Description

La présente invention concerne un panneau utilisable pour l'accrochage et la présentation d'objets et, plus particulièrement, un tel panneau constitué d'une succession d'éléments horizontaux déterminant entre eux des rainures dans lesquelles peuvent s'engager des organes en forme de crochets servant par exemple à la suspension d' objets à présenter ou bien qui sont intégrés à des étagères.The present invention relates to a panel which can be used for hanging and presenting objects and, more particularly, such a panel consisting of a succession of horizontal elements determining between them grooves in which can be shaped bodies hooks used, for example, for hanging objects to be displayed or which are integrated into shelves.

On connaît de tels panneaux qui sont réalisés en bois, en particulier en aggloméré, matériau choisi parce qu'il se travaille facilement avec des outils traditionnels de menuiserie. Ces panneaux sont d'un coût réduit, mais ils présentent l'inconvénient d'avoir une présentation peu agréable, car ils vieillissent mal et se salissent, et d'être limités en charge. Il s'agit d'ailleurs de réalisations artisanales, faites sur mesure.Such panels are known which are made of wood, in particular chipboard, a material chosen because it is easy to work with traditional carpentry tools. These panels are of reduced cost, but they have the disadvantage of having an unpleasant presentation, because they age badly and get dirty, and of being limited in load. These are besides artisanal creations, made to measure.

On connaît aussi des panneaux réalisés en aluminium extrudé ou en bois extrudé avec profilé plastique, qui donnent satisfaction au niveau de la présentation mais moins en ce qui concerne la résistance à la charge, en particulier pour les panneaux en bois. Toutefois, en raison du coût de leurs matériaux constitutifs, ces panneaux sont d'une prix de revient élevé qui nuit à leur développement, en particulier pour l'équipement de grandes surfaces d'exposition.There are also known panels made of extruded aluminum or extruded wood with plastic profile, which give satisfaction in terms of presentation but less in terms of load resistance, in particular for wooden panels. However, because of the cost of their constituent materials, these panels are of a high cost price which hinders their development, in particular for the equipment of large exhibition areas.

Le document DE-A-2 250 987 décrit, plus particulièrement en référence a sa figure 3, un procédé de fabrication d'un panneau de support qui comprend les opérations successives consistant :

  • à découper des lames de tôle identiques dont la longueur correspond à celle du panneau à réaliser,
  • à soumettre chaque lame ainsi obtenue à des opérations de formage successives pour lui donner un profil tel qu'elle présente, en direction transversale, des extrémités disposées sensiblement dans un même plan et séparées entre elles par une partie intermédiaire en saillie qui est reliée à l'une desdites extrémités par une portion en S,
  • à disposer ces lames à la suite les unes des autres de façon que les parties saillantes de deux lames successives déterminent une rainure et que les extrémités opposées de deux lames successives viennent en butée l'une contre l'autre, et
  • à assembler par soudage les lames ainsi disposées.
Document DE-A-2 250 987 describes, more particularly with reference to FIG. 3, a method of manufacturing a support panel which comprises the successive operations consisting of:
  • to cut identical sheet metal blades whose length corresponds to that of the panel to be produced,
  • subjecting each blade thus obtained to successive forming operations to give it a profile such that it has, in transverse direction, ends arranged substantially in the same plane and separated from each other by a projecting intermediate part which is connected to the 'one of said ends by an S-shaped portion,
  • placing these blades one after the other so that the projecting parts of two successive blades define a groove and that the opposite ends of two successive blades come into abutment against one another, and
  • to assemble by welding the blades thus arranged.

Le document US-A-4 607 753 décrit, en référence à sa figure 3A, un panneau de support constitué d'une succession de lames identiques dont chacune présente des extrémités qui sont disposées sensiblement dans un même plan et qui sont orientées dans la même direction. Pour leur assemblage les lames successives sont disposées de façon que leurs extrémités adjacentes se superposent sur une assez grande longueur et l'assemblage est réalisé par des vis derrière la partie en saillie de l'une de ces lames.Document US-A-4 607 753 describes, with reference to FIG. 3A, a support panel made up of a succession of identical blades, each of which has ends which are arranged substantially in the same plane and which are oriented in the same direction. For their assembly, the successive blades are arranged so that their adjacent ends are superimposed over a fairly long length and the assembly is carried out by screws behind the projecting part of one of these blades.

La présente invention a pour objet de remédier aux inconvénients mentionnés ci-dessus des panneaux de présentation connus et elle propose à cet effet de fournir un panneau de présentation qui, tout en étant de fabrication simple et d'un prix de revient peu élevé, assure une excellente résistance à la charge et procure une présentation irréprochable.The object of the present invention is to remedy the above-mentioned drawbacks of known presentation panels and for this purpose it proposes to provide a presentation panel which, while being simple to manufacture and of a low cost price, ensures excellent load resistance and provides an impeccable presentation.

Selon l'invention on utilise, pour la réalisation de panneaux de présentation, un matériau résistant et peu onéreux constitué par de la tôle qui est travaillée selon un mode opératoire particulièrement original. En effet, selon l'invention, le procédé de fabrication d'un panneau de support pour la présentation d'objets comprend les opérations successives qui consistent

  • à découper des lames de tôle identiques dont la longueur correspond à celle du panneau à réaliser,
  • à soumettre chaque lame ainsi obtenue à des opérations de formage successives pour lui donner un profil tel qu'elle présente, en direction transversale, des extrémités disposées sensiblement dans un même plan et séparées entre elles par une partie intermédiaire en saillie qui est reliée à l'une desdites extrémités par une portion en S, et
  • à disposer ces lames à la suite les unes des autres de façon que les parties saillantes de deux lames successives déterminent une rainure, en appliquant sur toute la longueur une extrémité d'une lame sur l'extrémité opposée de la lame précédente de façon que ces extrémités se superposent, et
  • à assembler les lames dans cette position,
et il se caractérise en ce que lors du formage de chaque lame on oriente les extrémités de celle-ci en direction opposées vers l'extérieur du profil de la lame, et en ce que l'assemblage des lames s'effectue par soudure par point après réglage, par coulissement des extrémités superposées, de la hauteur de la rainure ainsi determinée.According to the invention, a resistant and inexpensive material consisting of sheet metal which is worked according to a particularly original operating method is used for the production of presentation panels. Indeed, according to the invention, the method of manufacturing a support panel for the presentation of objects comprises the successive operations which consist
  • to cut identical sheet metal blades whose length corresponds to that of the panel to be produced,
  • subjecting each blade thus obtained to successive forming operations to give it a profile such that it has, in transverse direction, ends arranged substantially in the same plane and separated from each other by a projecting intermediate part which is connected to the 'one of said ends by an S-shaped portion, and
  • arranging these blades one after the other so that the projecting parts of two successive blades define a groove, by applying over the entire length one end of a blade to the opposite end of the previous blade so that these ends overlap, and
  • to assemble the blades in this position,
and it is characterized in that during the forming of each blade the ends of the latter are oriented in opposite directions towards the outside of the profile of the blade, and in that the assembly of the blades is effected by welding by point after adjustment, by sliding the superimposed ends, of the height of the groove thus determined.

Selon l'invention les opérations successives de formage des lames comprennent :

  • une première opération de formage réalisant une double pliure de la lame autour de deux premières lignes de pliage transversales,
  • une seconde opération de formage réalisant un double pliage à plat de la lame, autour de deux nouvelles lignes de pliage transversales disposées de part et d'autre desdites premières lignes de pliage, de façon que les deux parties extrêmes de la lame soient parallèles et reliées entre elles par une partie en profil en S, et
  • une troisième opération de formage réalisant une double pliure de la lame du côté de l'une de ses parties extrêmes, autour de deux lignes de pliage transversales supplémentaires, de façon à amener les deux parties extrêmes de la lame sensiblement dans un même plan.
According to the invention, the successive operations of forming the blades comprise:
  • a first forming operation performing a double fold of the blade around two first transverse fold lines,
  • a second forming operation performing a double flat folding of the blade, around two new transverse fold lines arranged on either side of said first fold lines, so that the two end parts of the blade are parallel and connected between them by an S-shaped part, and
  • a third forming operation performing a double fold of the blade on the side of one of its end parts, around two additional transverse fold lines, so as to bring the two end parts of the blade substantially in the same plane.

Le panneau de support selon l'invention pour la présentation d'objets comprend une succession de lames en tôle présentant des extrémités longitudinales disposées dans un même plan et une partie intermédiaire en saillie, la zone d'assemblage de deux lames successives se trouvant dans une zone de recouvrement des extrémités adjacentes de ces lames, et les parties saillantes de deux lames successives déterminant une rainure qui permet l'accrochage d'organes de suspension, et il se caractérise en ce que les extrémités opposées de chaque lame sont orientées en directions opposées vers l' extérieur de la lame, et en ce que l'assemblage de deux lames successives dans la zone de recouvrement de leurs extrémités adjacentes est réalisé par soudure par point.The support panel according to the invention for the presentation of objects comprises a succession of sheet metal blades having longitudinal ends arranged in the same plane and an intermediate projecting part, the assembly zone of two successive blades being in a overlapping area of the adjacent ends of these blades, and the projecting parts of two successive blades defining a groove which allows the attachment of suspension members, and it is characterized in that the opposite ends of each blade are oriented in opposite directions towards the outside of the blade, and in that the assembly of two successive blades in the overlap zone of their adjacent ends is carried out by spot welding.

On comprend que, selon le procédé de l'invention, on peut réaliser des panneaux comportant des lames de toutes largeurs et de toutes hauteurs avec le même outillage. On comprend aussi que la conception de formage des lames permet de rattraper, à l'assemblage de celles-ci, les différences de cotes dues à l'accumulation des tolérances des matériaux ainsi que les différences découlant des différentes opérations exécutées.It is understood that, according to the method of the invention, it is possible to produce panels comprising strips of all widths and all heights with the same tool. It is also understood that the design of forming the blades makes it possible to make up, when assembling them, the differences in dimensions due to the accumulation of material tolerances as well as the differences arising from the various operations carried out.

Lors de l'assemblage des lames entre elles on peut régler à volonté l'espace entre les parties saillantes des lames successives, cet espace pouvant être de 8 à 10 mm, ou plus, sans modifier la conception de fabrication des lames.When assembling the blades together, the space between the projecting parts of the successive blades can be adjusted as desired, this space possibly being 8 to 10 mm, or more, without modifying the design of manufacturing the blades.

Les lames ainsi assemblées en panneaux peuvent être accrochées sur des montants en aveugle avec un système d'emboîtage, ce qui permet l'obtention d'une présentation particulièrement agréable par alignement des panneaux sans poteaux intermédiaires visibles.The blades thus assembled into panels can be hung on blind uprights with a casing system, which allows a particularly pleasant presentation to be obtained by aligning the panels without visible intermediate posts.

Pour bien faire comprendre le procédé de fabrication selon l'invention on en décrira ci-après, à titre d'exemple sans caractère limitatif, une forme de réalisation préférée en référence au dessin schématique annexé dans lequel :

  • la figure 1 est une vue de face d'une lame de tôle utilisée pour la mise en oeuvre du procédé selon l'invention ;

Pour la fabrication de panneaux de présentation selon l'invention, on utilise des lames de tôle identiques 1, dont une a été représentée aux figures 1 et 2, ayant une longueur qui correspond à celle du panneau à réaliser. La lame de tôle 1 subit, à un premier poste de travail, une première opération de formage comprenant la réalisation d'un douple pli autour des lignes 2 et 3 pour présenter, comme représenté à la figure 3, deux parties extrêmes parallèles 4, 5 reliées ensemble par une partie 6 orientée perpendiculairement à elles.For the production of presentation panels according to the invention, identical sheet metal blades 1 are used, one of which has been shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, having a length which corresponds to that of the panel to be produced. The sheet metal blade 1 undergoes, at a first work station, a first forming operation comprising the production of a folded douple around the lines 2 and 3 to present, as shown in FIG. 3, two parallel end portions 4, 5 connected together by a part 6 oriented perpendicular to them.

Une seconde opération de formage est alors réalisée à un second poste de travail, au cours de laquelle la lame 1 subit deux pliages à plat, autour des lignes 7, 8, de façon comme représenté à la figure 4 que ses parties extrêmes 4, 5 sensiblement parallèles soient reliées ensemble par une partie intermédiaire à profil en S.A second forming operation is then carried out at a second work station, during which the blade 1 undergoes two flat folds, around the lines 7, 8, so as shown in FIG. 4 that its end portions 4, 5 substantially parallel are connected together by an intermediate part with an S-profile.

Sur un troisième poste de formage, la lame 1 subit ensuite un double pliage au voisinage de sa partie extrême 5, autour des lignes 9, 10, de façon que ses parties extrêmes 4, 5 soient sensiblement dans un même plan comme on le voit à la figure 5.On a third forming station, the blade 1 then undergoes a double folding in the vicinity of its end part 5, around the lines 9, 10, so that its extreme parts 4, 5 are substantially in the same plane as seen in FIG. 5.

Les lames 1 ainsi formées sont alors assemblées les unes aux autres, comme représenté aux figures 6 et 7, par application de l'extrémité 4 d'une lame contre l'extrémité 5 de la lame précédente et solidarisation sur toute la longueur des lames par des points de soudure 11. L'espace 12 laissé entre les lames 1 lors de l'assemblage, et qui constitue les rainures dans lesquelles pourront s'engager des organes 13 formant crochets pour la suspension des objets à présenter, peut être par exemple de l'ordre de 8 à 10 mm.The blades 1 thus formed are then assembled to each other, as shown in Figures 6 and 7, by applying the end 4 of a blade against the end 5 of the previous blade and joining over the entire length of the blades by weld points 11. The space 12 left between the blades 1 during assembly, and which constitutes the grooves in which bodies 13 forming hooks can be engaged for the suspension of the objects to be presented, can for example be in the range of 8 to 10 mm.

Aux panneaux ainsi constitués d'un nombre déterminé de lames 1, par exemple neuf ou treize lames, sont fixés des montants verticaux 14 en forme de cornière. Comme on le voit aux figures 6 et 7, la face arrière du panneau est soudée à une aile 15 du montant 14, alors que l'autre aile 16 du montant présente des découpes 17 conçues pour s'accrocher sur des supports muraux.To the panels thus formed of a determined number of blades 1, for example nine or thirteen blades, are fixed vertical uprights 14 in the form of angle iron. As seen in Figures 6 and 7, the rear face of the panel is welded to a wing 15 of the upright 14, while the other wing 16 of the upright has cutouts 17 designed to hang on wall supports.

Après fabrication, le panneau ainsi obtenu est soumis à des opérations de peinture afin de présenter un aspect agréable permettant son utilisation dans tous les lieux d'exposition.After manufacture, the panel thus obtained is subjected to painting operations in order to present a pleasant appearance allowing its use in all the exhibition places.

Les panneaux selon l'invention sont généralement fabriqués selon des longueurs standards de sorte que, lorsque la longueur de l'espace à équiper est légèrement supérieure à la longueur du panneau, un espace reste libre sur le côté du panneau après mise en place de celui-ci ce qui procure un effet disgracieux. Pour remédier à cet inconvénient on réalise des lames en tôle présentant chacune un profil en forme de glissière pour coulisser sur la partie extrême d'une lame du panneau, et qui sont destinées à être fixées individuellement sur un montant vertical solidaire de l'extrémité de l'espace à combler.The panels according to the invention are generally manufactured according to standard lengths so that, when the length of the space to be fitted is slightly greater than the length of the panel, a space remains free on the side of the panel after installation of that this which gives an unsightly effect. To remedy this drawback, sheet metal blades are produced, each having a profile in the form of a slideway for sliding on the end part of a blade of the panel, and which are intended to be fixed individually on a vertical upright secured to the end of the space to fill.

Comme on le voit aux figures 8 à 10, chacune de ces lames 18 présente une partie en forme de U renversée terminée à une extrémité par une aile 19 tournée vers l'extérieur et, à l'autre extrémité, par une aile 20 tournée vers l'intérieur. Pour la mise en place, chaque lame 18 est engagée pour coulisser sur une lame 1 du panneau et son extrémité, qui fait saillie latéralement par rapport au panneau, est fixée au montant 21 solidaire de l'extrémité de l'espace à équiper. Cette fixation s'effectue au moyen d'un boulon 22 serrant l'aile 19 de la lame 18 contre le montant 21. Comme on le voit à la figure 10 le boulon 22 sert en même temps à fixer l'extrémité inférieure de la lame 18 précédente, par serrage de l'aile 20 de cette lame entre la tête du boulon 22 et une rondelle 23. La figure 8 montre le résultat obtenu lorsque les lames 18 successives ont été fixées.As seen in Figures 8 to 10, each of these blades 18 has a U-shaped part overturned terminated at one end by a wing 19 facing outwards and, at the other end, by a wing 20 facing inwards. For implementation, each blade 18 is engaged to slide on a blade 1 of the panel and its end, which projects laterally with respect to the panel, is fixed to the upright 21 secured to the end of the space to be fitted. This fixing is carried out by means of a bolt 22 tightening the wing 19 of the blade 18 against the upright 21. As can be seen in FIG. 10, the bolt 22 serves at the same time to fix the lower end of the blade 18 above, by tightening the wing 20 of this blade between the head of the bolt 22 and a washer 23. FIG. 8 shows the result obtained when the successive blades 18 have been fixed.

Les panneaux selon l'invention étant destinés généralement à être associés à un socle et à un fronton on comprend que ceux-ci peuvent être prévus télescopiques de façon à pouvoir s'étendre latéralement lorsque le panneau subit lui-même une extension latérale de la façon représentée aux figures 8 à 10.The panels according to the invention being generally intended to be associated with a base and a pediment it is understood that these can be provided telescopic so as to be able to extend laterally when the panel itself undergoes lateral extension in the way shown in Figures 8 to 10.

On comprendra que la description ci-dessus a été donnée à simple titre d'exemple, sans caractère limitatif, et que des adjonctions ou des modifications constructives pourraient y être apportées sans sortir du cadre de l'invention définie par les revendication qui suivent.It will be understood that the above description has been given by way of example, without limitation, and that additions or constructive modifications could be made without departing from the scope of the invention defined by the claims which follow.
