Definitions

  • the subject of the invention is a method of fixing a mirror on a support and its implementation device.
  • This device does not allow a tolerance of more than ten millimeters on the cut.
  • the subject of the invention is a fixing lug for mirrors, glass panels and the like of the type comprising a first element consisting of two branches extending perpendicularly to each other and which is intended to be fixed by the first of its branches to a wall or similar support , and a second element having two branches perpendicular to each other and the first of which is intended to retain the mirror and the second to be connected to the second branch of said first element; said second branch of the first element comprises, at its free end, a hollow housing intended to receive the second branch of said second element, removable locking means being provided for retaining the second branch of the second element in said hollow housing.
  • U.S. 3,680,822 This is a mounting bracket formed by two elements, a mounting support element hung on the wall and another element which fits to lock the mirror. This second element is mounted articulated on the first and is operated by pivoting.
  • this patent describes a framing profile which consists of two profiles, a male profile and a female profile which fit into one another and form once nested a profile of uneven U-shaped frame (between the short side of the male profile and the wing of the female profile; the male profile is formed by an L-shaped profile whose base enters the housing and has retaining teeth and whose vertical part of L forms the shortest branch of the unequal U in which the mirror is placed.
  • US. 4,356,648 this patent describes framing means for retaining and exposing objects on an exhibition surface in a non-permanent manner, the framing means comprising border elements arranged to form angles assembled together in a non-permanent manner with corner elements and mounting elements fixed non-permanently to the border elements, for temporarily mounting the framing means on an exhibition surface.
  • the border elements comprise an element having the general shape of an "E" having a reverse with three fingers including an internal finger, an external finger and intermediate fingers, and whose external and intermediate fingers form a partially closed channel.
  • the corner elements include a central arcuate element having intertwined staples placed at each end of the arcuate element. The staples have a reduced thickness element for engagement with the side members in the partially closed canal.
  • the mounting elements have the shape of a triangle of open shape on both sides having two elongated legs joined at their top.
  • One of these legs is used to provide engagement in the display area and with the shorter leg of the triangle consisting of an element turned over on itself to form attachment means for non-permanent attachment to the interior of the partially closed canal.
  • the invention does not relate to the fixing lugs intended in particular for small mirrors, but a framing profile for large mirrors.
  • the method and its device make it possible to recover the out-of-square on the heights and to have a tolerance of more than ten millimeters on the cutting height which is not the case with the current uneven U-shaped profiles.
  • the framing profile allows measurements to be taken much faster. It allows faster installation. Finally, the use of this frame profile reduces the risk of breakage during assembly.
  • the profile for fixing and framing a large mirror is of the type consisting of two profiles, a male profile and a female profile: which fit into each other and form once nested an uneven U-shaped framing profile;
  • the male profile is formed by an L-shaped profile, the base of which enters the housing and has teeth or retaining notches and the vertical part of the L forms the shortest branch of the uneven U in which the mirror is placed ;
  • the profile is characterized by the fact that the female profile is composed of a vertical part and a housing formed at one end by two horizontal tabs, and that a seal is placed in the housing formed by the two unequal branches U formed by the interlocking of the male section and the female section; the seal has a cutout providing for the housing of the mirror between two blades of said seal.
  • the ends of the horizontal tab of the male section and of the intermediate horizontal tab of the female section each have a deformation and attachment cam.
  • a setting and positioning stop is provided in the housing formed by the horizontal tabs of the female profile; this stop is arranged between the two horizontal legs perpendicular to the vertical part; the end of this timing stop has a bevel which comes opposite the end of the horizontal tab or base and which guides said base in its housing.
  • Figure 1 is a sectional view of a profile currently used to place mirrors against a partition.
  • the profile is uneven U-shaped.
  • the largest leg of the U has a hole to allow the passage of means for fixing the uneven U-shaped profile against the partition.
  • Figure 2 is an exploded sectional view showing the various elements making up the fixing device. The joint is shown in phantom.
  • Figure 3 is a sectional view of the two male and female sections assembled with, in place, a mirror and a seal.
  • Figure 4 is a sectional view of two male and female sections assembled to form an uneven U allowing the housing of a seamless mirror.
  • Figure 5 is a perspective view of the female section placed against a wall.
  • Figure 6 is a view of the same profile at the time of installation of the mirror.
  • Figure 7 is a perspective view at the time of installation of the male section in the female section.
  • Figure 8 is a sectional view of the device with its male profile, its female profile and one end of the mirror.
  • Figure 9 is a view of the device according to Figure 1 where the profiles are assembled to form an uneven U which acts as a support for the mirror.
  • Figure 10 is a perspective view highlighting the framing profile which facilitates and simplifies the installation of mirrors.
  • the method according to the invention consists in using two sections 1, 2 which fit into each other and form, once fitted, an uneven U-shaped section 3.
  • the sections are for example made of metal such as l 'aluminum.
  • the interlocking of the male section 2 and the female section 1 makes it possible to recover the out-of-square on the heights and to have a tolerance of a few centimeters on the cutting height.
  • Retaining teeth or notches 4 can be provided in the drawing of the male 2 and female 1 sections to facilitate nesting and holding them.
  • the female profile 1 is composed of a vertical part 5 and a housing 6 formed at one end by two horizontal tabs 7, 8.
  • the male section 2 is formed by an L-shaped section, the base 9 of which enters the housing 6 and may include teeth or retaining notches 4 and the vertical part 10 of the L of which forms the shortest branch of the uneven U in which the mirror 11 is arranged.
  • a seal 12 is put in place in the housing 13 formed by the two unequal branches of the U formed by the male profile 2 and the female profile 1. This seal 12 is put in place in all the embodiments even if it is not represented in FIGS. 5 to 10.
  • the seal 12 may have a cutout providing for the housing of the mirror between two blades 14, 15 of said seal.
  • the profile consists of two profiles 21, 22 which fit into each other and form, once fitted, an uneven U-shaped profile 23.
  • the female profile 21 is composed of a vertical part 25 and a housing 26 formed at one end by two horizontal tabs 27, 28.
  • the male section 22 is formed by an L-shaped section, the base 29 of which enters the housing 26 and may include hooking means 24 and the vertical part 20 of the L of which forms the shortest branch of the uneven U in which mirror 31 is arranged.
  • a timing and positioning stop 32 can be provided in the housing 26 formed by the horizontal tabs 27 and 28 of the female profile 21, a timing and positioning stop 32 can be provided.
  • This stop 32 is arranged between the two horizontal tabs 27 and 28 perpendicular to the vertical part 25. O The end of this setting stop 32 may include a bevel 33 which comes opposite the end of the horizontal tab or base 29 and which guides said base 29 in its housing 26.
  • the intermediate horizontal tab 27 of the female profile 21 has at its end a cam 34 for deformation and attachment which comes opposite another cam 35 for deformation and attachment arranged at the level of the horizontal tab or base 29 of the profile male 22.
  • the teeth or notches thus described ensure rapid installation of the mirror in the device which acts as a support.
  • the female profile 37 which acts as a support and which is fixed to the wall, is formed of a vertical part 38 and of a housing 39, formed by two horizontal legs 40 and 41; the male section 42 is composed of a vertical part 43 and two horizontal tabs 44 and 45 which fit into the interior of the housing 39.
