Description

La présente invention concerne un support de jardinière pour balcon.The present invention relates to a balcony planter support.

Une jardinière se présente comme un bac ou réceptacle analogue de forme allongée, dans lequel on fait pousser des fleurs ou autres plantes ornementales, et qu'on utilise soit à l'intérieur d'un appartement, soit sur un balcon ou une terrasse. Dans le cas d'une jardinière pour balcon, auquel s'intéresse l'invention, la jardinière est placée contre la balustrade du balcon, et elle se trouve accrochée à la main courante.A planter is presented as a tub or similar receptacle of elongated shape, in which flowers or other ornamental plants are grown, and which is used either inside an apartment, or on a balcony or a terrace. In the case of a balcony planter, in which the invention is concerned, the planter is placed against the balustrade of the balcony, and it is hung on the handrail.

L'accrochage d'une jardinière pour balcon à une main courante de balustrade est réalisé, habituellement, par des dispositifs métalliques, notamment en fer. Ces dispositifs de fixation s'oxydent et se ternissent, en raison de leur exposition à l'air extérieur et aux intempéries. Par ailleurs, les dispositifs métalliques actuels nécessitent des organes tels que vis et écrous, pour une fixation réglable et démontable.The attachment of a balcony planter to a railing handrail is usually carried out by metal devices, in particular iron. These fasteners oxidize and tarnish due to their exposure to outside air and weather. Furthermore, current metal devices require members such as screws and nuts, for an adjustable and removable fixing.

La présente invention vise à éliminer ces inconvénients, en fournissant un support de jardinière pour balcon qui est d'utilisation simple, ne nécessitant ni vis ni écrous, tout en étant facilement adaptable à diverses dimensions de mains courantes et de jardinières pour assurer dans tous les cas une fixation stable, et qui est réalisable dans une matière dont la qualité et l'aspect ne se dégradent pas dans le temps.The present invention aims to eliminate these drawbacks, by providing a balcony planter support which is simple to use, requiring neither screws nor nuts, while being easily adaptable to various dimensions of handrails and planters to ensure in all case a stable fixation, and which is achievable in a material whose quality and appearance do not degrade over time.

A cet effet, le support de jardinière pour balcon, objet de l'invention, est réalisé en matière synthétique et comporte, essentiellement, un montant sensiblement vertical pourvu, vers sa partie inférieure, d'une console tournée vers l'avant et prévue pour supporter le poids de la jardinière, et vers sa partie supérieure, de deux bras superposés solidaires du montant, sensiblement horizontaux et tournés vers l'arrière, qui sont aptes à être reliés entre eux par une barrette verticale amovible et réglable en position à une distance plus ou moins grande du montant, de telle sorte que la partie supérieure du montant, les deux bras et la barrette puissent enlacer la main courante d'une balustrade de balcon.To this end, the balcony planter support, object of the invention, is made of synthetic material and comprises, essentially, a substantially vertical upright provided, towards its lower part, with a console facing forward and provided for support the weight of the planter, and towards its upper part, of two superimposed arms integral with the upright, substantially horizontal and turned towards the rear, which are able to be connected together by a removable vertical bar adjustable in position at a distance more or less of the upright, so that the upper part of the upright, the two arms and the bar can entwine the handrail of a balcony railing.

Ainsi est réalisé un support de jardinière, qui s'accroche facilement et de façon sûre à une balustrade en enlaçant la main courante de celle-ci, le réglage de position de la barrette permettant l'adaptation à diverses largeurs de mains courantes. Avantageusement, les deux bras horizontaux présentent des faces crantées, et la barrette verticale est percée de deux ouvertures prévues pour être traversées respectivement par les deux bras, les bords de ces ouvertures s'accrochant sur les crans des bras correspondants. Le nombre et le pas de ces crans déterminent les possibilités de réglage de position de la barrette.Thus is made a planter support, which easily and securely hooks to a railing by embracing the handrail thereof, the position adjustment of the bar allowing adaptation to various widths of handrails. Advantageously, the two horizontal arms have notched faces, and the vertical bar is pierced with two openings intended to be crossed by the two respectively arms, the edges of these openings hooking onto the notches of the corresponding arms. The number and the pitch of these notches determine the possibilities of adjusting the position of the bar.

De préférence, le support de jardinière objet de l'invention comprend encore, vers sa partie inférieure, une réglette sensiblement horizontale et tournee vers l'arrière, qui est montée réglable en position dans le sens avant-arrière par rapport au montant, et qui comporte, a son extrémité arrière, un taquet prévu pour prendre appui contre la balustrade. Grâce à cette réglette pourvue d'un taquet, le support est toujours maintenu d'aplomb. Pour la tenue et le réglage de position de la réglette, on peut prévoir une série d'ouvertures réparties sur la longueur de cette réglette, tandis que le montant comporte, à son extrémité inférieure, au moins deux crochets de retenue prévus pour être engagés dans certaines ouvertures, convenablement choisies, de la réglette. Le taquet solidaire de cette réglette possède, avantageusement, une face d'appui dont la dimension horizontale, mesurée transversalement à la réglette, est supérieure à l'intervalle séparant habituellement les barreaux d'une balustrade de balcon, ce qui donne la certitude que, dans le cas d'une balustrade à barreaudage, le taquet prendra toujours appui contre au moins un barreau.Preferably, the planter support object of the invention also comprises, towards its lower part, a substantially horizontal and rearward facing strip, which is mounted adjustable in position in the front-rear direction relative to the upright, and which has, at its rear end, a cleat provided to bear against the railing. Thanks to this strip provided with a cleat, the support is always kept plumb. For holding and adjusting the position of the strip, a series of openings can be provided distributed over the length of this strip, while the upright comprises, at its lower end, at least two retaining hooks intended to be engaged in certain openings, suitably chosen, of the strip. The cleat integral with this strip has, advantageously, a bearing face whose horizontal dimension, measured transversely to the strip, is greater than the interval usually separating the bars of a balcony balustrade, which gives the certainty that, in the case of a bar balustrade, the cleat will always bear against at least one bar.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, la console porte une butée mobile, réglable en position dans le sens avant-arrière, et prévue pour retenir la partie avant de la jardinière, tout en permettant un réglage du support en fonction de la largeur de la jardinière. Cette butée peut être portée par une réglette horizontale pourvue d'une série d'ouvertures réparties sur sa longueur, tandis que la console comporte au moins deux crochets de retenue prévus pour être engagés dans certaines ouvertures, convenablement choisies, de cette réglette.According to another characteristic of the invention, the console carries a movable stop, adjustable in position in the front-rear direction, and designed to retain the front part of the planter, while allowing adjustment of the support as a function of the width of the planter. This stop can be carried by a horizontal strip provided with a series of openings distributed over its length, while the console comprises at least two retaining hooks intended to be engaged in certain openings, suitably chosen, of this strip.

Le montant peut encore comporter sur sa face avant, et à différents niveaux, des crochets prévus pour la retenue de la partie arrière de la jardinière, dans le cas d'une jardinière pourvue d'un rebord à son sommet. Les hauteurs des jardinières étant normalisées, il sera facile de prévoir ces derniers crochets à des hauteurs convenables, par rapport au niveau de la console.The upright may also include on its front face, and at different levels, hooks provided for retaining the rear part of the planter, in the case of a planter provided with a rim at its top. The heights of the planters being standardized, it will be easy to provide these latter hooks at suitable heights, relative to the level of the console.

Dans sa forme de réalisation la plus complète, le support de jardinière objet de l'invention se compose seulement de quatre pièces distinctes, à savoir : une première pièce, ou corps principal, constituée par le montant, la console et les deux bras - une deuxième pièce constituée par la barrette - une troisième pièce constituée par la réglette comportant le taquet d'appui - une quatrième pièce constituée par la butée solidaire d'une autre réglette. Ces quatre pièces sont réalisables en matière synthétique moulée, avec toutes leurs particularités telles que crochets et ouvertures diverses. La matière choisie procure l'élasticité nécessaire notamment pour l'accrochage de la barrette sur les crans des deux bras, et cette matière conserve sa qualité et son aspect d'origine pendant une durée pouvant être très longue.In its most complete embodiment, the planter support object of the invention consists of only four separate parts, namely: a first part, or main body, consisting of the upright, the console and the two arms - a second piece consisting of the bar - a third part constituted by the strip comprising the support cleat - a fourth part constituted by the stop integral with another strip. These four parts are available in molded synthetic material, with all their special features such as hooks and various openings. The material chosen provides the elasticity necessary in particular for the attachment of the bar on the notches of the two arms, and this material retains its quality and its original appearance for a period which may be very long.

De toute façon, l'invention sera mieux comprise à l'aide de la description qui suit, en référence au dessin schématique annexé représentant, à titre d'exemple non limitatif, une forme d'exécution de ce support de jardinière pour balcon :

  • Figure 1 est une vue d'ensemble en perspective d'une jardinière pour balcon fixée au moyen de deux supports conformes à la présente invention ;
  • Figure 2 est une vue en perspective éclatée d'un support conforme à l'invention ;
  • Figure 3 est une vue de côté, avec coupes partielles, du support de figure 2 représenté accroché à une balustrade de balcon ;
  • Figure 4 est une vue en plan par dessus de la réglette comportant le taquet d'appui, représentée seule.
Anyway, the invention will be better understood with the aid of the description which follows, with reference to the appended schematic drawing representing, by way of nonlimiting example, an embodiment of this support for a balcony planter:
  • Figure 1 is an overall perspective view of a balcony planter fixed by means of two supports according to the present invention;
  • Figure 2 is an exploded perspective view of a support according to the invention;
  • Figure 3 is a side view, with partial sections, of the support of Figure 2 shown hung on a balcony railing;
  • Figure 4 is a plan view from above of the slide with the support cleat, shown alone.

Comme le montre la figure 1, l'invention concerne d'une façon générale l'accrochage d'une jardinière 1, ayant la forme d'un bac allongé, à une balustrade de balcon 2. La fixation de la jardinière 1 est assurée au moyen de deux supports 3, qui se fixent à la main courante 4 de la balustrade 2 et qui soutiennent cette jardinière 1. L'objet précis de l'invention est constitué par le support 3, représenté plus en détail aux figures 2 et 3.As shown in Figure 1, the invention relates generally to the attachment of a planter 1, in the form of an elongated tray, to a balcony railing 2. The attachment of the planter 1 is provided to the by means of two supports 3, which are fixed to the handrail 4 of the railing 2 and which support this planter 1. The precise object of the invention consists of the support 3, shown in more detail in FIGS. 2 and 3.

Ce support 3 de jardinière pour balcon se compose de quatre pièces en matière synthétique moulée, à savoir : un corps principal 5, une barrette 6, une première réglette 7 et une seconde réglette 8, ces quatre pièces se distinguant clairement sur la figure 2.This balcony planter support 3 is made up of four molded plastic parts, namely: a main body 5, a bar 6, a first strip 7 and a second strip 8, these four parts being clearly distinguished in FIG. 2.

Le corps principal 5 comprend un montant 9, sensiblement vertical. Vers sa partie inférieure, le montant 9 est pourvu d'une console 10 tournée vers l'avant. Vers sa partie supérieure, le même montant 9 est pourvu de deux bras superposés 11 et 12, sensiblement horizontaux qui sont tournés vers l'arrière.The main body 5 comprises an upright 9, substantially vertical. Towards its lower part, the upright 9 is provided with a console 10 facing forward. Towards its upper part, the same upright 9 is provided with two superimposed arms 11 and 12, substantially horizontal which are turned towards the rear.

Les deux bras 11 et 12, solidaires du montant 9, présentent des faces crantées situées en correspondance. Plus particulièrement, le bras supérieur 11 possède des crans 13 sur sa face supérieure, tandis que le bras inférieur 12 possède des crans 14 sur sa face inférieure.The two arms 11 and 12, integral with the upright 9, have notched faces located in correspondence. More particularly, the upper arm 11 has notches 13 on its upper face, while the lower arm 12 has notches 14 on its lower face.

La barrette 6, disposée verticalement, est percée de deux ouvertures 15 et 16, ayant une forme en "T" correspondant aux profils des deux bras 11 et 12. Les ouvertures 15 et 16 de la barrette 6 sont ainsi prévues pour être traversées respectivement par les deux bras 11 et 12, les bords de ces ouvertures 15 et 16 venant s'accrocher sur les crans respectifs 13 et 14 des bras 11 et 12. On comprend que ces crans 13 et 14 permettent de régler la position de la barrette 6, qui peut être placée ainsi à une distance plus ou moins grande D du montant 9.The bar 6, arranged vertically, is pierced with two openings 15 and 16, having a "T" shape corresponding to the profiles of the two arms 11 and 12. The openings 15 and 16 of the bar 6 are thus provided to be traversed respectively by the two arms 11 and 12, the edges of these openings 15 and 16 hooking onto the respective notches 13 and 14 of the arms 11 and 12. It is understood that these notches 13 and 14 make it possible to adjust the position of the bar 6, which can thus be placed at a greater or lesser distance D from the upright 9.

Dans l'utilisation du support 3, comme le montre notamment la figure 3, les deux bras 11 et 12 sont engagés respectivement au-dessus et au-dessous de la main courante 4 de la balustrade 2, avant mise en place de la barrette 6. Ensuite, la barrette 6 est engagée sur les deux bras 11 et 12, pour relier ces deux bras en enlaçant la main courante 4, le réglage de position de cette barrette 6 permettant d'adapter le support 3 à la largeur de la main courante 4.In the use of the support 3, as shown in particular in FIG. 3, the two arms 11 and 12 are engaged respectively above and below the handrail 4 of the balustrade 2, before fitting the bar 6 Then, the bar 6 is engaged on the two arms 11 and 12, to connect these two arms by embracing the handrail 4, the position adjustment of this bar 6 making it possible to adapt the support 3 to the width of the handrail 4.

La première réglette 7, représentée seule sur la figure 4, comporte deux ailes verticales parallèles 17 reliées entre elles par des ponts de matière 18, délimitant une série d'ouvertures 19 réparties sur la longueur de cette réglette 7. Deux crochets de retenue 20, formés à l'extrémité inférieure du montant 9, sont prévus pour être engagés dans deux ouvertures 19 choisies de la réglette 7. Ainsi, la réglette 7 est maintenue horizontalement sous le corps principal 5, sa position étant réglable dans le sens avant-arrière.The first strip 7, shown alone in FIG. 4, comprises two parallel vertical wings 17 connected together by bridges of material 18, delimiting a series of openings 19 distributed over the length of this strip 7. Two retaining hooks 20, formed at the lower end of the upright 9, are provided to be engaged in two selected openings 19 of the strip 7. Thus, the strip 7 is held horizontally under the main body 5, its position being adjustable in the front-rear direction.

A son extrémité arrière, la première réglette 7 comporte un taquet 21, s'étendant transversalement à cette réglette 7. Des renforts triangulaires 22 relient les parties latérales du taquet 21 aux deux ailes 17 de la réglette 7. Ce taquet 21 est prévu pour prendre appui contre la balustrade 2, et plus particulièrement contre au moins un barreau 23 de la balustrade 2, A cet effet, la longueur L de la face d'appui du taquet 21 est choisie supérieure à l'intervalle qui sépare, habituellement, les barreaux 23 d'une telle balustrade de balcon 2.At its rear end, the first strip 7 comprises a cleat 21, extending transversely to this strip 7. Triangular reinforcements 22 connect the lateral parts of the cleat 21 to the two wings 17 of the strip 7. This cleat 21 is designed to take support against the railing 2, and more particularly against at least one bar 23 of the railing 2, For this purpose, the length L of the bearing face of the cleat 21 is chosen to be greater than the interval which usually separates the bars 23 of such a balcony railing 2.

Par le choix des deux ouvertures 19 dans lesquelles sont engagés les crochets 20, on règle la position de la barrette 7 et du taquet d'appui 21, afin de maintenir toujours l'aplomb du support 3.By choosing the two openings 19 in which the hooks 20 are engaged, the position of the bar 7 and the support cleat 21 is adjusted, in order to always maintain the verticality of the support 3.

La seconde barrette 8 présente elle aussi, entre deux ailes verticales parallèles 24, une série d'ouvertures 25 réparties sur la longueur de cette barrette 8. La console 10 est pourvue, sur sa face supérieure, de trois crochets de retenue 26 prévus pour être engagés dans des ouvertures 25 choisies de la réglette 8. Ainsi, la réglette 8 est maintenue horizontalement sur la console 10, sa position étant réglable dans le sens avant-arrière.The second bar 8 also has, between two parallel vertical wings 24, a series of openings 25 distributed over the length of this bar 8. The console 10 is provided, on its upper face, with three retaining hooks 26 designed to be engaged in selected openings 25 of the strip 8. Thus, the strip 8 is held horizontally on the console 10, its position being adjustable in the front-rear direction.

A son extrémité avant, la seconde réglette 8 porte une butée 27, prévue pour retenir soit directement la partie avant de la jardinière 1, soit le bord avant d'une sorte de soucoupe 28 sur laquelle repose la jardinière 1 - voir figures 1 et 3. On comprend que le réglage de la réglette 8 permet d'adapter le support 3 à diverses largeurs de la jardinière 1 et/ou de la soucoupe 28.At its front end, the second strip 8 carries a stop 27, provided for retaining either directly the front part of the planter 1, or the front edge of a sort of saucer 28 on which the planter 1 rests - see Figures 1 and 3 It is understood that the adjustment of the strip 8 makes it possible to adapt the support 3 to various widths of the planter 1 and / or of the saucer 28.

Le montant 9 comporte aussi, sur sa face avant et à différents niveaux, des crochets 29 tournés vers le haut, et prévus pour la retenue de la partie arrière de la jardinière 1. Comme le montre la figure 3, l'un des crochets 29, situé à hauteur convenable, est engagé sous le rebord supérieur 30 de la jardinière 1.The upright 9 also comprises, on its front face and at different levels, hooks 29 facing upwards, and provided for retaining the rear part of the planter 1. As shown in FIG. 3, one of the hooks 29 , located at a suitable height, is engaged under the upper edge 30 of the planter 1.

Dans la forme de réalisation représentée au dessin, le montant 9 présente encore, vers sa partie supérieure, une zone élargie 31 formant une sorte de plaquette, dans laquelle sont ménagés deux trous 32. Ces dispositions complémentaires permettent de fixer le support 3 directement contre une paroi verticale, telle qu'un mur ou une cloison, après avoir enlevé les parties, notamment les deux bras 11 et 12, situées en arrière du montant 9. Dans ce cas, le support 3 s'utilise évidemment sans la barrette 6 et sans la première réglette 7.In the embodiment shown in the drawing, the upright 9 also has, towards its upper part, an enlarged zone 31 forming a sort of plate, in which two holes 32 are formed. These complementary arrangements make it possible to fix the support 3 directly against a vertical wall, such as a wall or a partition, after removing the parts, in particular the two arms 11 and 12, located behind the upright 9. In this case, the support 3 is obviously used without the bar 6 and without the first strip 7.

Comme il va de soi, l'invention ne se limite pas à la seule forme d'exécution de ce support de jardinière pour balcon qui a été décrite ci-dessus, à titre d'exemple ; elle en embrasse, au contraire, toutes les variantes de réalisation et d'application respectant le même principe.It goes without saying that the invention is not limited to the sole embodiment of this balcony planter support which has been described above, by way of example; on the contrary, it embraces all of the variant embodiments and applications respecting the same principle.
