Abstract

A self-locking device intended for fixing shelves or various profiles such as square or round tubes. It comprises a minimum of two elements working in opposition: an adjustable element (14) consisting of a U-shaped profile equipped with a screw (20) passing into an aperture (19) made in the sliding support (21) at the end of which is mounted, on an offset shaft (15), the clamping member (16) which surrounds the plate (22) and a second fixed element (3) also consisting of a U-shaped profile acting as a pivoting support for a movable piece (7) by means of a shaft (8) whose location has been designed in order to obtain, between the pieces (3) and (7), in the closed position, an acute angle (11) permitting pressure on the plates (1) and (22), and the production of efficient locking of the shelf (26) or of the profile on the uprights (35). The movable piece (7) receives a clamping member (5) in which is riveted the plate (1) and which pivots on an offset shaft (4). Each element (3) and (14) has an associated small fixing plate (25) of appropriate shape, according to the use, which is fixed at each end of the shelf (26) or of the profile. This device has the advantage of not having to be drilled and of not modifying the appearance of the vertical uprights, which permits its use in the insertion of shelves or furniture accessories, such as wardrobe rails, in a finished piece of furniture, including furniture of style or of value, increasing the useful character thereof. <IMAGE>

Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif auto­bloquant destiné à la fixation d'étagères, comprises entre deux montants verticaux, dont on désire régler la hauteur, la pente ou l'inclinaison à la demande, sans avoir à percer les dits montants ni à altérer leur aspect. Elle peut être également appliquée à toute fixation de panneaux verticaux coincés entre sol et plafond. Associée à des profilés appropriés, elle permet l'insertion d'accessoires de mobiliers tels que les tringles de penderies ou les supports de dossiers suspendus.The present invention relates to a self-locking device intended for fixing shelves, comprised between two vertical uprights, the height, slope or inclination of which is desired to be adjusted on demand, without having to pierce the said uprights or alter their appearance. . It can also be applied to any fixing of vertical panels wedged between floor and ceiling. Associated with suitable profiles, it allows the insertion of furniture accessories such as wardrobe rods or hanging file supports.

Traditionnellement la fixation d'étagères entre deux montants verticaux est obtenue, soit simplement à l'aide d'un réseau de trous percés à différentes hauteurs dans lesquels viendront s'insérer des taquets ou des tenons pour supporter la dite étagère, ou à l'aide de crémaillères en bois, métalliques ou autre, servant à recevoir des pièces de diverses formes sur lesquelles l'étagère reposera. Ces méthodes de fixation impli­quent soit un usinage préalable ou à la demande, des montants verticaux, soit l'équipement de ces derniers de crémaillères servant à recevoir les éléments supports des étagères.Traditionally the fixing of shelves between two vertical uprights is obtained, either simply using a network of holes drilled at different heights into which will be inserted lugs or tenons to support said shelf, or using wooden, metal or other racks, used to receive pieces of various shapes on which the shelf will rest. These fixing methods involve either prior machining or on demand, vertical uprights, or the equipment of the latter with racks serving to receive the support elements of the shelves.

Ceci présente les inconvénients de non adaptabilité dans le cas de l'usinage à la demande, ou celui de la difficulté technique dans le cas de la modification ajouté à celui de l'aspect inesthétique que l'on retrouve dans les dispositifs à crémaillères.This has the disadvantages of non-adaptability in the case of machining on demand, or that of technical difficulty in the case of the modification added to that of the unsightly appearance that is found in rack and pinion devices.

Pour pallier à ces inconvénients, le dispositif, objet de l'invention propose un mode de mise en place très rapide à la hauteur désirée, ou pouvant donner une certaine inclinaison de l'étagère dans le cas d'un présentoir.To overcome these drawbacks, the device which is the subject of the invention proposes a very rapid installation method at the desired height, or which can give the shelf a certain inclination in the case of a display stand.

La constitution des montants verticaux importe peu et le dispositif peut même compenser un certain défaut de parallé­lisme ou de perpendicularité par rapport au fond ou au mur porteur. L'avantage de ne pas avoir à percer ni à altérer l'aspect des mon­tants verticaux fait que l'invention peut trouver son utilisation pour l'insertion d'étagères dans un meuble fini, voire de style ou de valeur permettant d'ajouter ou d'augmenter momentanément la fonction utilitaire sans inconvénient pour le cachet esthétique de celui-ci.The constitution of the vertical uprights does not matter and the device can even compensate for a certain lack of parallelism or perpendicularity with respect to the bottom or the load-bearing wall. The advantage of not having to pierce or alter the appearance of the vertical uprights means that the invention can find its use for the insertion of shelves in a finished piece of furniture, or even in style or value, making it possible to add or temporarily increase the utility function without any drawback for its aesthetic cachet.

Pour obtenir ces avantages, l'invention est constituée d'au moins deux éléments fixés en bout des étagères :To obtain these advantages, the invention consists of at least two elements fixed at the end of the shelves:

Le premier élément est un moyen d'appui ajustable constitué de deux parties dont l'une est fixée sous l'étagère. Elle a pour fonction de maintenir solidement la deuxième partie, dont le rôle est d'assurer une adhérence suffisante entre ce bout de l'étagère et la paroi verticale, grâce à la réalisation en matériau semi rigide présentant l'élasticité nécessaire, mais exerçant une force d'appui suffisante.The first element is an adjustable support means consisting of two parts, one of which is fixed under the shelf. Its function is to securely hold the second part, whose role is to ensure sufficient adhesion between this end of the shelf and the vertical wall, thanks to the production of semi-rigid material having the necessary elasticity, but exerting a sufficient support force.

Le deuxième élément, qui est l'élément principal de l'invention, est un "CLIP" constitué de plusieurs pièces afin d'obtenir un dispositif autobloquant. Il comporte :

  • 1° Une platine de fixation sous l'étagère, de formes géométriques diverses adaptées aux besoins, dont les dimensions varieront suivant la force nécessaire. Cette platine peut être réalisée en tous métaux ou alliages ou en certaines matières plastiques. Elle reçoit un élément fixe qui est, soit percé de trous pour recevoir un axe sur lequel pivote la pièce mobile, soit muni d'ergots ou de petits axes pour assurer cette fonction.
  • 2° La seconde pièce, qui est donc pivotante, ressemble au premier élément décrit ci-dessus, mais est pourvue des moyens de pivotement complémentaires à ceux décrits sur l'élément fixe. On obtient ainsi un ensemble fonctionnant comme une charnière mais qui en position fermée, forme un angle aigu entre les deux pièces. Le rôle de cet angle ainsi formé, est déterminant pour réaliser un véritable coincement des deux embouts en matière légèrement souple qui assurent l'adhérence sur les parois verticales du meuble ou entre deux cloisons.
The second element, which is the main element of the invention, is a "CLIP" made up of several parts in order to obtain a self-locking device. It comprises :
  • 1 ° A fixing plate under the shelf, of various geometric shapes adapted to needs, whose dimensions will vary according to the force required. This plate can be made of all metals or alloys or certain plastics. It receives a fixed element which is either pierced with holes to receive an axis on which the moving part pivots, or is provided with lugs or small axes to perform this function.
  • 2 ° The second part, which is therefore pivoting, resembles the first element described above, but is provided with pivoting means complementary to those described on the fixed element. An assembly is thus obtained which functions as a hinge but which, in the closed position, forms an acute angle between the two parts. The role of this angle thus formed, is decisive for achieving a real wedging of the two ends of slightly flexible material which ensure adhesion to the vertical walls of the furniture or between two partitions.

Il est évidemment possible d'encastrer, pour des raisons esthétiques, ces éléments dans l'épaisseur de l'étagère à fixer.It is obviously possible to embed, for aesthetic reasons, these elements in the thickness of the shelf to be fixed.

L'utilisation de ce dispositif peut-être étendue à tous les domaines qui nécessitent un moyen de fixation entre des montants ou des surfaces, sensiblement parallèles, et notamment pour la réalisation de cloisons entre des parois ou murs, les dites cloisons pouvant être coincées entre sol et plafond. Il pourra être utilisé de la même façon pour la réalisation de mobilier et permettre de construire des éléments de décoration.The use of this device can be extended to all areas which require a means of fixing between uprights or surfaces, substantially parallel, and in particular for the production of partitions between walls or walls, said partitions being able to be wedged between floor and ceiling. It can be used in the same way for the production of furniture and allow the construction of decorative elements.

Pour verrouiller le dispositif autobloquant et éviter qu'il ne soit incidemment sollicité dans le sens du déblocage, il est prévu une vis de sécurité. Pour des raisons d'esthétique, il est possible d'y ajouter un cache.To lock the self-locking device and prevent it from being incidentally biased in the unlocking direction, a safety screw is provided. For aesthetic reasons, it is possible to add a cover.

Pour une meilleure compréhention de l'invention, il est donné à titre d'exemple, non limitatif, un mode de réalisa­tion se référant aux dessins ci-annexés :

  • Figure 1 : vue en coupe d'une étagère sous laquelle sont encastrés l'élément fixe et l'élément ajustable.
  • Figure 2 : élément principal de l'ensemble autobloquant vu de dessus et de profil.
  • Figure 3 : élément ajustable vu de dessus et de profil.
  • Figure 4 : exemple de platines de fixation l'une montée en saillie sur l'étagère, l'autre encastrée dans l'épaisseur de l'étagère.
  • Figure 5 : exemple de platines de fixation montées sur une tringle de penderie.
For a better understanding of the invention, an embodiment is given by way of non-limiting example, referring to the attached drawings:
  • Figure 1: sectional view of a shelf under which are fixed the fixed element and the adjustable element.
  • Figure 2: main element of the self-locking assembly seen from above and in profile.
  • Figure 3: adjustable element seen from above and in profile.
  • Figure 4: example of fixing plates, one projecting from the shelf, the other embedded in the thickness of the shelf.
  • Figure 5: example of fixing plates mounted on a wardrobe rod.

La figure 1 représente les éléments (3) et (14) de l'ensemble autobloquant, encastrés sous une étagère (26) montée entre deux montants verticaux (35), ces deux éléments (3) et (14) pouvant indifféremment être placés à chaque extrémité de l'étagère (26).FIG. 1 represents the elements (3) and (14) of the self-locking assembly, embedded under a shelf (26) mounted between two vertical uprights (35), these two elements (3) and (14) being able to be placed either each end of the shelf (26).

Par ailleurs, pour supporter des charges lourdes, ou dans le cas d'utilisation de fixation pour des grandes surfaces, il est possible d'augmenter le nombre de platines à employer en montant les éléments indentiques du même côté.Furthermore, to support heavy loads, or in the case of use of fasteners for large areas, it is possible to increase the number of plates to be used by mounting the identical elements on the same side.

Les patins (1) et (22) en matériau semi rigide, répondant aux qualités d'élasticité du type caoutchouc, sont insérés dans les pièces de serrage (5) et (16) fixées pour l'une au support coulissant (21) par l'axe (15) et pour l'autre à la pièce mobile (7) par l'axe (4).The pads (1) and (22) of semi-rigid material, meeting the elasticity qualities of the rubber type, are inserted in the clamping parts (5) and (16) fixed for one to the sliding support (21) by the axis (15) and for the other to the moving part (7) by the axis (4).

La figure 2 donne une vue de dessus et de profil de l'élément principal de l'ensemble autobloquant appelé "CLIP". L'ensemble peut être réalisé en tôle d'acier pliée, il est consti­tué par :
- un élément fixe (3) réalisé dans un profilé en "U" qui sert de support à la pièce mobile (7) pivotant sur l'axe (8). Les rebords latéraux (12) de la pièce mobile (7) présentent un angle sortant (18) nécessaire à l'obtention d'une fermeture com­plète, c'est à dire nettement au-delà du parallélisme classique d'une charnière. L'angle aigu (11) ainsi formé étant accentué par la position excentrée d'un ou des axes (8) pour obtenir un maintien efficace de l'ensemble.
- La pièce mobile (7) reçoit un organe de serrage (5) qui monté sur un axe déporté (4) constitue déjà un dispositif autobloquant lorsqu'une force d'appui s'exerce de haut en bas. La face transversale (10) de la pièce mobile sert de butée à l'organe de serrage (5).
- L'organe de serrage (5) est constitué d'un support en U sur lequel est fixé par l'intermédiaire de rivets (2) le patin (1).
- Dans d'autres modes de réalisation, l'organe de serrage (5) est constitué soit d'une machoire à griffes dont le rôle est de maintenir solidement le patin (1) soit d'un matériau plein comportant une rainure, dans laquelle vient s'in­sérer le patin (1).
- La vis de sécurité (6) bloque la pièce mobile dans la position fermée.Figure 2 gives a top and side view of the main element of the self-locking assembly called "CLIP". The assembly can be made of folded sheet steel, it consists of:
- a fixed element (3) produced in a "U" profile which serves as a support for the moving part (7) pivoting on the axis (8). The lateral flanges (12) of the movable part (7) have an outgoing angle (18) necessary for obtaining a complete closure, that is to say clearly beyond the conventional parallelism of a hinge. The acute angle (11) thus formed being accentuated by the eccentric position of one or more axes (8) to obtain effective support of the assembly.
- The movable part (7) receives a clamping member (5) which mounted on a remote axis (4) already constitutes a self-locking device when a pressing force is exerted from top to bottom. The transverse face (10) of the moving part serves as a stop for the clamping member (5).
- The clamping member (5) consists of a U-shaped support on which is fixed by means of rivets (2) the shoe (1).
- In other embodiments, the clamping member (5) consists either of a claw jaw whose role is to securely hold the shoe (1) or of a solid material having a groove, in which just insert the shoe (1).
- The safety screw (6) blocks the moving part in the closed position.

La figure 3 représente une vue de dessous et de profil de l'élément ajustable (14) réalisé dans un profilé en "U" muni d'une vis (20) passant dans une lumière (19) pratiquée dans le support coulissant (21) au bout duquel est monté sur un axe dépor­té (15) l'organe de serrage (16) ce qui permet l'ajustement à la largeur du meuble voulu et son blocage. Les rebords transversaux (17) du support coulissant (21) servent de butée à l'organe de serrage. Le patin (22) est fixé dans l'organe de serrage (16) par les rivets (13)
- un cache (23) dont les côtés (24) viennent pincer les parois des éléments (3) et (14) permet de dissimuler le dispositif.
- Les angles arrondis (9) des éléments (3) (7) et (14) évitent de blesser les mains des utilisateurs.
- Les platines de fixations recevant les éléments fixes et ajustables seront de formes différentes selon l'utilisation du dispositif.FIG. 3 represents a view from below and in profile of the adjustable element (14) produced in a "U" profile provided with a screw (20) passing through a slot (19) formed in the sliding support (21) at the end of which is mounted on a remote axis (15) the clamping member (16) which allows adjustment to the width of the desired furniture and its blocking. The transverse edges (17) of the sliding support (21) serve as a stop for the clamping member. The shoe (22) is fixed in the clamping member (16) by the rivets (13)
- A cover (23) whose sides (24) pinch the walls of the elements (3) and (14) to conceal the device.
- The rounded angles (9) of the elements (3) (7) and (14) avoid injuring users' hands.
- The fixing plates receiving the fixed and adjustable elements will have different shapes depending on the use of the device.

La figure 4 donne un exemple de platines (25) de forme arrondie et présentant un rebord (38) usinées sur les éléments (3) et (14) qui offrent la possibilité soit d'être vissées en saillie sur l'étagère (26) par l'intermédiaire des trous (27) soit d'être encastrées dans l'épaisseur de l'étagère (26). La fixation de la platine (25) est alors assurée par le blocage de la vis (28) qui terminée par un axe (29) reçoit la rondelle (30) et agit par coincement entre les parois de l'encastrement et les bords de la platine (32) pour ce mode de fixation un cache (33) de forme ronde comporte des languettes (34)Figure 4 gives an example of plates (25) of rounded shape and having a flange (38) machined on the elements (3) and (14) which offer the possibility either to be screwed projecting from the shelf (26) through the holes (27) or to be embedded in the thickness of the shelf (26). The fixing of the plate (25) is then ensured by the blocking of the screw (28) which ends with an axis (29) receives the washer (30) and acts by wedging between the walls of the recess and the edges of the plate (32) for this method of fixing a cover (33) of round shape includes tabs (34)

La figure 5 décrit un autre mode de réalisation la platine de fixation (36) en tube carré ou rond prolonge l'une des extrémités des éléments (3) et (14) et vient s'em­boiter dans une tringle de penderie constituée d'un profilé (37) du même type.FIG. 5 describes another embodiment the fixing plate (36) in square or round tube extends one of the ends of the elements (3) and (14) and comes to fit in a wardrobe rod constituted by a profile (37) of the same type.

Le positionnement d'une étagère, d'une cloison verticale ou d'un profilé s'effectue de la façon suivante :
- On ajuste la position de la pièce (21) alors qu'à l'autre extrémité la pièce mobile (7) est ouverte ; puis on bloque la pièce (21) par la vis (20)
- On referme le dispositif autobloquant en mettant en appui le patin (1) par fermeture de la pièce mobile (7) la vis (6) servant de sécurité de blocage dans la position fermée du dispositif autobloquant.The positioning of a shelf, a vertical partition or a profile is carried out as follows:
- The position of the part (21) is adjusted while at the other end the movable part (7) is open; then we block the part (21) by the screw (20)
- The self-locking device is closed by pressing the pad (1) by closing the moving part (7) the screw (6) serving as locking security in the closed position of the self-locking device.

De conception simple, et d'un prix peu élevé, ce dispositif permet donc de résoudre par un maniement aisé les problèmes de fixation et plus particulièrement celui du montage des étagères.Simple in design and inexpensive, this device therefore makes it possible to solve, by easy handling, the fixing problems and more particularly that of the mounting of the shelves.
