Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a set of construction elements for the production of three-dimensional structures for the development of exhibition spaces or other premises.
  • This assembly is intended to allow the realization of structures of a temporary nature, capable of being easily assembled and then dismantled for subsequent reuse of the corresponding elements.
  • this set of elements is designed so that it is possible to produce structures of very varied types from a limited number of basic elements.
  • Some of these systems essentially comprise tubes or bars profiled in metal as well as junction nodes for the assembly of these tubes or bars in order to constitute the framework to be produced. This structure is then completed by the addition of panels or other parts added to the elements of the framework. Systems of this kind allow a very great flexibility of realization. But they have the disadvantage of requiring long assembly operations since it is first necessary to assemble together the very many elements necessary to constitute a framework.
  • Such a system has the advantage of allowing a greater speed of realization of an arrangement structure than in the case of using metal tubes or bars to be assembled to each other.
  • this system does not allow such great flexibility of use, especially since it consists of profiled panels, which does not make it possible to provide covering surfaces of different natures according to the structures to be produced.
  • the assembly of these profiled panels requires the use of a large number of different assembly parts in order to be able to deal with the different possible cases of production of arrangement structures.
  • the subject of the present invention is a set of elements which is designed so as to avoid the drawbacks of the systems mentioned above, the design of this set being such that the constituent elements thereof make it possible to carry out very easily and quickly structures of the most diverse types that can be used for the layout or arrangement of exhibition spaces or other premises.
  • the present set is essentially characterized in that: - Several series of basic elements are provided, each consisting of a rectangular frame of metal tubes, the ends of which are raised relative to the plane of the main part, for example 45 °, and the different sides of which have holes intended for receiving assembly members, these holes being produced according to the same spacing module on the elements of the different series which are distinguished, from one series to another, by different dimensions of the various parts of these elements, - And, in combination with these basic elements, there are provided intermediate junction parts capable of receiving bolts or other assembly members engaged in the holes of the basic elements.
  • the elements thus provided allow a very wide variety of three-dimensional structures to be produced which can be dressed with trim panels of various natures. Due to the design of the basic elements, it is possible to quickly produce a specific structure with a limited number of assembly operations.
  • the present assembly comprises several series of complementary elements of similar structure but which comprise only one raised wing at the end, the elements of these various series being distinguished, from one series to another, by dimensions. different from the various parts of these elements, the sides of which have assembly bores provided according to the same spacing module as on the basic elements.
  • the present set also includes triangular elements for multiple uses each affecting the shape of an isosceles right triangle whose sides are constituted by two flat bars, while the base consists of another flat fert or a tube section pierced with assembly holes as well as the sides to allow the assembly of these triangular elements with the basic elements and the complementary elements
  • the present assembly comprises basic elements 1 which each consist of a rectangular frame of metal tubes of square section.
  • the ends 2 of this frame are raised relative to the plane of the main part 3 thereof, at an angle ⁇ whose value is preferably 45 °.
  • a cross member 4 is also provided, also in metal tube of square section, the ends of which are welded to the respective sides of the frame of the corresponding element.
  • a series of holes 5, intended to receive assembly members, are provided on the different sides of the frame of each base element, as well as on the crosspieces 4. These holes have the same modular spacing e between them so as to allow assembling such elements in various ways.
  • the present set comprises several distinct series of basic elements which differ from one series to another, by a value different from the width E, or the length L of the main part 3, or else again by a value different from the length 1 of their end wings.
  • the latter can moreover have different lengths on the same element.
  • the various dimensions provided are determined so as to correspond to the multiplication of the same basic module and to allow the drilling of the assembly holes 5 while respecting the same spacing e between them.
  • complementary elements 1a of similar structure, but which only have a single raised end wing 2a.
  • the different sides of each of these complementary elements having assembly holes provided according to the same spacing module as on the basic elements.
  • several distinct series of such complementary elements 1a are actually provided, which differ in a variation of their different dimensions while always respecting the same spacing for the assembly holes.
  • This set also includes elements 6 for multiple uses which have a triangular outline. More precisely, this contour assumes the shape of an isosceles right triangle so that the two angles ⁇ at its base are each 45 °, therefore equal to the angle of bearing of the end wings 2 and 2a of the basic elements 1 and additional elements 1a.
  • Each of the sides of this triangular piece 6 may be constituted by a flat iron have assembly holes 7. However in the particular embodiment shown in Figure 5, only the lateral sides are constituted by flat irons, the base consisting for its part in a section of metal tubes 8. This may include three assembly holes 7, the lateral sides having only two holes.
  • FIG. 6 represents an element 9 of a particular type which is intended to ensure the connection between two base elements 1 placed in two planes arranged at right angles.
  • This element comprises a rectangular frame 10 made of metal tubes between the sides of which a covering panel 11 is provided, for example a metal sheet.
  • the short sides 10a of the frame 10 are bent so that their ends 10b and 10c are placed in two planes arranged at right angles.
  • the covering panel 11 On each of its edges, the covering panel 11 has a rim 12 bent inwards, which is secured to the corresponding side of the surround frame 10. Due to the arrangement of this element, the long sides of its frame 10 can be arranged vertically to ensure the connection between two basic elements themselves placed vertically but in two planes located at 90 °, such an application being shown in FIG. 8.
  • FIG. 7 represents yet another element forming part of the present assembly. It is an element 13 designed to serve as a decoration or display strip at the top of a given structure. This element somehow affects the general shape of a trapezoidal section trough, the large base of which faces upwards. It therefore has two inclined side walls 14, for example made of sheet metal, which are fixed at their ends on two transverse cheeks 15.
  • the lower edges of these cheeks has a notch 16 of particular contour allowing the fixing of the element 14 on two end supports such as the support 17 shown in FIG. 8.
  • This consists of an angle 18 of cross-section L which carries a flat iron 19 forming a closed loop whose part upper 20 is intended to be arranged horizontally to serve as a support proper to one of the end cheeks of a strip element 14 while being engaged inside the notch 16 of this cheek.
  • this upper part of the loop 19 comprising a bore 21 intended to receive an assembly bolt or the like.
  • the upper side 20 of the support forms an angle of 45 ° with the axis of the angle iron 18. Consequently this side is automatically disposed horizontally when this angle iron is fitted and fixed on one of the sides of the extreme wing of a basic element 1 itself placed vertically. The fixing of this angle is then ensured by bolting through holes 22 provided on its side wing.
  • FIG. 9 represents a junction piece 23 intended to serve at the same time as a support piece on the ground for the end wings 2 of two base elements 1 placed vertically in two planes arranged at right angles.
  • This part is constituted by two wings 23a and 23b arranged at right angles and which are inclined at 45 ° relative to the support plane of this part. These two wings have holes 25 for their fixing by bolting on elements 1 or 1a.
  • Figures 10 to 18 show several devices for assembling the various elements described above and also to fix on them other added elements, for example vertical or horizontal panels.
  • FIG. 10 represents the assembly device used for the junction side by side of two metal tubes 26a and 26b belonging to two distinct elements 1 or 1a.
  • This device comprises a threaded socket 27 intended to be engaged through the holes 5 which are in concordance, one of the ends of this sleeve being provided with a retaining head 28. As for its opposite end, it is intended to receive a screw 29 itself provided with an operating head 30.
  • FIG. 11 represents a device of similar design which is intended to allow the fixing of a flat iron 31 against a tube 26c forming part of a basic element 1 or of a complementary element 1a.
  • This device comprises a socket 27c of shorter length than in the previous case, but which is also intended to receive a screw 29 provided with an operating head 30, this screw being engaged through a bore 32 of the corresponding flat iron 31.
  • Figures 12 and 14 show an assembly device comprising an intermediate junction block 33 of cubic shape. On each side of this block opens a perpendicular bore 34 internally tapped, the various holes thus provided intersecting at right angles.
  • a series of sockets 35 is provided, one of the ends of which carries a threaded lug 36 capable of being screwed into one or the other of the holes 34.
  • a threaded lug 36 capable of being screwed into one or the other of the holes 34.
  • the opposite end of such a socket it is capable of receiving a screw 29 as already described and which comprises an operating head 30.
  • Such a device makes it possible to assemble, for example, two tubes 26d, 26e which extend parallel but which form part basic elements 1d and 1e arranged at right angles.
  • this same terminal block could also be used to fix two other basic elements there, themselves arranged at right angles.
  • Figures 13 and 15 show another device also comprising a terminal block 33a. This differs from the previous one in that it corresponds in a way to half a block with a cubic section. Its section therefore presents the outline of an isosceles right triangle.
  • a bore 34 internally threaded, is provided facing each of the faces of this block in order to be able to receive the threaded lug 36 of an assembly socket 35, itself intended to receive a assembly screw 29.
  • such a junction block makes it possible to assemble at right angles two tubes 26f and 26f belonging to two basic elements 1f and 1g. It should be noted that it would then be possible to fix, against the base of the junction block 33, a third tube 26h belonging to a basic element 1h disposed at 135 ° relative to one or the other of the other two elements 1f or 1g.
  • FIG. 16 represents the assembly means used for fixing a vertical panel 36 against a vertical tube 26i belonging to a basic element 1 or a complementary element 1a.
  • These assembly means comprise a nut 37 incorporated inside the panel 36 and a corresponding screw 38 which is provided with a head 39 in the form of a spherical ball or the like. This head is thus capable of being engaged inside one of the holes 5 of the tube 26i. After which, the panel 36 remains in place under the effect of its own weight.
  • FIG. 17 represents the assembly means used to secure a floor panel 40 to a horizontal tube 26j belonging to a base element 1 or to a complementary element 1a.
  • These means assembly comprise as above a nut 37 embedded inside the corresponding panel 40.
  • a stud 41 is provided carrying a screw 42 intended to be screwed into the nut 37. This stud 41 can then be engaged inside the bore 5 on the upper side of the tube 26j, which ensures immobilizing the floor panel 40 in place.
  • FIG. 18 represents the assembly means used for fixing a horizontal panel 43 of a ceiling below a horizontal tube 26k belonging to a basic element 1 or to a complementary element 1a. Again there is provided a nut 37 embedded in the corresponding panel. This nut is capable of receiving a socket 35, such as that used in the assembly device shown in FIGS. 13 and 15. This socket is intended to be engaged through the tube 26k to receive an assembly screw 29 provided with an operating head 30.
  • any other suitable assembly system could be used both to ensure the assembly of elements 1 and 1a with each other and to achieve the fixing of panels or other inserts against these elements.
  • Figures 19 and 20 show an example of the use of various elements forming part of this set for the production of an exhibition stand comprising a facade and two side walls.
  • the front consists of two basic elements 11 of the same width between which is placed another basic element 1m oriented in the opposite direction to the other two, its raised wings 2 being directed towards the front and not towards the rear.
  • the elements 11 are fixed to the intermediate element 1m at the point of the intersection points 24 on their adjacent sides, this fixing being ensured by an assembly device such as the one shown in the figure 10.
  • connection elements 9 such as that shown in FIG. 6
  • junction piece 23 can be provided, such as that shown in FIG. 9.
  • a the upper part of the stand may include a ceiling, the framework of which is formed by other basic elements 1 or other complementary elements 1a on which ceiling panels 43 are attached.
  • FIG. 20 shows in more detail the method of fixing a strip element 13 to the upper part of the present exhibition stand.
  • the end cheeks 15 of this element are fixed on supports 17 such as that shown in FIG. 8, each of these supports having been previously attached to one of the lateral sides of the end raised 2 of a basic element 1 forming part of the front of the stand.
  • FIG. 21 illustrates the production of a floor above walls, the framework of which is constituted by the assembly of basic elements 1 one after the other.
  • the framework of this floor consists of the superposition of basic elements 1o and 1p arranged in opposite directions and which are assembled with the vertical elements 1 by adding triangular elements 6 intended in this case to serve as reinforcing and stiffening elements. It is thus possible to produce an extremely robust structure capable of supporting heavy loads.
  • Figures 22 and 23 show the construction of a floor above a floor, for example in an exhibition room.
  • This floor is constituted by a series of panels 40 fixed on a frame formed by basic elements 1q of this assembly which are arranged horizontally. Thus these elements are supported on the ground by means of their end wings 2.
  • a certain number of intermediate support elements 1r can also be provided. Each of them can be constituted by a complementary element 1a of the present assembly, the latter having appropriate dimensions.
  • These support elements are supported on the ground by their end wings 2a.
  • this support is reinforced by the addition of triangular elements 6 attached to the lateral sides of these end wings 2a, as shown in FIG. 22.
  • the floor provided has an access step 44.
  • the framework thereof consists of complementary elements 1a which are suitably arranged to include a horizontal part capable of serving as a support for this step. .
  • these elements are assembled with the corresponding end of the wing 2 of the main elements 1q by means of a terminal block 33a of triangular section, such as that shown in the Figure 15.
  • the frame of the step 44 is completed by triangular elements 6 serving as reinforcing elements, these being arranged head to tail.
  • Other similar elements 6 can, moreover, be arranged under the nose of the floor 40 to avoid any overhang at this location.
  • the elements of this set are more specifically intended for the realization of structures of a temporary nature, for example for the realization of exhibition stands or the fitting out of premises for various uses. However, these elements can also be used for many other applications, for example for the layout of a sales store, an office or even a living room.
  • the present elements have the advantage of allowing easy and rapid production of dimensional structures of the most diverse types with very great flexibility of execution.
  • the present assembly is then much more advantageous than the various systems currently used for similar uses, for example systems comprising tubes which are completely independent of each other which must first of all be assembled together to constitute a framework.
  • the present system is also more advantageous than those comprising profiled panels because it allows greater flexibility of execution and covering of the structures to be produced.
