Description

La présente invention concerne la construction des immeubles, et notamment les cloisons intérieures ou extérieures comprenant des briques de verre.The present invention relates to the construction of buildings, and in particular the interior or exterior partitions comprising glass bricks.

Les briques de verre sont utilisées depuis longtemps dans la construction des immeubles, pour constituer des parties de cloisons transparentes ou translucides. Le mode d'utilisation traditionnel consiste à empiler les briques de verre les unes sur les autres avec un joint de mortier. Une telle utilisation nécessite une main d'oeuvre qualifiée, car il est difficile de réaliser des joints réguliers en épaisseur et en aspect. Il faut en outre monter les briques sur le chantier, sans possibilité de préfabrication.Glass bricks have long been used in the construction of buildings, to form parts of transparent or translucent partitions. The traditional mode of use consists of stacking the glass bricks on top of each other with a mortar joint. Such use requires skilled labor, as it is difficult to produce regular joints in thickness and appearance. It is also necessary to mount the bricks on site, without the possibility of prefabrication.

Pour permettre la préfabrication, comme illustré dans le DE-A-2 334 685, on peut envisager de réaliser en atelier un châssis à alvéoles ouvertes sur deux côtés opposés et conformées pour recevoir chacune à faible jeu une brique de verre. On peut ensuite insérer les briques, soit en atelier, soit sur le chantier. Plusieurs châssis adjacents peuvent être assemblés les uns aux autres par des goujons d'assemblage ou des rails. Mais la difficulté est alors le maintien des briques dans les alvéoles. Ce document ne se préoccupe en effet ni de ce problème, ni d'une solution permettant d'éviter que les briques puissent être enlevées une à une hors du châssis, ou qu'elles puissent tomber par suite d'un choc porté par inadvertance contre la paroi.To allow prefabrication, as illustrated in DE-A-2 334 685, it is possible to envisage making in the workshop a chassis with open cells on two opposite sides and shaped to each receive a glass block at low clearance. We can then insert the bricks, either in the workshop or on the site. Several adjacent frames can be assembled to each other by assembly studs or rails. But the difficulty is then to maintain the bricks in the cells. This document is neither concerned with this problem, nor with a solution making it possible to avoid that the bricks can be removed one by one out of the chassis, or that they can fall as a result of an impact brought inadvertently against Wall.

Le US-A-2 239 537 décrit une autre structure de mur en briques de verre, les briques étant insérées dans une structure comportant des bandes métalliques horizontales à bords recourbés élastiques, et des bandes de renforcement verticales en divers matériaux. Les briques sont tenues directement par les bords recourbés élastiques, qui sont ensuite maintenus écartés par du mastic. Du mastic est également forcé entre les faces verticales des briques adjacentes. Une telle structure n'est pas démontable et réutilisable sans renouvellement du matériel, notamment du mastic. Par le fait qu'il est difficile de réaliser des joints de mastic réguliers en épaisseur, cette solution nécessite des opérations longues et complexes sur le chantier lui-même, et ne permet pas d'obtenir aisément un aspect esthétique satisfaisant et durable.US-A-2 239 537 describes another wall structure of glass bricks, the bricks being inserted in a structure comprising horizontal metal strips with elastic curved edges, and vertical reinforcement strips of various materials. The bricks are held directly by the elastic curved edges, which are then held apart by putty. Putty is also forced between the vertical faces of the adjacent bricks. Such a structure cannot be dismantled and reused without renewing the material, in particular the putty. By the fact that it is difficult to produce regular mastic joints in thickness, this solution requires long and complex operations on the site itself, and does not easily make it possible to obtain a satisfactory and lasting aesthetic appearance.

En effet, une difficulté résulte du fait qu'une paroi doit présenter un caractère esthétique acceptable. En particulier, les parties de paroi séparant des briques adjacentes doivent avoir un aspect extérieur agréable à l'oeil, et l'on doit alors envisager l'utilisation de matériaux nobles tels qu'un bois de qualité, un métal, une matière plastique. Il en résulte alors un coût de production relativement élevé si le matériau noble constitue le châssis à alvéoles en entier.Indeed, a difficulty results from the fact that a wall must have an acceptable aesthetic character. In particular, parts of the wall separating adjacent bricks must have an external appearance that is pleasing to the eye, and one must then consider the use of noble materials such as quality wood, metal, plastic. This results in a relatively high production cost if the noble material constitutes the entire cell chassis.

Le problème proposé par la présente invention est de concevoir une nouvelle structure d'éléments de cloison à briques de verre, dans laquelle les éléments de châssis assurent à moindre coût à la fois un aspect esthétique agréable à l'oeil et un maintien efficace des briques de verre à l'intérieur des alvéoles.The problem proposed by the present invention is to design a new structure of glass brick partition elements, in which the chassis elements ensure at a low cost both an aesthetic appearance pleasing to the eye and an effective maintenance of the bricks. of glass inside the cells.

Un autre objet de l'invention est de concevoir une telle structure à éléments de cloison à briques de verre qui puissent être facilement assemblés par un utilisateur inexpérimenté, de préférence sans utiliser d'outils spéciaux.Another object of the invention is to design such a structure with glass brick partition elements which can be easily assembled by an inexperienced user, preferably without using special tools.

Un autre avantage de l'invention est qu'une telle structure d'éléments de cloison à briques de verre peut être plus aisément transportée ou stockée sous forme d'éléments emballés sous un plus faible volume, et qu'elle est démontable en tout ou partie et remontable sans apport de matériel complémentaire tel qu'un mastic. Il est ainsi aisé de changer tout ou partie des briques de verre, soit pour des raisons de casse ou de dégradation, soit pour des raisons de modifications esthétiques.Another advantage of the invention is that such a structure of glass brick partition elements can be more easily transported or stored in the form of elements packaged in a smaller volume, and that it is completely removable or part and reassemblable without additional material such as a putty. It is thus easy to change all or part of the glass bricks, either for reasons of breakage or degradation, or for reasons of aesthetic modifications.

L'idée qui est à la base de l'invention consiste à assurer le maintien des briques de verre à l'intérieur de leurs alvéoles par des parcloses rapportées sur les chants des éléments de châssis. Les parcloses sont les seuls éléments visibles de l'extérieur. Il en résulte que la structure intérieure de châssis peut être réalisée en une matière non noble, seules les parcloses devant être réalisées en matériaux plus nobles et d'aspect agréable à l'oeil. De telles parcloses doivent être faciles à poser, et doivent assurer un maintien très efficace des briques de verre.The idea which is the basis of the invention consists in ensuring the maintenance of the glass bricks inside their cells by glazing beads attached to the edges of the frame elements. The glazing beads are the only elements visible from the outside. As a result, the internal chassis structure can be made of a non-noble material, only the glazing beads having to be made of more noble materials and of appearance pleasing to the eye. Such glazing beads must be easy to install, and must ensure very effective maintenance of the glass bricks.

Ainsi, les éléments de cloison à briques de verre selon la présente invention comprennent des éléments de châssis formant une structure à alvéoles ouvertes sur deux côtés opposés et conformées pour recevoir chacune à faible jeu une brique de verre. Des parcloses sont conformées pour se fixer sur les chants des éléments de châssis autour des ouvertures desdites alvéoles et pour venir à recouvrement sur les bords des briques de verre pour les maintenir dans leurs alvéoles respectives.Thus, the glass brick partition elements according to the present invention comprise chassis elements forming a structure with cells open on two opposite sides and shaped to each receive a glass brick at low clearance. Beads are shaped to be fixed on the edges of the frame elements around the openings of said cells and to overlap on the edges of glass bricks to keep them in their respective cells.

Selon un mode de réalisation de l'invention, les éléments de châssis comprennent deux séries de plaques parallèles à encoches, assemblées perpendiculairement l'une à l'autre à mi-bois.According to one embodiment of the invention, the chassis elements comprise two series of parallel plates with notches, assembled perpendicular to each other in semi-timber.

Other objects, characteristics and advantages of the present invention will emerge from the following description of particular embodiments, given in relation to the attached figures, among which:
  • Figure 1 is a schematic perspective view of a frame structure according to the invention intended to receive glass bricks;
  • Figure 2 illustrates the mid-wood assembly of two perpendicular plates forming the frame;

  • Figure 8 is a general front view of a panel according to an embodiment of the invention.

Dans le mode de réalisation représenté sur la figure 1, les éléments de châssis selon l'invention forment une structure de châssis 1 à alvéoles rectangulaires ou carrées, telles que l'alvéole 2, les alvéoles étant adjacentes et alignées, séparées par des parois planes telles que la paroi 3.In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the chassis elements according to the invention form a chassis structure 1 with rectangular or square cells, such as cell 2, the cells being adjacent and aligned, separated by plane walls such as wall 3.

Cette structure de châssis 1 est formée à partir de deux séries de plaques parallèles, à savoir les plaques 3, 4, 5, 6 et 7 de la figure formant la première série B de plaques, et les plaques 8, 9, 10, 11 et 12 formant la seconde série A de plaques. Les plaques de la première série B de plaques sont assemblées aux plaques de la seconde série A de plaques par un assemblage de type à mi-bois, comme le représente la figure 2. Pour cela, la plaque 3 comprend des encoches telles que l'encoche 13, et la plaque 9 comprend des encoches telles que l'encoche 14, les encoches 13 et 14 ayant une profondeur égale à la demi-largeur d'une plaque, et s'emboîtant l'une dans l'autre comme le représente la figure.This chassis structure 1 is formed from two series of parallel plates, namely plates 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 in the figure forming the first series B of plates, and plates 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 forming the second series A of plates. The plates of the first series B of plates are assembled to the plates of the second series A of plates by an assembly of the semi-wood type, as shown in FIG. 2. For this, the plate 3 comprises notches such as the notch 13, and the plate 9 comprises notches such as the notch 14, the notches 13 and 14 having a depth equal to the half-width of a plate, and fitting into each other as shown the figure.

Comme le montre la figure 3, on assemble les plaques de châssis les unes avec les autres, les plaques de la première série B de plaques étant disposées en une rangée de plaques parallèles posées sur le sol sur leur chant, avec leurs encoches orientées vers le haut, les plaques de la seconde série A de plaques étant orientées avec leurs encoches vers le bas et encastrées les unes après les autres dans les encoches correspondantes des plaques de la première série B de plaques. Le châssis ainsi formé est ensuite redressé à la verticale en position C.As shown in Figure 3, we assemble the chassis plates with each other, the plates of the first series B of plates being arranged in a row of parallel plates placed on the ground on their edge, with their notches facing the top, the plates of the second series A of plates being oriented with their notches downwards and embedded one after the other in the corresponding notches of the plates of the first series B of plates. The chassis thus formed is then straightened vertically to position C.

Sur la figure 4, on garnit la première face 15 du châssis avec des parcloses 16 et 17, venant recouvrir les chants des éléments de châssis sur cette première face 15.In FIG. 4, the first face 15 of the chassis is lined with glazing beads 16 and 17, covering the edges of the chassis elements on this first face 15.

On introduit ensuite les briques de verre telles que la brique 18 à l'intérieur des alvéoles formées par les éléments de châssis. Enfin, on adapte sur les chants d'éléments de châssis de la seconde face 19 du châssis des parcloses similaires aux parcloses 16 et 17 de la première face 15.Glass bricks such as brick 18 are then introduced inside the cells formed by the frame elements. Finally, on the edges of chassis elements of the second face 19 of the chassis, glazing beads similar to the glazing beads 16 and 17 of the first surface 15 are adapted.

Dans le mode de réalisation représenté sur la figure 5, la paroi de châssis 20 sépare deux briques de verre 18 et 21. Les parois de châssis telles que la paroi 20, dans ce mode de réalisation, ont une largeur sensiblement égale à la profondeur des briques de verre, de sorte que leurs chants viennent en affleurement des faces extérieures respectives des briques de verre. La parclose 17 comprend une nervure intermédiaire longitudinale 22 s'engageant en force dans une rainure 23 du chant correspondant de l'élément de châssis tel que la plaque 20. Les bords 24 et 25 latéraux de la parclose 17 viennent à recouvrement sur les bords correspondants des briques 18 et 21 de verre, pour maintenir les briques de verre dans leurs alvéoles respectives. La parclose 17 présente alors une section en T, comme le représente la figure. Une seconde parclose similaire doit être engagée sur le second chant opposé 26 de la plaque 20, second chant 26 sur lequel on distingue la rainure 27 pour recevoir la nervure correspondante de parclose.In the embodiment shown in FIG. 5, the chassis wall 20 separates two glass bricks 18 and 21. The chassis walls such as the wall 20, in this embodiment, have a width substantially equal to the depth of the glass bricks, so that their edges come flush with the respective external faces of the glass bricks. The glazing bead 17 comprises a longitudinal intermediate rib 22 engaging in force in a groove 23 of the corresponding edge of the chassis element such as the plate 20. The lateral edges 24 and 25 of the glazing bead 17 overlap on the corresponding edges glass bricks 18 and 21, to hold the glass bricks in their respective cells. The glazing bead 17 then has a T-shaped section, as shown in the figure. A second similar glazing bead must be engaged on the second opposite edge 26 of the plate 20, second edge 26 on which there is the groove 27 to receive the corresponding rib of glazing bead.

Dans le mode de réalisation de la figure 6, la plaque 120 présente une largeur supérieure à la profondeur des briques de verre 18 ou 21. La parclose 117 présente deux nervures latérales 118 et 119 venant en appui sur les bords des faces extérieures correspondantes des briques de verre respectives 21 et 18. Dans ce cas, les nervures latérales 118 et 119 peuvent en outre être engagées en force sur les faces latérales correspondantes 121 et 122 de la plaque 120. Une telle parclose 117 peut comprendre ou non une nervure intermédiaire longitudinale telle que la nervure 22 s'engageant dans une rainure correspondante de la plaque 120.In the embodiment of FIG. 6, the plate 120 has a width greater than the depth of the glass bricks 18 or 21. The glazing bead 117 has two lateral ribs 118 and 119 bearing on the edges of the corresponding external faces of the bricks respective glass 21 and 18. In this case, the lateral ribs 118 and 119 can also be forcibly engaged on the corresponding lateral faces 121 and 122 of the plate 120. Such a glazing bead 117 may or may not include a longitudinal intermediate rib such as the rib 22 engaging in a corresponding groove in the plate 120.

Dans le mode de réalisation de la figure 7, la plaque 220 présente une largeur inférieure à la profondeur des briques de verre 18 et 21. La parclose 217 présente alors un corps allongé pour compenser la différence entre la largeur de la plaque 220 et la profondeur des briques de verre 18 et 21, comme le représente la figure, les deux ailes latérales 224 et 225 de la parclose 217 venant en appui sur les bords des faces extérieures des briques de verre 18 et 21 pour assurer leur maintien. La parclose 217 est également pourvue d'une nervure 222 s'engageant en force dans une rainure correspondante du chant de la plaque 220.In the embodiment of FIG. 7, the plate 220 has a width less than the depth of the glass bricks 18 and 21. The glazing bead 217 then has an elongated body to compensate for the difference between the width of the plate 220 and the depth glass bricks 18 and 21, as shown in the figure, the two lateral wings 224 and 225 of the glazing bead 217 coming to bear on the edges of the outer faces of the glass bricks 18 and 21 to ensure their maintenance. The glazing bead 217 is also provided with a rib 222 engaging in force in a corresponding groove in the edge of the plate 220.

Les parcloses peuvent avantageusement être conçues pour se maintenir en force sur les chants correspondants des éléments de châssis. En alternative, les parcloses peuvent en outre être collées, rivetées, clouées ou agrafées sur les éléments de châssis correspondants.The glazing beads can advantageously be designed to maintain strength on the corresponding edges of the chassis elements. Alternatively, the glazing beads can also be glued, riveted, nailed or stapled to the corresponding chassis elements.

Dans le mode de réalisation représenté sur la figure 8, en vue de face, une paroi selon l'invention peut comprendre des parcloses de deux types selon un premier type, les parcloses sont des baguettes de grande longueur telles que les baguettes 30, 31, 32, et 33, pour occuper toute la longueur de chant des plaques de la première série de plaques. Selon le second type, les parcloses sont des baguettes de petite longueur telles que la baguette 34, pour occuper la longueur de chant des plaques de seconde série de plaques entre deux baguettes de grande longueur successives telles que les baguettes 30 et 31.In the embodiment shown in FIG. 8, in front view, a wall according to the invention can comprise glazing beads of two types according to a first type, the glazing beads are rods of great length such as the rods 30, 31, 32, and 33, to occupy the entire edge length of the plates of the first series of plates. According to the second type, the glazing beads are rods of short length such as the rod 34, to occupy the edge length of the plates of the second series of plates between two successive rods of long length such as the rods 30 and 31.

Selon un assemblage de la présente invention, seules les briques de verre et les parcloses sont visibles de l'extérieur. Les éléments de châssis constitués par les deux séries de plaques peuvent donc être réalisés en matériau composite à plus faible prix, par exemple en bois reconstitué, tandis que les parcloses sont avantageusement en un autre matériau présentant des caractéristiques esthétiques appropriées. On peut par exemple réaliser les parcloses en bois noble, ou en métal, ou en matière plastique. Les parcloses peuvent être vernies, peintes ou décorées de diverses manières, sans avoir à vernir, à peindre ou décorer les plaques formant les éléments internes de châssis.According to an assembly of the present invention, only the glass bricks and the glazing beads are visible from the outside. The chassis elements constituted by the two series of plates can therefore be made of composite material at a lower price, for example made of reconstituted wood, while the glazing beads are advantageously made of another material having suitable aesthetic characteristics. We can for example make the glazing beads in noble wood, or in metal, or in plastic. The glazing beads can be varnished, painted or decorated in various ways, without having to varnish, paint or decorate the plates forming the internal chassis elements.
