Description
La présente invention est relative à un dispositif pour le montage et la fixation d'une lisse notamment horizontale d'un garde-corps sur un raidisseur vertical de support de cette lisse. The present invention relates to a device for mounting and fixing a rail in particular horizontal of a railing on a vertical stiffener of support for this stringer.
On sait qu'un garde-corps, notamment pour balcon, terrasse, escalier ou autre construction analogue, est généralement constitué par un panneau plan, en matière transparente ou non, disposé entre deux lisses horizontales placées en partie haute et basse de ce panneau, ces lisses étant elle-mêmes supportées par des poteaux ou raidisseurs verticaux, situés derrière le panneau et en appui sur le sol, de manière à protéger les usagers vis-à-vis du vide au-delà du garde-corps.(Voir FR-A-2 123 879). We know that a railing, especially for balconies, terrace, staircase or similar construction, is generally constituted by a flat panel, in material transparent or not, disposed between two horizontal rails placed in the upper and lower part of this panel, these rails being themselves supported by posts or stiffeners vertical, located behind the panel and resting on the ground, so as to protect users from vacuum beyond the railing (see FR-A-2 123 879).
En variante, les lisses haute et basse du garde-corps peuvent comporter, au lieu d'un panneau plein ou en matière transparente, des barreaux mutuellement espacés selon la longueur du garde-corps, ces panneaux étant encastrés dans les lisses à leurs extrémités, leur écartement étant limité, conformément aux normes en vigueur, en particulier dans une mesure suffisante pour éviter le passage entre deux barreaux successifs de la tête d'un enfant. Alternatively, the top and bottom rails of the railing may have, instead of a solid panel or transparent material, mutually spaced bars depending on the length of the railing, these panels being embedded in the beams at their ends, their spacing being limited, in accordance with the standards in force, especially to an extent sufficient to avoid the passage between two successive bars of the head of a child.
Dans les solutions actuellement connues dans la technique, la fixation des lisses du garde-corps est réalisée en les solidarisant de raidisseurs de support massifs, au moyen de pinces extérieures, enveloppant à la fois le corps du raidisseur et, simultanément, la lisse à fixer sur celui-ci, qui reprend le panneau ou les barreaux associés. Une telle pince est généralement constituée de deux parties, l'une en forme de chape en prise sur la lisse et l'autre présentant un élément tubulaire qui contourne le raidisseur. Le bridage de ce dernier sur les deux lisses du garde-corps est ensuite réalisé au moyen de vis de pression qui sont apparentes de l'extérieur. In the solutions currently known in the technical, the fixing of the rails of the railing is made by joining them together with support stiffeners massive, by means of external pliers, enveloping both the body of the stiffener and simultaneously the smooth to fix on it, which takes up the panel or the bars associated. Such pliers generally consist of two parts, one in the form of a yoke engaged on the rail and the other having a tubular element which bypasses the stiffener. The clamping of the latter on the two rails of the railing is then carried out by means of pressure screws which are visible from the outside.
Une autre solution consiste à utiliser une pièce de fonderie immobilisée sur la face avant du raidisseur et comportant une extension venant s'engager dans une rainure de la lisse à immobiliser ou inversement comportant une rainure dans laquelle s'engage une partie plane de cette lisse. Mais là encore, le bridage de l'ensemble s'effectue à l'aide de vis visibles de l'extérieur, ce qui nuit à l'esthétique et à la présentation du garde-corps. En outre, le prix de revient de tels montages est relativement élevé, du fait de l'utilisation de pièces massives pour les raidisseurs et moulées pour les pinces de fixation. Another solution is to use a piece of foundry immobilized on the front face of the stiffener and comprising an extension coming to engage in a groove of the boom to be immobilized or vice versa comprising a groove in which a flat part of this engages smooth. But here again, the bridle of the assembly is carried out at screws visible from the outside, which the aesthetics and presentation of the railing. In addition, the cost price of such assemblies is relatively high, due to the use of massive parts for stiffeners and molded for the clamps.
La présente invention a pour objet un dispositif qui évite ces inconvénients, grâce à l'utilisation de raidisseurs verticaux tubulaires associés à des organes de support des lisses haute et basse, de conception très simple, qui procurent à la fois une sécurité accrue dans le maintien du panneau ou des barreaux du garde-corps et une grande rapidité de montage, avec un aspect d'ensemble particulièrement satisfaisant sur le plan esthétique, la fixation de ces organes portant les lisses et leur bridage sur le raidisseur étant réalisés au moyen d'une vis unique logée à l'intérieur de ce raidisseur et qui peut être ensuite entièrement cachée vers l'extérieur. The present invention relates to a device which avoids these disadvantages, thanks to the use of tubular vertical stiffeners associated with support of the top and bottom rails, very designed simple, which provide both increased security in the maintenance of the railing panel or bars and a fast assembly, with an overall appearance particularly satisfactory from an aesthetic point of view, the fixing of these members carrying the beams and their clamping on the stiffener being made by means of a single screw housed inside this stiffener and which can be then completely hidden outwards.
A cet effet, le dispositif considéré, pour le montage et la fixation d'une lisse horizontale de garde-corps vis-à-vis d'un raidisseur vertical, au moyen d'un organe de liaison solidarisé du raidisseur et supportant la lisse. Le raidisseur présente une structure tubulaire, apte à recevoir, dans un passage horizontal traversant défini par des ouvertures de même profil ménagées en regard dans ses parois opposées, l'organe de liaison présentant la forme d'une pince allongée dont les extrémités, lorsque cette pince est mise en place dans ce passage, sont symétriques l'une de l'autre par rapport au plan médian du raidisseur, ces extrémités à l'extérieur de celui-ci étant alors orientées vers l'avant du raidisseur de manière à recevoir dans une rainure ouverte de la pince un flan plan faisant partie de la lisse à immobiliser, la pince comportant de plus un alésage central taraudé dont l'axe est orienté sensiblement dans le plan médian du raidisseur et dans lequel est engagée une vis accessible par l'arrière du raidisseur, de telle sorte que la rotation de la vis en appui sur la paroi interne de celui-ci, exerce par réaction un déplacement de la pince selon l'axe de cette vis en procurant un effet de bridage de la pince et par suite le blocage de la lisse portée par celle-ci vis-à-vis du raidisseur. To this end, the device considered, for the mounting and fixing a horizontal railing rail opposite a vertical stiffener, by means of a connecting member secured to the stiffener and supporting the smooth. The stiffener has a tubular structure, able to receive, in a passage horizontal through defined by openings of the same profile arranged opposite in its opposite walls, the organ connecting in the form of an elongated clamp whose ends, when this clamp is placed in this passage, are symmetrical to each other with respect to the median plane of the stiffener, these ends outside of the latter then being oriented towards the front of the stiffener so as to receive in an open groove of the clamp a flat blank forming part of the arm to be immobilized, the clamp further comprising a threaded central bore whose axis is oriented substantially in the median plane of the stiffener and in which is engaged a screw accessible from the rear of the stiffener, so that the rotation of the screw in support on the inner wall thereof, exerts by reaction displacement of the clamp along the axis of this screw in providing a clamping effect of the clamp and consequently the blocking of the arm carried by the latter with respect to the stiffener.
Selon une caractéristique particulière du dispositif, la pince présente un profil en demi cercle, les extrémités de la pince, à l'extérieur du raidisseur, au-delà des ouvertures délimitant le passage traversant le raidisseur dans lequel elle s'engage, comportant chacune une fente ouverte vers le haut, les deux fentes étant disposées dans un même plan vertical, sensiblement tangent à la paroi du raidisseur, en avant de celui-ci. According to a particular characteristic of the device, the pliers have a semi-circular profile, the ends of the clamp, outside the stiffener, beyond openings delimiting the passage crossing the stiffener in which it engages, each comprising a slot open upwards, the two slots being arranged in the same vertical plane, substantially tangent to the wall of the stiffener, in front of it.
De préférence, chaque fente prévue aux extrémités de la pince comporte dans son fond un ressaut interne, propre à recevoir une nervure en relief éventuellement prévue à l'extrémité inférieure du flan plan de la lisse à immobiliser, portée par la pince. Preferably, each slot provided at the ends of the clamp has in its bottom an internal projection, suitable for receiving a raised rib possibly provided at the lower end of the plane blank of the heddle immobilize, carried by the clamp.
Selon une autre caractéristique, la pince comporte dans sa partie médiane une échancrure dont la largeur est sensiblement égale à celle du raidisseur au droit des ouvertures délimitant le passage traversant où s'engage la pince, de telle sorte que, lors du bridage de celle-ci sous l'effet de la vis qu'elle supporte, les bords de cette échancrure viennent coiffer les parois latérales du raidisseur, en obturant ces ouvertures. According to another characteristic, the clamp comprises in its middle part a notch whose width is substantially equal to that of the stiffener in line with openings delimiting the through passage where the clamp, so that when clamping it under the effect of the screw it supports, the edges of this indentation cover the side walls of the stiffener, by closing these openings.
Par ailleurs et de façon en elle-même connue, chaque lisse comporte des moyens d'immobilisation d'un panneau ou de barreaux parallèles, disposés en avant du flan plan supporté par la pince. In addition and in a manner known per se, each stringer comprises means for immobilizing a panel or parallel bars, arranged in front of the blank plane supported by the clamp.
Avantageusement, le raidisseur comporte un trou d'accès à la tête de la vis, ménagé dans la partie arrière de ce raidisseur pour l'introduction d'un outil de commande de la rotation de cette vis. Advantageously, the stiffener has a hole access to the head of the screw, formed in the rear part of this stiffener for the introduction of a control tool of the rotation of this screw.
Selon encore une autre caractéristique, les parois latérales du raidisseur comportent chacune une rainure continue, s'étendant selon une génératrice verticale ménagée vers l'arrière du raidisseur afin de permettre le montage, à la façon d'un clip, des bords repliés d'un cache, masquant le trou d'accès à la tête de la vis. According to yet another characteristic, the walls sides of the stiffener each have a groove continuous, extending along a vertical generator towards the rear of the stiffener to allow mounting, at the way of a clip, the folded edges of a cover, hiding the access hole at the head of the screw.
D'autres caractéristiques d'un dispositif de montage et de fixation d'une lisse horizontale d'un garde-corps, établi conformément à l'invention, apparaítront encore à travers la description qui suit de plusieurs exemples de réalisation, donnés à titre indicatif et non limitatif, en référence aux dessins annexés sur lesquels :
- La Figure 1 est une vue en coupe partielle et en élévation d'un raidisseur de garde-corps, muni d'un dispositif conforme à l'invention, selon un premier mode de réalisation où les lisses de ce garde-corps supportent entre elles un panneau plan, en avant du raidisseur.
- La Figure 2 est une vue de face d'une partie du raidisseur selon la Figure 1, au droit d'une pince montée dans celui-ci.
- Les Figures 3, 4 et 5 sont des vues en coupe transversale du raidisseur et de la pince associée, illustrant le processus de mise en place de cette dernière.
- La Figure 6 est une vue analogue à la Figure 5, mais sur laquelle la lisse à immobiliser sur le raidisseur est représentée, en étant supportée par la pince.
- La Figure 7 est une vue analogue à la Figure 1 mais relative à une variante de réalisation.

- Figure 2 is a front view of part of the stiffener according to Figure 1, to the right of a clamp mounted therein.
- Figures 3, 4 and 5 are cross-sectional views of the stiffener and the associated clamp, illustrating the process of positioning the latter.
- Figure 6 is a view similar to Figure 5, but on which the smooth to immobilize on the stiffener is shown, being supported by the clamp.
- Figure 7 is a view similar to Figure 1 but relating to an alternative embodiment.
Sur la Figure 1, la référence 1 désigne dans son ensemble un garde-corps, destiné à être monté en bordure d'un support plan 2, constitué par exemple par le sol d'un balcon, d'une terrasse ou d'un escalier, ou encore par toute autre construction analogue donnant sur le vide et qu'il convient de protéger à l'égard de ce dernier. In Figure 1, the reference 1 designates in its together a railing, intended to be mounted on the edge a flat support 2, constituted for example by the ground of a balcony, terrace or staircase, or by any other similar construction overlooking the void and that should be protected from the latter.
Un tel garde-corps est notamment constitué, de manière en elle-même connue, par une série de raidisseurs verticaux 3, convenablement espacés selon la longueur du support à protéger, ces raidisseurs comportant chacun une platine 4 d'appui et de fixation sur le support 2, par tout moyen conventionnel (non représenté), et dont le détail importe peu à la présente invention. Such a railing is made up in particular of in itself known manner, by a series of stiffeners vertical 3, suitably spaced along the length of the support to be protected, these stiffeners each comprising a support and fixing plate 4 on the support 2, by all conventional means (not shown), the details of which matters little to the present invention.
A sa partie supérieure, le garde-corps 1 comporte le cas échéant une main courante 5, s'étendant horizontalement en joignant les extrémités supérieures des divers raidisseurs 3, la protection vis-à-vis de l'extérieur étant assurée, dans l'exemple de réalisation représenté sur la Figure 1, au moyen d'un panneau plan 6, ici en matière transparente, d'un seul tenant (ou formé de panneaux adjacents comme illustré sur la Figure 6), disposé sur la majeure partie de la hauteur des raidisseurs 3, ce panneau étant supporté par ces derniers au moyen de deux lisses également horizontales, respectivement une lisse basse 7 et une lisse haute 8. At its upper part, the railing 1 comprises if necessary a handrail 5, extending horizontally by joining the upper ends of the various stiffeners 3, protection from the outside being assured, in the embodiment shown on the Figure 1, using a flat panel 6, here in material transparent, in one piece (or formed of panels adjacent as shown in Figure 6), arranged on the most of the height of the stiffeners 3, this panel being supported by the latter by means of two beams also horizontal, respectively a low beam 7 and a high beam 8.
Conformément à l'invention, chaque raidisseur 3 présente une section tubulaire, comme on peut le voir plus particulièrement sur les vues en coupe des Figures 3 à 6, chaque raidisseur comportant, au niveau de ces lisses 7 et 8, un organe de liaison en forme de pince 9, dont la structure et le profil ressortent également de façon claire de ces Figures. According to the invention, each stiffener 3 has a tubular section, as we can see more particularly in the sectional views of Figures 3 to 6, each stiffener comprising, at the level of these heddles 7 and 8, a clamp-shaped connecting member 9, the structure and profile also stand out clearly of these Figures.
Le raidisseur 3 à section tubulaire comporte notamment, dans ses faces latérales opposées, respectivement 10 et 11, des ouvertures 12 et 13, disposées en regard et ménagées dans les parois du raidisseur sensiblement au niveau où doivent être placées chacune des lisses 7 et 8 vis-à-vis de celui-ci, ces ouvertures délimitant de l'une à l'autre un passage traversant pour la pince 9, une fois celle-ci engagée dans ce dernier. The stiffener 3 with tubular section comprises in particular, in its opposite lateral faces, respectively 10 and 11, openings 12 and 13, arranged opposite and formed in the walls of the stiffener substantially at level where each beam 7 and 8 must be placed vis-à-vis this one, these openings delimiting from one to the other a through passage for the clamp 9, once the latter engaged in the latter.
Selon une caractéristique avantageuse de l'invention, la pince 9 présente un profil général en demi cercle, avec en section droite un contour rectangulaire, correspondant au profil des ouvertures 12 et 13 par lesquelles la pince est engagée dans le passage réalisé au travers du raidisseur. Bien entendu, on pourrait prévoir de donner à la section de la pince 9 un contour différent, pour autant que celle-ci puisse être facilement introduite dans ce passage et que ses extrémités, respectivement 14 et 15, puissent être disposées, lorsque la pince est mise en place et immobilisée en position de la façon décrite ci-après, de part et d'autre de ce raidisseur, en étant alors sensiblement symétriques l'une de l'autre, de chaque côté du plan vertical médian de ce dernier, schématisé sur les Figures 2 à 6 sous la référence 16. According to an advantageous characteristic of the invention, the clamp 9 has a general semi-circular profile, with a rectangular outline in cross section, corresponding to the profile of the openings 12 and 13 through which the clamp is engaged in the passage made through the stiffener. Of course, we could plan to give the section of the clamp 9 a different outline, provided that it can be easily introduced into this passage and that its ends, respectively 14 and 15, can be arranged when the clamp is in place and immobilized in position as described below, from on either side of this stiffener, while being substantially symmetrical to each other, on each side of the plane vertical middle of the latter, shown schematically in Figures 2 to 6 under the reference 16.
Les dimensions de la pince 9 sont par ailleurs déterminées de telle sorte que ses extrémités 14 et 15 soient disposées, dans la position précédente, correspondant aux Figures 5 et 6, légèrement en avant de la face frontale 17 du raidisseur 3, de telle manière qu'un flan plan 18, appartenant à la lisse horizontale 7 ou 8 associée à cette pince, puisse être engagé dans des fentes ouvertes vers le haut, respectivement 19 et 20, prévues dans ces extrémités 14 et 15, et en outre soit sensiblement tangent et pratiquement au contact de cette face 17. The dimensions of the clamp 9 are also determined so that its ends 14 and 15 are arranged, in the previous position, corresponding in Figures 5 and 6, slightly in front of the front face 17 of the stiffener 3, such that a flat blank 18, belonging to the horizontal rail 7 or 8 associated with this clamp, can be engaged in open slots towards the high, respectively 19 and 20, provided in these ends 14 and 15, and further be substantially tangent and practically in contact with this face 17.
Comme représenté sur la Figure 1, la pince 9 comporte avantageusement, dans le fond de ses fentes ouvertes 19 et 20, un ressaut interne 21, dans lequel s'engage une nervure 22 prévue à l'extrémité inférieure du flan plan 18. Une telle nervure peut notamment être prévue sur les flans de l'une et l'autre des deux lisses 7 et 8, le cas échéant sur seulement l'un de ceux-ci, ces nervures ayant essentiellement pour but en cas de choc sur le panneau 6 de l'intérieur vers l'extérieur du garde-corps, déviter que les lisses ne se déchaussent vis-à-vis des pinces 9, la nervure 22 venant en prise contre la partie supérieure du ressaut 21 en bloquant convenablement le flan 18, ainsi empêché de sortir des fentes correspondantes. As shown in Figure 1, the clamp 9 advantageously comprises, in the bottom of its slots open 19 and 20, an internal projection 21, in which engages a rib 22 provided at the lower end of the planar blank 18. Such a rib may in particular be provided on the sides of either of the two rails 7 and 8, the if necessary on only one of these, these ribs primarily intended for impact on the panel 6 from inside to outside of the railing, avoid that the heddles do not take off vis-à-vis the clamps 9, the rib 22 engaging against the upper part of the jump 21 by properly blocking the blank 18, thus prevented from coming out of the corresponding slots.
La pince 9 comporte par ailleurs, dans sa partie centrale, une échancrure 23, dont la largeur correspond sensiblement à celle du raidisseur 3, au droit du passage traversant formé dans celui-ci entre les ouvertures 12 et 13 de ses parois latérales 10 et 11. Au centre de cette échancrure est prévu un trou taraudé 24, dans lequel s'engage une vis 25, comportant à une extrémité une rainure 26 permettant de commander sa rotation lorsque la pince est mise en place dans le raidisseur 3, en particulier du fait de l'engagement à l'intérieur de celui-ci d'un outil (non représenté) du genre tournevis, introduit à travers un trou d'accès 27 prévu dans la face antérieure 28 du raidisseur, dirigée vers l'intérieur du garde-corps à l'opposé de sa face frontale 17. The clamp 9 also comprises, in its part central, a notch 23, the width of which corresponds substantially to that of the stiffener 3, at the right of passage through formed therein between openings 12 and 13 of its side walls 10 and 11. In the center of this notch is provided a threaded hole 24, in which engages a screw 25, having at one end a groove 26 for controlling its rotation when the clamp is installation in the stiffener 3, in particular because of the engagement inside it of a tool (not shown) like a screwdriver, inserted through a hole access 27 provided in the front face 28 of the stiffener, facing the inside of the railing opposite its face frontal 17.
La largeur de l'échancrure 23 est déterminée par construction, de telle sorte que ses bords internes, respectivement 23a et 23b, soient écartés d'une distance qui correspond à la largeur du raidisseur 3 au niveau de la partie arrière des ouvertures 12 et 13 dans ses parois latérales 10 et 11, de manière telle que la pince 9 puisse légèrement coulisser à l'intérieur du passage traversant, ces bords 23a et 23b venant coiffer en partie les faces externes de ces parois latérales, dans la position illustrée sur la Figure 6. The width of the notch 23 is determined by construction, so that its internal edges, 23a and 23b respectively, are separated by a distance which corresponds to the width of the stiffener 3 at the level of the rear part of openings 12 and 13 in its walls side 10 and 11, so that the clamp 9 can slightly slide inside the through passage, these edges 23a and 23b partially covering the faces external of these side walls, in the position illustrated in Figure 6.
Afin de permettre ce mouvement de la pince dans son passage traversant, la vis 25 comporte, à son extrémité opposée, une portée plane 29, apte à venir s'appuyer sur la paroi interne de la face frontale 17 du raidisseur, en exerçant sur la pince 9 un effort de déplacement vers l'arrière de celui-ci, consécutivement à la rotation de la vis. In order to allow this movement of the clamp in its through passage, the screw 25 comprises, at its end opposite, a flat surface 29, capable of coming to rest on the internal wall of the front face 17 of the stiffener, in exerting on the clamp 9 a displacement effort towards the back of it, following the rotation of the screw.
Le raidisseur comporte enfin, dans ses parois latérales 10 et 11, des rainures longitudinales, respectivement 30 et 31, s'étendant selon la hauteur du raidisseur et destinées à coopérer avec les extrémités recourbées vers l'intérieur 32 et 33, d'un cache extérieur 34, susceptible d'être ainsi mis en place contre le raidisseur à la manière d'un clip, en masquant sa face antérieure 28 et en particulier le trou d'accès 27 à la vis 25, au niveau des pinces 9 supportant les lisses 7 et 8. The stiffener finally has, in its walls lateral 10 and 11, longitudinal grooves, respectively 30 and 31, extending along the height of the stiffener and intended to cooperate with the ends bent towards inside 32 and 33, of an outside cover 34, susceptible to be put in place against the stiffener in the way a clip, hiding its anterior face 28 and in particular the access hole 27 to the screw 25, at the level of the clamps 9 supporting the beams 7 and 8.
La mise en oeuvre du dispositif décrit ci-dessus se déduit aisément de la considération des diverses Figures du dessin annexé, comme de la description qui précède. The implementation of the device described above is easily deduced from the consideration of the various Figures of attached drawing, as in the description above.
Dans un premier temps, les raidisseurs 3 du garde-corps 1 étant en place et immobilisés sur le support 2 par leurs platines 4, on introduit dans chacun de ces raidisseurs les pinces 9, aux emplacements correspondants aux points de fixation des lisses horizontales basse et haute 7 et 8, en faisant glisser chaque pince dans son passage traversant à travers les ouvertures 12 et 13 ménagées dans les parois latérales 10 et 11, ces ouvertures étant ici rectangulaires et correspondant à la section droite choisie pour la pince 9. Initially, the stiffeners 3 of the railing 1 being in place and immobilized on the support 2 by their plates 4, we introduce into each of these stiffeners the clamps 9, at the corresponding locations at the fixing points of the bottom horizontal rails and high 7 and 8, sliding each clamp into its through passage through openings 12 and 13 formed in the side walls 10 and 11, these openings here being rectangular and corresponding to the section straight line chosen for clamp 9.
Lorsque celle-ci est mise en place, avec ses extrémités 14 et 15 amenées dans des positions sensiblement symétriques l'une de l'autre, de part et d'autre et vers l'avant du raidisseur, on engage dans les fentes ouvertes vers le haut 19 et 20 de cette pince, le flan plan 18 de la lisse correspondante. De préférence lorqu'il comporte à son extrémité inférieure une nervure 22, celle-ci est emprisonnée dans le ressaut 21 prévu à la base de ces fentes. When this is put in place, with its ends 14 and 15 brought into positions substantially symmetrical to each other, on both sides and towards the front of the stiffener, we engage in the open slots upwards 19 and 20 of this forceps, the planar blank 18 of the corresponding smooth. Preferably when it includes lower end a rib 22, this is trapped in the projection 21 provided at the base of these slots.
Lorsque les lisses sont ainsi engagées dans l'ensemble des pinces des raidisseurs 3, il suffit alors pour chacune d'elles de brider l'ensemble, en agissant sur la vis 25 de ces pinces à travers le trou 27 de la paroi antérieure 28 des raidisseurs. When the beams are thus engaged in the set of stiffener clamps 3, then it suffices for each of them to clamp the whole, by acting on the screw 25 of these clamps through the hole 27 of the wall anterior 28 of the stiffeners.
Chaque pince 9, bloquée en basculement dans les ouvertures 12 et 13 mais libre en translation dans celles-ci, se déplace alors du fait de l'appui de l'extrémité plate 29 de la vis sur la paroi interne de la face 17 du raidisseur 3 associé, en faisant glisser les bords 23a et 23b de l'échancrure 23 qui viennent coiffer les faces latérales 10 et 11. Ce déplacement longitudinal permet d'obtenir un blocage final de la pince 9, où les ouvertures 12 et 13 sont totalement fermées par la pince elle-même, le flan plan 18 de chaque lisse s'appuyant simultanément contre la paroi externe de cette même face 17, comme illustré sur la Figure 6, en immobilisant l'ensemble. Each clamp 9, blocked in tilting in the openings 12 and 13 but free in translation in these, then moves due to the support of the end plate 29 of the screw on the internal wall of the face 17 of the associated stiffener 3, by sliding the edges 23a and 23b of the notch 23 which covers the faces lateral 10 and 11. This longitudinal displacement allows to obtain a final blocking of the clamp 9, where the openings 12 and 13 are completely closed by the clamp itself, the planar blank 18 of each beam simultaneously pressing against the wall external of this same face 17, as illustrated in Figure 6, by immobilizing the assembly.
Une fois toutes les pinces 9 ainsi bridées avec les deux lisses 7 et 8 sur l'ensemble des raidisseurs 3, le montage s'achève en disposant, sur chacun de ces derniers, son cache 34 qui vient masquer les trous 27, la structure réalisée ne laissant apercevoir aucun des éléments logés à l'intérieur de ces raidisseurs. Once all the clamps 9 thus clamped with the two beams 7 and 8 on all of the stiffeners 3, the assembly is completed by placing, on each of these, its cover 34 which masks the holes 27, the structure carried out not revealing any of the elements housed in inside these stiffeners.
On réalise ainsi un dispositif de montage et de fixation pour les lisses d'un garde-corps, de conception très simple, d'un coût relativement très réduit et qui présente un aspect extérieur particulièrement esthétique, les branches de forme circulaire des pinces émergeant de façon symétrique de part et d'autre des raidisseurs, tout en restant seules apparentes avec raccordement sans jeu apparent à la paroi de ces derniers. This produces a mounting device and fixing for the rails of a railing, design very simple, relatively inexpensive and which has a particularly aesthetic exterior appearance, the circular-shaped branches of the pliers emerging from symmetrically on both sides of the stiffeners, while remaining only visible with connection without play apparent on the wall of these.
Le blocage des pinces et des lisses qu'elles supportent est réalisé à l'aide d'une vis unique, celle-ci étant en outre entièrement masquée dans chacun des raidisseurs. A contrario, après enlèvement du cache arrière de ces derniers, l'accès aux vis de commande peut être aisément obtenu, en permettant un démontage rapide et sûr des pinces. The blocking of the clamps and of the heddles they support is achieved using a single screw, this one being furthermore completely hidden in each of the stiffeners. Conversely, after removing the rear cover of these, access to the control screws can be easily obtained, allowing quick and safe disassembly pliers.
Bien entendu, il va de soi que l'invention ne se limite pas à l'exemple plus spécialement décrit en référence aux Figures 1 à 6. Ainsi et comme représenté sur la Figure 7, on peut envisager, sans modifier la structure ni le fonctionnement du dispositif, d'adapter directement ce dernier à la fixation de lisses destinées à supporter, non plus un ou plusieurs panneaux pleins ou transparents situés en avant du garde-corps, mais des barreaux parallèles tels que 35, ceux-ci étant encastrés par leurs extrémités respectivement dans les lisses 7 et 8, le cas échéant même dans la main courante supérieure 5 lorsque celle-ci sert directement de lisse haute, le garde-corps 1 comportant uniquement dans ce cas une lisse basse 7, montée et fixée sur les raidisseurs au moyen du dispositif de l'invention. Of course, it goes without saying that the invention is not not limit to the example more especially described with reference in Figures 1 to 6. Thus and as shown in Figure 7, it is possible to envisage, without modifying the structure or the operation of the device, to directly adapt this last to the fixing of beams intended to support, not plus one or more solid or transparent panels located in front of the railing, but parallel bars such that 35, these being recessed by their ends respectively in the beams 7 and 8, if necessary even in the upper handrail 5 when it is used directly from the top rail, the railing 1 comprising only in this case a low beam 7, mounted and fixed on the stiffeners by means of the device of the invention.
