Description

La présente invention concerne le domaine du bâtiment, en particulier de l'agencement intérieur des locaux et, notamment, du montage d'appareils encastrés dans des parois ou dans des plafonds et a pour objet un dispositif de montage adapté à cet effet.The present invention relates to the field of building, in particular the interior layout of premises and, in particular, the mounting of built-in devices in walls or in ceilings and relates to a mounting device suitable for this purpose.

Actuellement, il existe différents dispositifs de montage, en particulier d'appareils d'éclairage, encastrés dans des plafonds ou dans des parois, notamment dans des plafonds tendus ou des revêtements de parois tendus.Currently, there are different mounting devices, in particular lighting fixtures, embedded in ceilings or in walls, in particular in stretch ceilings or stretch wall coverings.

Ainsi, MC-A-19 860 189 décrit un agencement de plafonds suspendus constitué par des dalles accrochées sur les ailes de ferrures-supports permettant un réglage en hauteur et présentant, en outre un caisson pour l'installation d'un appareillage électrique d'éclairage ou autre.Thus, MC-A-19 860 189 describes an arrangement of suspended ceilings constituted by slabs hung on the wings of support fittings allowing a height adjustment and having, in addition, a box for the installation of electrical equipment of lighting or whatever.

On connaît également par FR-A-2 098 763 un appareil d'éclairage destiné à être monté dans un faux-plafond et présentant, sur la face apparente du faux-plafond, un enjoliveur monté derrière ledit faux-plafond au moyen de pattes coulissantes et fixé au reste de l'appareil au moyen d'une tige filetée.Also known from FR-A-2 098 763 is a lighting device intended to be mounted in a false ceiling and having, on the visible face of the false ceiling, a trim mounted behind said false ceiling by means of sliding lugs and fixed to the rest of the device by means of a threaded rod.

Enfin, FR-A-2 587 447 décrit, par ailleurs, une chaise de spot pour un faux-plafond ou un faux-mur, qui est essentiellement constituée par deux chapes destinées, respectivement, l'une à la fixation au plafond-support et formant un moyen de fixation audit plafond, et l'autre à la fixation d'un appareil d'éclairage traversant le faux-plafond et formant un moyen de réception dudit appareil d'éclairage, les deux chapes étant reliées entre elles au moyen de pattes coulissantes, le réglage en position de la chape de fixation de l'appareil d'éclairage formant le moyen de réception étant réalisé préalablement par l'intermédiaire d'ensembles vis-écrou à ailette.Finally, FR-A-2 587 447 describes, moreover, a spot chair for a false ceiling or a false wall, which is essentially constituted by two screeds intended, respectively, one for fixing to the support ceiling and forming a means of fixing to said ceiling, and the other to the fixing of a lighting device passing through the false ceiling and forming a means of receiving said lighting device, the two screeds being interconnected by means of sliding legs, adjustment in position the fixing bracket of the lighting fixture forming the receiving means being produced beforehand by means of screw-nut wing assemblies.

Ces dispositifs connus permettent généralement un montage correct de l' appareillage électrique concerné. Toutefois, en particulier dans le cas de faux-plafonds constitués par une toile synthétique tendue, ces dispositifs présentent l' inconvénient de former une retenue de la toile au niveau de la traversée de l'appareillage, à savoir au niveau de la lampe dans le cas d'un appareillage d'éclairage, ou encore d'une bouche d' air de climatisation ou autre, ce qui entraîne un effet esthétique indésirable, tel que, notamment, la formation d'un halo autour dudit appareil d'éclairage et de ne pas pouvoir subir un réglage ultérieurement à la pose afin de compenser la détente éventuelle de la toile.These known devices generally allow correct mounting of the electrical equipment concerned. However, in particular in the case of false ceilings constituted by a stretched synthetic fabric, these devices have the disadvantage of forming a retention of the fabric at the level of the crossing of the apparatus, namely at the level of the lamp in the case of lighting equipment, or of an air-conditioning or other air outlet, which causes an undesirable aesthetic effect, such as, in particular, the formation of a halo around said lighting device and not being able to undergo an adjustment after installation in order to compensate for the possible relaxation of the fabric.

En outre, du fait que les éléments constitutifs des dispositifs de montage connus sont assemblés au moyen de rivets ou d'ensembles vis-écrou permettant leur coulissement, un démontage partiel de ces appareillages en vue d'une intervention de réglage est quasiment impossible à réaliser.In addition, the fact that the constituent elements of known mounting devices are assembled by means of rivets or screw-nut assemblies allowing their sliding, a partial disassembly of these devices for an adjustment intervention is almost impossible to achieve. .

Enfin, les dispositifs précités doivent généralement être fixés par l'un de leurs éléments constitutifs directement au plafond porteur par vissage ou autre, ce qui entraîne un temps d'intervention relativement long et renchérit donc le coût d'installation.Finally, the aforementioned devices must generally be fixed by one of their constituent elements directly to the load-bearing ceiling by screwing or the like, which results in a relatively long intervention time and therefore increases the installation cost.

La présente invention a pour but de pallier ces inconvénients.The present invention aims to overcome these drawbacks.

Elle a, en effet, pour objet un dispositif de montage d'un appareil encastré dans un plafond ou dans une paroi essentiellement constitué par un moyen de fixation au plafond ou au mur porteur relié à un moyen de réception de l'appareil à encastrer, caractérisé en ce que le moyen de fixation est constitué par un rail élastique fixé au plafond ou mur porteur par des élingues réglables ou autres et coopérant avec des plots coniques d'encliquetage solidaires d'une première paire de pattes coulissantes et en ce que le moyen de réception de l'appareil à encastrer est constitué par une platine solidaire d'une deuxième paire de pattes coulissantes et sur laquelle est fixée, par vissage, par rivetage, par soudage ou autre, une platine intermédiaire de support d'un dispositif de réception et de réglage en position de l'appareil à encastrer.It relates, in fact, to a device for mounting an appliance embedded in a ceiling or in a wall essentially constituted by a means of attachment to the ceiling or to the load-bearing wall connected to a means for receiving the built-in appliance, characterized in that the fixing means is constituted by an elastic rail fixed to the ceiling or load-bearing wall by adjustable or other slings and cooperating with conical snap-on studs secured to a first pair of sliding lugs and in that the receiving means of the built-in device consists of a plate integral with a second pair of sliding lugs and on which is fixed, by screwing, by riveting, by welding or other, an intermediate plate for supporting a device for receiving and adjusting the position of the built-in appliance.

L'invention sera mieux comprise, grâce à la description ci-après, qui se rapporte à un mode de réalisation préféré, donné à titre d'exemple non limitatif, et expliqué avec référence au dessin schématique annexé, dans lequel :

  • la figure 1 est une vue en élévation latérale et en coupe du dispositif conforme à l'invention, et
  • la figure 2 est une vue en plan du moyen de réception de l'appareil à encastrer.
The invention will be better understood from the following description, which relates to a preferred embodiment, given by way of nonlimiting example, and explained with reference to the appended schematic drawing, in which:
  • FIG. 1 is a side elevation view in section of the device according to the invention, and
  • Figure 2 is a plan view of the receiving means of the built-in device.

Les figures 1 et 2 du dessin annexé représentent, à titre d'exemple, un dispositif de montage d'un appareil encastré 5, dans un plafond ou dans une paroi, qui est essentiellement constitué par un moyen 1 de fixation au plafond ou au mur porteur relié par l'intermédiaire de pattes coulissantes 2 et 3 à un moyen 4 de réception de l'appareil à encastrer 5.Figures 1 and 2 of the accompanying drawing show, by way of example, a device for mounting a built-in appliance 5, in a ceiling or in a wall, which essentially consists of a means 1 for fixing to the ceiling or to the wall carrier connected via sliding tabs 2 and 3 to a means 4 for receiving the built-in appliance 5.

Conformément à l'invention, le moyen 1 de fixation au plafond ou au mur porteur est constitué par un rail élastique 6 fixé au plafond ou au mur porteur par des élingues réglables 7 ou autres et coopérant avec des plots coniques d'encliquetage 8 solidaires d'une première paire de pattes coulissantes 2 et le moyen 4 de réception de l'appareil à encastrer est constitué par une platine 9 solidaire d'une deuxième paire de pattes coulissantes 3 et sur laquelle est fixée, par vissage, par rivetage, par soudage ou autre, une platine intermédiaire 10 de support d'un dispositif 11 de réception et de réglage en position de l'appareil à encastrer 5.In accordance with the invention, the means 1 for fixing to the ceiling or to the load-bearing wall is constituted by an elastic rail 6 fixed to the ceiling or to the load-bearing wall by adjustable slings 7 or other and cooperating with conical snap-on studs 8 secured to one another. 'a first pair of sliding lugs 2 and the means 4 for receiving the built-in device consists of a plate 9 secured to a second pair of sliding lugs 3 and on which is fixed, by screwing, by riveting, by welding or other, an intermediate plate 10 for supporting a device 11 for receiving and adjusting the position of the built-in device 5.

Le rail élastique 6 est avantageusement constitué sous forme d'un profilé plié ou extrudé présentant à sa partie inférieure une section en V retourné, dont le pli central est constitué par deux lèvres enserrant la partie inférieure des plots coniques d'encliquetage 8, en position de service (figure 1).The elastic rail 6 is advantageously formed in the form of a folded or extruded profile having its lower part has an inverted V section, the central fold of which consists of two lips enclosing the lower part of the conical snap-on studs 8, in the service position (FIG. 1).

Les pattes coulissantes 2 sont reliées chacune à la patte 3 correspondante au moyen d'un ensemble vis-écrou avec interposition entre les pattes et, d'une part, la tête de la vis et, d'autre part, l'écrou, de rondelles élastiques. Ce mode de réalisation permet un serrage efficace des pattes entre elles, tout en autorisant leur coulissement mutuel.The sliding lugs 2 are each connected to the corresponding lug 3 by means of a screw-nut assembly with interposition between the lugs and, on the one hand, the head of the screw and, on the other hand, the nut, of elastic washers. This embodiment allows effective clamping of the legs together, while allowing their mutual sliding.

Le dispositif 11 de réception et de réglage en position de l'appareil à encastrer 5 fixé sur la platine intermédiaire de support 10 est avantageusement constitué par deux montants verticaux 12 profilés en U, diamétralement opposés par leur âme, fixés sur la platine intermédiaire 10 et pourvus chacun, d'une part, d'un gousset de renfort 13 s'étendant entre leurs ailes en U et, d'autre part, d'une glissière verticale 14 disposée sur la face opposée de leur âme et munie, à intervalles réguliers, de crans horizontaux 15 (figure 1).The device 11 for receiving and adjusting the position of the built-in device 5 fixed on the intermediate support plate 10 is advantageously constituted by two vertical uprights 12 U-shaped, diametrically opposed by their core, fixed on the intermediate plate 10 and each provided, on the one hand, with a reinforcing gusset 13 extending between their U-shaped wings and, on the other hand, with a vertical slide 14 arranged on the opposite face of their core and provided, at regular intervals , horizontal notches 15 (Figure 1).

En outre, les glissières verticales 14, fixées sur les faces tournées l'une vers l'autre des montants verticaux 12, présentent, de préférence, une section en U à ailes courtes, dont lesdites ailes s'étendent à proximité immédiate de la section 16 de passage de l'appareil à encastrer 5 (figure 2).In addition, the vertical slides 14, fixed on the faces facing one towards the other of the vertical uprights 12, preferably have a U-section with short wings, the said wings of which extend in the immediate vicinity of the section. 16 for the passage of the built-in appliance 5 (FIG. 2).

Selon une autre caractétistique de l'invention, et comme le montre plus particulièrement la figure 1 du dessin annexé, l'appareil à encastrer 5 est pourvu de deux pattes 17 diamétralement opposées, constituées par des lames de ressorts s'étendant obliquement vers le haut, fixées à une extrémité sur l'appareil 5 et dont les extrémités libres sont recourbées l'une en direction de l'autre en formant une saillie 18 s'appuyant entre les crans horizontaux 15 des glissières verticales 14, ou formant un arrêt contre une sortie de la platine intermédiaire 10 par appui sur le rebord de cette dernière délimité par lesdites glissières verticales 14.According to another characteristic of the invention, and as shown more particularly in Figure 1 of the accompanying drawing, the built-in appliance 5 is provided with two diametrically opposed tabs 17, constituted by leaf springs extending obliquely upwards , fixed at one end to the device 5 and the free ends of which are bent towards one another, forming a projection 18 supported between the horizontal notches 15 of the vertical slides 14, or forming a stop against an output of the intermediate plate 10 by pressing on the rim of the latter delimited by said vertical slides 14.

Dans le cas d'utilisation d'un appareil à encastrer 5 présentant un encombrement en hauteur important pour le montage d'un appareillage électrique de grande dimension, ledit appareil 5 est pourvu de deux évidements opposés permettant le passage des extrémités libres des pattes 17.In the case of using a built-in device 5 having a large space requirement in height for mounting a large electrical apparatus, said device 5 is provided with two opposite recesses allowing the passage of the free ends of the legs 17.

Ce mode de réalisation permet, d'une part, une introduction aisée de l'appareil à encastrer 5 dans le moyen 4 de réception, les pattes 17 pouvant être facilement insérées dans la section de passage 16 par simple pincement et, d'autre part, un réglage de position précis de l'appareil 5 par rapport à la toile ou analogue 19 formant le faux-plafond ou la fausse paroi, ainsi qu'un maintien de l'appareil 5 en position basse, avant extraction, par appui sur les saillies 18, permettant une intervention aisée sur le dispositif de connexion de l'appareil 5 sans démontage complet de ce dernier.This embodiment allows, on the one hand, easy introduction of the built-in device 5 into the receiving means 4, the tabs 17 can be easily inserted into the passage section 16 by simple pinching and, on the other hand , a precise position adjustment of the device 5 relative to the fabric or the like 19 forming the false ceiling or the false wall, as well as maintaining the device 5 in the low position, before extraction, by pressing on the projections 18, allowing easy intervention on the device connection device 5 without complete disassembly of the latter.

En outre, dans le cas d'utilisation d'un appareil à encombrement en hauteur important, la prévision d'évidements opposés permettant le passage des extrémités libres des pattes 17 autorise un réglage du dispositif en toutes positions, les pattes 17 pouvant facilement pénétrer par leur extrémité libre dans lesdits évidements.In addition, in the case of using a device with a large overall height, the provision of opposite recesses allowing the passage of the free ends of the lugs 17 allows adjustment of the device in any position, the lugs 17 being able to easily penetrate by their free end in said recesses.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, la toile 19 ou analogue, formant le plafond ou la paroi d'encastrement de l'appareil 5, est avantageusement pourvue, autour de son ouverture de passage dudit appareil à encastrer 5, sur ses deux faces, de deux rondelles de renfort 20 en matière synthétique rigide ou semi-rigide collées au moyen d'une bande adhésive double-face et centrées au montage au moyen d'un cône, la rondelle extérieure 20 étant recouverte d'une platine de finition 21 de l'appareil 5. La prévision de telles rondelles 20, qui sont avantageusement réalisées en PVC, permet une réalisation rapide de renforts autour des ouvertures par un montage simple et efficace, contrairement aux modes de réalisation actuels qui prévoient un préencollage des deux faces de la toile au moyen d'une burette de colle et la présentation de renforts avec un centrage manuel.According to another characteristic of the invention, the fabric 19 or the like, forming the ceiling or the embedding wall of the device 5, is advantageously provided, around its opening for passage of said built-in device 5, on its two faces , two reinforcing washers 20 in rigid or semi-rigid synthetic material bonded by means of a double-sided adhesive strip and centered for mounting by means of a cone, the external washer 20 being covered with a finishing plate 21 5. The forecast of such washers 20, which are advantageously made of PVC, allows rapid production of reinforcements around the openings by simple and effective assembly, unlike current embodiments which provide for pre-gluing of the two sides of the canvas by means of an adhesive burette and the presentation of reinforcements with manual centering.

Conformément à une variante de réalisation de l'invention, non représentée au dessin schématique annexé, le moyen de fixation 1 peut également être constitué par une partie télescopique tubulaire de fixation à une platine solidaire du plafond, coopérant à son autre extrémité avec un raccord à plaque solidaire du moyen 4 de réception de l'appareil à encastrer, ledit moyen 4 étant sous forme d'un capot cylindrique présentant à son extrémité inférieure une virole et étant destiné au logement de l'appareil à encastrer 5, muni à cet effet de moyens élastiques d'appui et de maintien et, à sa partie inférieure, d'une platine de finition 21 destinée à coopérer avec la virole dudit capot.In accordance with an alternative embodiment of the invention, not shown in the accompanying diagrammatic drawing, the fixing means 1 can also be constituted by a tubular telescopic part for fixing to a plate fixed to the ceiling, cooperating at its other end with a connection to plate integral with the means 4 for receiving the built-in device, said means 4 being in the form of a cylindrical cover having at its lower end a ferrule and being intended for housing the built-in device 5, provided for this purpose with elastic support and holding means and, at its lower part, a finishing plate 21 intended to cooperate with the shell of said cover.

Un tel mode de réalisation permet un montage rigide et extrêmement précis du dispositif entre le plafond et la toile ou analogue formant le plafond ou la paroi d'encastrement.Such an embodiment allows rigid and extremely precise mounting of the device between the ceiling and the canvas or the like forming the ceiling or the embedding wall.

Selon une autre variante de réalisation de l'invention, non représentée aux dessins annexés, le moyen 4 de réception de l'appareil à encastrer est relié au moyen 1 de fixation au plafond ou au mur porteur par l'intermédiaire d'un dispositif à visser. Dans un tel cas, le réglage en position du moyen 4 par rapport à la toile 19 du plafond peut être réalisée de manière extrêmement précise afin d'obtenir un appui de la platine 9 du moyen 4 contre la face interne ou supérieure de la toile 19, de sorte que lors de la mise en place de l'appareil 5 sa platine de finition 21 s'appuie parfaitement, sans déformation de la toile 19, contre ladite platine 9.According to another alternative embodiment of the invention, not shown in the accompanying drawings, the means 4 for receiving the built-in appliance is connected to the means 1 for fixing to the ceiling or to the load-bearing wall by means of a device for to screw. In such a case, the adjustment in position of the means 4 relative to the canvas 19 of the ceiling can be carried out extremely precisely in order to obtain a support of the plate 9 of the means 4 against the internal or upper face of the fabric 19 , so that when the device 5 is put in place, its finishing plate 21 rests perfectly, without deformation of the fabric 19, against said plate 9.

Grâce à l'invention, il est possible de réaliser un dispositif de montage d'un appareil encastré dans un plafond ou dans une paroi pouvant facilement et rapidement être fixé au plafond porteur ou sur la paroi porteuse et permettant une adaptation aisée et précise à la position du faux-plafond ou de la fausse paroi afin d'éviter toute déformation inesthétique de ces derniers, par simple coulissement de l'appareil à encastrer 5 par rapport au dispositif.Thanks to the invention, it is possible to produce a device for mounting a device embedded in a ceiling or in a wall which can easily and quickly be fixed to the load-bearing ceiling or to the load-bearing wall and allowing easy and precise adaptation to the position of the false ceiling or false wall in order to avoid any unsightly deformation of the latter, by simple sliding of the built-in device 5 relative to the device.

Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée au mode de réalisation décrit et représenté au dessin annexé. Des modifications restent possibles, notamment du point de vue de la constitution des divers éléments ou par substitution d'équivalents techniques, sans sortir pour autant du domaine de protection de l'invention.Of course, the invention is not limited to the embodiment described and shown in the accompanying drawing. Modifications remain possible, notably from the point of view of the constitution of the various elements or by substitution of technical equivalents, without thereby departing from the scope of protection of the invention.
