l'invention, on peut obtenir un écoulement plus rapide des eaux de pluie en réalisant un léger cintrage des panneaux permettant d'obtenir sur chaque panneau une pente dirigeant l'eau du centre du panneau vers sa périphérie c'est-à-dire vers le sol.Finally, according to an additional characteristic of the invention, it is possible to obtain a faster flow of rainwater by carrying out a slight bending of the panels making it possible to obtain on each panel a slope directing the water from the center of the panel towards its periphery c that is to say down to the ground.

Pour bien faire comprendre le dispositif selon l'invention, on en décrira ci-après deux formes d'exécution préférées en référence au dessin schématique annexé dans lequel :

  • la figure 1 est une vue en coupe verticale montrant l'assemblage de deux panneaux adjacents au moyen d'une première forme d'exécution d'élément de liaison à profil en oméga ;
  • la figure 2 est une vue en perspective, montrant l'assemblage de panneaux à l'aide des éléments de liaison selon la figure 1, orientés longitudinalement et transversalement ; la.figure 3 est une vue en coupe verticale montrant l'assemblage de deux panneaux adjacents à l'aide d'un élément de liaison selon une seconde forme d'exécution de l'invention;
  • la figure 4 est une vue en perspective montrant la réalisation de liaisons longitudinales et transversales entre panneaux à l'aide d'éléments de liaison selon la figure 3 ; et
  • la figure 5 est une vue en coupe verticale montrant un mode de réalisation d'un panneau cintré.
To clearly understand the device according to the invention, two preferred embodiments will be described below with reference to the appended schematic drawing in which:
  • Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view showing the assembly of two adjacent panels by means of a first embodiment of connecting element with omega profile;
  • Figure 2 is a perspective view showing the assembly of panels using the connecting elements according to Figure 1, oriented longitudinally and transversely; la.figure 3 is a vertical sectional view showing the assembly of two adjacent panels using a connecting element according to a second embodiment of the invention;
  • Figure 4 is a perspective view showing the realization of longitudinal and transverse connections between panels using connecting elements according to Figure 3; and
  • Figure 5 is a vertical sectional view showing an embodiment of a curved panel.

En référence aux figures 1 et 2, on a représenté en 1 , le sol naturel, préalablement nivelé et éventuellement légèrement compacté. Le nivelage peut avantageusement être réalisé à l'aide' d'un apport de sable, de sablon ou de tout venant. Sur le sol 1 est disposée une nappe textile 2 formant une couche isolante perméable à l'eau mais imperméable aux éléments constituant le sol et empêchant ainsi ces éléments de remonter. Sur le textile 2 sont placées, légèrement écartées les unes des autres, des plaques isolantes 3 réalisées en polystyrène, en polyuréthane ou en une matière analogue, d'une épaisseur de l'ordre de 20 millimètres environ. Sur chaque plaque isolante 3 est posé (et éventuellement fixé) un panneau 4 constitué en un matériau résistant aux intempéries pour les usages du court en extérieur. Le panneau 4 peut notamment être réalisé à l'aide d'un contreplaqué spécial éventuellement revêtu d'un produit de surface imperméable et antidérapant.Referring to Figures 1 and 2, there is shown in 1, the natural soil, previously leveled and possibly slightly compacted. Leveling can advantageously be carried out with the aid of an addition of sand, sand or anything else. On the ground 1 is disposed a textile sheet 2 forming an insulating layer permeable to water but impermeable to the elements constituting the ground and thus preventing these elements from rising. On the textile 2 are placed, slightly spaced from each other, insulating plates 3 made of polystyrene, polyurethane or a similar material, with a thickness of the order of about 20 millimeters. On each insulating plate 3 is placed (and possibly fixed) a panel 4 made of a weather-resistant material for outdoor court uses. The panel 4 can in particular be produced at using a special plywood, possibly coated with a waterproof and non-slip surface product.

La liaison entre les panneaux 4 est assurée à l'aide d'éléments de liaison 5 constitués chacun par un profilé métallique présentant une partie horizontale supérieure 6 se poursuivant, de chaque côté, par une partie verticale 7 présentant à son extrémité inférieure un retour horizontal 8 orienté vers l'intérieur, de sorte que l'élément de liaison 5 présente un profil en oméga.The connection between the panels 4 is ensured by means of connection elements 5 each constituted by a metal profile having an upper horizontal part 6 continuing, on each side, by a vertical part 7 having at its lower end a horizontal return 8 oriented inward, so that the connecting element 5 has an omega profile.

L'élément de liaison 5 est disposé en dessous des bords adjacents de deux panneaux 4, dans l'espace 9 laissé libre par les plaques isolantes 3.The connecting element 5 is arranged below the adjacent edges of two panels 4, in the space 9 left free by the insulating plates 3.

La face supérieure 6 est alors fixée à la sous-face des panneaux adjacents 4 par des vis 10 traversant des ouvertures 11 des panneaux 4 et des trous 12 à écrou incorporé ménagés dans la face supérieure 6 de l'élément 5. Cette fixation pourrait toutefois s'effectuer par tout autre moyen approprié, par exemple à l'aide de clips.The upper face 6 is then fixed to the underside of the adjacent panels 4 by screws 10 passing through openings 11 in the panels 4 and holes 12 with incorporated nut formed in the upper face 6 of the element 5. This fixing could however be done by any other appropriate means, for example using clips.

En position d'assemblage des panneaux.4, les bords adjacents de ceux-ci sont écartés d'une petite distance 13 (pouvant être de. l'ordre de 5 millimètres) dans le prolongement de laquelle la face supérieure 6 de l'élément 5 présente des ouvertures 14 permettant l'écoulement de l'eau de pluie vers le sol.In the assembly position of the panels. 4, the adjacent edges of these are spaced a small distance 13 (which may be of the order of 5 millimeters) in the extension of which the upper face 6 of the element. 5 has openings 14 allowing the flow of rainwater to the ground.

Comme on le voit à la figure 2 les éléments de liaison 5, outre leur rôle d'assemblage, ont aussi un rôle de raidisseurs en s'opposant aux forces de déformation des panneaux 4 pouvant subsister malgré la disposition des plaques isolantes 3. Disposés longitudinalement et transversalement, les éléments de liaison 5 empêchent les déformations des panneaux 4 sur la largeur et sur la longueur.As seen in Figure 2 the connecting elements 5, in addition to their role of assembly, also have a role of stiffeners by opposing the deformation forces of the panels 4 which may remain despite the arrangement of the insulating plates 3. Arranged longitudinally and transversely, the connecting elements 5 prevent the deformations of the panels 4 over the width and over the length.

En référence aux figures 3 et 4, on a représenté le sol naturel 1, la nappe textile 2 perméable à l'eau, les plaques isolantes 3 et les panneaux 4. La liaison entre les panneaux 4 est assurée par des cornières métalliques 15, la face supérieure de l'aile horizontale 16 de la cornière 15 étant fixée à la face inférieure du panneau 4 alors que l'aile verticale 17 de cornière, dirigée vers le bas, est destinée à être rendue solidaire, par boulonnage dans l'exemple représenté, de l'aile verticale 17 en regard de la cornière 15 fixée au panneau 4 adjacent. La fixation de l'aile verticale de la cornière 15 à la face inférieure du panneau 4 s'effectue, par exemple, à l'aide de vis 18 coopérant avec des écrous 19 préfixés sur la cornière, mais elle pourrait s'effectuer par tout autre moyen approprié éventuellement à l'aide de clips ou d'autres systèmes.Referring to Figures 3 and 4, there is shown the natural floor 1, the textile sheet 2 permeable to water, the insulating plates 3 and the panels 4. The connection between the panels 4 is provided by metal angles 15, the upper face of the horizontal wing 16 of the angle iron 15 being fixed to the lower face of the panel 4 while the vertical wing 17 of the angle iron, directed downwards, is intended to be made integral, by bolting in the example shown , the vertical wing 17 opposite the angle 15 fixed to the adjacent panel 4. The attachment of the vertical wing of the angle 15 on the underside of the panel 4 is effected, for example, using screws 18 cooperating with nuts 19 fixed to the angle, but it could be effected by any other appropriate means possibly using clips or other systems.

Les cornières 15, qui jouent aussi le rôle de raidisseurs, sont disposées longitudinalement et transversalement, comme on le voit à la figure 4, en empêchant les déformations des panneaux 4 sur la largeur et sur la longueur. On comprend que, pour une meilleure compréhension de cette figure, on a procédé à un arrachement des panneaux 4 et qu'en réalité chaque plaque isolante 3 supporte un panneau 4 auquel sont fixées les cornières 15.The angles 15, which also play the role of stiffeners, are arranged longitudinally and transversely, as can be seen in FIG. 4, preventing the deformations of the panels 4 over the width and over the length. It is understood that, for a better understanding of this figure, the panels 4 were torn off and that in reality each insulating plate 3 supports a panel 4 to which the angles 15 are fixed.

Comme on le voit en particulier à la figure 3, un petit espace 20 (pouvant être de l'ordre de 5 millimètres) est ménagé entre les panneaux 4 et un espace du même ordre est ménagé entre les ailes verticales des cornières 15 afin de permettre un écoulement des eaux de pluie à travers la construction puis à travers le textile perméable 2.As can be seen in particular in FIG. 3, a small space 20 (which may be of the order of 5 millimeters) is provided between the panels 4 and a space of the same order is provided between the vertical wings of the angles 15 in order to allow a flow of rainwater through the construction and then through the permeable fabric 2.

Pour faciliter l'écoulement de cette eau de pluie, il est possible de réaliser la plate-forme du sol 1 suivant une légère pente (de l'ordre de 1 %).To facilitate the flow of this rainwater, it is possible to make the platform of the ground 1 along a slight slope (of the order of 1%).

Afin d'obtenir un écoulement plus rapide des eaux de pluie on peut réaliser, ainsi qu'on l'a représenté à la figure 5, un léger cintrage des panneaux 4 par fixation sur leur face inférieure, parallèlement à la largeur par exemple, d'un ou plusieurs éléments raidisseurs 21 (cornière ou coulisse) et de cales 22 de quelques millimètres d'épaisseur (de l'ordre par exemple de 4 millimètres) permettant d'obtenir sur chaque panneau 4 une pente dirigeant l'eau du centre vers la périphérie, c'est-à-dire vers le sol.In order to obtain a faster flow of rainwater, it is possible, as shown in FIG. 5, to slightly bend the panels 4 by fixing on their underside, parallel to the width for example, d '' one or more stiffening elements 21 (angle or slide) and shims 22 a few millimeters thick (of the order for example of 4 millimeters) making it possible to obtain on each panel 4 a slope directing the water from the center towards the periphery, that is to say towards the ground.

On comprendra que la description ci-dessus n'a été fournie qu'à simple titre d'exemple et que des adjonctions ou des modifications constructives pourraient y être apportées sans sortir du cadre de l'invention. En particulier, on comprendra que les retours horizontaux 8 de l'élément de liaison 5 des figures 1 et 2 pourraient être orientés vers l'extérieur ce qui permettrait, en prévoyant des ailes verticales 7 faisant avec la partie horizontale 6 un angle légèrement obtus, de pouvoir empiler les éléments 5 pour le transport.It will be understood that the above description has been provided simply by way of example and that additions or constructive modifications could be made thereto without departing from the scope of the invention. In particular, it will be understood that the horizontal returns 8 of the connecting element 5 of FIGS. 1 and 2 could be oriented towards the outside, which would allow, by providing vertical wings 7 making with the horizontal part 6 a slightly obtuse angle, to be able to stack the elements 5 for transport.
