Description

Cette invention concerne un embout destiné à assujettir les extrémités des lattes de bois appartenant à un sommier à lattes qui est formé par un logement ouvert sur un de ses côtés et présentant, pour le reste, une face supérieure, un fond et trois faces latérales dont les dimensions correspondent à celles de l'extrémité de la latte à saisir.This invention relates to a tip for securing the ends of the wooden slats belonging to a slatted base which is formed by a housing open on one of its sides and having, for the rest, an upper face, a bottom and three lateral faces, the dimensions correspond to those of the end of the batten to be grasped.

Il existe de nombreux types d'embout qui sont en usage depuis fort longtemps et sont destinés à être glissés sur les extrémités des lattes d'un sommier à lattes. De tels embouts ont une exigence qui est de permettre une fixation solide des lattes par rapport aux profilés de support.There are many types of end caps that have been in use for a very long time and are intended to be slid over the ends of the slats of a slatted base. Such ends have a requirement which is to allow a solid fixing of the slats with respect to the support profiles.

De plus, la liaison entre les extrémités des lattes et les profilés de support doit demeureur silencieux. D'un point de vue constructif la fixation à la machine des embouts sur les profilés de support doit pouvoir se faire sans encombres.In addition, the connection between the ends of the slats and the support profiles must remain silent. From a constructive point of view, the attachment to the machine of the end caps on the support profiles must be able to be carried out without hindrance.

Pour réaliser cet objectif conformément à l'invention, l'embout conforme à l'invention est caractérisé en ce que:

  • a) à l'intérieur de l'embout est prévu au moins un crochet sur la face interne d'un des côtés du logement et présentant une section longitudinale telle que ce crochet saute dans une encoche de l'extrémité de la latte, prévue à cet effet, lorsque cette extrémité est enfoncée dans l'embout;
  • b) au moins une protubérence, à tête élargie, fait saillie sous le fond, qui peut être enfoncée étroitement dans le passage correspondant ménagé dans un profilé de support perforé à cet effet, protubérence qui présente, dans le sens longitudinal, une ouverture allongée qui permet une compression suffisante de la protubérence lorsque celle-ci est enfoncée étroitement dans le profilé de support perforé.
To achieve this objective in accordance with the invention, the nozzle according to the invention is characterized in that:
  • a) inside the end piece is provided at least one hook on the internal face of one of the sides of the housing and having a longitudinal section such that this hook jumps into a notch in the end of the slat, provided at this effect, when this end is pressed into the nozzle;
  • b) at least one protuberance, with an enlarged head, protrusion under the bottom, which can be pressed tightly into the corresponding passage formed in a support profile perforated for this purpose, protuberance which has, in the longitudinal direction, an elongated opening which allows sufficient compression of the protuberance when it is pressed tightly into the perforated support profile.

D'autres détails et avantages de l'invention ressortiront de la description qui sera donnée ci-après d'un embout destiné à assujettir les extrémités de lattes de bois appartenant à un sommier à lattes.Other details and advantages of the invention will emerge from the description which will be given below of a nozzle intended for securing the ends of wooden slats belonging to a slatted base.

Cette description n'est donnée qu'à titre d'exemple et ne limite pas l'invention. Les notations de référence se rapportent aux figures ci-jointes.This description is given by way of example only and does not limit the invention. The reference notations refer to the attached figures.

La figure 1 est une vue en plan de l'embout selon l'invention dans lequel l'extrémité d'une latte est glissée.Figure 1 is a plan view of the nozzle according to the invention in which the end of a slat is slid.

La figure 2 est une coupe selon la ligne II-II de la figure 1.Figure 2 is a section along line II-II of Figure 1.

La figure 3 est une coupe selon la ligne III-III de la figure 1.Figure 3 is a section along line III-III of Figure 1.

L'embout représenté par ces figures est constitué d'un logement 1 présentant un côté ouvert, c.à.d. le côté par lequel l'extrémité d'une latte 2 peut être enfoncée dans l'embout, un fond 3, une face supérieure 4 et trois parois latérales 5.The tip shown in these figures consists of a housing 1 having an open side, i.e. the side by which the end of a slat 2 can be pressed into the end piece, a bottom 3, an upper face 4 and three side walls 5.

A l'intérieur, le logement 1 possède un crochet 6 qui fait saillie hors du fond 3 et qui, lorsque l'extrémité de la latte est introduite dans le logement 1, saute dans le trou 7 prévu dans cette extrémité de latte.Inside, the housing 1 has a hook 6 which projects out from the bottom 3 and which, when the end of the slat is introduced into the housing 1, jumps into the hole 7 provided in this end of the slat.

Le fond 3 présente en-dessous au moins une, mais de préférence deux, protubérences 8 présentant une tête élargie 9 grâce à laquelle le logement 2 peut être fixé par rapport à un profilé de soutien situé en-dessous.The bottom 3 has below at least one, but preferably two, protuberances 8 having an enlarged head 9 thanks to which the housing 2 can be fixed relative to a support profile located below.

Le profilé de soutien qui n'est pas représenté aux figures, présente des perforations appropriées dans lesquelles la tête élargie 9 peut être enfoncée et grâce auxquelles les protubérences 8 demeurent bloquées. Pour permettre l'enfoncement de la protubérence 8, la tête élargie 9 de celle-ci doit pouvoir être légèrement comprimée. A cet effet, des ouvertures allongées 10 sont prévues.The support profile which is not shown in the figures, has suitable perforations in which the enlarged head 9 can be inserted and thanks to which the protrusions 8 remain blocked. To allow the protuberance 8 to be pushed in, the enlarged head 9 of the latter must be able to be slightly compressed. To this end, elongated openings 10 are provided.

Grâce à la présence de ces orifices allongées, la tête élargie 9 de la protubérence 8 peut aisément traverser les perforations du profilé de soutien.Thanks to the presence of these elongated orifices, the enlarged head 9 of the protuberance 8 can easily pass through the perforations of the support profile.

Les petits modèles peuvent se contenter d'une seule protubérence. Dans d'autres formes d'exécution, deux protubérences de l'espèce sont prévues.Small models can be satisfied with a single protuberance. In other embodiments, two protuberances of the species are provided.

Grâce à la structure de l'embout selon l'invention, une liaison solide et indefectible se réalise entre une latte et un profilé de support. Il est entendu que des modifications pourraient être apportées à l'invention sans sortir du cadre de la présente demande de brevet.Thanks to the structure of the end piece according to the invention, a solid and unbreakable connection is produced between a slat and a support profile. It is understood that modifications could be made to the invention without departing from the scope of the present patent application.
