Description

L'invention concerne un procédé de fabrication d'un encadrement, un profilé d'encadrement et un encadrement.The invention relates to a method of manufacturing a frame, a frame profile and a frame.

On connaît de nombreux dispositifs et procédés d'encadrement réalisés à partir de profilés. Ils sont souvent destinés à la fixation d'un élément plan sur une paroi.There are many devices and methods of framing produced from profiles. They are often intended for fixing a planar element on a wall.

L'invention concerne plus particulièrement la réalisation d'encadrements de vitres, de hublots ou de cloisons dans lesquels la vitre ou la cloison sont susceptibles d'être soumises à des forces de pression relativement importantes auxquelles l'encadrement doit résister.The invention relates more particularly to the production of window frames, portholes or partitions in which the window or the partition are liable to be subjected to relatively large pressure forces which the frame must withstand.

A cet effet, on connaît des encadrements qui comportent une armature, un élément plan et un joint, l'armature portant l'élément plan, le joint assurant l'étanchéité entre l'armature et l'élément plan.To this end, frames are known which include a frame, a planar element and a seal, the frame carrying the planar element, the seal ensuring the seal between the frame and the planar element.

Il est connu que l'on peut, à cet effet, utiliser des éléments de profilé présentant une surface intérieure en forme de "U" destinée à recevoir le bord de l'élément plan.It is known that one can, for this purpose, use profile elements having an inner surface in the shape of a "U" intended to receive the edge of the planar element.

Après avoir placé les éléments de profilé autour de l'élément plan, le joint est introduit sous forme liquide entre le profilé et l'élément plan ; après séchage ou polymérisation, le joint assure le collage des éléments de profilé et leur étanchéité avec l'élément plan.After placing the profile elements around the planar element, the seal is introduced in liquid form between the profile and the planar element; after drying or polymerization, the joint ensures the bonding of the profile elements and their tightness with the planar element.

Dans la pratique industrielle, ce procédé de fabrication, qui paraît simple, présente de nombreuses difficultés de mise en oeuvre.In industrial practice, this manufacturing process, which seems simple, presents many implementation difficulties.

Tout d'abord, pendant la période de séchage, il est nécessaire que les éléments de profilé soit fortement appliqués entre eux et contre la surface plane. Compte-tenu du temps nécessaire au séchage ou à la polymérisation du joint, cette étape nécessite la mobilisation d'équipements spécifiques et d'un espace important. C'est donc une étape contraignante et relativement coûteuse.First of all, during the drying period, it is necessary that the profile elements be strongly applied to each other and against the flat surface. Given the time required for drying or polymerization of the joint, this step requires the mobilization of specific equipment and a large space. It is therefore a restrictive and relatively expensive step.

Par ailleurs, la quantité de liquide destinée à la formation de joint qui doit être introduite est parfois difficile à maîtriser. Une quantité insuffisante conduit bien entendu à un joint de mauvaise qualité, soit peu résistant, soit même présentant des discontinuités, une quantité trop importante produisant des débordements. Le liquide en excès est difficile à nettoyer et, compte-tenu du coût relativement élevé des colles ou joints utilisés, il entraîne un gaspillage.In addition, the quantity of liquid intended for the formation of joint which must be introduced is sometimes difficult to control. An insufficient quantity naturally leads to a poor quality seal, either weak or even having discontinuities, too large a quantity producing overflows. The excess liquid is difficult to clean and, given the relatively high cost of the adhesives or seals used, it results in waste.

Le but de la présente invention est donc un procédé de fabrication d'un encadrement de profilé, le profilé nécessaire à la réalisation de cet encadrement et l'encadrement obtenu, qui évitent les inconvénients mentionnés plus haut.The object of the present invention is therefore a method of manufacturing a profile frame, the profile necessary for the realization of this frame and the frame obtained, which avoid the drawbacks mentioned above.

A cet effet, l'invention concerne un procédé de fabrication d'un encadrement comportant une armature, un élément plan et un joint principal, l'armature portant l'élément plan, l'armature étant réalisée avec des éléments de profilé présentant une surface intérieure en forme de "U" destinée à recevoir le bord de l'élément plan, ladite surface intérieure comportant deux flancs approximativement plans et parallèles et un fond dans lequel :

  • les éléments de profilé sont mis en place autour de l'élément plan ;
  • les éléments de profilé sont fixés entre eux ;
  • un joint principal est introduit sous forme liquide dans la surface intérieure.
To this end, the invention relates to a method of manufacturing a frame comprising a frame, a planar element and a main joint, the frame carrying the planar element, the frame being produced with profile elements having a surface. "U" shaped interior intended to receive the edge of the planar element, said inner surface comprising two approximately flat and parallel sides and a bottom in which:
  • the profile elements are placed around the planar element;
  • the profile elements are fixed together;
  • a main seal is introduced in liquid form into the interior surface.

Selon l'invention, avant l'introduction du joint principal, la surface intérieure est fermée par interposition de joints de flancs entre les flancs de la surface intérieure et l'élément plan.According to the invention, before the introduction of the main seal, the interior surface is closed by interposition of side seals between the sides of the interior surface and the planar element.

L'invention concerne également un profilé adapté à la mise en oeuvre du procédé de fabrication mentionné plus haut. Ce profilé, destiné à la réalisation d'un encadrement d'un élément plan, comporte une surface intérieure en forme de "U" destinée à recevoir le bord de l'élément plan. La dite surface intérieure comporte deux flancs approximativement plans et parallèles et un fond.The invention also relates to a profile adapted to the implementation of the manufacturing process mentioned above. This profile, intended for the realization of a framing of a planar element, comprises an interior surface in the shape of "U" intended to receive the edge of the planar element. Said interior surface has two approximately planar and parallel sides and a bottom.

Selon l'invention, le profilé comporte des rainures de flancs parallèles à sa direction principale destinées à recevoir des joints de flancs, une rainure principale parallèle à sa direction principale destinée à assurer la fixation de plusieurs éléments de profilé les uns avec les autres et une ou plusieurs ouvertures de petites dimensions mettant en communication la surface intérieure avec l'extérieur et permettant l'introduction d'un joint à l'état liquide dans la surface intérieure.According to the invention, the profile comprises sidewall grooves parallel to its main direction intended to receive sidewall joints, a main groove parallel to its main direction intended to ensure the fixing of several profile elements with each other and a or several openings of small dimensions placing the interior surface in communication with the exterior and allowing the introduction of a seal in the liquid state into the interior surface.

L'invention concerne également l'encadrement qui peut être obtenu par le procédé de fabrication indiqué plus haut. Cet encadrement comporte une armature, un élément plan et un joint principal, l'armature portant l'élément plan, le joint principal assurant l'étanchéité entre l'armature et l'élément plan, l'armature étant réalisée avec des éléments de profilé, ledit profilé présentant une surface intérieure en forme de "U" destinée à recevoir le bord de l'élément plan, ladite surface intérieure comportant deux flancs approximativement plans et parallèles et un fond.The invention also relates to the frame which can be obtained by the manufacturing process indicated above. This frame comprises a frame, a planar element and a main joint, the frame carrying the planar element, the main joint ensuring the seal between the frame and the planar element, the frame being produced with profile elements. , said profile having an inner surface in the shape of a "U" intended to receive the edge of the planar element, said inner surface comprising two approximately planar and parallel sides and a bottom.

Selon l'invention, chacun des deux flancs porte un joint de flanc parallèle à la direction du profilé, en contact avec l'élément plan et susceptible d'éviter l'écoulement d'un liquide du fond de la surface intérieure vers l'extérieur.According to the invention, each of the two flanks carries a flank joint parallel to the direction of the profile, in contact with the planar element and capable of preventing the flow of a liquid from the bottom of the interior surface to the exterior. .

Selon un mode de réalisation préféré, les joints de flancs sont des joints à lèvre dont la lèvre est orientée vers le fond de la surface intérieure.According to a preferred embodiment, the side seals are lip seals whose lip is oriented towards the bottom of the interior surface.

L'invention sera décrite plus en détail en référence aux dessins annexés dans lesquels :

  • La figure 1 est une vue en coupe partielle d'un encadrement selon l'invention.
  • La figure 2 est une vue arrière de l'encadrement selon l'invention.
  • Les figures 3A, 3B, 3C sont trois vues en coupe partielle de l'encadrement selon l'invention.
  • La figure 4 représente un joint de flanc.
The invention will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
  • Figure 1 is a partial sectional view of a frame according to the invention.
  • Figure 2 is a rear view of the frame according to the invention.
  • Figures 3A, 3B, 3C are three views in partial section of the frame according to the invention.
  • Figure 4 shows a sidewall joint.

L'encadrement comporte une armature 1, un élément plan 2 et un joint 3. L'armature 1 porte l'élément plan 2. Le joint 3 qui assure sur le produit fini l'étanchéité entre l'armature 1 et l'élément plan 2 est désigné par la suite sous le nom de "joint principal 3".The frame comprises a frame 1, a flat element 2 and a seal 3. The frame 1 carries the planar element 2. The seal 3 which provides the seal between the frame 1 and the planar element on the finished product 2 is hereinafter referred to as "main joint 3".

De manière générale, l'armature 1 est elle-même fixée sur une paroi ou cloison 40. A cet effet, l'armature 1 est réalisée avec un profilé ou éléments de profilé 4 placés tout autour de l'élément 2. Le profilé 4 est muni d'un épaulement support 41 qui coopère avec un contre-profilé 42. L'encadrement est fixé sur la paroi 40 par coincement de celle-ci entre l'épaulement support 41 et le contre-profilé 42. A cet effet, des vis 43 assurent le serrage du contre-profilé 42 sur le profilé 4.Generally, the frame 1 is itself fixed to a wall or partition 40. For this purpose, the frame 1 is made with a profile or profile elements 4 placed all around the element 2. The profile 4 is provided with a support shoulder 41 which cooperates with a counter-section 42. The frame is fixed to the wall 40 by wedging it between the support shoulder 41 and the counter-section 42. For this purpose, screws 43 tighten the counter-profile 42 on the profile 4.

Ce mode de réalisation de la fixation de l'encadrement sur la paroi 40 est préféré mais peut être remplacé par de nombreux autres modes de fixation (fixation par vis, collage, etc... ).This embodiment of the fixing of the frame to the wall 40 is preferred but can be replaced by many other fixing methods (fixing by screws, gluing, etc.).

Le profilé 4 comporte une gorge ou surface intérieure 5 en forme de "U" destinée à recevoir le bord de l'élément plan 2. Cette surface intérieure 5 comporte deux flancs 6 et 7 approximativement parallèles et un fond 8.The profile 4 has an internal groove or surface 5 in the shape of a "U" intended to receive the edge of the planar element 2. This internal surface 5 has two approximately parallel sides 6 and 7 and a bottom 8.

Selon une caractéristique importante de l'invention, les flancs 6 et 7 de la surface intérieure 5 portent des joints 9 et 10 dits "joints de flancs". Comme nous le verrons plus loin, ces joints ont pour seule fonction d'assurer la fermeture de la cavité formée par la surface intérieure 5 lorsque les éléments de profilé 4 sont assemblés sur le bord de l'élément plan 2 à encadrer.According to an important characteristic of the invention, the sides 6 and 7 of the interior surface 5 carry seals 9 and 10 called "side seals". As we will see later, these seals have the sole function of ensuring the closure of the cavity formed by the inner surface 5 when the profile elements 4 are assembled on the edge of the planar element 2 to be framed.

Les joints 9 et 10 n'ont donc pas pour rôle d'assurer l'étanchéité sur le produit fini, cette étanchéité étant réalisée par le joint principal 3. Cela a des conséquences importantes sur la nature des joints qui peuvent être utilisés comme joints 9 et 10. En effet, ces joints ayant une fonction pendant une durée très brève, leur vieillissement importe peu. De plus, ils remplissent leur fonction pendant la phase de fabrication à un moment où les positions relatives des éléments de profilé 4 et de l'élément plan 2 sont stables. Pendant que les joints 9 et 10 remplissent leur fonction, l'élément plan 2 et les éléments de profilé 4 ne subissent ni vibration ni force de pression extérieure forte, etc...The seals 9 and 10 therefore do not have the role of ensuring the seal on the finished product, this seal being produced by the main seal 3. This has important consequences on the nature of the seals which can be used as seals 9 and 10. In fact, since these seals have a function for a very short time, their aging does not matter. In addition, they fulfill their function during the manufacturing phase at a time when the relative positions of the profile elements 4 and the planar element 2 are stable. While the seals 9 and 10 fulfill their function, the flat element 2 and the profile elements 4 do not undergo any vibration or strong external pressure force, etc.

Dans un mode de réalisation préféré, les joints de flancs 9 et 10 sont des joints à lèvre 11 et 12. Ces lèvres venant au contact des faces respectives de l'élément plan 2 sont orientées vers le fond 8 de la surface intérieure 5. Les éléments de profilé 4 comportent des rainures de flancs 13, 14 sur les flancs 6, 7 destinées à porter le corps des joints 9, 10.In a preferred embodiment, the side seals 9 and 10 are lip seals 11 and 12. These lips coming into contact with the respective faces of the planar element 2 are oriented towards the bottom 8 of the interior surface 5. The profile elements 4 have flank grooves 13, 14 on the flanks 6, 7 intended to carry the body of the seals 9, 10.

La figure 4 représente la section d'un joint utilisable comme joint de flanc. Il comporte un corps 32 et une lèvre 31. De préférence, ce joint est réalisé dans une matière polymérisable, par exemple du polychlorure de vinyle - PVC, et son corps 32 est relativement rigide alors que sa lèvre 31 est souple. La rigidité du corps 32 permet l'engagement aisé du corps du joint dans la gorge 13, 14 destinée à le recevoir et la souplesse de la lèvre 31 lui permet d'assurer un bon contact avec l'une des faces de l'élément plan 2. Un tel joint de flanc peut être réalisé par extrusion et de manière connue, le dosage de la quantité de plastifiant permet de maîtriser la rigidité de ces différentes zones.Figure 4 shows the section of a joint usable as a side joint. It has a body 32 and a lip 31. Preferably, this seal is made of a polymerizable material, for example polyvinyl chloride - PVC, and its body 32 is relatively rigid while its lip 31 is flexible. The rigidity of the body 32 allows easy engagement of the body of the seal in the groove 13, 14 intended to receive it and the flexibility of the lip 31 allows it to ensure good contact with one of the faces of the planar element. 2. Such a flank joint can be produced by extrusion and in known manner, the dosage of the amount of plasticizer makes it possible to control the rigidity of these different zones.

Les éléments de profilé 4 comportent de petites ouvertures 15-18 mettant en contact la surface intérieure 5 avec l'extérieur. Ces ouvertures sont destinées à permettre l'introduction du joint principal 3 à l'état liquide dans la surface intérieure 5. La dimension de ces ouvertures 15-18 est adaptée au type de joint 3 utilisé de manière à permettre son introduction rapide dans la gorge 13, 14 et son écoulement tout autour de l'encadrement tout en évitant de fragiliser les éléments de profilé 4 ou de risquer l'écoulement vers l'extérieur du joint encore liquide après son introduction dans la surface intérieure 5.The profile elements 4 have small openings 15-18 bringing the interior surface 5 into contact with the exterior. These openings are intended to allow the introduction of the main seal 3 in the liquid state into the interior surface 5. The size of these openings 15-18 is adapted to the type of seal 3 used so as to allow its rapid introduction into the groove 13, 14 and its flow all around the frame while avoiding weakening the profile elements 4 or risking the flow towards the outside of the still liquid seal after its introduction into the interior surface 5.

Les différents produits connus et habituellement utilisés pour le collage et la réalisation de joints dans les encadrements de vitres ou de cloisons peuvent être utilisés ici. De préférence, on utilisera un silicone peu visqueux mélangé à un catalyseur.The various products known and usually used for bonding and making joints in window frames or partitions can be used here. Preferably, a low-viscosity silicone mixed with a catalyst will be used.

De manière connue, après introduction dans la surface intérieure 5, ce mélange polymérise et acquiert ses propriétés définitives qui lui permettent d'assurer le collage et l'étanchéité de la jonction entre l'élément plan 2 et les éléments de profilé 4.In a known manner, after introduction into the interior surface 5, this mixture polymerizes and acquires its final properties which allow it to ensure the bonding and sealing of the junction between the planar element 2 and the profile elements 4.

De manière préférée, le profilé 4 comporte une rainure principale 19 parallèle à sa direction principale qui permet de relier les éléments de profilé 4 lorsqu'ils sont mis en place autour de l'élément plan 2 avant l'introduction du joint 3 dans la surface intérieure 5.Preferably, the profile 4 has a main groove 19 parallel to its main direction which makes it possible to connect the profile elements 4 when they are placed around the planar element 2 before the introduction of the seal 3 into the surface interior 5.

On appelle "direction principale" du profilé, la direction perpendiculaire à sa section droite.The main direction of the profile is called the direction perpendicular to its cross section.

Une ou plusieurs plaques 20-23, placées chacune dans la rainure principale 19 de deux éléments de profilé 4, assurent la liaison entre les éléments de profilé. Ces plaques 20-23 sont fréquemment placées aux angles de l'encadrement. Elles sont alors en forme de cornières présentant l'angle voulu. Ces plaques sont fixées par collage à l'intérieur de la rainure 19.One or more plates 20-23, each placed in the main groove 19 of two profile elements 4, provide the connection between the profile elements. These plates 20-23 are frequently placed at the corners of the frame. They are then in the form of angles presenting the desired angle. These plates are fixed by gluing inside the groove 19.

A cet effet, une colle à polymérisation rapide telle que celle commercialisée sous la marque "ARALDYTE" peut être utilisée.For this purpose, a quick-setting adhesive such as that sold under the brand "ARALDYTE" can be used.

Lors de la mise en oeuvre du procédé de fabrication selon l'invention, après avoir réalisé les éléments de profilé 4 à la dimension voulue, ceux-ci sont mis en place autour de l'élément plan 2. Les éléments de profilé 4 sont alors fixés entre eux, par exemple par l'introduction des plaques de jonction 20-23 dans la rainure 19 au point de contact entre les différents éléments de profilé 4. Ces plaques 20-23 peuvent être collées dans la rainure 19.During the implementation of the manufacturing method according to the invention, after having produced the profile elements 4 to the desired dimension, these are placed around the planar element 2. The profile elements 4 are then fixed together, for example by the introduction of the junction plates 20-23 in the groove 19 at the point of contact between the different profile elements 4. These plates 20-23 can be glued in the groove 19.

Le joint principal est alors introduit sous forme liquide dans la surface intérieure 5 par les ouvertures 15-18. Lors de cette introduction, une pression relativement importante peut être exercée sur le joint liquide sans risque de débordement. En effet, lorsque la surface intérieure 5 ou plus précisément la cavité ménagée entre cette surface intérieure 5 et l'élément plan 2 est remplit en un point du profilé, le joint liquide 3 exerce une pression sur les lèvres 11 et 12 des joints de flancs 9 et 10 quittant à appliquer ceux-ci sur les faces de l'élément plan 2 assurant un contact étanche entre ces lèvres 11, 12 et l'élément plan 2.The main seal is then introduced in liquid form into the interior surface 5 through the openings 15-18. During this introduction, a relatively large pressure can be exerted on the liquid seal without risk of overflow. In fact, when the interior surface 5 or more precisely the cavity formed between this interior surface 5 and the planar element 2 is filled at one point of the profile, the liquid seal 3 exerts pressure on the lips 11 and 12 of the side seals 9 and 10 leaving to apply these on the faces of the element plane 2 ensuring a tight contact between these lips 11, 12 and the plane element 2.

La pression ainsi appliquée sur le liquide tend à répartir celui-ci à partir des ouvertures 15-18 tout autour de l'élément 2 et de l'encadrement.The pressure thus applied to the liquid tends to distribute it from the openings 15-18 all around the element 2 and the frame.

Les joints de flancs 9 et 10 assurent ainsi une répartition rapide du joint 3 sous forme liquide sans risque de débordement. Cela permet une économie de la matière constitutive du joint 3 et évite la nécessité de nettoyage des bavures qui auraient été formées en cas de débordement.The side seals 9 and 10 thus ensure rapid distribution of the seal 3 in liquid form without risk of overflow. This saves the material of the seal 3 and avoids the need to clean the burrs that would have formed in the event of an overflow.

Après l'introduction du joint 3, l'encadrement rigidifié par les plaques de liaison 20-23 peut être aisément manipulé et mis en position de stockage pendant la polymérisation du joint 3.After the introduction of the seal 3, the frame rigidified by the connection plates 20-23 can be easily manipulated and put in the storage position during the polymerization of the seal 3.

Lorsque le joint 3 a polymérisé, celui-ci assure la jonction et l'étanchéité entre l'armature 1 et l'élément plan 2. Les joints de flancs 9 et 10 ne remplissent plus alors de rôle particulier.When the seal 3 has polymerized, it provides the junction and the seal between the frame 1 and the planar element 2. The side seals 9 and 10 no longer fulfill a particular role.

L'étanchéité réalisée par les joints 9 et 10 peut être obtenue dans de bonnes conditions avec, pour une dimension donnée de profilé et donc de la surface intérieure 5, pour des épaisseurs très variables de l'élément plan 2. Le même profilé peut donc être utilisé pour une gamme de produits très étendue.The seal produced by the seals 9 and 10 can be obtained under good conditions with, for a given dimension of profile and therefore of the interior surface 5, for very variable thicknesses of the planar element 2. The same profile can therefore be used for a very wide range of products.

A titre d'exemple, des éléments plans 2 constitués par des vitres en méthacrylate peuvent avoir une épaisseur variant entre 6mm et 10mm pour une largeur de la surface intérieure 5 de l'ordre de 12mm.For example, planar elements 2 constituted by methacrylate panes can have a thickness varying between 6mm and 10mm for a width of the surface. interior 5 of the order of 12mm.

Le profilé 4 est avantageusement réalisé en alliage d'aluminium tel que de AG S, il peut être partiellement anodisé. On obtient, selon l'invention, des encadrements de grande résistance utilisables entre autre pour la réalisation de hublots ou fenêtres de navires de plaisance, des éléments plans 2 de 3 mètres de long et 3 mètre de large sont ainsi les éléments encadrés.The profile 4 is advantageously made of aluminum alloy such as AG S, it can be partially anodized. Obtained according to the invention, frames of great resistance usable among other things for the realization of portholes or windows of pleasure ships, planar elements 2 of 3 meters long and 3 meters wide are the framed elements.
