Abstract

The clip comprises at least two superimposed tabs (7, 8) cut out of a flat sheet (1) and bent up onto the front faces of two superimposed cladding panels (tiles). The cutouts (3, 4-5, 6) are carried out in such a way that the exposed parts (8) of the two tabs are vertically aligned but the areas adjacent (10) to the cutouts are offset laterally to avoid loss of strength in the flat sheet. <IMAGE>

Description

L'invention concerne un dispositif pour fixer sur un mur un revêtement formé de plaques sensiblement rectangulaires juxtaposées et superposées, comprenant une platine en tôle disposée sensiblement dans un plan vertical parallèle au mur, dans laquelle sont découpées deux languettes qui sont repliées en avant du plan de la platine pour former chacune une patte de recouvrement écartée de ce plan et un pontet raccordant la patte de recouvrement à la platine, les pontets s'étendant sensiblement dans des plans horizontaux superposés et les pattes de recouvrement s'écartant l'une de l'autre respectivement vers le haut et vers le bas à partir des pontets de façon à recouvrir partiellement deux plaques de revêtement superposées respectivement.The invention relates to a device for fixing on a wall a covering formed of substantially rectangular plates juxtaposed and superimposed, comprising a sheet metal plate arranged substantially in a vertical plane parallel to the wall, in which are cut two tabs which are folded in front of the plane of the plate to each form a covering tab spaced from this plane and a bridge connecting the covering tab to the plate, the bridges extending substantially in superimposed horizontal planes and the covering tabs deviating from one of the 'other respectively up and down from the bridges so as to partially cover two overlapping cladding plates respectively.

De tels dispositifs, appelés agrafes, sont couramment utilisés pour réaliser des revêtements notamment à base de carrelage, de plaques de verre, de panneaux composites, de stratifiés ou de fibrociment. Ils comportent généralement deux paires de languettes découpées dans la platine, les pattes de recouvrement des deux paires étant décalées les unes par rapport aux autres dans la direction latérale de façon à recouvrir respectivement quatre plaques de revêtement adjacentes au voisinage des angles de celles-ci.Such devices, called staples, are commonly used to produce coatings, in particular based on tiles, glass plates, composite panels, laminates or fiber cement. They generally comprise two pairs of tabs cut out from the plate, the covering tabs of the two pairs being offset with respect to each other in the lateral direction so as to cover respectively four covering plates adjacent to the corners thereof.

Ces agrafes connues sont de deux types. Dans un premier type, les découpes réalisées dans la platine pour former les deux languettes sont alignées l'une au-dessus de l'autre en laissant subsister entre elles dans la platine une bande de matière dont la largeur correspond à la distance entre les plans horizontaux des pontets et par conséquent à l'écartement entre deux plaques de revêtement superposées. Pour éviter une fragilité excessive de la platine, cette distance ne peut pratiquement être inférieure à 8 mm. Ceci est gênant à la fois du point de vue esthétique et en ce qui concerne la continuité du revêtement.These known staples are of two types. In a first type, the cuts made in the plate to form the two tongues are aligned one above the other, leaving a band of material between them in the plate, the width of which corresponds to the distance between the planes horizontal bridges and therefore the spacing between two overlapping cover plates. To avoid excessive brittleness of the plate, this distance cannot practically be less than 8 mm. This is inconvenient both from an aesthetic point of view and with regard to the continuity of the coating.

Dans le second type, les deux découpes superposées sont décalées l'une par rapport à l'autre dans la direction latérale, ce qui permet de rapprocher les plans des pontets, qui peuvent le cas échéant être confondus. Mais le décalage latéral des pattes de recouvrement qui en résulte est lui aussi inesthétique.In the second type, the two overlapping cutouts are offset from each other in the lateral direction, which allows the plans of the bridges to be brought together, which can be confused if necessary. But the lateral offset of the covering tabs which results therefrom is also unsightly.

Par ailleurs, la platine des agrafes connue est entièrement plane, et les pattes de recouvrement appliquent élastiquement les plaques de revêtement sur la face avant plane de la platine. La longueur des pontets doit donc correspondre à l'épaisseur des plaques de revêtement, qui peut varier par exemple de 4 mm pour les stratifiés à plus de 11 mm pour le carrelage. Les agrafes destinées à différentes épaisseurs de revêtements doivent donc être réalisées au moyen d'outillages différents.Furthermore, the known staple plate is entirely flat, and the covering tabs apply the covering plates elastically to the flat front face of the plate. The length of the bridges must therefore correspond to the thickness of the covering plates, which can vary for example from 4 mm for laminates to more than 11 mm for tiling. The staples intended for different thicknesses of coatings must therefore be produced using different tools.

De plus, des variations d'épaisseurs d'une plaque de revêtement à l'autre entraînent un désaffleurement disgracieux.In addition, variations in thickness from one cover plate to another result in an unsightly mismatch.

Le but de l'invention est de remédier à ces inconvénients.The object of the invention is to remedy these drawbacks.

A cet effet, selon l'invention, dans un dispositif du type défini en introduction et dans lequel les pattes de recouvrement sont sensiblement alignées l'une au-dessus de l'autre, les pontets sont inclinés en sens inverse l'un de l'autre par rapport au plan de la platine de façon à se raccorder à celle-ci respectivement en des zones décalées l'une par rapport à l'autre dans la direction latérale.To this end, according to the invention, in a device of the type defined in the introduction and in which the covering tabs are substantially aligned one above the other, the bridges are inclined in opposite directions one of the other with respect to the plane of the plate so as to connect to it respectively in zones offset from one another in the lateral direction.

Des caractéristiques optionnelles avantageuses de l'invention sont énoncées ci-après :

  • Les pattes de recouvrement sont disposées sensiblement dans un même plan vertical et des moyens élastiques sont prévus pour appliquer la face avant de chaque plaque de revêtement contre la patte de recouvrement correspondante.
  • Lesdits moyens élastiques sont constitués par des tronçons superposés des régions marginales latérales de la platine qui sont repliés vers l'avant du plan de celle-ci.
  • Le dispositif comprend en outre un élément de liaison solidaire de la platine et s'étendant selon un plan vertical perpendiculaire au mur, et propre à être monté sur un support fixé au mur.
  • La platine et l'élément de liaison sont formées d'une seule pièce en tôle, l'élément de liaison étant constitué par deux portions de tôle accolées raccordées entre elles par une ligne verticale de pliage à 180° formant le bord arrière de l'élément de liaison et qui sont raccordées respectivement par des lignes verticales de pliage à 90° à deux autres portions constituant respectivement les moitiés gauche et droite de la platine.
  • Le support comprend une première pièce propre à être immobilisée sur le mur et une seconde pièce recevant l'élément de liaison et pouvant se monter sur la première pièce en une position réglable dans la direction perpendiculaire au mur.
  • Un matériau thermiquement isolant est interposé entre les faces en regard des première et seconde pièces du support.
Advantageous optional features of the invention are set out below:
  • The cover tabs are arranged substantially in the same vertical plane and elastic means are provided for applying the front face of each covering plate against the corresponding cover tab.
  • Said elastic means consist of superimposed sections of the lateral marginal regions of the plate which are folded towards the front of the plane of the latter.
  • The device further comprises a connecting element integral with the plate and extending along a vertical plane perpendicular to the wall, and suitable for being mounted on a support fixed to the wall.
  • The plate and the connecting element are formed in a single piece of sheet metal, the connecting element being constituted by two portions of joined sheet metal joined together by a vertical line of folding at 180 ° forming the rear edge of the connecting element and which are connected respectively by vertical lines of folding at 90 ° to two other portions constituting respectively the left and right halves of the plate.
  • The support comprises a first part suitable for being immobilized on the wall and a second part receiving the connecting element and capable of being mounted on the first part in an adjustable position in the direction perpendicular to the wall.
  • A thermally insulating material is interposed between the facing faces of the first and second parts of the support.

  • la figure 4 est une vue analogue à la figure 3, relative à un autre exemple ; et
  • la figure 5 est une vue en coupe selon la ligne V-V de la figure 4.
Other characteristics and advantages of the invention will appear on examining the detailed description below, and the appended drawings, in which:
  • Figures 1, 2 and 3 are respectively front, top and perspective views of a first embodiment of a device according to the invention;
  • Figure 4 is a view similar to Figure 3, relating to another example; and
  • FIG. 5 is a sectional view along the line VV in FIG. 4.

Le dispositif des figures 1 à 3 est une agrafe constituée par une pièce unique en tôle élastique, comprenant une platine 1 s'étendant dans un plan, qui dans la position d'utilisation illustrée aux figures 1 et 3 est vertical, à l'exception de ses régions marginales latérales 2, comme décrit plus en détail ci-après. Quatre découpes 3, 4, 5, 6 sont pratiquées dans la platine 1, à distance du bord périphérique de celle-ci, pour former des languettes comprenant chacune un pontet horizontal 7 et une patte de recouvrement sensiblement verticale 8, qui sont repliées vers l'avant par rapport au plan de la platine, c'est-à-dire à l'opposé du mur à revêtir. La découpe 3 est disposée sensiblement au-dessus de la découpe 4 dans la moitié gauche de la platine, et la découpe 5 au-dessus de la découpe 6 dans la moitié droite. Les découpes 3 et 4 ont une forme identique, décrite en détail ci-après à l'aide de la figure 6, et sont disposées symétriquement l'une de l'autre par rapport à un point C situé entre les plans des pontets 7, les découpes 5 et 6 étant symétriques des découpes 3 et 4 respectivement par rapport à un plan vertical P de symétrie de l'agrafe.The device of FIGS. 1 to 3 is a clip constituted by a single piece of elastic sheet metal, comprising a plate 1 extending in a plane, which in the position of use illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 3 is vertical, with the exception of its lateral marginal regions 2, as described in more detail below. Four cutouts 3, 4, 5, 6 are made in the plate 1, at a distance from the peripheral edge of the latter, to form tongues each comprising a horizontal bridge 7 and a substantially vertical cover tab 8, which are folded towards the 'front relative to the plane of the plate, that is to say opposite the wall to be coated. The cutout 3 is arranged substantially above the cutout 4 in the left half of the plate, and the cutout 5 above the cutout 6 in the right half. The cuts 3 and 4 have an identical shape, described in detail below with the aid of FIG. 6, and are arranged symmetrically with respect to one another at a point C located between the planes of the bridges 7, the cuts 5 and 6 being symmetrical with the cuts 3 and 4 respectively with respect to a vertical plane P of symmetry of the clip.

La forme de la découpe 3 est composée d'une partie supérieure rectangulaire 9 et d'une partie inférieure en forme de parallélogramme 10. La platine est découpée selon le côté supérieur horizontal 11 et les deux côtés latéraux 12 et 13 de la partie 9 et selon les deux côtés latéraux obliques 14 et 15 de la partie 10, dont le côté inférieur horizontal 16 n'est pas découpé et constitue une ligne de pliage à partir de laquelle s'étend le pontet 7. Les côtés 14 et 15 sont inclinés vers le bas et vers la droite à partir des côtés 12 et 13, de sorte que le côté 16 est décalé vers la droite par rapport à la partie 9. Le pontet 7 est formé par la matière déplacée à partir de la partie de découpe 10, et la patte 8 par la matière déplacée à partir de la partie 9, ces deux éléments étant raccordés entre eux par une ligne de pliage horizontale parallèle au côté 17 commun aux parties 9 et 10, qui est indiquée en trait interrompu à la figure 6.The shape of the cutout 3 is composed of a rectangular upper part 9 and a lower part in the shape of a parallelogram 10. The plate is cut along the horizontal upper side 11 and the two lateral sides 12 and 13 of the part 9 and along the two oblique lateral sides 14 and 15 of the part 10, the horizontal lower side 16 of which is not cut and forms a fold line from which the trigger guard 7 extends. The sides 14 and 15 are inclined towards down and to the right from the sides 12 and 13, so that the side 16 is offset to the right with respect to the part 9. The trigger guard 7 is formed by the material displaced from the cutting part 10, and the tab 8 by the material displaced from the part 9, these two elements being connected together by a horizontal fold line parallel to the side 17 common to the parts 9 and 10, which is indicated in broken lines in FIG. 6.

La partie rectangulaire inférieure 9 de la découpe 4 est alignée au-dessous de celle de la découpe 3, de sorte que la patte 8 associée à la découpe 4 est alignée au-dessous de la patte 8 associée à la découpe 3, tandis que le côté supérieur de la partie oblique 10 de la découpe 4 est décalé vers la gauche par rapport au côté 16, l'extrémité gauche 18 de ce dernier côté étant située à droite par rapport à l'extrémité droite 19 du premier. Il est donc possible de rapprocher les plans des pontets 7 sans affaiblir mécaniquement la platine, et sans qu'apparaisse un décalage latéral entre les pattes de recouvrement superposées.The lower rectangular part 9 of the blank 4 is aligned below that of the blank 3, so that the tab 8 associated with the blank 4 is aligned below the tab 8 associated with the blank 3, while the upper side of the oblique part 10 of the cutout 4 is shifted to the left by relative to side 16, the left end 18 of the latter side being located to the right relative to the right end 19 of the first. It is therefore possible to bring the planes of the bridges 7 closer without mechanically weakening the plate, and without a lateral offset appearing between the overlapping covering tabs.

Chacune des deux régions marginales latérales 2 de la platine 1 est divisée en deux tronçons dans la direction de la hauteur par une encoche horizontale 20, et est recourbée vers l'avant jusqu'à une distance e du plan des pattes de recouvrement 8 inférieure à l'épaisseur des plaques de revêtement à fixer. Lorsque celles-ci sont mises en place, chacune d'elles est appliquée contre l'une des pattes 8 par l'élasticité du tronçon correspondant d'une région marginale 2, ce qui assure une bonne planéité de la face avant du revêtement. La figure 2 montre en trait plein la région 2 de droite déformée élastiquement de façon à réaliser une distance e₁ et en trait interrompu cette même région 2 davantage déformée pour obtenir une distance e₂ supérieure à e₁. De telles déformations différentes sont provoquées par des plaques de revêtement d'épaisseurs différentes, pouvant varier par exemple de 4 à 11 mm environ. Des modifications apportées à un même outillage de base permettent si nécessaire de réaliser des agrafes pouvant recevoir des plaques encore plus minces ou plus épaisses.Each of the two lateral marginal regions 2 of the plate 1 is divided into two sections in the direction of the height by a horizontal notch 20, and is bent forward to a distance e from the plane of the covering tabs 8 less than the thickness of the covering plates to be fixed. When these are put in place, each of them is applied against one of the legs 8 by the elasticity of the corresponding section of a marginal region 2, which ensures good flatness of the front face of the coating. FIG. 2 shows in solid line the region 2 on the right elastically deformed so as to achieve a distance e₁ and in broken lines this same region 2 more deformed to obtain a distance e₂ greater than e₁. Such different deformations are caused by covering plates of different thicknesses, which can vary for example from 4 to 11 mm approximately. Modifications made to the same basic tool make it possible, if necessary, to produce staples which can receive even thinner or thicker plates.

Le dispositif des figures 4 et 5 présente des régions marginales 2, des découpes 3 à 6, des languettes 7, 8 et des encoches 20 identiques aux éléments correspondants du dispositif des figures 1 à 3. Il est réalisé à partir d'une bande de tôle pliée selon trois lignes verticales, à savoir une ligne 30 de pliage à 180° et deux lignes 31 et 32 de pliage à 90°. Entre la ligne 30 d'une part et les lignes 31 et 32 d'autre part sont définies deux portions de tôle accolées 33 et 34 respectivement. Deux autres portions de tôle 35 et 36 s'étendent dans un même plan vertical respectivement vers la gauche à partir de la ligne 31 et vers la droite à partir de la ligne 32, ces deux lignes étant elles-mêmes adjacentes, pour former les deux moitiés d'une platine dans lesquelles sont ménagées respectivement les découpes 3 et 4 et les découpes 5 et 6, et qui présentent chacune une région marginale 2 et une encoche 20. Les portions 33 et 34 forment un élément de liaison qui s'étend selon un plan vertical perpendiculaire au mur et qui est traversé par un trou 37 permettant de le monter de façon amovible et réglable en hauteur, de la manière décrite dans la Demande de Brevet No 91 11070, sur un support fixé au mur. Ce support peut comprendre une première pièce par exemple sous forme d'équerre propre à être immobilisée sur le mur et une seconde pièce recevant l'élément de liaison et pouvant se monter sur la première pièce en une position réglable dans la direction perpendiculaire au mur. D'autres détails sur ce mode de montage peuvent être trouvés dans la Demande de Brevet précitée, dont le contenu est incorporé par référence à la présente description.The device of FIGS. 4 and 5 has marginal regions 2, cutouts 3 to 6, tabs 7, 8 and notches 20 identical to the corresponding elements of the device of FIGS. 1 to 3. It is produced from a strip of sheet folded along three vertical lines, namely a line 30 of 180 ° folding and two lines 31 and 32 of 90 ° folding. Between line 30 on the one hand and lines 31 and 32 on the other hand, two adjoining sheet metal portions 33 and 34 are defined respectively. Two other portions of sheet metal 35 and 36 extend in the same vertical plane respectively to the left from line 31 and to the right from line 32, these two lines being themselves adjacent, to form the two halves of a plate in which the cutouts 3 and 4 are respectively provided and the cutouts 5 and 6, and which each have a marginal region 2 and a notch 20. The portions 33 and 34 form a connecting element which extends along a vertical plane perpendicular to the wall and which is crossed by a hole 37 making it possible to mount it removably and adjustable in height, as described in Patent Application No 91 11070, on a support fixed to the wall. This support may comprise a first part, for example in the form of a square suitable for being immobilized on the wall and a second part receiving the connecting element and capable of being mounted on the first part in an adjustable position in the direction perpendicular to the wall. Other details on this mounting method can be found in the aforementioned Patent Application, the content of which is incorporated by reference into the present description.

Avantageusement, un matériau thermiquement isolant est interposé entre les faces en regard des première et seconde pièces du support de façon à rompre le pont thermique formé par le dispositif de fixation.Advantageously, a thermally insulating material is interposed between the facing faces of the first and second parts of the support so as to break the thermal bridge formed by the fixing device.

L'élément de liaison 33, 34, 37 remplace des trous 21 percés dans la platine 1 de la figure 1 pour recevoir des clous ou des vis de fixation sur une ossature en bois, aluminium ou autre.
