Description

La présente invention concerne d'une manière générale les suspentes du genre comportant, pour la suspension d'un quelconque profilé à un quelconque support, par exemple pour le soutien d'un faux plafond, une tête, propre à être assujettie au support à équiper, un pied, propre à recevoir le profilé à suspendre, et, reliant ce pied à la tête, une tige.The present invention relates generally to lines of the type comprising, for the suspension of any profile on any support, for example for the support of a false ceiling, a head, suitable for being subject to the support to be fitted , a foot, suitable for receiving the profile to be suspended, and, connecting this foot to the head, a rod.

Elle vise plus particulièrement, mais non nécessairement exclusivement, le cas où, pour permettre un réglage en hauteur du pied par rapport à la tête, la tige est une tige filetée, qui est en prise à vissage avec la tête, et avec laquelle le pied est lui-même en prise à vissage.It relates more particularly, but not necessarily exclusively, to the case where, to allow adjustment of the height of the foot relative to the head, the rod is a threaded rod, which is in screw connection with the head, and with which the foot is itself in screw connection.

Le plus souvent, la tête forme une pièce d'un seul tenant.Most often, the head forms a single piece.

Pour permettre cependant une certaine inclinaison du pied par rapport à la tête, par exemple pour une implantation sur les chevrons d'une charpente, il a déjà été proposé de réaliser en deux parties cette tête, l'une destinée à être assujettie au support à équiper, l'autre recevant la tige associée, et d'articuler l'une à l'autre ces deux parties.To allow however a certain inclination of the foot relative to the head, for example for an implantation on the rafters of a frame, it has already been proposed to produce this head in two parts, one intended to be subjected to the support to equip, the other receiving the associated rod, and to articulate one with the other these two parts.

Mais, avec une telle disposition, les possibilités d'orientation et d'implantation de la suspente restent limitées.However, with such an arrangement, the possibilities of orientation and location of the hanger remain limited.

Il en est de même dans la demande de brevet britannique No 2.165.915, dans laquelle le pied de la suspente, en l'espèce un anneau propre à enserrer une canalisation, est articulé à la tige.It is the same in British patent application No. 2,165,915, in which the foot of the hanger, in this case a ring suitable for enclosing a pipe, is articulated to the rod.

Il est connu par ailleurs, par le brevet français No 1.221.188, d'articuler la tige à la tête par l'intermédiaire de tourillons.It is also known, by French patent No 1.221.188, to articulate the rod to the head by means of pins.

Mais, dans ce brevet français, la tige est double et la tête se présente sous la forme d'un caisson, qui est ouvert latéralement à l'une et à l'autre de ses extrémités, et dont le fond, sur lequel portent les tourillons, présente deux fentes, ou rainures, pour le passage des deux tiges.But, in this French patent, the rod is double and the head is in the form of a box, which is open laterally at one and the other of its ends, and whose bottom, on which the pins, has two slots, or grooves, for the passage of the two rods.

Il en résulte une réalisation qui est assez complexe et mal aisée à mettre en oeuvre, et dont, de surcroît, et comme précédemment, les possibilités d'orientation et d'implantation sont limitées.This results in an embodiment which is quite complex and difficult to implement, and of which, moreover, and as before, the possibilities of orientation and establishment are limited.

En pratique, le caisson formant la tête de la suspente correspondante ne peut correctement être disposé qu'à plat.In practice, the box forming the head of the corresponding hanger can only be correctly placed flat.

En outre, les tiges peuvent se déplacer dans ce caisson à la faveur des fentes, ou rainures, qu'elles traversent, au détriment de leur position par rapport au support à équiper, et, donc, au détriment de l'éventuel entr'axe suivant lequel elles doivent être implantées.In addition, the rods can move in this box thanks to the slots, or grooves, which they pass through, to the detriment of their position relative to the support to be fitted, and, therefore, to the detriment of the possible spacing according to which they must be implanted.

Il est connu, enfin, par le brevet américain No 3 981 116, une suspente dont la tige est attelée par un pivot à une tête présentant, parallèlement l'une à l'autre, deux ailes.Finally, it is known from American Patent No. 3,981,116, a hanger whose rod is coupled by a pivot to a head having, parallel to each other, two wings.

Mais, dans ce brevet américain, le pivot traverse la tige, et si, par les tourillons qu'il forme par ses extrémités, il s'étend de l'une à l'autre des ailes de la tête, il ne saurait s'étendre librement entre celles-ci sous peine de risquer de leur échapper.But, in this American patent, the pivot crosses the rod, and if, by the trunnions which it forms by its ends, it extends from one to the other of the wings of the head, it cannot spread freely between them or risk escaping them.

Pour le maintien de ce pivot, il est donc nécessaire de prévoir des moyens spécifiques à cet effet, au prix, comme précédemment, d'une certaine complication.To maintain this pivot, it is therefore necessary to provide specific means for this purpose, at the cost, as previously, of a certain complication.

La présente invention a d'une manière générale pour objet une disposition conduisant au contraire à une réalisation particulièrement simple, dépourvue des inconvénients précités, et susceptible si désiré de multiples possibilités d'implantation.The present invention generally relates to a provision leading on the contrary to a particularly simple embodiment, devoid of the aforementioned drawbacks, and susceptible if desired of multiple implantation possibilities.

De manière plus précise, elle a pour objet une suspente, qui est du genre comportant, pour la suspension d'un quelconque profilé à un quelconque support, une tête, propre à être assujettie au support à équiper, un pied, propre à recevoir le profilé à suspendre, et, reliant ce pied à la tête, une tige, cette tige étant attelée à la tête par l'intermédiaire de tourillons s'étendant transversalement par rapport à elle et montés pivotants sur cette tête, la tête présentant, parallèlement l'une à l'autre, deux ailes, les tourillons s'étendant de l'une à l'autre de ces ailes, transversalement par rapport à celles-ci, en étant engagés à tourillonnement dans des perçages de ces ailes, et la tige s'étendant librement entre ces ailes, parallèlement à celles-ci, cette suspente étant d'une manière générale caractérisée en ce que, les deux ailes de la tête étant reliées l'une à l'autre par une traverse, cette traverse présente une échancrure, qui, de largeur suffisante pour le passage de la tige, s'étend globalement parallèlement auxdites ailes, et les tourillons s'étendent librement de l'une à l'autre de celles-ci.More specifically, it relates to a hanger, which is of the type comprising, for the suspension of any profile to any support, a head, suitable for being subject to the support to be fitted, a foot, suitable for receiving the profile to be suspended, and, connecting this foot to the head, a rod, this rod being coupled to the head by means of pins extending transversely relative to it and pivotally mounted on this head, the head having, parallel to the '' to one another, two wings, the journals extending from one to the other of these wings, transversely with respect to them, while being engaged at swiveling in the holes of these wings, and the rod extending freely between these wings, parallel to these, this hanger being generally characterized in that, the two wings of the head being connected one to the other by a cross, this cross has a notch, which, of sufficient width for the passage of the rod, extends generally parallel to said wings, and the pins extend freely from one to the other of those -this.

Il en résulte, avantageusement, une grande simplicité de fabrication et de montage pour l'ensemble, celui-ci n'étant formé que d'un nombre minimal de pièces, sans pièce spécifique pour le maintien du croisillon et/ou de la tige par rapport à la tête.Advantageously, this results in great simplicity of manufacture and assembly for the assembly, the latter being formed only from a minimum number of parts, with no specific part for maintaining the spider and / or the rod by report to the head.

Il en résulte également de nombreuses possibilités d'orientation et d'implantation.It also results in numerous possibilities of orientation and establishment.

Par exemple, la tête peut aussi bien être implantée verticalement, qu'horizontalement ou de manière plus ou moins inclinée.For example, the head can be implanted as well vertically, only horizontally or more or less inclined.

En outre, suivant un développement de l'invention, lorsque cette tête est disposée verticalement, la tige peut, au choix, être disposée verticalement ou horizontalement.In addition, according to a development of the invention, when this head is arranged vertically, the rod can, as desired, be arranged vertically or horizontally.

Les caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention ressortiront d'ailleurs de la description qui va suivre, à titre d'exemple, en référence aux dessins schématiques annexés sur lesquels :

  • la figure 1 est une vue en perspective d'une suspente suivant l'invention et du profilé à la suspension duquel elle est destinée ;
  • la figure 2 est, à l'échelle de la figure 1, une vue en perspective éclatée de la suspente suivant l'invention ;

  • la figure 11 est une vue de côté analogue à celle de la figure 10, pour un autre mode d'implantation de la suspente suivant l'invention ;
  • la figure 12 est, à l'échelle de la figure 11, une vue en coupe relative à cet autre mode d'implantation, suivant la ligne XII-XII de la figure 11.
The characteristics and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the description which follows, by way of example, with reference to the appended schematic drawings in which:
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view of a hanger according to the invention and the profile for the suspension of which it is intended;
  • Figure 2 is, on the scale of Figure 1, an exploded perspective view of the hanger according to the invention;

  • FIG. 12 is, on the scale of FIG. 11, a sectional view relating to this other mode of installation, along the line XII-XII of FIG. 11.

Tel qu'illustré sur ces figures, il s'agit, globalement, de suspendre un quelconque profilé 10 à un quelconque support, qui, par exemple, peut être une poutre 11, figures 6, 9 et 10, une dalle en béton 12, formant plafond, figure 7, un chevron 13, figure 8, ou un mur 14, figures 11 et 12.As illustrated in these figures, it is a question, overall, of suspending any profile 10 from any support, which, for example, can be a beam 11, Figures 6, 9 and 10, a concrete slab 12, forming a ceiling, Figure 7, a rafter 13, Figure 8, or a wall 14, Figures 11 and 12.

Dans la forme de réalisation représentée, le profilé 10 concerné est un profilé en U dont le fond 16 est globalement plat, tout en étant longitudinalement nervuré, et dont les ailes 17 présentent, le long de leur bord libre, des retours en équerre 18 dirigés l'un vers l'autre.In the embodiment shown, the section 10 concerned is a U-shaped section, the bottom 16 of which is generally flat, while being longitudinally ribbed, and the wings 17 of which have, along their free edge, angled returns 18 directed towards each other.

Ce profilé 10 étant bien connu par lui-même, et ne relevant pas de la présente invention, il ne sera pas décrit plus en détail ici.This profile 10 being well known in itself, and not part of the present invention, it will not be described in more detail here.

Pour la suspension d'un tel profilé 10, il est mis en oeuvre, de place en place, le long de celui-ci, des suspentes 20.For the suspension of such a profile 10, lines 20 are used, from place to place, along it.

Globalement, une telle suspente 20 comporte une tête 21, propre à être assujettie au support 11, 12, 13 ou 14 à équiper, un pied 22, propre à recevoir le profilé 10 à suspendre, et, reliant ce pied 22 à la tête 21, une tige 23.Overall, such a hanger 20 comprises a head 21, suitable for being subject to the support 11, 12, 13 or 14 to be fitted, a foot 22, suitable for receiving the section 10 to be suspended, and, connecting this foot 22 to the head 21 , a rod 23.

Dans la forme de réalisation représentée, et de manière connue en soi, la tige 23 est une tige filetée, et, plus précisément, une tige filetée sur toute sa hauteur.In the embodiment shown, and in a manner known per se, the rod 23 is a threaded rod, and, more precisely, a threaded rod over its entire height.

En outre, dans cette forme de réalisation, le pied 22 est un étrier qui présente, d'une part, une platine 25 dotée d'un perçage taraudé 26 par lequel il est en prise à vissage avec la tige 23, et, d'autre part, perpendiculairement à cette platine 25, deux ailes 27, adaptées, par des profils arrondis 28 et des fentes 29, à permettre un encliquetage du profilé 10.In addition, in this embodiment, the foot 22 is a stirrup which has, on the one hand, a plate 25 provided with a threaded bore 26 by which it is in screw connection with the rod 23, and, on the other hand, perpendicular to this plate 25, two wings 27, adapted, by rounded profiles 28 and slots 29, to allow the profile 10 to snap into place.

Un tel pied 22 étant lui aussi bien connu par lui-même, il ne sera pas non plus décrit plus en détail ici.Since such a foot 22 is also well known by itself, it will not be described in more detail here either.

La tige 23 permet de l'ajuster en hauteur par rapport à la tête 21.The rod 23 makes it possible to adjust it in height relative to the head 21.

Elle est attelée à cette tête 21 par l'intermédiaire de tourillons 30, qui s'étendent transversalement par rapport à elle et qui sont montés pivotants sur la tête 21, en sorte qu'elle est articulée à celle-ci.It is coupled to this head 21 by means of pins 30, which extend transversely relative to it and which are pivotally mounted on the head 21, so that it is articulated thereto.

En pratique, la tige 23 est en prise à vissage avec un croisillon 32 dont les extrémités forment les tourillons 30.In practice, the rod 23 is in screw connection with a spider 32 whose ends form the pins 30.

Dans la forme de réalisation représentée, le croisillon est en forme de gouttière, et sa section transversale est globalement hémi-circulaire.In the embodiment shown, the spider is in the form of a gutter, and its cross section is generally semi-circular.

Pour vissage de la tige 23, il présente, transversalement, dans sa zone médiane, un perçage taraudé 33.For screwing the rod 23, it has, transversely, in its central zone, a threaded bore 33.

En pratique, ce perçage taraudé 33 s'étend à la faveur d'un bossage cylindrique 34 qui fait saillie radialement sur sa surface extérieure.In practice, this threaded bore 33 extends in favor of a cylindrical boss 34 which projects radially on its outer surface.

La tête 21 se présente elle-même sous la forme d'un étrier en oméga.The head 21 is itself in the form of an omega stirrup.

Elle présente ainsi parallèlement l'une à l'autre, deux ailes 36, qui sont reliées l'une à l'autre par une traverse 37, et qui, le long de leur bord libre, sont chacune respectivement munies, en équerre, de pattes de fixation 38 propres à l'assujettissement de l'ensemble au support 11, 12, 13 ou 14 à équiper.It thus has, parallel to one another, two wings 36, which are connected to one another by a cross member 37, and which, along their free edge, are each respectively provided, at right angles, with fixing lugs 38 suitable for securing the assembly to the support 11, 12, 13 or 14 to be fitted.

Par exemple, et tel que représenté, ces pattes 38 présentent, pour ce faire, un ou plusieurs perçages 39, propres au passage d'un quelconque moyen de fixation, tel que vis 40, pointe ou autre.For example, and as shown, these tabs 38 have, to do this, one or more holes 39, suitable for the passage of any fixing means, such as screw 40, tip or other.

Quoi qu'il en soit, elles sont coplanaires.Either way, they are coplanar.

La distance D1 séparant l'une de l'autre les ailes 36 est sensiblement égale au diamètre extérieur du bossage 34 du croisillon 32, tout en étant légèrement supérieur à celui-ci.The distance D1 separating one from the other the wings 36 is substantially equal to the outside diameter of the boss 34 of the spider 32, while being slightly greater than the latter.

Suivant l'invention, les tourillons 30 s'étendent librement de l'une à l'autre de ces ailes 36, transversalement par rapport à celles-ci, en étant engagé à tourillonnement dans des perçages 41 de ces ailes 36 de section transversale circulaire complémentaire de leur propre section transversale.According to the invention, the pins 30 extend freely from one to the other of these wings 36, transversely with respect thereto, while being engaged in journalling in holes 41 of these wings 36 of circular cross section complementary to their own cross section.

De même, la tige 23 s'étend librement entre les ailes 36, parallèlement à celles-ci.Similarly, the rod 23 extends freely between the wings 36, parallel to the latter.

En pratique, la distance D1 est au plus égale au triple du diamètre D2 de cette tige 23.In practice, the distance D1 is at most equal to three times the diameter D2 of this rod 23.

Pour la mise en place du croisillon 32 formant les tourillons 30, l'une des ailes 36 présente, en bordure de son perçage 41, une découpe 42 propre au passage du bossage 34 de ce croisillon 32.For the establishment of the spider 32 forming the pins 30, one of the wings 36 has, at the edge of its bore 41, a cutout 42 suitable for the passage of the boss 34 of this spider 32.

Préférentiellement, et tel que représenté, cette découpe 42 s'étend, en oblique, du côté du perçage 41 concerné opposé à la traverse 37.Preferably, and as shown, this cutout 42 extends, obliquely, on the side of the bore 41 concerned opposite to the crosspiece 37.

Enfin, dans la forme de réalisation représentée, la traverse 37 présente une échancrure 43 à bords parallèles, qui, de largeur suffisante pour le passage de la tige 23, s'étend globalement parallèlement aux ailes 36.Finally, in the embodiment shown, the cross-member 37 has a notch 43 with parallel edges, which, of sufficient width for the passage of the rod 23, extends generally parallel to the wings 36.

En pratique, le fond borgne 44 de cette échancrure 43 est au profil de la tige 23, en étant donc hémi-circulaire, et son centre C2 est sensiblement à niveau avec celui C1 des perçages 41 des ailes 36.In practice, the blind bottom 44 of this notch 43 is in the profile of the rod 23, therefore being semi-circular, and its center C2 is substantially level with that C1 of the holes 41 of the wings 36.

Pour le montage d'une suspente 20 ainsi constituée, il convient tout d'abord d'engager les tourillons 30 dans les perçages 41 des ailes 36 de la tête 21, en inclinant légèrement, tel que schématisé en traits interrompus sur la figure 2, le croisillon 32 qui les forment, pour que le bossage 34 de ce croisillon 32 puisse franchir la première de ces ailes 36 à la faveur de la découpe 42 prévue à cet effet dans celle-ci.For the mounting of a hanger 20 thus formed, it is first of all necessary to engage the pins 30 in the holes 41 of the wings 36 of the head 21, by tilting slightly, as shown diagrammatically in broken lines in FIG. 2, the spider 32 which forms them, so that the boss 34 of this spider 32 can cross the first of these wings 36 thanks to the cutout 42 provided for this purpose therein.

Le bossage 34 du croisillon 32 s'étendant dès lors entre les ailes 36 de la tête 21, il assure par lui-même de manière suffisante pour la suite des opérations le maintien de ce croisillon 32 par rapport à cette tête 21.The boss 34 of the spider 32 therefore extending between the wings 36 of the head 21, it ensures by itself sufficient for the continuation of operations the maintenance of this spider 32 relative to this head 21.

Il suffit, ensuite, de visser dans le perçage taraudé 33 de ce croisillon 32 la tige filetée 23, et de visser sur celle-ci le pied 22.It then suffices to screw the threaded rod 23 into the threaded bore 33 of this cross-member 32, and to screw the foot 22 thereon.

Tel que représenté sur les figures 6 et 7, la tête 21 d'une suspente 20 suivant l'invention peut être disposée horizontalement sur la surface inférieure du support à équiper, une poutre 11 par exemple, figure 6, ou une dalle en béton 12 formant plancher, figure 7.As shown in Figures 6 and 7, the head 21 of a hanger 20 according to the invention can be arranged horizontally on the lower surface of the support to be fitted, a beam 11 for example, Figure 6, or a concrete slab 12 forming floor, figure 7.

Mais, tel qu'illustré à la figure 8, elle peut également être disposée en oblique, par exemple sur la surface inférieure d'un chevron 13.However, as illustrated in FIG. 8, it can also be arranged obliquely, for example on the lower surface of a chevron 13.

Par simple gravité, la tige 23 s'oriente alors verticalement, par pivotement du croisillon 32 sur la tête 21.By simple gravity, the rod 23 is then oriented vertically, by pivoting the spider 32 on the head 21.

Le profilé 10 est ainsi disposé horizontalement, avec son fond 16 horizontal.The profile 10 is thus arranged horizontally, with its bottom 16 horizontal.

Tel que représenté sur les figures 9 à 12, la tête 21 de la suspente 20 suivant l'invention peut également être disposée verticalement sur le support à équiper, en étant par exemple rapportée sur l'un des flancs d'une poutre 11, figures 9 et 10, ou sur un mur 14, figures 11 et 12.As shown in Figures 9 to 12, the head 21 of the hanger 20 according to the invention can also be arranged vertically on the support to be fitted, being for example attached to one of the sides of a beam 11, Figures 9 and 10, or on a wall 14, Figures 11 and 12.

Dans le premier cas, qui correspond à la suspension d'un profilé 10 qui, comme précédemment, est disposé horizontalement, avec son fond 16 horizontal, la tête 21 est disposée de manière à ce que la concavité de l'échancrure 43 affectant sa traverse 37 soit orientée vers le bas, et, comme précédemment, la tige 23 s'oriente elle-même verticalement par simple gravité.In the first case, which corresponds to the suspension of a profile 10 which, as before, is arranged horizontally, with its bottom 16 horizontal, the head 21 is arranged so that the concavity of the notch 43 affecting its cross 37 is oriented downwards, and, as before, the rod 23 orients itself vertically by simple gravity.

Dans le deuxième cas, qui peut correspondre aussi bien à la suspension d'un profilé 10 disposé horizontalement, avec alors toutefois son fond 16 vertical, tel que représenté, qu'à la fixation d'un profilé 10 disposé verticalement, la tête 21 est disposée de manière à ce que la concavité de l'échancrure 43 affectant sa traverse 37 soit orientée vers le haut.In the second case, which can correspond as well to the suspension of a profile 10 arranged horizontally, with its vertical bottom 16 as shown, then, as to the fixing of a profile 10 arranged vertically, the head 21 is arranged so that the concavity of the notch 43 affecting its cross member 37 is oriented upwards.

La tige 23 vient alors reposer sur le fond 44 de cette échancrure 43, et elle est ainsi maintenue horizontalement.The rod 23 then comes to rest on the bottom 44 of this notch 43, and it is thus held horizontally.
