Description

La présente invention est relative à un dispositif de verrouillage, permettant d'immobiliser une parclose amovible sur une structure de support fixe, et s'applique plus particulièrement quoique non exclusivement à la réalisation de devantures de magasins ou commerces de galeries marchandes ou autres. L'invention concerne donc également les devantures de ce genre munies de parcloses extérieures fixées au moyen d'un tel dispositif de verrouillage.The present invention relates to a locking device, making it possible to immobilize a removable glazing bead on a fixed support structure, and applies more particularly although not exclusively to the production of storefronts or shops of shopping malls or the like. The invention therefore also relates to storefronts of this kind provided with external glazing beads fixed by means of such a locking device.

On sait que, dans les réalisations modernes de magasins ou locaux commerciaux divers, la devanture de ceux-ci est généralement constituée par une paroi vitrée, de dimensions parfois importantes, réalisées au moyen d'une ou plusieurs plaques de verre appliquées et posées sur une structure de support périphérique, disposée derrière la paroi, par rapport à la face de celle-ci dirigée vers la rue ou un passage situé à l'extérieur du magasin. La paroi vitrée une fois posée sur des cales de centrage et de positionnement, puis fixée vis-à-vis de sa structure de support, en étant notamment plaquée sur celle-ci, est fréquemment équipée de baguettes formant caches, montées au droit des bords latéraux de la paroi, notamment pour couvrir l'espace généralement étroit qui sépare celle-ci d'un retour latéral de la structure porteuse ou d'une paroi vitrée voisine, située dans le plan et le prolongement de la première.It is known that, in modern constructions of shops or various commercial premises, the front of these is generally constituted by a glass wall, of dimensions sometimes large, produced by means of one or more glass plates applied and placed on a peripheral support structure, disposed behind the wall, relative to the face thereof facing the street or a passage located outside the store. The glazed wall once placed on centering and positioning shims, then fixed with respect to its support structure, in particular being pressed against it, is frequently equipped with rods forming covers, mounted at the edges lateral of the wall, in particular to cover the generally narrow space which separates the latter from a lateral return of the supporting structure or of a neighboring glazed wall, situated in the plane and the extension of the first.

Ces baguettes, usuellement appelées parcloses, sont solidaires de la structure de support à travers l'espace précité, leur fixation devant être particulièrement sûre pour éviter en particulier que des passants indélicats ne puissent les retirer facilement, accéder alors aux côtés ainsi dégagés de la paroi vitrée et retirer celle-ci sans difficulté en permettant de pénétrer dans le magasin et de dérober les marchandises exposées en vitrine derrière la paroi.These rods, usually called glazing beads, are integral with the support structure through the aforementioned space, their fixing must be particularly secure to prevent in particular that unscrupulous passers-by cannot easily remove them, then access the sides thus released from the wall. glass and remove it without difficulty by allowing to enter the store and steal the goods exposed in the window behind the wall.

Par ailleurs, en cas de bris de celle-ci, il est nécessaire de pouvoir démonter aisément ces parcloses pour procéder de la manière la plus rapide au remplacement de la paroi brisée par une autre, en limitant ainsi le temps d'immobilisation de la devanture du magasin.Furthermore, in the event of breakage of the latter, it is necessary to be able to easily disassemble these glazing beads to proceed as quickly as possible to the replacement of the broken wall by another, thereby limiting the downtime of the storefront. of the shop.

La présente invention vise donc un dispositif de verrouillage plus spécialement adapté à la fixation d'une telle parclose sur une structure de support comportant un montant parallèle à la parclose et disposé derrière celle-ci par rapport à une paroi vitrée ou autre contre la surface externe de laquelle elle s'applique, ce dispositif étant sur, procurant une fixation efficace vis-àvis de la structure, étant rapide à mettre en oeuvre tant pour le montage que le démontage de la parclose et présentant une grande simplicité de conception, ce dispositif ne nuisant en aucune façon à l'esthétique de la devanture en étant entièrement caché par la parclose et complètement contenu à l'intérieur du montant.The present invention therefore relates to a locking device more specially adapted for fixing such a glazing bead on a support structure comprising an upright parallel to the glazing bead and disposed behind the latter relative to a glazed wall or other against the external surface of which it is applied, this device being on, providing an effective fixing opposite of the structure, being quick to implement both for mounting and dismounting the glazing bead and having great simplicity of design, this device in no way detrimental to the aesthetics of the storefront by being entirely hidden by the glazing bead completely contained inside the upright.

A cet effet, le dispositif de verrouillage (comme précisé dans la revendication 1) considéré, entre un montant allongé d'une structure porteuse pour une paroi vitrée appliquée contre celle-ci et une parclose en forme générale de baguette s'étendant parallèlement au montant, présentant une partie de préférence plane disposée contre la paroi vitrée en appui sur la face de celle-ci opposée au montant de la structure, la parclose comportant une extension s'étendant perpendiculairement à sa partie par préférence plane et s'engageant dans une ouverture ménagée dans un logement du montant prévu en regard, où cette extension est, d'une part munie d'un filetage interne avec lequel coopère une vis de serrage dont le corps traverse le fond du logement opposé à son ouverture recevant l'extension de la parclose et dont la tête est en appui sur une portée du montant, de telle sorte que la rotation de la vis provoque le rapprochement de la parclose par rapport au montant jusqu'à leur blocage mutuel de part et d'autre de la paroi vitrée et en ce qu'elle présente d'autre part la forme d'un manchon tubulaire, apte à s'engager coaxialement, dans le logement du montant présentant le même profil, caractérisé par cette extension comportant à son extrémité pénétrant dans le logement une collerette externe en saillie, apte à se fixer à la façon d'un clip sur une nervure en relief prévue dans la paroi interne du logement à la fin de la course de rapprochement de la parclose par rapport au montant.To this end, the locking device (as specified in claim 1) considered, between an elongated upright of a supporting structure for a glazed wall applied against it and a glazing bead in the general shape of a rod extending parallel to the upright , having a preferably flat part arranged against the glazed wall bearing on the face of the latter opposite the upright of the structure, the glazing bead having an extension extending perpendicular to its part, preferably planar and engaging in an opening formed in a housing of the upright provided opposite, where this extension is, on the one hand provided with an internal thread with which cooperates a clamping screw whose body passes through the bottom of the housing opposite its opening receiving the extension of the glazing bead and whose head is supported on a span of the upright, so that the rotation of the screw brings the glazing bead closer to the upright up to their mutual blocking on either side of the glass wall and in that it also has the form of a tubular sleeve, capable of engaging coaxially, in the housing of the upright having the same profile, characterized by this extension comprising at its end penetrating into the housing an external protruding flange, capable of being fixed in the manner of a clip on a raised rib provided in the internal wall of the housing at the end of the travel approximation of the glazing bead with the amount.

US-A-2 917 793 décrit un dispositif qui possède toutes les caractéristiques de la première partie de la revendication 1. D'autres dispositifs similaires sont connus des documents DE-A-2 820 571 et DE-A-3 925 197.US-A-2 917 793 describes a device which has all the characteristics of the first part of claim 1. Other similar devices are known from documents DE-A-2 820 571 and DE-A-3 925 197.

Selon une autre caractéristique du dispositif considéré, la tête de la vis de serrage est appliquée contre le fond d'un évidement ouvert prévu dans le montant, formant la portée d'appui de cette vis, l'évidement comprenant un passage central traversé par le corps de la vis.According to another characteristic of the device considered, the head of the clamping screw is applied against the bottom of an open recess provided in the upright, forming the bearing support of this screw, the recess comprising a central passage through which the body of the screw.

De préférence, l'évidement recevant la tête de la vis de serrage est apte à être fermé par un couvercle engagé dans celui-ci, en cachant la tête vis-à-vis de l'extérieur du montant.Preferably, the recess receiving the head of the clamping screw is capable of being closed by a cover engaged therein, hiding the head from the outside of the upright.

Selon encore une autre caractéristique, la parclose comporte, dans sa partie plane, à distance de son extension, des joints d'étanchéité montés dans des griffes d'immobilisation délimitées dans les côtés de la parclose, ces joints venant s'appliquer sur la surface externe de la paroi vitrée. De préférence, le montant comporte des griffes d'immobilisation similaires pour des joints d'étanchéité homologues appliqués contre la surface interne opposée de la paroi.According to yet another characteristic, the glazing bead comprises, in its flat part, at a distance from its extension, seals mounted in immobilizing claws delimited in the sides of the glazing bead, these seals being applied to the surface outside of the glass wall. Preferably, the upright has similar immobilizing claws for homologous seals applied against the opposite internal surface of the wall.

D'autres caractéristiques d'un dispositif de verrouillage d'une parclose sur une structure de support pour la paroi vitrée formant la façade d'une devanture, ainsi que de la devanture équipée de parcloses immobilisées par un tel dispositif, apparaîtront encore à travers la description qui suit d'un exemple de réalisation, donné à titre indicatif et non limitatif, en référence aux dessins annexés sur lesquels :

  • La Figure 1 est une vue schématique en perspective d'une devanture comprenant une structure de support pour une paroi vitrée et des parcloses entourant celle-ci par l'extérieur, à immobiliser à l'aide du dispositif selon l'invention.
  • Les Figures 2 et 3 sont des vues en coupe transversale à plus grande échelle des parcloses envisagées sur la Figure 1, selon deux variantes de réalisation, respectivement adaptées à un montage dans un côté ou dans une partie courante de la structure de support.
Other characteristics of a device for locking a glazing bead on a support structure for the glazed wall forming the facade of a storefront, as well as the storefront equipped with glazing beads immobilized by such a device, will also appear through the description which follows of an exemplary embodiment, given by way of non-limiting example, with reference to the appended drawings in which:
  • Figure 1 is a schematic perspective view of a storefront comprising a support structure for a glazed wall and glazing beads surrounding it from the outside, to be immobilized using the device according to the invention.
  • Figures 2 and 3 are cross-sectional views on a larger scale of the glazing beads envisaged in Figure 1, according to two alternative embodiments, respectively suitable for mounting in one side or in a running part of the support structure.

Sur la Figure 1, la référence 1 désigne dans son ensemble une devanture ou construction analogue constituant la façade d'un magasin ou d'un local commercial, celle-ci étant montée dans une ouverture appropriée d'une maçonnerie 2, à l'intérieur de laquelle est préalablement disposée et immobilisée une structure métallique de support 3, comportant notamment des montants allongés, respectivement verticaux 4 et horizontaux 5, ces montants étant très schématiquement illustrés sur la Figure.In Figure 1, the reference 1 designates as a whole a storefront or similar construction constituting the facade of a store or commercial premises, the latter being mounted in an appropriate opening of masonry 2, inside which is previously arranged and immobilized a metallic support structure 3, comprising in particular elongated uprights, respectively vertical 4 and horizontal 5, these amounts being very schematically illustrated in the Figure.

La structure de support 3 est prévue pour positionner et porter en façade de la devanture une paroi vitrée 6 qui peut être réalisée, selon les dimensions de celle-ci, sous la forme d'une ou de plusieurs vitres, respectivement 7 et 8, disposées côte à côte et dans le prolongement l'une de l'autre dans le même plan vertical. La structure 3 comporte notamment des cales de mise en place 9 pour la paroi vitrée, celle-ci étant fixée une fois positionnée par tous moyens appropriés, le plus généralement par collage, avec interposition de joints d'étanchéité comme précisé plus loin.The support structure 3 is provided for positioning and carrying on the front of the storefront a glazed wall 6 which can be produced, according to the dimensions thereof, in the form of one or more panes, respectively 7 and 8, arranged side by side and in line with one another in the same vertical plane. The structure 3 includes in particular shims 9 for positioning the glass wall, the latter being fixed once positioned by any appropriate means, most generally by gluing, with interposition of seals as specified below.

Contre la surface externe des vitres 7 et 8 constituant la paroi, à l'opposé des montants 4 et 5 de la structure de support 3, la devanture comporte enfin des parcloses se présentant sous la forme de baguettes étroites venant couvrir les espaces délimités entre les vitres et/ou les bords périphériques de la structure de support, ces baguettes, respectivement telles que 10 et 11, s'étendant verticalement ou horizontalement selon le cas.Against the external surface of the panes 7 and 8 constituting the wall, opposite the uprights 4 and 5 of the support structure 3, the storefront finally includes glazing beads in the form of narrow strips covering the spaces delimited between the panes and / or the peripheral edges of the support structure, these rods, respectively such as 10 and 11, extending vertically or horizontally as appropriate.

L'invention vise un dispositif de verrouillage des parcloses précitées sur la structure de support qui évite notamment qu'elles puissent être démontées de l'extérieur de la devanture en laissant alors un accès direct aux vitres formant la paroi et, après démontage de ces dernières, à la vitrine qui se trouve ordinairement située derrière cette paroi.The invention relates to a device for locking the aforementioned glazing beads on the support structure, which in particular prevents them from being able to be dismantled from the outside of the storefront, thus leaving direct access to the windows forming the wall and, after dismantling the latter , to the display case which is usually located behind this wall.

Les Figures 2 et 3 illustrent deux variantes de réalisation de ce dispositif de verrouillage plus particulièrement adapté, pour l'une (Figure 2) à un montant 4 de la structure de support 3 disposé dans un des côtés de la maçonnerie 2 entourant la devanture, pour l'autre (Figure 3) à un montant 4 prévu en partie courante de la paroi vitrée 6, entre deux vitres successives 7 et 8. Sur ces figures, on a repris les mêmes chiffres de référence pour désigner les mêmes éléments de chacune de ces deux variantes, en distinguant seulement les dispositions différentes qu'elles comportent du fait de leur localisation respective.Figures 2 and 3 illustrate two alternative embodiments of this locking device more particularly suitable, for one (Figure 2) to an upright 4 of the support structure 3 disposed in one of the sides of the masonry 2 surrounding the storefront, for the other (Figure 3) at an amount 4 provided in the current part of the glazed wall 6, between two successive panes 7 and 8. In these figures, the same reference numbers have been used to designate the same elements of each of these two variants, by distinguishing only the different provisions which they comprise because of their respective location.

Le montant 4 de la structure ainsi associé à une parclose 10 disposée du côté opposé de la paroi vitrée formée une ou les deux vitres 7 et 8 de celle-ci, comporte une paroi latérale 12, une paroi de fond 13 et une paroi frontale 14, comme représenté, la paroi de fond 13 formant un évidement rentrant 15 présentant une portée transversale 16 dans laquelle est ménagée un trou de passage 17 pour une vis de serrage 35 décrite plus en détail ci-après. Dans le cas de la Figure 2, l'évidement 15 est fermé latéralement par un rebord 15a.The upright 4 of the structure thus associated with a glazing bead 10 disposed on the opposite side of the glazed wall formed one or both panes 7 and 8 thereof, has a side wall 12, a bottom wall 13 and a front wall 14, as shown, the bottom wall 13 forming a re-entrant recess 15 having a transverse bearing surface 16 in which is provided a passage hole 17 for a clamping screw 35 described in more detail below. after. In the case of Figure 2, the recess 15 is closed laterally by a flange 15a.

La paroi latérale 12 se prolonge pour sa part, en avant de la paroi frontale 14, par des griffes 18 adaptées à l'immobilisation sur le montant de joints d'étanchéité 19, aptes à venir s'appuyer contre les faces des vitres 7 et/ou 8 de la paroi 6 lorsque celle-ci est mise en place dans la structure 3 de la manière déjà indiquée en relation avec la Figure 1.The side wall 12 is extended for its part, in front of the front wall 14, by claws 18 adapted to immobilize on the amount of seals 19, able to come to bear against the faces of the panes 7 and / or 8 of the wall 6 when the latter is placed in the structure 3 in the manner already indicated in relation to FIG. 1.

La paroi frontale 14 du montant 4 comporte par ailleurs, sensiblement en son centre dans le cas de la variante selon la Figure 3, sur un de ses côtés dans le cas de la Figure 2, un prolongement 20, se présentant sous la forme d'un manchon tubulaire 21, délimitant un logement ouvert 22 à son extrémité 23. Un orifice 24 est ménagé dans une membrure transversale 25 prévue à l'intérieur du manchon 21, à distance appropriée vis-à-vis de son extrémité 23, cet orifice permettant le passage de l'extrémité de la vis 35.The front wall 14 of the upright 4 also comprises, substantially at its center in the case of the variant according to FIG. 3, on one of its sides in the case of FIG. 2, an extension 20, being in the form of a tubular sleeve 21, delimiting an open housing 22 at its end 23. An orifice 24 is formed in a transverse frame 25 provided inside the sleeve 21, at a suitable distance from its end 23, this orifice allowing the passage of the end of the screw 35.

La parclose 10 à fixer sur le montant 4 comporte une partie plane 26 dirigée vers les vitres 7 et 8 de la paroi 6 et une paroi externe 27 dont le profil est arrondi, dans les exemples illustrés sur les figures, avec un retour plan 27a dans le cas particulier de la Figure 2.The glazing bead 10 to be fixed on the upright 4 comprises a flat part 26 directed towards the panes 7 and 8 of the wall 6 and an external wall 27 whose profile is rounded, in the examples illustrated in the figures, with a flat return 27a in the particular case of Figure 2.

La partie plane 26 de la parclose 10 comporte des griffes 28, analogues aux griffes 18 du montant 4, et destinées à supporter des joints d'étanchéité 29, propres à venir s'appliquer à l'opposé des joints 19 contre les vitres 7 et/ou 8 une fois l'ensemble définitivement monté.The flat part 26 of the glazing bead 10 comprises claws 28, similar to the claws 18 of the upright 4, and intended to support seals 29, suitable for being applied opposite the seals 19 against the windows 7 and / or 8 once the assembly is definitively assembled.

Cette partie plane 26 comporte en outre une extension 30, orientée en direction du montant 4 à l'opposé de la paroi externe 27 de la parclose, cette extension 30 se présentant à son tour sous la forme d'un manchon tubulaire 31 dont l'extrémité 32 est prévue pour s'engager dans le logement 22 du manchon 20, en réalisant le positionnement relatif de la parclose vis-à-vis du montant 4.This flat part 26 further comprises an extension 30, oriented in the direction of the upright 4 opposite the external wall 27 of the glazing bead, this extension 30 being in turn in the form of a tubular sleeve 31, the end 32 is provided for engaging in the housing 22 of the sleeve 20, by realizing the relative positioning of the glazing bead with respect to the upright 4.

Avantageusement, l'extrémité 32 du manchon 31 comporte en bout une collerette externe 33, apte à venir coopérer avec une nervure en saillie 34 ménagée dans la paroi interne du manchon 20 lorsque l'extension 30 a pénétré dans le logement 22 de ce dernier, la collerette et la nervure s'accrochant mutuellement à la manière d'un clip. De préférence et pour faciliter cet accrochage, l'extrémité 32 du manchon 31 comporte une pluralité de fentes longitudinales (non représentées) lui conférant une relative flexibilité, de telle sorte que la collerette se rétracte légèrement au passage de la nervure 34 avant de reprendre sa position au-delà de celle-ci.Advantageously, the end 32 of the sleeve 31 has at the end an external collar 33, capable of coming to cooperate with a projecting rib 34 formed in the internal wall of the sleeve 20 when the extension 30 has penetrated into the housing 22 of the latter, the collar and the rib clinging to each other like a clip. Preferably and to facilitate this attachment, the end 32 of the sleeve 31 has a plurality of longitudinal slots (not shown) giving it relative flexibility, so that the collar retracts slightly as the rib 34 passes before resuming its position beyond it.

Le dispositif de verrouillage selon l'invention se complète au moyen de la vis de serrage 35 déjà mentionnée, celle-ci comportant un corps cylindrique 36 prolongé par une extrémité 37 munie d'un filetage dont le pas correspond à celui d'un taraudage 38 prévu à l'intérieur du manchon 31, les diamètres du corps 36 de la vis et de son extrémité 37 étant tels que celle-ci peut librement s'engager à travers les passages 17 et 24 prévus respectivement dans la portée 16 de la paroi de fond 13 d'une part, dans la membrure transversale 25 d'autre part.The locking device according to the invention is completed by means of the clamping screw 35 already mentioned, the latter comprising a cylindrical body 36 extended by an end 37 provided with a thread whose pitch corresponds to that of a tapping 38 provided inside the sleeve 31, the diameters of the body 36 of the screw and of its end 37 being such that the latter can freely engage through the passages 17 and 24 provided respectively in the bearing 16 of the wall of bottom 13 on the one hand, in the transverse member 25 on the other hand.

La vis 35 comporte, à l'opposé de la partie filetée 37, une tête 39 telle qu'elle puisse venir s'appuyer lorsque la vis est en place contre la portée 16, la commande de la vis en rotation, du fait de la coopération de son extrémité filetée 37 avec le taraudage 38 du manchon 30 de la parclose 10, provoquant le rapprochement de celle-ci vis-à-vis du montant 4 jusqu'à son immobilisation finale où les vitres 7 et/ou 8 sont serrées entre les joints 19 et 29, la parclose étant bloquée en fin de course par la collerette 33 clipsée sur la nervure 34.The screw 35 comprises, opposite the threaded part 37, a head 39 such that it can come to rest when the screw is in place against the bearing 16, the control of the screw in rotation, due to the cooperation of its threaded end 37 with the thread 38 of the sleeve 30 of the glazing bead 10, causing the latter to move towards the upright 4 until its final immobilization where the windows 7 and / or 8 are clamped between the seals 19 and 29, the glazing bead being blocked at the end of the race by the flange 33 clipped onto the rib 34.

Un couvercle 40 peut alors être utilement disposé sur le montant 4 dans l'évidement 15 afin de cacher la tête 39, ce couvercle comportant à son tour une collerette en saillie 41 venant s'engager par simple pression sous une nervure 42 prévue dans cet évidement.A cover 40 can then be usefully placed on the upright 4 in the recess 15 in order to hide the head 39, this cover in turn comprising a projecting collar 41 which engages by simple pressure under a rib 42 provided in this recess .

On réalise ainsi un dispositif de verrouillage, notamment pour parclose, sur une structure de support de la paroi vitrée d'une devanture ou analogue qui présente de nombreux avantages, la fixation de la parclose s'effectuant par l'intérieur du magasin, sans aucune prise vers l'extérieur. Le blocage de la parclose est donc particulièrement sûr, les éléments mis en oeuvre permettant un montage (ou démontage par l'intérieur) particulièrement simple. Enfin, la conception du système n'a aucun effet sur l'esthétique propre des parcloses, les moyens assurant l'immobilisation de ces dernières étant entièrement contenus dans la structure de support elle-même.This produces a locking device, in particular for glazing beads, on a support structure for the glazed wall of a storefront or the like which has numerous advantages, the fixing of the glazing beads being effected from the inside of the store, without any outlet to the outside. The blocking of the glazing bead is therefore particularly safe, the elements used allowing a particularly simple assembly (or disassembly from the inside). Finally, the design of the system has no effect on the proper aesthetics of the glazing beads, the means ensuring the immobilization of the latter being entirely contained in the support structure itself.

Bien entendu, il va de soi que l'invention ne se limite pas à l'exemple de réalisation plus spécialement décrit ci-dessus, en référence aux dessins annexés ; elle en embrasse au contraire toutes les variantes conformant aux revendications.Of course, it goes without saying that the invention is not limited to the embodiment more specifically described above, with reference to the accompanying drawings; on the contrary, it embraces all variants conforming to the claims.
