Description

La présente invention concerne un ensemble de profilés pour la confection de garde-corps, de mains courantes de rampes d'escalier, etc.The present invention relates to a set of profiles for making railings, handrails for stair railings, etc.

L'ensemble de profilés de l'invention peut être utilisé pour la confection de rampes d'escalier mais également pour la confection de garde-corps ou de tout autre assemblage équivalent. Néanmoins, pour illustrer l'invention à partir d'une application concrète, la suite de la description se limitera aux rampes d'escalier, étant entendu qu'elle ne se limite pas à cette application particulière.The set of profiles of the invention can be used for making stair railings but also for making railings or any other equivalent assembly. However, to illustrate the invention from a concrete application, the following description will be limited to stair railings, it being understood that it is not limited to this particular application.

Les rampes d'escalier sont généralement constituées d'une main courante en plusieurs parties linéaires, assemblées entre elles et reposant sur les extrémités supérieures de balustres.Stair railings generally consist of a handrail in several linear parts, assembled together and resting on the upper ends of balusters.

Les parties linéaires peuvent être constituées de tubes et elles sont reliées entre elles par l'intermédiaire d'une pièce de liaison à laquelle, pour assurer une meilleure rigidité de la main courante, elles sont fixées, par exemple, au moyen de vis ou de rivets. La main courante est également fixée aux balustres au moyen de vis ou de rivets.The linear parts may consist of tubes and they are connected to each other by means of a connecting piece to which, to ensure better rigidity of the handrail, they are fixed, for example, by means of screws or rivets. The handrail is also fixed to the balusters by means of screws or rivets.

L'inconvénient de tels systèmes de main courante réside dans le fait que les systèmes de fixation, notamment des vis ou des rivets, des parties linéaires de main courante et des balustres sont visibles après montage, ce qui nuit à l'esthétique de la rampe d'escalier.The disadvantage of such handrail systems lies in the fact that the fastening systems, in particular screws or rivets, linear handrail parts and balusters are visible after mounting, which affects the aesthetics of the ramp. staircase.

Un but de l'invention est donc de proposer un ensemble de profilés qui peut être utilisé comme partie de main courante d'une rampe d'escalier et à laquelle peuvent venir se fixer des balustres et des pièces de liaison sans que les moyens de fixation utilisés soient visibles après montage.An object of the invention is therefore to propose a set of profiles which can be used as part of the handrail of a stair railing and to which balusters and connecting pieces can be fixed without the fixing means used are visible after mounting.

Un autre but de l'invention est de proposer un ensemble de profilés qui permette la confection de rampes d'escalier ou de garde-corps de toute dimension et de toute forme.Another object of the invention is to propose a set of profiles which allows the making of stair railings or railings of any size and any shape.

Un autre but de l'invention est de proposer un ensemble de profilés qui puisse être réalisé, de manière connue en soit, par laminage.Another object of the invention is to propose a set of profiles which can be produced, in a known manner, by rolling.

A cet effet, un ensemble selon l'invention est remarquable en ce qu'il comporte un profilé en forme de U pour un corps principal et un profilé pour un couvercle prévu pour venir chapeauter le corps principal, ledit corps principal étant pourvu de moyens qui définissent un cylindre à l'intérieur du profilé du corps principal destiné à recevoir les parties cylindriques des pièces de liaison reliant des mains courantes entre elles.To this end, an assembly according to the invention is remarkable in that it comprises a U-shaped profile for a main body and a profile for a cover intended to come to cap the main body, said main body being provided with means which define a cylinder inside the profile of the main body intended to receive the cylindrical parts of the connecting parts connecting handrails together.

Selon une autre caractéristique, lesdits moyens sont constitués d'au moins deux parties dont la section est en arc de cercle et qui se trouvent de part et d'autre d'un plan radial qui passe par le fond du profilé du corps principal et d'au moins un autre moyen pour définir ledit cylindre.According to another characteristic, said means consist of at least two parts whose section is in an arc of a circle and which are on either side of a radial plane which passes through the bottom of the profile of the main body and d at least one other means for defining said cylinder.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, lesdites parties en arc de cercle sont montées sur le corps principal par l'intermédiaire de pattes sensiblement radiales.According to another characteristic of the invention, said parts in an arc are mounted on the main body by means of substantially radial lugs.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, ledit autre moyen est constitué d'au moins deux pattes radiales situées de part et d'autre d'un même plan radial passant par le fond du profilé du corps, les extrémités desdites pattes appartenant audit cylindre.According to another characteristic of the invention, said other means consists of at least two radial tabs located on either side of the same radial plane passing through the bottom of the profile of the body, the ends of said tabs belonging to said cylinder .

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, la partie inférieure du corps principal a ses extrémités qui comportent, tournés vers l'extérieur dudit corps, des ergots radiaux destinés à pénétrer dans des rainures radiales prévues, aux extrémités du profilé du couvercle, sur la surface intérieure dudit profilé.According to another characteristic of the invention, the lower part of the main body has its ends which comprise, turned towards the outside of said body, radial lugs intended to penetrate into radial grooves provided, at the ends of the profile of the cover, on the inner surface of said profile.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, les extrémités dudit profilé de couvercle sont biseautées, côté intérieur dudit couvercle.According to another characteristic of the invention, the ends of said cover profile are bevelled on the inside of said cover.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le profilé de couvercle est pourvu, pour chacune des rainures et, côté intérieur du couvercle, d'un taquet longitudinal sensiblement radial dont une face prolonge la face latérale de la rainure correspondante.According to another characteristic of the invention, the cover profile is provided, for each of the grooves and, on the inside of the cover, with a substantially radial longitudinal cleat, one face of which extends the lateral face of the corresponding groove.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, la partie inférieure du corps principal a ses extrémités qui sont prolongées de parties courtes en retrait sensiblement d'une épaisseur du profilé.According to another characteristic of the invention, the lower part of the main body has its ends which are extended by short parts set back substantially of a thickness of the profile.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, la hauteur desdites parties courtes est telle que le couvercle ne les recouvre que partiellement lorsqu'il est monté sur le corps.According to another characteristic of the invention, the height of said short parts is such that the cover only partially covers them when it is mounted on the body.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le corps comporte des rainures longitudinales formant des lignes de moindre résistance le long du profilé.According to another characteristic of the invention, the body has longitudinal grooves forming lines of least resistance along the profile.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, lesdites rainures longitudinales se trouvent à la base des pattes radiales du corps.According to another characteristic of the invention, said longitudinal grooves are located at the base of the radial lugs of the body.

Les caractéristiques de l'invention mentionnées ci-dessus, ainsi que d'autres, apparaîtront plus clairement à la lecture de la description suivante d'un exemple de réalisation, ladite description étant faite en relation avec les dessins joints, parmi lesquels:

  • la Fig. 1 est une vue de face d'une rampe d'escalier équipée de profilés selon l'invention,
  • la Fig. 2 est une vue en coupe selon un plan médian d'une pièce de liaison selon l'invention, et
  • les Figs. 3a et 3b sont des vues représentant les sections de profilés selon l'invention, le profilé de couvercle n'étant pas monté sur son corps principal à la Fig. 3a et l'étant à la Fig. 3b.
The characteristics of the invention mentioned above, as well as others, will appear more clearly on reading the following description of an exemplary embodiment, said description being made in relation to the accompanying drawings, among which:
  • Fig. 1 is a front view of a stair railing fitted with profiles according to the invention,
  • Fig. 2 is a sectional view along a median plane of a connecting piece according to the invention, and
  • Figs. 3a and 3b are views showing the sections of sections according to the invention, the cover section not being mounted on its main body in FIG. 3a and being in FIG. 3b.

La rampe d'escalier représentée à la Fig. 1 comprend deux mains courantes 1 et 2 reliées entre elles par une pièce de liaison 3. Elle comprend encore des balustres 4 dont on ne voit que la partie supérieure.The stair rail shown in Fig. 1 includes two handrails 1 and 2 connected together by a connecting piece 3. It also includes balusters 4 of which only the upper part is seen.

Les balustres 4 sont fixés sur les mains courantes 1 et 2, par exemple au moyen de vis ou de rivets 41 (représentés à la Fig. 3b).The balusters 4 are fixed to the handrails 1 and 2, for example by means of screws or rivets 41 (shown in Fig. 3b).

La pièce de liaison 3 est représentée en détail à la Fig. 2. Elle comprend une boule sphérique 30 solidaire d'un flasque fixe 31 et à laquelle vient se fixer, par une vis 32, un flasque amovible 33. Les deux flasques 31 et 33 sont disposés ici à 90° l'un de l'autre autour de la boule 30, mais cet angle pourrait être différent et est adapté à la géométrie de la rampe d'escalier à réaliser. Les flasques 31 et 33 présentent des parties cylindriques 34 et 35 respectivement destinées à pénétrer dans les mains courantes 1 et 2. Chaque main courante 1 ou 2 est fixée sur la partie cylindrique correspondante 34 ou 35 de la pièce 3, par exemple au moyen de vis ou de rivets 41 (représentés à la Fig. 3b)The connecting piece 3 is shown in detail in FIG. 2. It comprises a spherical ball 30 secured to a fixed flange 31 and to which is fixed, by a screw 32, a removable flange 33. The two flanges 31 and 33 are arranged here at 90 ° one of the another around the ball 30, but this angle could be different and is adapted to the geometry of the stair rail to be produced. The flanges 31 and 33 have cylindrical parts 34 and 35 respectively intended to penetrate into the handrails 1 and 2. Each handrail 1 or 2 is fixed to the corresponding cylindrical part 34 or 35 of the part 3, for example by means of screws or rivets 41 (shown in Fig. 3b)

Aux Figs. 3a et 3b, on a représenté les sections des profilés servant à la confection des mains courantes 1 et 2. Le profilé 10 constitue le corps principal de la main courante. Il est chapeauté par un profilé 20 qui constitue un couvercle. Le corps principal 10 et le couvercle 20 sont des profilés d'épaisseur sensiblement constante.In Figs. 3a and 3b, the sections of the sections used for making the handrails 1 and 2 are shown. The section 10 constitutes the main body of the handrail. It is capped by a profile 20 which constitutes a cover. The main body 10 and the cover 20 are profiles of substantially constant thickness.

Le corps principal 10 a une section générale en forme de U. Sa partie inférieure 11 a sa section, dans l'exemple de réalisation représenté, qui est en arc de cercle, d'angle approximativement égal à 180°. Le fond 12 du corps principal 10 est avantageusement plat, pour pouvoir recevoir, comme on le verra par la suite, des têtes de vis de fixation des balustres 4.The main body 10 has a general U-shaped section. Its lower part 11 has its section, in the illustrated embodiment, which is in an arc of a circle, with an angle approximately equal to 180 °. The bottom 12 of the main body 10 is advantageously flat, so as to be able to receive, as will be seen below, heads of screws for fixing the balusters 4.

La partie inférieure 11 est prolongée, à chacune de ses extrémités et en retrait sensiblement d'une épaisseur du profilé, par de courtes parties 13. A l'extrémité de ces dernières, sont prévus, tournés vers l'extérieur du corps 10, des ergots radiaux 14 courant, par exemple, sur toute la longueur du profilé.The lower part 11 is extended, at each of its ends and set back substantially by a thickness of the profile, by short parts 13. At the end of the latter, there are provided, turned towards the outside of the body 10, radial pins 14 running, for example, over the entire length of the profile.

Le profilé du couvercle 20 représenté aux Figs. 3a et 3b est constitué d'une partie 21 qui a une section, dans l'exemple de réalisation représenté, en arc de cercle. Sensiblement aux extrémités de cette partie, sur la surface intérieure du couvercle 20, sont prévues des rainures longitudinales 22. Les rainures 22 ont une largeur telle qu'elles puissent respectivement recevoir les ergots 14 du corps principal 10. Ainsi, le couvercle 20 peut être monté sur le corps principal 10 et y être maintenu.The profile of the cover 20 shown in Figs. 3a and 3b consists of a part 21 which has a section, in the embodiment shown, in an arc. Longitudinal grooves 22 are provided at the ends of this part, on the inner surface of the cover 20. The grooves 22 have a width such that they can respectively receive the lugs 14 of the main body 10. Thus, the cover 20 can be mounted on the main body 10 and be maintained there.

Les extrémités 23 du couvercle 20 sont biseautées intérieurement afin de faciliter son montage sur le corps 10 par simple pression radiale.The ends 23 of the cover 20 are internally bevelled in order to facilitate its mounting on the body 10 by simple radial pressure.

Sur la face intérieure du couvercle 20, on a prévu, pour chacune des rainures 22 et côté intérieur du couvercle 20, un taquet longitudinal 24 sensiblement radial dont une face prolonge la face latérale correspondante de la rainure 22. Ils sont destinés, lors du montage du couvercle 20 sur le corps 10, à entrer en contact avec la surface d'extrémité 13a des courtes parties 13 du corps 10 et ainsi former des butées contrariant, plus efficacement que les seules faces latérales des rainures 22 qu'ils prolongent, la pénétration du couvercle 20 sur le corps 10.On the inner face of the cover 20, there is provided, for each of the grooves 22 and inner side of the cover 20, a substantially radial longitudinal stop 24, one face of which extends the corresponding lateral face of the groove 22. They are intended, during assembly of the cover 20 on the body 10, to come into contact with the end surface 13a of the short parts 13 of the body 10 and thus form opposing stops, more effectively than the only lateral faces of the grooves 22 which they extend, the penetration of the cover 20 on the body 10.

Lorsque le couvercle 20 est monté sur le corps principal 10, du fait que les parties courtes 13 sont en retrait de sensiblement une épaisseur du profilé, la surface externe 25 du couvercle 20 appartient au même cylindre que celui qui contient la surface externe 15 du corps 10.When the cover 20 is mounted on the main body 10, because the short parts 13 are set back substantially from the thickness of the profile, the external surface 25 of the cover 20 belongs to the same cylinder as that which contains the external surface 15 of the body 10.

On notera qu'un fois monté sur le corps 10, le couvercle 20 ne couvre que partiellement les parties courtes 13 (voir Fig. 3b). En effet, les parties courtes 13 sont plus hautes que la distance qui sépare la face inférieure de chaque taquet 24 de l'extrémité correspondante du couvercle 20. Il y a donc formation de rainures longitudinales 30 qui apportent une note esthétique à la main courante. Cependant l'avantage qui résulte des rainures 30 réside essentiellement dans le fait de ne pas être obligé de prévoir des cotes précises pour les extrémités du couvercle 20 et pour la position des parties 13 sur le corps 10.Note that once mounted on the body 10, the cover 20 only partially covers the short parts 13 (see Fig. 3b). Indeed, the short parts 13 are higher than the distance which separates the lower face of each cleat 24 from the corresponding end of the cover 20. There is therefore formation of longitudinal grooves 30 which bring an aesthetic note to the handrail. However, the advantage which results from the grooves 30 essentially resides in the fact of not being obliged to provide precise dimensions for the ends of the cover 20 and for the position of the parts 13 on the body 10.

Sur le corps principal 10, sont montées des parties 16 de section en arc de cercle de même centre que le centre de la partie inférieure 11 du corps 10, mais de rayon inférieur, et ce par l'intermédiaire de pattes longitudinales 17. Les parties 16 se trouvent de chaque côté d'un plan radial du profilé qui passe par le fond 12 du corps principal 10.On the main body 10 are mounted parts 16 of circular arc section with the same center as the center of the lower part 11 of the body 10, but with a smaller radius, and this by means of longitudinal lugs 17. The parts 16 are located on each side of a radial plane of the profile which passes through the bottom 12 of the main body 10.

On notera que les parties 17 se trouvent dans le prolongement des surfaces d'extrémité 13a des parties 13. Cette mesure trouve son fondement dans une réalisation simplifiée du laminage du profilé 10.It will be noted that the parts 17 are located in the extension of the end surfaces 13a of the parts 13. This measure finds its basis in a simplified embodiment of the rolling of the profile 10.

Dans le fond du corps principal 10, sont prévues des pattes 18 sensiblement radiales dont les extrémités appartiennent au cylindre défini par les parties 16 en arc de cercle. Les pattes 18 se trouvent de chaque côté d'un plan radial du profilé 10 qui passe par le fond 12 du corps principal 10.In the bottom of the main body 10, tabs 18 are provided which are substantially radial, the ends of which belong to the cylinder defined by the parts 16 in an arc. The tabs 18 are located on each side of a radial plane of the profile 10 which passes through the bottom 12 of the main body 10.

Les parties en arc de cercle 16 et les extrémités des pattes 18 ont leurs surfaces qui appartiennent à un même cylindre. Aux extrémités de la main courante formée par les profilés 10 et 20, les surfaces de ce cylindre servent au guidage des parties cylindriques 34 et 35 des flasques 31 et 33 des pièces de liaison 3. La fixation peut être effectuée au moyen d'une vis 40 traversant une des parties 16 du corps 10. Comme on peut le constater sur la Fig. 3b, la tête de la vis 40 est chapeautée par le couvercle 20 lorsque celui-ci est monté sur le corps 10.The parts in an arc 16 and the ends of the legs 18 have their surfaces which belong to the same cylinder. At the ends of the handrail formed by the profiles 10 and 20, the surfaces of this cylinder serve to guide the cylindrical parts 34 and 35 of the flanges 31 and 33 of the connecting pieces 3. The fixing can be carried out by means of a screw 40 passing through one of the parts 16 of the body 10. As can be seen in FIG. 3b, the head of the screw 40 is capped by the cover 20 when the latter is mounted on the body 10.

Les balustres sont constitués de barres cylindriques 4 qui sont fixées par une vis 41 traversant le fond 12 du corps 10. La tête de la vis 41 repose sur le fond 12. Lorsque le couvercle 20 n'est pas monté sur le corps 10, la vis 41 est accessible, pour son vissage, par l'espace entre les deux parties 16 en arc de cercle, alors que lorsqu'il est monté sur le corps 10, sa tête est cachée.The balusters consist of cylindrical bars 4 which are fixed by a screw 41 passing through the bottom 12 of the body 10. The head of the screw 41 rests on the bottom 12. When the cover 20 is not mounted on the body 10, the screw 41 is accessible, for its screwing, by the space between the two parts 16 in an arc, while when it is mounted on the body 10, its head is hidden.

On notera que la partie 11 du profilé 10 de la Fig. 3b est plate. Ceci permet de prévoir une surface plane des parties supérieures des balustres 4.Note that the part 11 of the section 10 of FIG. 3b is flat. This makes it possible to provide a flat surface for the upper parts of the balusters 4.

Pour faciliter le montage du couvercle 20, on a prévu, sur le corps 10, des rainures 19 le long de la base des pattes 17. Elles forment, le long du profilé, des lignes de moindre résistance qui lui donnent une élasticité lors du montage du couvercle 20.To facilitate the mounting of the cover 20, grooves 19 are provided on the body 10 along the base of the lugs 17. They form, along the profile, lines of least resistance which give it elasticity during mounting. cover 20.
