La figure 1 représente un dispositif à câbles permettant l'accrochage de plusieurs tablettes P1 dans des positions superposées. Il comprend deux premiers câbles C11 dont l'extrémité supérieure est ancrée dans un mur vertical M au moyen de pièces d'ancrage AM et dont l'extrémité inférieure est ancrée au sol S au moyen de pièces d'ancrage AS. A un niveau compris entre celui des pièces d'ancrage AM et celui des tablettes P1, les câbles C11 s'appuient aux extrémités libres de barres ou entretoises E fixées au mur par leurs extrémités opposées et s'étendant sensiblement perpendiculairement au mur. Chaque premier câble C11 s'étend verticalement entre sa zone d'appui sur l'extrémité de l'entretoise correspondante et la pièce d'ancrage AS, et obliquement, selon un angle par rapport à la verticale qui n'excède pas 45°, entre cette zone d'appui et la pièce d'ancrage AM.Figure 1 shows a cable device allowing the attachment of several shelves P1 in superimposed positions. It comprises two first cables C11, the upper end of which is anchored in a vertical wall M by means of anchoring parts AM and the lower end of which is anchored to the ground S by means of anchoring parts AS. At a level between that of the anchoring pieces AM and that of the shelves P1, the cables C11 are supported at the free ends of bars or spacers E fixed to the wall by their opposite ends and extending substantially perpendicular to the wall. Each first cable C11 extends vertically between its bearing area on the end of the corresponding spacer and the anchoring piece AS, and obliquely, at an angle to the vertical which does not exceed 45 °, between this support area and the AM anchor.
Deux seconds câbles C21 s'étendent verticalement vers le bas à partir des deux entretoises E respectivement, entre le mur et la zone d'appui des premiers câbles C11, jusqu'au sol où leur extrémité inférieure est ancrée au moyen de pièces d'ancrage AS identiques à celles des premiers câbles C11.Two second cables C21 extend vertically downwards from the two spacers E respectively, between the wall and the bearing area of the first cables C11, to the ground where their lower end is anchored by means of anchoring pieces AS identical to those of the first C11 cables.
Les câbles C11 et C21 sont tendus au moyen de ressorts intégrés aux pièces d'ancrage AS, lesquelles peuvent être telles que décrites dans FR-A-2 272 627.The cables C11 and C21 are tensioned by means of springs integrated into the anchoring parts AS, which can be as described in FR-A-2 272 627.
Chaque paire de câbles C11-C21 est située dans un plan vertical perpendiculaire au mur M, les deux plans contenant respectivement les deux paires de câbles étant espacés dans la direction longitudinale du mur d'une distance correspondant sensiblement à la longueur des tablettes P1. Chaque tablette est fixée à chacune de ses extrémités par deux pièces d'accrochage QP montées de façon amovible et réglable sur les câbles C11 et C21 respectivement. Dans l'exemple illustré, les pièces QP sont telles que décrites dans FR-A-2 627 241 en relation avec la figure 4 de ce document. Bien entendu, d'autres types de pièces d'accrochage peuvent être utilisés en fonction de l'épaisseur et de la matière des tablettes.Each pair of cables C11-C21 is situated in a vertical plane perpendicular to the wall M, the two planes respectively containing the two pairs of cables being spaced in the longitudinal direction of the wall by a distance corresponding substantially to the length of the shelves P1. Each shelf is fixed at each of its ends by two hanging pieces QP removably and adjustable mounted on cables C11 and C21 respectively. In the example illustrated, the parts QP are as described in FR-A-2 627 241 in relation to FIG. 4 of this document. Of course, other types of attachment pieces can be used depending on the thickness and the material of the shelves.
La figure 2 illustre un dispositif sur lequel sont accrochés une tablette P1 semblable à celles de la figure 1 et un caisson R1 présentant sur sa face avant des portes pivotantes 1. Ce dispositif comprend deux premiers câbles C12 dont les extrémités supérieures sont ancrées au mur M au moyen de pièces d'ancrage AM semblables à celles de la figure 1, et s'appuyant sur des entretoises supérieures E également semblables à celles de la figure 1. Les extrémités inférieures des câbles C12, contrairement à celles des câbles C11 de la figure 1, sont également ancrées au mur au moyen de pièces d'ancrage AM semblables aux précédentes, et ces câbles s'appuient, à un niveau intermédiaire entre les objets accrochés P1 et R1 d'une part, et les pièces d'ancrage inférieures AM d'autre part, sur les extrémités libres d'entretoises inférieures E semblables aux précédentes. Chaque câble C12 s'étend verticalement entre les extrémités des entretoises supérieure et inférieure, et obliquement, selon des angles par rapport à la verticale ne dépassant pas 45°, entre les entretoises et les pièces d'ancrage correspondantes.FIG. 2 illustrates a device on which are hung a shelf P1 similar to those of FIG. 1 and a box R1 having on its front face pivoting doors 1. This device comprises two first cables C12 whose upper ends are anchored to the wall M by means of anchoring pieces AM similar to those of FIG. 1, and resting on upper spacers E also similar to those of FIG. 1. The lower ends of the cables C12, unlike those of the cables C11 of the figure 1, are also anchored to the wall by means of AM anchoring pieces similar to the preceding ones, and these cables are supported, at an intermediate level between the objects hooked P1 and R1 on the one hand, and the lower anchoring pieces AM on the other hand, on the free ends of lower spacers E similar to the previous ones. Each cable C12 extends vertically between the ends of the upper and lower spacers, and obliquely, at angles to the vertical not exceeding 45 °, between the spacers and the corresponding anchoring parts.
A chacun des deux premiers câbles C12 est associé un second câble C22 tendu verticalement entre les entretoises supérieure et inférieure E, auxquelles il est lié en des points intermédiaires entre le mur et la zone d'appui du premier câble.Each of the first two cables C12 is associated with a second cable C22 stretched vertically between the upper and lower spacers E, to which it is linked at intermediate points between the wall and the bearing area of the first cable.
La tension de chacun des câbles C12 et C22 est assurée par un tendeur TC. Les tendeurs des câbles C22 sont interposés entre les objets P1 et R1 d'une part, et l'entretoise inférieure d'autre part. Ceux des câbles C12 sont interposés, dans l'exemple illustré, entre l'entretoise inférieure et la pièce d'ancrage inférieure. Ils pourraient l'être également entre les objets accrochés et l'entretoise inférieure.The tension of each of the cables C12 and C22 is provided by a tensioner TC. The cable tensioners C22 are interposed between objects P1 and R1 on the one hand, and the lower spacer on the other hand. Those of the cables C12 are interposed, in the example illustrated, between the lower spacer and the lower anchoring part. They could also be between the hanging objects and the lower spacer.
La tablette P1 est disposée par rapport aux câbles de la même façon que celles de la figure 1, et y est accrochée par des pièces QP également semblables à celles de la figure 1. Les deux paires de câbles C12-C22 passent en regard des deux faces extrêmes du caisson R1 respectivement. Ce dernier est lié à chacun des quatre câbles, de façon amovible et réglable, par deux pièces d'accrochage QR, superposées dans la direction du câble, qui sont telles que décrites dans FR-A-2 272 627 en relation avec les figures 4 à 6 de ce document, et qui reçoivent dans leur trou borgne un téton cylindrique faisant saillie sur la face extrême du caisson.The shelf P1 is arranged with respect to the cables in the same way as those of FIG. 1, and is hung thereon by pieces QP also similar to those of FIG. 1. The two pairs of cables C12-C22 pass opposite the two end faces of the box R1 respectively. The latter is linked to each of the four cables, in a removable and adjustable manner, by two QR hooking pieces, superimposed in the direction of the cable, which are as described in FR-A-2 272 627 in relation to FIGS. 4 to 6 of this document, and which receive in their blind hole a cylindrical stud projecting from the end face of the box.
La figure 3 représente un dispositif mixte comprenant à la fois des câbles à ancrage inférieur au sol et des câbles à ancrage inférieur au mur. On y voit de gauche à droite deux paires de câbles C12-C22 semblables à celles de la figure 2, avec leurs pièces d'ancrage supérieures et inférieures au mur et leurs entretoises supérieures et inférieures, puis deux paires de câbles C11-C21 semblables à celles de la figure 1, avec leurs pièces d'ancrage au mur M et entretoises supérieures et leurs pièces d'ancrage inférieures au sol S, et enfin de nouveau une paire de câbles C12-C22 semblable à celles de la figure 2. Entre deux paires de câbles consécutives est montée à chaque fois une série de tablettes P1 superposées, de la façon décrite plus haut. En outre, un caisson R2 muni de tiroirs 2 est monté entre les deux paires de câbles C11-C21, de la manière décrite ci-dessus à propos du caisson R1.FIG. 3 represents a mixed device comprising both cables with lower anchoring to the ground and cables with lower anchoring to the wall. We see from left to right two pairs of cables C12-C22 similar to those in Figure 2, with their upper and lower anchors to the wall and their upper and lower spacers, then two pairs of cables C11-C21 similar to those of Figure 1, with their wall anchors M and upper spacers and their lower ground anchors S, and finally again a pair of cables C12-C22 similar to those of Figure 2. Between two pairs of consecutive cables are mounted each time a series of superimposed shelves P1, as described above. In addition, a box R2 provided with
La figure 4 montre une pièce d'ancrage murale AM et l'extrémité supérieure du câble C11 ou C12 qui y est fixée. La pièce d'ancrage comprend une douille intérieure 3 filetée extérieurement, présentant une paroi d'extrémité 4 percée, appliquée contre le mur M par la tête d'une vis 5 traversant le perçage de la paroi 4 et vissée dans le mur. Sur le filetage externe de la douille 3 est vissée une douille extérieure 6 filetée intérieurement, dont une extrémité ouverte 7 s'appuie contre le mur tandis que son extrémité opposée est partiellement fermée par une paroi 8 retenant prisonnière une rotule 9. Le câble traverse un alésage 10 de diamètre variable ménagé dans la rotule 9, qui retient l'extrémité renflée 11 du câble. La rotule 9 s'oriente en fonction de la direction du câble au voisinage de la pièce d'ancrage, et évite que celui-ci soit soumis à des efforts latéraux.Figure 4 shows an AM wall anchor and the upper end of the cable C11 or C12 attached to it. The anchoring piece comprises an
Comme montré à la figure 5, chaque entretoise E est fixée au mur M par l'intermédiaire d'une embase 12 elle-même appliquée contre le mur par une vis 13 vissée dans celui-ci. L'embase présente un trou fileté 14 débouchant dans sa face tournée à l'opposé du mur, et prolongé jusqu'à sa face en contact avec le mur par un trou de plus faible diamètre logeant la tête de la vis. A son extrémité tournée vers le mur, l'entretoise E présente une partie filetée extérieurement 15 qui coopère avec le filetage du trou 14, et qui se raccorde à un épaulement 16 venant en butée contre l'embase. A l'opposé de cette partie 15, l'entretoise est fendue selon un plan vertical perpendiculaire au mur, à partir de sa face d'extrémité 17 et jusqu'à une certaine distance de celle-ci. Un trou fileté 18 est également ménagé à partir de la face 17, sur une profondeur égale à celle de la fente, et une vis sans tête 19, vissée dans le trou 18, applique le câble C11 ou C12, engagé dans la fente, contre le fond de celle-ci. L'immobilisation longitudinale du câble par rapport à l'entretoise, réalisée par la vis 19, permet de parfaire l'horizontalité de l'entretoise lorsque le mur n'est pas parfaitement plan et vertical.As shown in Figure 5, each spacer E is fixed to the wall M by means of a
L'extrémité renflée du câble C21 ou C22 est engagée dans un alésage 20 de diamètre variable ménagé verticalement dans l'entretoise, et retenu par un épaulement de celui-ci.The bulged end of the cable C21 or C22 is engaged in a
Les figures 4 et 5 qui viennent d'être décrites concernent indifféremment les pièces d'ancrage au mur et les entretoises supérieures et inférieures.Figures 4 and 5 which have just been described relate equally to the wall anchoring parts and the upper and lower spacers.
La figure 6 illustre partiellement un premier élément allongé sous forme de tige et une entretoise correspondante.FIG. 6 partially illustrates a first elongated element in the form of a rod and a corresponding spacer.
La tige T1 est formée d'éléments rigides rectilignes 31 et d'éléments flexibles 38, propres à être assemblés indifféremment à la suite les uns des autres. Chaque élément 31 comprend un corps cylindrique allongé 32 présentant à l'une de ses extrémités un trou borgne axial fileté 33 et prolongé à son extrémité opposée par un téton axial fileté 34. Chaque élément flexible 32 comprend un ressort hélicoïdal 35 à une extrémité duquel une cheville cylindrique filetée 36 est vissée intérieurement par coopération avec les spires du ressort de façon à faire saillie au-delà de celui-ci. Une gaine souple tubulaire 37, par exemple en matière plastique thermorétractable, est emmanchée sur le ressort 35. De préférence, le diamètre extérieur de la gaine 37 est égal à celui du corps 32 des éléments rigides 31, et elle présente un aspect de surface semblable à celui de ce même corps.The rod T1 is formed of rigid

L'extrémité supérieure de la tige T1 de la figure 6 est formée par un élément flexible 38 dont la cheville 36 est vissée dans une pièce d'ancrage 39 fixée au mur M, l'axe de la cheville 36 étant orienté perpendiculairement au mur et par conséquent horizontalement. La pièce d'ancrage 39 peut être semblable à la pièce d'ancrage au plafond décrite dans FR-A-2 407 691. L'élément flexible terminal est suivi par un ou plusieurs éléments rigides 31 qui s'étendent obliquement vers le bas, le ressort 35 de l'élément terminal étant fléchi élastiquement pour prendre une configuration incurvée pour raccorder la direction horizontale de l'axe de la cheville 36 à la direction oblique des éléments 31.The upper end of the rod T1 of FIG. 6 is formed by a
Un second élément flexible 38 raccorde le ou les éléments rigides obliques à un autre élément rigide 31 orienté verticalement et s'engageant dans une entaille verticale terminale d'une entretoise 40. A son extrémité libre, cette entretoise présente une saillie 41 filetée extérieurement, s'étendant au-delà de la tige, et propre à recevoir un chapeau non représenté fileté intérieurement, pour appuyer l'élément de tige contre le fond de l'entaille et l'immobiliser par rapport à l'entretoise, comme décrit dans FR-A-2 423 186. L'extrémité opposée de l'entretoise, non représentée, est fixée au mur M, par exemple de la façon décrite ci-dessus pour les entretoises E.A second
L'élément de tige rigide ainsi fixé à l'entretoise peut être prolongé vers le bas par d'autres éléments rigides, la région verticale ainsi formée recevant des pièces d'accrochage qui peuvent être telles que décrites dans FR-A-2 423 186 ou dans FR-A-2 627 241 par exemple. Cette région verticale peut se prolonger jusqu'à une pièce d'ancrage au sol telle que celle décrite dans FR-A-2 407 691, qui comporte un ressort de tension. Alternativement, la tige peut s'appuyer sur une entretoise inférieure, puis s'étendre obliquement entre celle-ci et une pièce d'ancrage inférieure au mur semblable à la pièce 39, les changements de direction étant assurés par des éléments flexibles comme à la partie supérieure. Dans ce cas, il convient d'interposer entre deux éléments de tige un tendeur à ressort pouvant coopérer avec l'un de ces éléments de la façon décrite dans FR-A-2 407 691 à propos de la pièce d'ancrage au sol, le téton 34 ou la cheville 36 de l'autre élément pouvant être vissé dans le corps du tendeur.The rigid rod element thus fixed to the spacer can be extended downwards by other rigid elements, the vertical region thus formed receiving hooking parts which can be as described in FR-A-2 423 186 or in FR-A-2 627 241 for example. This vertical region can extend to a ground anchoring piece such as that described in FR-A-2 407 691, which includes a tension spring. Alternatively, the rod can rest on a lower spacer, then extend obliquely between it and an anchor piece below the wall similar to
Une seconde tige non représentée, formée d'un ou plusieurs éléments rigides tels que 31, est vissée par un téton terminal supérieur 36 dans un trou fileté de l'entretoise 40. L'extrémité inférieure de la seconde tige peut être ancrée au sol de la même façon que celle de la première tige, ou fixée à l'entretoise inférieure par vissage d'un trou fileté terminal 33 sur un téton fileté présenté par l'entretoise, ou par coopération d'une cheville telle que 36 avec ce même trou fileté 33 et avec le trou fileté de l'entretoise inférieure, qui est alors identique à l'entretoise supérieure 40.A second rod, not shown, formed of one or more rigid elements such as 31, is screwed by an upper
