Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif d'assemblage d'éléments longilignes avec variation angulaire conforme au préambule de la revendication 1.The present invention relates to a device for assembling elongate elements with angular variation in accordance with the preamble of claim 1.

Le but de l'invention est le montage d'éléments longilignes articulés entre eux autour d'un point.The object of the invention is the mounting of elongated elements hinged together around a point.

Ces éléments peuvent intervenir dans des réalisations de différentes formes dans un certain espace pour servir de supports ou autres.These elements can intervene in realizations of different forms in a certain space to serve as supports or others.

Par exemple, ces éléments peuvent être utilisés pour la réalisation d'une rampe ou main courante dont l'écartement des supports, l'inclinaison par rapport à l'horizontale et le changement de direction dans un plan horizontal peuvent être à volonté réglés en fonction des besoins.For example, these elements can be used for the realization of a ramp or handrail whose spacing of the supports, the inclination relative to the horizontal and the change of direction in a horizontal plane can be adjusted as desired according to needs.

On connait déjà du FR-A-1 571 730 un noeud d'assemblage d'éléments de treillis.FR-A-1 571 730 already knows a node for assembling trellis elements.

Ce noeud d'assemblage est constitué par un corps pismatique à six pans, auquel est fixé, avec possibilité de variation angulaire, trois pièces en forme de coupe à chacune desquelles se fixent deux éléments de treillis.This assembly node consists of a pismatic six-sided body, to which is fixed, with the possibility of angular variation, three pieces in the form of a cup, to each of which two lattice elements are attached.

Ce type de noeud requiert autant d'éléments de fixation qu'il y a de coupes et ne permet pas d'importante variation angulaire de pièces en forme de coupe les unes par rapport aux autres.This type of knot requires as many fastening elements as there are cuts and does not allow significant angular variation of parts in the form of a cut with respect to each other.

On connait du brevet US-A-2 929 473 un autre noeud d'assemblage d'éléments de treillis.We know from US-A-2 929 473 another node for assembling trellis elements.

Ce noeud d'assemblage est constitué par un corps sphérique qui est maintenu en position dans l'espace par trois éléments tendeurs. Contre ce corps sphérique s'appuie trois barres de compression.This assembly node consists of a spherical body which is held in position in space by three tensioning elements. Against this spherical body leans three compression bars.

Chaque élément tendeur est constitué par un ruban tendeur fixé à une pièce qui est fixée au corps sphérique par une vis ou autre organe de fixation.Each tensioning element is constituted by a tensioning tape fixed to a part which is fixed to the spherical body by a screw or other fixing member.

Ce type de noeud requiert également autant d'organes de fixation qu'il y a d'éléments tendeurs.This type of knot also requires as many fixing members as there are tensioning elements.

De plus, ce type de noeud offre une faible possibilité de variation angulaire des pièces les unes par rapport aux autres.In addition, this type of node offers a low possibility of angular variation of the parts relative to each other.

En outre, les deux types de noeuds d'assemblage de l'art antérieur ne sont pas prévus pour la liaison de deux éléments longilignes avec un poteau, un montant, ou autre élément fixe.In addition, the two types of assembly nodes of the prior art are not intended for the connection of two elongated elements with a post, an upright, or other fixed element.

La présente invention a pour objet un dispositif d'assemblage de deux éléments longilignes avec variation angulaire du type décrit ci-dessus comportant un corps sphérique, deux manchons présentant une surface transversale de contact avec le corps.The present invention relates to a device for assembling two elongated elements with angular variation of the type described above comprising a spherical body, two sleeves having a transverse contact surface with the body.

Ce dispositif est caractérisé par un seul moyen de fixation interne aux manchons et au corps sphérique traversant de part en part la paroi transversale de chaque manchon, le corps sphérique et le montant potentiel qui est engagé dans un logement du dit corps, transversal au moyen de fixation.This device is characterized by a single internal fixing means to the sleeves and to the spherical body passing right through the transverse wall of each sleeve, the spherical body and the potential upright which is engaged in a housing of said body, transverse by means of fixation.

Suivant une forme de réalisation préférentielle, ce corps est divisé en deux demi-sphères identiques de préférence creuses montées de part et d'autre du montant intercalaire sur ses coés. Un seul moyen de fixation peut fixer ensemble le corps sphérique, le ou les manchons et le montant si ce dernier existe.According to a preferred embodiment, this body is divided into two identical preferably hollow half-spheres mounted on either side of the intermediate upright on its sides. A single fixing means can fix together the spherical body, the sleeve (s) and the upright if the latter exists.

Suivant encore une autre disposition de l'invention, le corps sphérique et les manchons sont dotés chacun d'une lumière oblongue verticale.According to yet another arrangement of the invention, the spherical body and the sleeves are each provided with a vertical oblong lumen.

Une lumière du corps sphérique et une luminère du manchon viennent l'une en face de l'autre et se superposent, partiellement ou complètement, en glissant l'une par rapport à l'autre pour donner un champ d'articulation maximum.A lumen of the spherical body and a lumen of the sleeve come opposite one another and overlap, partially or completely, sliding relative to each other to give a maximum articulation field.

Le corps sphérique peut être encore doté d'une lumière oblongue horizontale qui dessine ou non une croix avec la lumière oblongue verticale.The spherical body can also be provided with a horizontal oblong light which may or may not draw a cross with the vertical oblong light.

Suivant encore une autre disposition de l'invention, chaque moitié du corps sphérique peut être dotée d'un orifice en forme de tronc de cône dont la grande base se trouve sur la surface sphérique, pour permettre une articulation du manchon par rapport à ce corps défini par l'angle solide tracé par la surface conique et la lumière oblongue faite sur le manchon.According to yet another arrangement of the invention, each half of the spherical body may be provided with an orifice in the form of a truncated cone, the large base of which is located on the spherical surface, to allow articulation of the sleeve relative to this body. defined by the solid angle traced by the conical surface and the oblong light made on the sleeve.

Suivant une autre disposition, les deux parties du corps sphérique sont dotées chacune sur leur côté intérieur de formes saillante et creuse.According to another arrangement, the two parts of the spherical body are each provided on their inner side with protruding and hollow shapes.

Les formes saillante et creuse d'une partie du corps sphérique coopèrent respectivement avec les formes creuse et saillante de l'autre partie, pour positionner ces deux parties l'une par rapport à l'autre de façon à assurer la continuité de la surface sphérique.The protruding and hollow shapes of one part of the spherical body cooperate respectively with the hollow and protruding shapes of the other part, to position these two parts relative to each other so as to ensure the continuity of the spherical surface .

D'autres avantages et caractéristiques de l'invention apparaitront à la lecture de la description ci-après d'un mode de réalisation donné à titre d'exemple et illustré par les dessins joints dans lesquels:Other advantages and characteristics of the invention will appear on reading the following description of an embodiment given by way of example and illustrated by the accompanying drawings in which:

Tel que représenté, le dispositif d'assemblage d'éléments longilignes avec variation angulaire, selon l'invention est composé:

  • - d'un corps 1 comportant une ou plusieurs portions de surface sphérique; ce corps peut être simplement un corps sphérique 1,
  • - d'un ou plusieurs manchons 3,4 de préférence tubulaire présentant une paroi transversale 3A et 4A constituant une surface de contact avec la portion correspondante de surface sphérique du corps 1.
La dite surface de contact est de préférence de même courbure que la portion correspondante du corps sphérique ou de courbure permettant un appui de la surface de contact sur celle du corps. Le nombre de ces manchons peut varier selon le besoin, ces manchons peuvent être montés sur le même corps sphérique et fixés par paire par un même moyen de fixation 5, ou fixés chacun séparément par un ou plusieurs moyens de fixation.As shown, the device for assembling elongated elements with angular variation, according to the invention is composed:
  • - A body 1 comprising one or more spherical surface portions; this body can simply be a spherical body 1,
  • - one or more sleeves 3,4, preferably tubular, having a transverse wall 3A and 4A constituting a contact surface with the corresponding portion of spherical surface of the body 1.
Said contact surface is preferably of the same curvature as the corresponding portion of the spherical body or of curvature allowing the contact surface to rest on that of the body. The number of these sleeves can vary as needed, these sleeves can be mounted on the same spherical body and fixed in pairs by the same fixing means 5, or each fixed separately by one or more fixing means.

La fixation des manchons par rapport au corps sphérique peut donc être simultanée ou non.The fixing of the sleeves relative to the spherical body can therefore be simultaneous or not.

La figure 1 présente une forme d'assemblage selon l'invention dans lequel le corps sphérique 1 et les manchons 3, 4 sont liés par un seul moyen de fixation 5 sur un montant 2 emboité dans un logement en creux du corps 1.FIG. 1 shows a form of assembly according to the invention in which the spherical body 1 and the sleeves 3, 4 are linked by a single fixing means 5 on an upright 2 fitted into a hollow housing of the body 1.

Le montant 2 se loge dans le corps sphérique; ce montant est doté lui-même d'un perçage débouchant 10.The upright 2 is housed in the spherical body; this amount is itself endowed with a through hole 10.

La figure 8 présente une autre forme d'assemblage selon l'invention dans lequel le corps sphérique 1 et les manchons 3, 4 sont reliés par un seul moyen de fixation sur un montant 7 qui est intercalaire et traverse le dit corps.FIG. 8 shows another form of assembly according to the invention in which the spherical body 1 and the sleeves 3, 4 are connected by a single fixing means on an upright 7 which is inserted and passes through said body.

Ce montant 7 est doté d'un orifice débouchant 11, le corps 1 étant de préférence comme énoncé plus loin réalisé en deux demi-sphères identiques. Le corps 1 peut être utilisé avec les manchons 3,4 comme noeud d'assemblage avec ou sans montant.This upright 7 is provided with a through orifice 11, the body 1 preferably being as stated below produced in two identical half-spheres. The body 1 can be used with the sleeves 3,4 as an assembly node with or without an upright.

Le corps sphérique 1 est divisé en deux parties identiques constituant deux demi-sphères de préférence creuses opposées au montage l'une par rapport à l'autre par leur paroi plane.The spherical body 1 is divided into two identical parts constituting two preferably hollow half-spheres opposite the mounting relative to each other by their flat wall.

Chaque partie du corps sphérique est dotée d'une lumière verticale 8 (figures 2 et 3); chaque manchon est aussi doté d'une lumière oblongue sur sa surface de contact avec le corps sphérique.Each part of the spherical body is provided with a vertical light 8 (Figures 2 and 3); each sleeve also has an oblong lumen on its contact surface with the spherical body.

La lumière du corps sphérique et celle du manchon viennent l'une en face de l'autre, lors de l'assemblage et se superposent partiellement ou complètement en glissant l'une par rapport à l'autre pour donner un champ d'articulation maximum.The lumen of the spherical body and that of the sleeve come opposite one another, during assembly and overlap partially or completely by sliding relative to each other to give a maximum articulation field .

Une autre lumière oblongue 9 (figures 4 et 5) peut être réalisée sur chaque demi-sphère; cette lumière peut faire un angle quelconque avec la lumière 8 ou peut être tout simplement perpendiculaire à celle-ci.Another oblong lumen 9 (FIGS. 4 and 5) can be produced on each hemisphere; this light can make any angle with light 8 or can be simply perpendicular thereto.

L'aménagement du corps sphérique avec deux lumières oblongues augmente le champ d'articulation de celui-ci par rapport au manchon.The arrangement of the spherical body with two oblong lights increases the articulation field of the latter relative to the sleeve.

Chaque partie du corps sphérique ou demi-sphère peut être dotée d'un orifice 16 (figures 6 et 7) en forme de tronc de cône, dont la grande base se trouve sur la surface sphérique.Each part of the spherical body or hemisphere can be provided with an orifice 16 (FIGS. 6 and 7) in the form of a truncated cone, the large base of which is located on the spherical surface.

Le champ d'articulation du manchon par rapport au corps sphérique, dans ce cas, est défini par l'angle solide tracé par la surface conique et la lumière oblongue faite sur le manchon.The field of articulation of the sleeve relative to the spherical body, in this case, is defined by the solid angle traced by the conical surface and the oblong light made on the sleeve.

Chaque partie du corps sphérique est dotée, sur son côté intérieur de formes saillante et creuse 12a et 12b.Each part of the spherical body is provided, on its inner side with protruding and hollow shapes 12a and 12b.

La coopération par interpénétration entre les formes saillante et creuse d'une partie du corps sphérique et la forme creuse et saillante de l'autre partie positionne ces deux parties l'une par rapport à l'autre de façon à assurer la continuité de la surface sphérique du dit corps, notamment dans le cas de la figure 1 où les deux demi-sphères sont en contact l'une de l'autre et présentent une réservation inférieure ménageant par accouplement un logement pour le montant.Interpenetration cooperation between the protruding and hollow forms of one part of the spherical body and the hollow and protruding form of the other part positions these two parts relative to each other so as to ensure the continuity of the surface spherical of said body, in particular in the case of FIG. 1 where the two half-spheres are in contact with one another and have a lower reservation providing by coupling a housing for the upright.

Le blocage des demi-sphères peut également être réalisé par utilisation d'un pion de centrage.The hemispheres can also be blocked by using a centering pin.

Chaque manchon présente une forme biseautée 13 du côté de la surface sphérique de contact avec le corps.Each sleeve has a beveled shape 13 on the side of the spherical surface of contact with the body.

Il est doté aussi d'une vis 14 traversant sa paroi tubulaire pour fixer un des éléments longilignes 15 qui s'emboite dans le dit manchon.It also has a screw 14 passing through its tubular wall to fix one of the elongated elements 15 which fits into the said sleeve.
