Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne un nouveau système de cloison modulable et déformable, utilisable notamment pour la délimitation d'espaces personnalisés dans des ensembles mobiliers désignés généralement par "bureaux paysagés".The present invention relates to a new modular and deformable partition system, usable in particular for the delimitation of personalized spaces in furniture assemblies generally designated by "landscaped offices".
On connait déjà de nombreux systèmes de cloisons modulables destinés au même usage, mais tous ces systèmes présentent plusieurs inconvénients communs, à savoir leur absence d'élégance ou d'esthétique malgré leur prix élevé, leur manque de stabilité, et leur manque d'attrait, étant froids et rigides au toucher.We already know many modular partition systems for the same use, but all these systems have several common drawbacks, namely their lack of elegance or aesthetics despite their high price, their lack of stability, and their lack of attractiveness , being cold and rigid to the touch.
La présente invention vise à pallier l'ensemble de ces inconvénients grâce à un matériel simple, bon marché et agréable à l'usage.The present invention aims to overcome all of these drawbacks with a simple material, inexpensive and pleasant to use.
Ce matériel se compose essentiellement d'une âme plane constituée par une plaque de fibres agglomérées sur laquelle est enfilé du haut vers le bas, une housse unique réalisée en feuille de matière spongieuse, mince et souple comportant un surfaçage décoratif, ladite housse étant enfilée sur ladite âme par dessus un premier encadrement, dit intérieur, de ladite âme au moyen de profilés en matière plastique comportant latéralement des rainures longitudinales dans lesquelles viennent s'accrocher des profilés constituant un second encadrement, dit extérieur, en y immobilisant simultanément, par pincement, ladite housse.This material essentially consists of a flat core constituted by a plate of agglomerated fibers on which is threaded from top to bottom, a single cover made of a sheet of spongy, thin and flexible material comprising a decorative surfacing, said cover being threaded onto said core over a first frame, said interior, of said core by means of plastic profiles having laterally longitudinal grooves in which come to hang profiles constituting a second frame, said exterior, by immobilizing there simultaneously, by pinching, said cover.
On connait déjà par le document US-A-4.068.700 un panneau destiné au même usage, et se composant d'une âme plane délimitée par un encadrement formé d'une série de profilés enserrant le pourtour de cette âme et eux-mêmes couplés avec des profilés à surface extérieure cylindrique, l'ensemble étant complètement recouvert de panneaux d'étoffe décorative appliqués respectivement sur les faces planes de l'âme et lesdites surfaces cylindriques. Une telle structure impose, pour l'application de ces panneaux, une main d'oeuvre et une durée de travail relativement importants et coûteux.Document US-A-4,068,700 already discloses a panel intended for the same use, and consisting of a flat core delimited by a frame formed by a series of profiles enclosing the periphery of this core and themselves coupled with profiles with cylindrical outer surface, the assembly being completely covered with panels of decorative fabric applied respectively to the flat faces of the core and said cylindrical surfaces. Such a structure requires, for the application of these panels, a relatively large and costly labor and working time.
Cet inconvénient est éliminé selon l'invention, par le nouveau panneau qui ne comporte pour sa fabrication que l'enfilage de la housse unique pardessus l'ensemble de l'âme et de son encadrement, dit intérieur, et l'immobilisation de cette housse par accrochage d'un second encadrement, dit extérieur dans des rainures de l'encadrement intérieur, par dessus ladite housse, en immobilisant cette dernière par pincement.This drawback is eliminated according to the invention, by the new panel which comprises for its manufacture only the threading of the single cover over the whole of the core and its frame, said interior, and the immobilization of this cover by attaching a second frame, said exterior in grooves of the interior frame, over said cover, immobilizing the latter by pinching.
Outre cette particularité essentielle, l'invention présente des caractères subsidiaires originaux :In addition to this essential feature, the invention has original subsidiary characteristics:
Ainsi, lesdits profilés d'encadrement extérieur sont réunis, à chaque angle du panneau par une pièce moulée comportant des tétons perpendiculaires entre eux et venant s'insérer respectivement dans les extrémités desdits profilés.Thus, said external framing profiles are joined, at each corner of the panel, by a molded part comprising studs perpendicular to each other and coming to be inserted respectively in the ends of said profiles.
Dans ce cas, aux angles inférieurs, ladite pièce d'assemblage angulaire comporte un filetage pour le montage d'un pied sur un vérin à vis.In this case, at the lower corners, said angular assembly part includes a thread for mounting a foot on a screw jack.
Par ailleurs, lesdits profilés d'encadrement extérieur comportent le long du milieu de leurs faces extérieures une rainure destinée à recevoir, respectivement, une bande souple d'assemblage pour les profilés verticaux ou une nervure solidaire d'un piétement pour le profilé horizontal inférieur, ce piétement assurant la stabilité du panneau, qu'il soit considéré individuellement ou assemblé à d'autres.Furthermore, said external framing profiles comprise along the middle of their external faces a groove intended to receive, respectively, a flexible assembly strip for the vertical profiles or a rib secured to a base for the lower horizontal profile, this base ensuring the stability of the panel, whether considered individually or assembled with others.
Enfin, il est prévu, toujours selon l'invention que le bord inférieur de la housse est immobilisé par pincement dans une rainure médiane extérieure du profilé d'encadrement intérieur / inférieur, au moyen d'un jonc inséré à force avec lesdits bords dans ladite rainure.Finally, it is provided, still according to the invention, that the lower edge of the cover is immobilized by pinching in an outer median groove of the inner / lower framing profile, by means of a rod inserted by force with said edges in said groove.
Les profilés d'encadrement extérieur ainsi que les pièces d'angle moulées peuvent être réalisés indifféremment en métal ou en matière plastique.The outer frame profiles as well as the molded corner pieces can be made either of metal or plastic.
Pour illustrer l'invention, on va en décrire un exemple de réalisation, avec référence au dessin annexé sur lequel :To illustrate the invention, an embodiment will be described therewith, with reference to the appended drawing in which:
La figure 1 est une vue en plan d'un exemple de réalisation de l'invention, comportant un panneau en fibres agglomérées délimité par des profilés en PVC.Figure 1 is a plan view of an exemplary embodiment of the invention, comprising a panel of agglomerated fibers delimited by PVC profiles.
Les figures 2, 3 et 4 sont des coupes partielles, respectivement le long de II-II,III-III et IV-IV de la figure 1.Figures 2, 3 and 4 are partial sections, respectively along II-II, III-III and IV-IV of Figure 1.
La figure 5 est une coupe partielle horizontale de l'assemblage latéral entre deux panneaux contigus selon les figures 1-4 précédentes.Figure 5 is a partial horizontal section of the lateral connection between two contiguous panels according to Figures 1-4 above.
La figure 6 est une vue en perspective d'un élément d'assemblage d'angle de l'encadrement d'un panneau selon l'invention.Figure 6 is a perspective view of a corner assembly element of the frame of a panel according to the invention.
La figure 7 illustre un système de piétement pour ces panneaux.Figure 7 illustrates a pedestal system for these panels.
Enfin, la figure 8 est une coupe verticale du bas d'un panneau selon l'invention reposant partiellement sur un piétement tel que représenté à la figure 7 et partiellement sur un vérin à vis.Finally, Figure 8 is a vertical section of the bottom of a panel according to the invention partially based on a base as shown in Figure 7 and partially on a screw jack.
Ainsi qu'on le voit sur les figures 1 à 5, le panneau selon l'invention se compose essentiellement d'une âme A et d'un encadrement C.As seen in Figures 1 to 5, the panel according to the invention essentially consists of a core A and a frame C.
L'âme A se compose d'une plaque de fibres agglomérées 23, sur laquelle est simplement enfilée par le haut, à la manière d'une housse, une gaine 24 constituée par une feuille spongieuse mince surfacée par un motif décoratif. Pour permettre la mise en place et l'accrochage du cadre C, la plaque 23 doit être entourée, préalablement à l'enfilage de la housse 24, de profilés intérieurs 25 en matière plastique, par exemple en PVC, ayant la forme de double U, accolés par leur base, les branches de l'un des U 26 venant pincer le bord de la plaque 23, tandis que les branches du U opposé 27 sont plus rapprochées et présentent des rebords extérieurs 28 et intérieurs 33, ce qui crée, à l'extérieur de ce U, deux canaux 29, destinés à recevoir les branches des profilés extérieurs 10 et 44 qui sont ainsi accrochés à l'âme tout en maintenant la gaine 24 dans le fond de chaque canal.The core A consists of a plate of agglomerated
Si l'on considère que la housse 24 constitue un sac, fermé à son extrémité supérieure et enfilé sur la plaque 23 par le haut, sur les deux côtés verticaux et sur le bord supérieur, les deux faces de cette gaine sont réunies par un segment continu 30 sur les bords verticaux (figure 2) et 30' sur le bord supérieur (figure 5). Par contre le bord inférieur 34 de la housse est libre. Pour le retenir, il est prévu de le refouler de chaque côté dans le fond de la face extérieure du U 27 correspondant du profilé 25 inférieur au moyen d'un jonc 31 en matière plastique présentant deux rainures longitudinales 32, pratiquées sur l'intérieur des ailes du U 27 (voir figure 3). Bien entendu, comme on le voit sur la figure 4, le profilé supérieur en plastique 35 a une section légèrement différente pour recevoir simplement les rebords du profilé supérieur 36.If we consider that the
La figure 2 illustre l'assemblage latéral par une bande souple 40 de deux panneaux contigus P1, P2, du type représenté à la figure 2.FIG. 2 illustrates the lateral assembly by a
Comme on le voit également par les zones hachurées sur les figures 2 à 5, les coins du panneau sont renforcés par des pièces d'angle, servant également au montage des pieds 41.As can also be seen from the hatched areas in FIGS. 2 to 5, the corners of the panel are reinforced by corner pieces, also used for mounting the
Enfin, on a représenté à la figure 7 un exemple de piétement destiné à assurer le maintien stable en position verticale d'un ou plusieurs panneaux, même quand ces panneaux sont soit individuels, soit complètement alignés.Finally, FIG. 7 shows an example of a base intended to ensure stable maintenance in a vertical position of one or more panels, even when these panels are either individual or completely aligned.
Ce piétement se compose d'une plaque plane 41 en un matériau lourd, présentant une nervure verticale rectiligne 42 ayant approximativement la largeur de la rainure extérieure 43 du profilé 44 délimitant la base horizontale d'un panneau (voir figure 3).This base consists of a
De préférence, la hauteur h₁ de la pièce 41 avec cette nervure 42 est supérieure à la hauteur h₂ d'un pied ou vérin 18 à l'état complètement rentré par vissage dans la pièce d'angle 22.Preferably, the height h₁ of the
Si l'on considère la figure 8, on voit que la nervure 42 du piétement, pénétrant sur toute sa longueur dans la rainure médiane 43 du profilé inférieur 44, la plaque 41 est positionnée symétriquement par rapport à la base du panneau. La vis 18 est mise en place dans la pièce d'angle 22 par vissage après avoir traversé une lumière 45 pratiquée à une extrémité de la plaque 41 (voir figure 7) et elle est vissée à fond, c'est-à-dire contre la face inférieure de ladite plaque 41, ce qui verrouille le piétement contre le bas du panneau, la vis 18 étant alors légèrement au dessus du sol.If we consider Figure 8, we see that the
Comme illustré à la figure 8, un tel piétement n'est monté qu'à une extrémité de la base d'un panneau, l'autre extrémité reposant sur le sol par la vis 18 vissée dans la pièce 22 au degré désiré. On peut ainsi considérer que le panneau repose sur le sol par trois points, à savoir les deux angles 46 de la plaque 41 opposés à la lumière 45 et la vis opposée 18 qui permet en même temps le réglage en hauteur et en inclinaison du panneau.As illustrated in FIG. 8, such a base is only mounted at one end of the base of a panel, the other end resting on the ground by the
La présence d'un tel piétement stabilisateur assure ainsi le maintien en position debout sur trois points d'un panneau individuel. Toutefois, le panneau selon l'invention est essentiellement destiné à créer des cloisons comportant plusieurs panneaux articulés les uns aux autres suivant un motif sinueux. Dans ce cas, le piétement n'est utile qu'aux extrémités extérieures des panneaux terminaux, l'appui des panneaux intermédiaires se faisant uniquement par les vérins 18 respectifs répartis sur le sol en fonction des méandres de la cloison d'ensemble. Si pourtant ladite cloison d'ensemble était trop rectiligne, il peut être souhaitable de compléter l'effet de stabilisation des extrémités par un ou plusieurs stabilisateurs additionnels adaptés à des panneaux intermédiaires.The presence of such a stabilizing base thus ensures the standing position at three points of an individual panel. However, the panel according to the invention is essentially intended to create partitions comprising several panels hinged to each other in a sinuous pattern. In this case, the base is only useful at the outer ends of the end panels, the support of the intermediate panels being made only by the
