Description

La présente invention est relative à un support de tablette d'étagère, prévu pour supporter celle-ci en porte-à-faux sur une paroi et comprenant au moins deux pièces profilées formant entre elles une gorge présentant un côté supérieur, un côté inférieur et un fond du côté paroi, ainsi qu'une ouverture du côté opposé au fond, par laquelle un bord de tablette peut être inséré dans la gorge, une première pièce profilée formant un desdits côtés supérieur et inférieur de la gorge, une deuxième pièce profilée formant l'autre de ces côtés, des moyens d'ajustement d'écartement entre le côté supérieur et le côté inférieur de la gorge, en fonction de l'épaisseur de la tablette, ainsi que des moyens de fixation du support sur la paroi.The present invention relates to a shelf support, provided to support the latter in a cantilever fashion on a wall and comprising at least two profiled parts forming between them a groove having an upper side, a lower side and a bottom on the wall side, as well as an opening on the side opposite the bottom, through which a shelf edge can be inserted into the groove, a first profiled part forming one of said upper and lower sides of the groove, a second profiled part forming the other of these sides, means for adjusting the spacing between the upper side and the lower side of the groove, as a function of the thickness of the tablet, as well as means for fixing the support to the wall.

Il est connu de supporter des bords de tablette d'étagère par des profilés longitudinaux en forme de U entre les ailes desquels le bord de tablette est pincé (voir GB-1126253 et GB-1214455). Ces profilés sont cependant fragiles car, par leur forme même, leurs ailes sont mécaniquement aisément déformables.It is known to support edges of shelf shelves by longitudinal U-shaped profiles between the wings of which the shelf edge is pinched (see GB-1126253 and GB-1214455). These sections are however fragile because, by their very shape, their wings are mechanically easily deformable.

On a cherche à résoudre ce problème en rendant les ailes de pinçage du support indéformables au maximum. Une solution selon l'état connu de la technique consiste en un support comprenant un profilé allongé en forme de U dans lequel les ailes supérieure et inférieure du U font chacune partie d'une structure triangulaire qui est, par essence, connue pour être difficilement déformable (voir GB-A-2053666).We tried to solve this problem by making the clamping wings of the support non-deformable to the maximum. A solution according to the known state of the art consists of a support comprising an elongated U-shaped profile in which the upper and lower wings of the U are each part of a triangular structure which is, in essence, known to be difficult to deform (see GB-A-2053666).

Le caractère indéformable du support améliore donc sa capacité de support de la tablette en porte-à-faux. Toutefois, un problème se pose au niveau de l'introduction de la tablette, car l'écartement élastique entre les ailes supérieure et inférieure étant exclu, une grande précision dans la fabrication des profilés et des tablettes est requise pour que celles-ci soient bien calées dans la gorge des profilés.The non-deformable nature of the support therefore improves its capacity for supporting the cantilevered tablet. However, a problem arises in the introduction of the shelf, since the elastic spacing between the upper and lower wings being excluded, great precision in the manufacture of the profiles and shelves is required so that they are properly seated in the groove of the profiles.

On a donc essayé d'obvier aussi à ce dernier inconvénient en proposant des supports de tablette présentant à la fois une certaine résistance mécanique et une certaine élasticité. On a prévu des solutions selon lesquelles la partie inférieure du profilé est indéformable, tandis que la partie supérieure présente une certaine capacité de déformation élastique (voir GB-A-2155310 et US-A- 4508301). On est même parvenu à mettre au point un support de tablette opposant la même résistance que celle du support décrit dans la GB-A-2053666 et permettant en outre une introduction souple de la tablette dans le support et un coinçage de celle-ci par pinçage élastique entre les ailes supérieure et inférieure du profilé (voir EP-A-236586).We have therefore tried to obviate this last drawback by proposing shelf supports having both a certain mechanical strength and a certain elasticity. Solutions have been provided according to which the lower part of the profile is undeformable, while the upper part has a certain capacity for elastic deformation (see GB-A-2155310 and US-A-4508301). We even managed to develop a tablet support opposing the same resistance as that of the support described in GB-A-2053666 and also allowing flexible introduction of the tablet into the support and wedging thereof by pinching elastic between the upper and lower wings of the profile (see EP-A-236586).

Bien que des derniers supports selon l'état connu de la technique permettent une certaine tolérance dans les épaisseurs des tablettes sans que leur blocage par pinçage dans le support n'en soit altéré, il est bien entendu que cette tolérance présente des limites.Although last supports according to the known state of the art allow a certain tolerance in the thicknesses of the shelves without their pinching blocking in the support being altered, it is understood that this tolerance has limits.

Aussi on a envisagé récemment des supports de tablette d'étagère du type décrit au début, selon le préambule de la revendication 1.Also, shelf shelf supports of the type described at the start have been contemplated recently, according to the preamble of claim 1.

On connaît notamment les supports d'étagère mis sur le marché par la firme Robert Lewis (Marylebone) Limited sous la dénomination commerciale de Regal(R) Shelfit ou par la firme Aldeghi Luigi spa sous la dénomination commerciale de Art. 2590. Des supports d'étagère identiques aux premiers cités sont également mis sur le marché sous la dénomination commerciale de Schadébo(R).We know in particular the shelf supports put on the market by the firm Robert Lewis (Marylebone) Limited under the trade name of Regal (R) Shelfit or by the company Aldeghi Luigi spa under the trade name of Art. 2590. Shelf supports identical to the first mentioned are also placed on the market under the trade name of Schadébo (R) .

Dans ces supports connus on a prévu deux pièces réalisées sous des formes parfaitement indéformables. L'une des pièces est fixée à la paroi. L'autre est fixée à la première par un système à vis, qui, après le placement du bord de tablette contre la pièce fixée à la paroi, permet de serrer la tablette entre les deux pièces par vissage.In these known supports, two parts have been provided made in perfectly non-deformable forms. One of the pieces is fixed to the wall. The other is fixed to the first by a screw system, which, after placing the shelf edge against the piece fixed to the wall, allows the shelf to be clamped between the two pieces by screwing.

Ces supports présentent plusieurs inconvénients comme celui de nécessiter un grand nombre de pièces détachées, un usinage spécial des pièces, après leur façonnage, pour permettre le processus de vissage et une fixation de la tablette par un serrage résultant uniquement de la force du vissage, en des endroits ponctuels.These supports have several disadvantages such as that of requiring a large number of spare parts, a special machining of the parts, after their shaping, to allow the process screwing and fixing of the shelf by tightening resulting solely from the force of the screwing, in specific places.

La présente invention a pour but de mettre au point un support de tablette d'étagère du type décrit au début qui présente à la fois les avantages de ce type de support de tablette, c'est-à-dire une adaptation à des tablettes d'épaisseurs différentes, et les avantages d'un support permettant le calage de la tablette par pinçage dans la gorge du support. Avantageusement, ces supports doivent en outre surmonter les inconvénients présentés par les systèmes à vis des supports précités selon l'état connu de la technique.The present invention aims to develop a shelf shelf support of the type described at the beginning which has both the advantages of this type of shelf support, that is to say an adaptation to shelves of '' different thicknesses, and the advantages of a support allowing the setting of the tablet by pinching in the groove of the support. Advantageously, these supports must also overcome the drawbacks presented by the systems with regard to the aforementioned supports according to the known state of the art.

Pour résoudre ces problèmes, on a prévu, suivant l'invention, un support de tablette d'étagère du type décrit au début, caractérisé en ce qu'au moins un des côtés inférieur et supérieur de la gorge présente au moins une zone à capacité de déformation élastique qui facilite l'insertion du bord de tablette dans l'ouverture de la gorge et permet un pinçage de ce bord dans la gorge, après l'insertion, en ce que, après l'insertion du bord de tablette dans la gorge, la deuxième pièce profilée est en position intercalée entre une face de la tablette et un élément d'appui de la première pièce profilée, et en ce que les moyens d'ajustement d'écartement sont prévus sur l'élément d'appui précité et sur la deuxième pièce profilée de manière à coopérer pour positionner ces derniers réciproquement en fonction de l'épaisseur du bord de tablette, avant son insertion dans la gorge.To solve these problems, provision has been made, according to the invention, for a shelf shelf support of the type described at the start, characterized in that at least one of the lower and upper sides of the groove has at least one capacity zone. elastic deformation which facilitates the insertion of the edge of the shelf into the opening of the groove and allows a pinching of this edge in the groove, after the insertion, in that, after the insertion of the edge of the shelf into the groove , the second profiled part is in an interposed position between one face of the tablet and a support element of the first profiled part, and in that the spacing adjustment means are provided on the abovementioned support element and on the second profiled part so as to cooperate to position the latter reciprocally as a function of the thickness of the shelf edge, before its insertion into the groove.

Suivant une forme de réalisation de l'invention, l'élément d'appui est prévu indéformable et une partie de la deuxième pièce profilée est, à l'opposé de la paroi, en saillie au-delà de l'élément d'appui, cette partie en saillie formant ladite zone à capacité de déformation élastique. Suivant une variante de réalisation l'élément d'appui comporte, du côté paroi, une section indéformable et, du côté opposé à la paroi, une section élastiquement déformable, et la deuxième pièce profilée forme ladite zone à capacité de déformation élastique. Suivant encore une autre variante, l'élément d'appui et la deuxième pièce profilée sont prévues indéformables et la première pièce profilée présente au moins une section élastiquement déformable formant ladite zone à capacité de déformation élastique.According to one embodiment of the invention, the support element is provided to be non-deformable and part of the second profiled part is, opposite the wall, projecting beyond the support element, this projecting part forming said zone with elastic deformation capacity. According to an alternative embodiment, the support element comprises, on the wall side, a non-deformable section and, on the side opposite to the wall, an elastically deformable section, and the second profiled part forms said zone with capacity for elastic deformation. According to yet another variant, the support element and the second profiled part are provided with non-deformable shape and the first profiled part has at least one elastically deformable section. forming said zone with elastic deformation capacity.

Suivant une forme perfectionnée de réalisation de l'invention, comme moyens d'ajustement d'écartement, l'élément d'appui et la deuxième pièce profilée sont pourvus d'organes d'accrochage mutuel qui coopèrent par la forme, de façon que, dans n'importe quelle position d'ajustement choisie, la deuxième pièce profilée soit parallèle à elle-même.According to an improved embodiment of the invention, as spacing adjustment means, the support element and the second profiled part are provided with mutual hooking members which cooperate by form, so that, in any chosen adjustment position, the second profiled part is parallel to itself.

Suivant une forme préférée de réalisation de l'invention, la première pièce profilée comprend une aile formant le côté supérieur de la gorge, une âme formant le fond de la gorge et un élément d'appui supportant par le bas la deuxième pièce profilée formant le côté inférieur de la gorge.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the first profiled part comprises a wing forming the upper side of the groove, a core forming the bottom of the groove and a support element supporting from below the second profiled part forming the lower side of the throat.

Sur les dessins, les éléments identiques ou analogues sont désignés par les mêmes références.In the drawings, identical or analogous elements are designated by the same references.

Ainsi qu'il ressort en particulier des figures 1 et 2, le support de tablette d'étagère illustré comprend deux pièces profilées désignées par les références générales 1 et 2.As can be seen in particular from FIGS. 1 and 2, the illustrated shelf shelf support comprises two parts profiles designated by general references 1 and 2.

La première pièce profilée illustrée comporte une structure supérieure à section transversale triangulaire, qui est désignée par la référence générale 3 et dont un premier côté est formé par une aile d'application 4 destinée à prendre appui contre une paroi, un deuxième côté est une aile de base 5 s'étendant perpendiculairement à la paroi et un troisième côté forme une aile d'entretoise 6 qui s'étend en oblique entre l'extrémité supérieure de l'aile d'application 4 et l'extrémité opposée à la paroi de l'aile de base 5.The first illustrated profiled part has an upper structure with a triangular cross section, which is designated by the general reference 3 and of which a first side is formed by an application wing 4 intended to bear against a wall, a second side is a wing base 5 extending perpendicularly to the wall and a third side forms a spacer wing 6 which extends obliquely between the upper end of the application wing 4 and the end opposite the wall of the base wing 5.

La première pièce profilée 1 comporte en outre une âme 7 qui s'étend vers le bas sensiblement dans le prolongement de l'aile d'application 4. Elle présente aussi une structure inférieure à section transversale approximativement triangulaire, qui est désignée par la référence générale 8 et dont un premier côté est formé par une aile d'application 9, qui s'étend vers le bas sensiblement dans le prolongement de l'âme 7, un deuxième côté est une aile de support 10 et le troisième côté forme une aile d'entretoise 11 qui s'étend en oblique entre l'extrémité inférieure de l'aile d'application 9 et l'extrémité opposée à la paroi de l'aile de support 10.The first profiled part 1 also comprises a core 7 which extends downwards substantially in the extension of the application wing 4. It also has a lower structure with approximately triangular cross section, which is designated by the general reference 8 and of which a first side is formed by an application wing 9, which extends downwards substantially in the extension of the core 7, a second side is a support wing 10 and the third side forms a wing d spacer 11 which extends obliquely between the lower end of the application wing 9 and the end opposite the wall of the support wing 10.

Les ailes d'application 4 et 9 et l'âme 7 sont destinées à être appliquées contre une paroi, lorsque le support est fixé. L'âme 7 présente au moins une perforation 12 à travers lequelle une vis, non représentée, peut être passée, pour la fixation du support sur la paroi.The application wings 4 and 9 and the core 7 are intended to be applied against a wall, when the support is fixed. The core 7 has at least one perforation 12 through which a screw, not shown, can be passed, for fixing the support to the wall.

Ainsi qu'il ressort en particulier des figures 3 à 5, la deuxième pièce profilée 2 est destinée, dans cet exemple de réalisation, à prendre appui sur l'aile de support 10 de la structure inférieure 8. Celle-ci forme ce que l'on appellera dans la suite l'élément d'appui de la première pièce profilée 1.As is shown in particular in FIGS. 3 to 5, the second profiled part 2 is intended, in this embodiment, to bear on the support wing 10 of the lower structure 8. This forms what the 'We will call in the following the support element of the first profiled part 1.

En position d'assemblage des deux pièces profilées 1 et 2, celles-ci forment entre elles une gorge désignée d'une manière générale par la référence 13 (voir figure 4). Cette gorge présente un côté supérieur formé par l'aile de base 5 de la structure supérieure 3 de la première pièce profilée 1, un côté inférieur formé par la deuxième pièce profilée 2 et un fond, du côté paroi, qui est formé par l'âme 7 de la première pièce profilée 1, ainsi qu'une ouverture du côté opposé au fond, par laquelle un bord de tablette 14 (voir figure 3, en traits mixtes) peut être inséré dans la gorge.In the assembly position of the two profiled parts 1 and 2, these form between them a groove generally designated by the reference 13 (see Figure 4). This groove has an upper side formed by the base wing 5 of the upper structure 3 of the first profiled part 1, a lower side formed by the second profiled part 2 and a bottom, on the wall side, which is formed by the core 7 of the first profiled part 1, as well as an opening on the side opposite the bottom, through which a shelf edge 14 (see Figure 3, in phantom) can be inserted into the groove.

Ainsi qu'il ressort en particulier de la figure 2, la deuxième pièce profilée 2 est pourvue à son bord arrière 26, c'est-à-dire du côté paroi, d'un rebord 16 qui s'étend verticalement vers le bas. Elle comprend en outre deux sections de surface approximativement identique, une section arrière 17 très légèrement inclinée vers le bas dans le sens opposé à la paroi et une section avant très légèrement inclinée vers le haut dans le même sens. Ces deux sections ont ainsi, en section transversale, la forme d'un V très largement aplati et elles sont mutuellement reliées le long de l'arête 28 formée par ce V. La section avant 18 présente à son bord opposé à la paroi un épaississement vers le bas 19. A ce bord se raccorde ensuite une section d'extrémité en forme de U 20, dont l'aile extérieure 15 forme ici le bord libre 21 du côté inférieur de la gorge 13.As can be seen in particular from FIG. 2, the second profiled part 2 is provided at its rear edge 26, that is to say on the wall side, with a flange 16 which extends vertically downwards. It further comprises two sections of approximately identical surface area, a rear section 17 very slightly inclined downwards in the opposite direction to the wall and a front section very slightly inclined upwards in the same direction. These two sections thus have, in cross section, the shape of a very largely flattened V and they are mutually connected along the edge 28 formed by this V. The front section 18 has a thickening at its edge opposite the wall downwards 19. A U-shaped end section 20 is then connected to this edge, the outer wing 15 of which forms here the free edge 21 on the lower side of the groove 13.

L'aile de support 10 de la première pièce profilée 1 illustrée sur les figures 1 à 4 présente le long de son bord arrière trois rainures successives 22 à 24.The support wing 10 of the first profiled part 1 illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 4 has along its rear edge three successive grooves 22 to 24.

La profondeur de celles-ci permet l'engagement dans ces rainures du rebord 16 de la deuxième pièce profilée 2. Le rebord 16 et les rainures 22 à 24 peuvent ainsi former des moyens d'accrochage mutuel coopérant uniquement par la forme.The depth of these allows engagement in these grooves of the flange 16 of the second profiled part 2. The flange 16 and the grooves 22 to 24 can thus form mutual hooking means cooperating only by shape.

La distance entre la rainure 24 et l'extrémité opposée à la paroi de l'aile de support 10 est égale à la distance entre le rebord 16 et l'épaississement 19 de la deuxième pièce profilée (voir figure 5). La distance entre la rainure 23 et l'extrémité opposée à la paroi de l'aile de support 10 est égale à la distance entre le rebord 16 et l'aile intérieure 25 de la section d'extrémité 20 de la deuxième pièce profilée (voir figure 4).The distance between the groove 24 and the end opposite the wall of the support wing 10 is equal to the distance between the flange 16 and the thickening 19 of the second profiled part (see FIG. 5). The distance between the groove 23 and the end opposite the wall of the support wing 10 is equal to the distance between the flange 16 and the internal wing 25 of the end section 20 of the second profiled part (see figure 4).

L'extrémité inférieure du rebord 16 de la deuxième pièce profilée et la face inférieure de sa section d'extrémité 20 sont situées dans un plan imaginaire P₁ (voir figure 2). De même le bord arrière 26 de la section arrière 17 de la deuxième pièce profilée 2 et le bord libre 21 de sa section d'extrémité 20 sont situées dans un même plan P₂, qui n'est traversé par aucune autre partie de la deuxième pièce profilée 2. Dans l'exemple illustré les plans P₁ et P₂ sont parallèles.The lower end of the rim 16 of the second profiled part and the lower face of its end section 20 are located in an imaginary plane P₁ (see FIG. 2). Likewise the rear edge 26 of the rear section 17 of the second profiled part 2 and the free edge 21 of its end section 20 are located in the same plane P₂, which is not crossed by any other part of the second profiled part 2. In the example illustrated, the planes P₁ and P₂ are parallel.

Le fond de la rainure 22 et l'extrémité opposée à la paroi de l'aile de support 10 se trouvent dans un plan imaginaire P₃ (voir figure 1). La différence de hauteur entre le fond de la rainure 22 et le fond de la rainure 23 équivaut à la différence de hauteur entre le plan P₁ et l'épaisseur 19. La différence de hauteur entre le fond de la rainure 23 et le fond de la rainure 24 équivaut à la différence de hauteur entre l'épaississement 19 et la face inférieure de la section avant 18, contre cet épaississement. De cette manière, dans toutes les positions d'ajustement d'écartement entre les côtés inférieur et supérieur de la gorge 13, la deuxième pièce profilée est parallèle à elle-même.The bottom of the groove 22 and the end opposite the wall of the support wing 10 are in an imaginary plane P₃ (see Figure 1). The difference in height between the bottom of the groove 22 and the bottom of the groove 23 is equivalent to the difference in height between the plane P₁ and the thickness 19. The difference in height between the bottom of the groove 23 and the bottom of the groove 24 is equivalent to the difference in height between the thickening 19 and the underside of the front section 18, against this thickening. In this way, in all the spacing adjustment positions between the lower and upper sides of the groove 13, the second profiled part is parallel to itself.

Ainsi qu'il ressort en particulier de la figure 5, en dehors de rainures 22 à 24, l'aile de support 10 de l'élément d'appui a une forme qui correspond à la face inférieure des sections arrière et avant 17 et 18 de la deuxième pièce profilée 2.As can be seen in particular from FIG. 5, apart from grooves 22 to 24, the support wing 10 of the support element has a shape which corresponds to the underside of the rear and front sections 17 and 18 of the second profiled part 2.

Enfin, il ressort en particulier des figures 3 à 5 que, dans chacune des positions d'ajustement d'écartement prévues, la section avant 18 de la deuxième pièce profilée 2 se trouve à la verticale du bord 27, opposé à la paroi, du côté supérieur de la gorge 13. Ce bord est légèrement incliné sensiblement parallèlement à la section avant 18 et il est situé à une distance D de cette section qui va varier en fonction de la position d'ajustement d'écartement choisie. Avantageusement la face supérieure du bord libre 21 de la deuxième pièce profilée est située dans le même plan que la face supérieure de la section avant 18.Finally, it appears in particular from FIGS. 3 to 5 that, in each of the spacing adjustment positions provided, the front section 18 of the second profiled part 2 is located vertically on the edge 27, opposite the wall, of the upper side of the groove 13. This edge is slightly inclined substantially parallel to the front section 18 and it is located at a distance D from this section which will vary according to the chosen spacing adjustment position. Advantageously, the upper face of the free edge 21 of the second profiled part is located in the same plane as the upper face of the front section 18.

Par ailleurs, dans chacune des positions d'ajustement d'écartement, le bord 27 se trouve à une distance d du plan imaginaire P₂ formé par le bord arrière 26 et le bord libre 21 de la deuxième pièce profilée 2. Cette distance d va elle aussi varier en fonction de la position d'ajustement d'écartement choisie.Furthermore, in each of the spacing adjustment positions, the edge 27 is at a distance d from the imaginary plane P₂ formed by the rear edge 26 and the free edge 21 of the second profiled part 2. This distance d goes it also vary depending on the spacing adjustment position chosen.

Le mode d'emploi du support d'étagère qui vient d'être décrit est le suivant :The instructions for the shelf support which has just been described are as follows:

On fixe sur une paroi la première pièce profilée 1 par vissage de vis à travers les perforations 12 prévues à cet effet dans l'âme 7.The first profiled part 1 is fixed to a wall by screwing screws through the perforations 12 provided for this purpose in the core 7.

Selon l'épaisseur E de la tablette 14 à fixer, on dispose, avant l'insertion de la tablette, la deuxième pièce profilée 2 sur l'élément d'appui formé par la structure inférieure 8 de la première pièce profilée 1, et en particulier sur l'aile de support 10 de celle-ci. On engage le rebord 16 dans la rainure appropriée 22, 23 ou 24.Depending on the thickness E of the shelf 14 to be fixed, there is, before the insertion of the shelf, the second profiled part 2 on the support element formed by the lower structure 8 of the first profiled part 1, and in particular on the support wing 10 thereof. The rim 16 is engaged in the appropriate groove 22, 23 or 24.

Le choix de celle-ci se fait en fonction de l'épaisseur E de la tablette 14. Dans la position d'ajustement d'écartement choisie, il faut que la distance D entre le bord 27 et la section avant 18 soit supérieure à l'épaisseur E de la tablette et que la distance d entre le bord 27 et le plan imaginaire P₂ soit plus petite ou égale à l'épaisseur E. La tablette, inclinée légèrement vers le bas, peut ainsi être introduite dans la gorge 13 sans problème. Son bord avant vient ensuite heurter la section arrière 17 au niveau de l'arête 28. La section arrière 17 va servir alors de rampe ascendante. A un moment donné, surtout si l'épaisseur E est légèrement supérieure à la distance d, l'introduction de la tablette va nécessiter une déformation élastique d'au moins une zone d'au moins un des côtés inférieur et supérieur de la gorge 13.The choice of this is made according to the thickness E of the shelf 14. In the chosen spacing adjustment position, the distance D between the edge 27 and the front section 18 must be greater than l thickness E of the tablet and that the distance d between the edge 27 and the imaginary plane P₂ is less than or equal to the thickness E. The tablet, inclined slightly downwards, can thus be introduced into the groove 13 without problem . Its front edge then strikes the rear section 17 at the edge 28. The rear section 17 will then serve as an ascending ramp. At a given moment, especially if the thickness E is slightly greater than the distance d, the introduction of the tablet will require an elastic deformation of at least one zone of at least one of the lower and upper sides of the groove 13 .

Dans l'exemple de réalisation illustré sur les figures 1 à 5, cette zone est formée par la section d'extrémité 20 de la deuxième pièce profilée 2. En effet, la structure supérieure 3 est conformée de manière triangulaire et donc indéformable et il en est de même de la structure inférieure 8 formant l'élément d'appui de la deuxième pièce profilée 2. Les sections arrière et avant 17 et 18 de cette dernière sont en appui sur l'aile de support 10 de l'élément d'appui et ne se déforment donc pas non plus. Par contre la section d'extrémité 20 est une partie de la deuxième pièce profilée 2 qui est en saillie au-delà de l'élément d'appui, totalement ou partiellement selon les positions d'ajustement d'écartement choisies. Cette section est donc prévue pour pouvoir légèrement fléchir élastiquement vers le bas pendant le coinçage final de la tablette. Par sa force élastique dirigée vers le haut, elle sert également à retenir en place la tablette en position coincée.In the embodiment illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 5, this zone is formed by the end section 20 of the second profiled part 2. In fact, the upper structure 3 is shaped in a triangular manner and therefore undeformable and it is the same of the lower structure 8 forming the support element of the second profiled part 2. The rear and front sections 17 and 18 of the latter are supported on the support wing 10 of the support element and therefore do not deform either. Against by the end section 20 is a part of the second profiled part 2 which projects beyond the support element, totally or partially depending on the spacing adjustment positions chosen. This section is therefore designed to be able to flex slightly elastically downwards during the final wedging of the tablet. By its strength elastic facing upwards, it also serves to hold the tablet in place in the stuck position.

Après l'insertion du bord de tablette dans la gorge, la deuxième pièce profilée 2 est donc intercalée entre une face de la tablette, ici la face inférieure, et l'élément d'appui de la première pièce profilée.After the insertion of the shelf edge into the groove, the second profiled part 2 is therefore interposed between one face of the tablet, here the lower face, and the support element of the first profiled part.

L'exemple de réalisation illustré sur les figures 6 à 8 est très semblable à celui qui vient d'être décrit. L'élément d'appui est ici formé non seulement d'une structure inférieure 8, triangulaire en section transversale, mais aussi d'un prolongement libre 29, vers le haut, de l'aile d'entretoise 11 de cette structure. Ce prolongement peut ainsi participer à la déformation élastique recherchée pour l'introduction de la tablette, simultanément à la section d'extrémité en saillie de la deuxième pièce profilée 2.The exemplary embodiment illustrated in FIGS. 6 to 8 is very similar to that which has just been described. The support element is here formed not only of a lower structure 8, triangular in cross section, but also of a free extension 29, upwards, of the spacer wing 11 of this structure. This extension can thus participate in the elastic deformation sought for the introduction of the tablet, simultaneously with the projecting end section of the second profiled part 2.

Dans l'exemple de réalisation illustré sur les figures 9 et 10, l'élément d'appui est formé non seulement d'une structure inférieure 8, triangulaire en section transversale, mais aussi d'un prolongement 30, vers l'extérieur, de l'aile de support 10 de cette structure. L'élément d'appui comprend ainsi une section indéformable et une section élastiquement déformable. La deuxième pièce profilée 2, de forme très simple, peut être supportée par l'élément d'appui selon deux positions d'ajustement d'écartement différentes. Dans ces deux positions elle est en appui, d'une part, sur l'aile de support 10, c'est-à-dire la section indéformable de l'élément d'appui, et, d'autre part, sur le prolongement 30, c'est-à-dire la section élastiquement déformable de l'élément d'appui. La deuxième pièce profilée forme ainsi la zone à capacité de déformation élastique recherchée.In the embodiment illustrated in FIGS. 9 and 10, the support element is formed not only of a lower structure 8, triangular in cross section, but also of an extension 30, outwards, of the support wing 10 of this structure. The support element thus comprises a non-deformable section and an elastically deformable section. The second profiled part 2, of very simple shape, can be supported by the support element according to two different spacing adjustment positions. In these two positions it is supported, on the one hand, on the support wing 10, that is to say the non-deformable section of the support element, and, on the other hand, on the extension 30, that is to say the elastically deformable section of the support element. The second profiled part thus forms the zone with the desired elastic deformation capacity.

Dans cet exemple de réalisation, si la tablette est trop épaisse pour la position représentée sur la figure 10, on peut alors supprimer purement et simplement la deuxième pièce profilée et utiliser la première pièce profilée, comme seul élément du support.In this exemplary embodiment, if the tablet is too thick for the position shown in FIG. 10, it is then possible to simply delete the second profiled part and use the first profiled part, as the only element of the support.

Dans l'exemple de réalisation suivant la figure 11, l'élément d'appui, formé par la structure inférieure de section triangulaire 8, et la deuxième pièce profilée 2 sont prévus indéformables. La zone à capacité de déformation élastique de la gorge 13 est ici formée par une structure supérieure 31 à section transversale en forme de V ouvert vers la paroi. Cette structure ne comporte qu'une aile de base 32, formant le côté supérieur de la gorge 13, et une aile oblique 33, s'étendant en oblique vers le haut et vers la paroi depuis l'extrémité, opposée à la paroi, de l'aile de base 32. Lors de l'introduction de la tablette, l'aile de base 32 peut être légèrement fléchie vers le haut.In the embodiment according to FIG. 11, the support element, formed by the lower structure of triangular section 8, and the second profiled part 2 are provided to be non-deformable. The area with elastic deformation capacity of the groove 13 is here formed by an upper structure 31 with a V-shaped cross section open towards the wall. This structure comprises only a base wing 32, forming the upper side of the groove 13, and an oblique wing 33, extending obliquely upwards and towards the wall from the end, opposite the wall, of the base wing 32. When the tablet is inserted, the base wing 32 can be slightly bent upwards.

Il doit être entendu que la présente invention n'est en aucune façon limitée aux formes de réalisation décrites ci-dessus et que bien des modifications peuvent y être apportées sans sortir de son cadre, défini par les revendications.It should be understood that the present invention is in no way limited to the embodiments described above and that many modifications can be made thereto without departing from its scope, defined by the claims.

On peut par exemple prévoir que l'élément d'appui soit formé par la structure supérieure de la première pièce profilée, par exemple la structure 3 sur la figure 1 ou la structure 31 sur la figure 11. Dans ce cas, après l'insertion du bord de tablette dans la gorge, la deuxième pièce profilée sera intercalée entre la face supérieure de la tablette et l'aile de base 5 ou respectivement 32, de la structure supérieure de la première pièce profilée. Les moyens d'ajustement d'écartement seront alors prévus en haut de la gorge 13.One can for example provide that the support element is formed by the upper structure of the first profiled part, for example the structure 3 in Figure 1 or the structure 31 in Figure 11. In this case, after insertion from the edge of the shelf in the groove, the second profiled part will be interposed between the upper face of the tablet and the base wing 5 or respectively 32, of the upper structure of the first profiled piece. The spacing adjustment means will then be provided at the top of the groove 13.

On peut aussi envisager diverses combinaisons des particularités de chacune des formes de réalisation décrites.One can also envisage various combinations of the features of each of the embodiments described.

On peut aussi prévoir une première pièce profilée sous la forme d'une pièce allongée dont la longueur sera tronçonnée en fonction de la longueur du bord de tablette à supporter. On pourrait prévoir, non pas une deuxième pièce profilée de même longueur, mais une deuxième pièce profilée courte et une ou plusieurs pièces profilées supplémentaires identiques à celle-ci.It is also possible to provide a first profiled part in the form of an elongated part, the length of which will be cut off as a function of the length of the edge of the shelf to be supported. One could provide, not a second profiled part of the same length, but a second short profiled part and one or more additional profiled parts identical to this one.

On peut aussi imaginer de relier mutuellement de manière courante les pièces détachées, de façon à les rendre imperdables, tout en leur conservant une large mobilité permettant l'ajustement d'écartement décrit.It is also possible to imagine connecting the loose parts to each other in a current manner, so as to make them captive, while retaining a wide mobility allowing the described spacing adjustment.
