Abstract

This rail (1) is characterised in that it has at least one built-in skirting board (face board) (20A, 20B) to form a non-detachable single-piece assembly with this rail, connection between the skirting board and the rail being by means of articulation means (21, 22) able to make it possible for the skirting board to be folded up and down with respect to the vertical branch (4 or 5) of the rail (1) in order to make the means (23) for immobilising the panel (6) accessible, while allowing these, and the rail, to be hidden. <IMAGE>

Description

La présente invention concerne un rail de fixation au sol d'un panneau de cloisonnement.The present invention relates to a rail for fixing to the ground of a partition panel.

A titre d'exemple, ce type de panneau est constitué par une âme centrale en matériau isolant comprise entre deux peaux rigides formant des parements solidaires de l'âme pour constituer un panneau monobloc.By way of example, this type of panel is formed by a central core of insulating material comprised between two rigid skins forming facings integral with the core to form a one-piece panel.

Un tel panneau est notamment utilisé dans la réalisation d'enceintes dans lesquelles les conditions climatiques et de propreté sont contrôlées.Such a panel is used in particular in the production of enclosures in which the climatic and cleanliness conditions are controlled.

Ces enceintes sont destinées à l'industrie agroalimentaire pour constituer des chambres de conservation à température et atmosphère contrôlées.These enclosures are intended for the food industry to constitute storage chambers at controlled temperature and atmosphere.

Ces chambres sont constituées par un assemblage de panneaux précités comportant un certain nombre de moyens de liaison entre eux de manière à en faciliter la livraison en pièces détachées, assemblées sur place ultérieurement.These chambers are constituted by an assembly of the aforementioned panels comprising a certain number of connecting means between them so as to facilitate the delivery thereof in spare parts, assembled on site subsequently.

Mais, si ces panneaux sont assemblés entre eux, ils doivent également être positionnés et fixés au sol d'où la présence de rails de fixation au sol.However, if these panels are assembled together, they must also be positioned and fixed to the ground, hence the presence of rails for fixing to the ground.

Bien entendu, le domaine technique de l'invention n'est pas limité à la réalisation d'enceintes climatiques mais s'étend au contraire à tout type de construction par panneaux préfabriqués. De même ces derniers pourront être en tout autre matériau tel que plâtre par exemple.Of course, the technical field of the invention is not limited to the production of climatic chambers but extends on the contrary to any type of construction by prefabricated panels. Likewise, the latter may be made of any other material such as plaster for example.

Il est actuellement connu, par exemple du document DE-U-8808481, de solidariser ces panneaux de cloisonnement par rapport au rail préalablement fixé au sol, par l'intermédiaire de moyens d'immobilisation tels que vis, traversant transversalement depuis l'extérieur une branche verticale du rail, globalement en forme de U, pour venir coopérer avec une partie inférieure du panneau logé dans ledit rail.It is currently known, for example from document DE-U-8808481, to secure these partition panels with respect to the rail previously fixed to the ground, by means of immobilization means such as screws, passing transversely from the outside a vertical branch of the rail, generally shaped U, to cooperate with a lower part of the panel housed in said rail.

Une fois le panneau en place et ainsi fixé, une plinthe de finition vient généralement en recouvrement du rail et des vis de fixation qui sinon seraient apparentes.Once the panel in place and thus fixed, a finishing plinth generally covers the rail and the fixing screws which would otherwise be visible.

De plus, la plinthe a pour rôle de former un raccord esthétique entre la base du panneau situé dans le rail et le sol.In addition, the plinth has the role of forming an aesthetic connection between the base of the panel located in the rail and the ground.

Néanmoins, si l'utilisation d'une telle plinthe résout les problèmes évoqués ci-dessus, en revanche elle ne peut exclure le fait que ses propres moyens de fixation sur le rail ou sur une partie du panneau située immédiatement au-dessus de celui-ci, restent apparents.However, if the use of such a plinth solves the problems mentioned above, on the other hand it cannot exclude the fact that its own means of fixing to the rail or to a part of the panel situated immediately above it. here, remain apparent.

Il est connu, par exemple du document DE-A-2011205, de remédier à cela en conservant une plinthe dans laquelle a été prévue une lumière longitudinale obturable à l'aide d'un volet correspondant articulé sur la plinthe à la partie supérieure de la lumière. Ainsi, lors de la fixation de la plinthe, on soulève le volet pour introduire les vis de fixation à travers la lumière puis une fois la plinthe fixée on referme le volet.It is known, for example from document DE-A-2011205, to remedy this by retaining a plinth in which a longitudinal light which can be closed off has been provided using a corresponding flap articulated on the plinth at the top of the light. Thus, during the fixing of the plinth, the flap is raised to introduce the fixing screws through the lumen then once the plinth is fixed, the flap is closed.

Si une telle technique apporte un progrès certain, il n'en reste pas moins vrai que le volet reste un élément visible et de réalisation non aisée sur le plan du moulage car il doit être obtenu simultanément à la lumière. De plus, dans ce cas de figure comme dans le précédent, il a été estimé selon une autre phase de la démarche inventive, que la mise en oeuvre de la plinthe en soi constituait une opération pénalisante sur le plan de sa fabrication car devant être effectuée de manière distincte de l'ensemble de fixation au sol du panneau.If such a technique brings definite progress, the fact remains that the shutter remains a visible element which is not easy to carry out in terms of molding because it must be obtained simultaneously by light. In addition, in this case as in the previous one, it was estimated according to another phase of the inventive step, that the implementation of the plinth in itself constituted a penalizing operation in terms of its manufacture because it had to be carried out separately from the panel floor mounting assembly.

De ce fait la plinthe constitue une pièce détachée à fabriquer, à gérer et enfin à manipuler lors de sa mise en place.Therefore the plinth constitutes a spare part to manufacture, manage and finally to handle during its installation.

L'invention vise précisément à remédier à ces inconvénients ainsi qu'à ceux précédemment cités.The invention aims precisely to remedy these drawbacks as well as those previously mentioned.

A cet effet, elle concerne un rail de fixation au sol d'un panneau de cloisonnement solidarisés entre eux après positionnement dudit panneau par l'intermédiaire de moyens d'immobilisation traversant transversalement depuis l'extérieur les branches verticales du rail, globalement en forme de U, pour venir coopérer avec une partie inférieure du panneau logée dans ledit rail, caractérisé en ce qu'une plinthe vient recouvrir longitudinalement au moins l'une des branches verticales du rail, afin de dissimuler celui-ci ainsi que les moyens d'immobilisation du panneau et former un raccord esthétique entre ce dernier et le sol, et en ce que la plinthe fait partie intégrante du rail pour former avec celui-ci un ensemble monobloc indissociable, leur liaison étant réalisée par l'intermédiaire de moyens d'articulation aptes à rendre la plinthe rabattable par rapport à la branche verticale correspondante du rail, afin de rendre accessibles les moyens d'immobilisation du panneau tout en permettant leur dissimulation, ainsi que celle du rail.To this end, it relates to a rail for fixing to the ground of a partitioning panel secured to one another after positioning of said panel by means of immobilization transversely traversing from the outside the vertical branches of the rail, generally in the form of U, to cooperate with a lower part of the panel housed in said rail, characterized in that a plinth covers longitudinally at least one of the vertical branches of the rail, in order to conceal the latter as well as the immobilization means of the panel and form an aesthetic connection between the latter and the ground, and in that the plinth is an integral part of the rail to form therewith an inseparable one-piece assembly, their connection being produced by means of suitable articulation means to make the plinth foldable relative to the corresponding vertical branch of the rail, in order to make accessible the means for immobilizing the panel all t allowing their concealment, as well as that of the rail.

L'invention sera mieux comprise et d'autres caractéristiques de celle-ci seront mises en évidence à l'aide de la description qui suit, en référence aux dessins schématiques annexés, illustrant, à titre d'exemple non limitatif, comment l'invention peut être réalisée et dans lesquels :

  • la figure 1 représente une vue en coupe transversale d'un rail muni de plinthes intégrées selon l'invention, dont l'une est en position de fermeture et l'autre en position d'ouverture, et
  • la figure 2 est une demi-vue à plus grande échelle d'un rail selon la figure 1 dont la plinthe est représentée en position de fermeture.
The invention will be better understood and other characteristics thereof will be highlighted with the aid of the description which follows, with reference to the appended schematic drawings, illustrating, by way of nonlimiting example, how the invention can be performed and in which:
  • FIG. 1 represents a cross-sectional view of a rail provided with integrated plinths according to the invention, one of which is in the closed position and the other in the open position, and
  • Figure 2 is a half view on a larger scale of a rail according to Figure 1 whose plinth is shown in the closed position.

Tel que représenté sur les figures, le rail désigné dans son ensemble par la référence 1, est constitué par un profilé globalement en forme de U dont une branche horizontale 2, globalement désignée, est destinée à coopérer avec le sol 3, ses deux branches verticales 4 et 5 parallèles entre elles, étant écartées l'une de l'autre selon une côte sensiblement supérieure à l'épaisseur d'un panneau de cloisonnement 6 destiné à être logé dans ledit rail 1 par sa partie inférieure.As shown in the figures, the rail designated as a whole by the reference 1, is constituted by a generally U-shaped profile, a horizontal branch 2, generally designated, is intended to cooperate with the ground 3, its two vertical branches 4 and 5 parallel to each other, being spaced from each other along a rib substantially greater than the thickness of a partition panel 6 intended to be housed in said rail 1 by its lower part.

Le rail 1 ainsi défini est destiné à être fixé sur le sol 3 par l'intermédiaire des vis de fixation 7 et 8.The rail 1 thus defined is intended to be fixed to the ground 3 by means of the fixing screws 7 and 8.

Un certain nombre de vis 7 et de vis 8 sont disposés tout le long du rail 1 selon un espacement prédéterminé en fonction de sa longueur.A number of screws 7 and screws 8 are arranged along the rail 1 at a predetermined spacing depending on its length.

De manière que les têtes des vis 7 et 8 ne puissent venir entraver le bon positionnement du panneau 6, la branche horizontale 2 du U formant le rail comporte deux épaulements latéraux 2 a et 2 b perpendiculaires aux branches 4 et 5, sur lesquels repose le champ inférieur du panneau 6. Les épaulements 2 a et 2 b délimitent entre eux une dépression longitudinale 9 destinée au logement des têtes de vis 7 et 8. Cette dépression 9 est obtenue par coudage et contre-coudage d'une partie 2 c de la branche horizontale 2, pour être reliée aux épaulements, 2 a et 2 b. La portée du rail 1 sur le sol 3 est donc assurée par la partie 2 c de la branche 2 ainsi que par deux murets longitudinaux 10 et 11 obtenus sensiblement dans le prolongement des branches 4 et 5 et destinés à améliorer l'assise du rail 1.So that the heads of the screws 7 and 8 cannot impede the correct positioning of the panel 6, the horizontal branch 2 of the U forming the rail has two lateral shoulders 2 a and 2 b perpendicular to the branches 4 and 5, on which the lower field of the panel 6. The shoulders 2 a and 2 b define between them a longitudinal depression 9 intended for housing the screw heads 7 and 8. This depression 9 is obtained by bending and counter-bending a part 2 c of the horizontal branch 2, to be connected to the shoulders, 2 a and 2 b . The range of the rail 1 on the ground 3 is therefore ensured by the part 2 c of the branch 2 as well as by two longitudinal walls 10 and 11 obtained substantially in the extension of the branches 4 and 5 and intended to improve the seat of the rail 1 .

Selon une caractéristique essentielle de l'invention, les plinthes 20A ou 20B, en l'occurrence identiques et symétriques, font partie intégrante du rail 1 pour former avec celui-ci un ensemble monobloc indissociable.According to an essential characteristic of the invention, the baseboards 20A or 20B, in this case identical and symmetrical, form an integral part of the rail 1 to form therewith an inseparable one-piece assembly.

La liaison des plinthes 20A, 20B avec les branches respectivement 4 et 5 du rail 1 est réalisée par l'intermédiaire de moyens d'articulation 21 et 22 aptes à rendre les plinthes rabattables par rapport auxdites branches 4 et 5. Ceci permet l'accès à des moyens d'immobilisation 23, tels que vis, tout en permettant leur dissimulation ultérieure par rabat des plinthes 20A et/ou 20B.The connection of the plinths 20A, 20B with the branches 4 and 5 respectively of the rail 1 is carried out by means of articulation means 21 and 22 capable of making the plinths foldable relative to the said branches 4 and 5. This allows access immobilization means 23, such as screws, while allowing their subsequent concealment by flap of the plinths 20A and / or 20B.

Comme le montre les figures, les moyens d'articulation 21 et 22 des plinthes 20A ou 20B sont disposés à proximité du sommet du bord longitudinal libre des branches verticales 4, 5 du rail 1.As shown in the figures, the articulation means 21 and 22 of the plinths 20A or 20B are arranged near the top of the free longitudinal edge of the vertical branches 4, 5 of the rail 1.

Chacune desdites articulations 21 ou 22 est constituée par une zone longitudinale souple formée par un amincissement local constituant une charnière-film qui est obtenue au cours d'une même opération de moulage d'une matière plastique avec le rail 1 et la plinthe.Each of said joints 21 or 22 is constituted by a flexible longitudinal zone formed by a local thinning constituting a film hinge which is obtained during the same operation of molding a plastic material with the rail 1 and the plinth.

Selon une variante de réalisation, les mêmes articulations 21 ou 22 sont constituées par une zone longitudinale souple formée par un matériau de dureté inférieure à celle du matériau constituant le rail 1 et la plinthe 20A, 20B l'ensemble étant obtenu au cours d'une même opération de moulage d'une matière plastique offrant des caractéristiques de bidureté.According to an alternative embodiment, the same joints 21 or 22 are constituted by a flexible longitudinal zone formed by a material of hardness less than that of the material constituting the rail 1 and the plinth 20A, 20B the assembly being obtained during a same operation of molding a plastic material offering bidurety characteristics.

Préférentiellement, dans ce cas, la matière plastique utilisée pour le moulage de l'ensemble formé par le rail 1 et la plinthe intégrée (20A, 20B) est un polychlorure de vinyle dans lequel est incorporé un agent plastifiant, au droit de la zone d'articulation, pour donner à celle-ci la souplesse souhaitée.Preferably, in this case, the plastic material used for molding the assembly formed by the rail 1 and the integrated plinth (20A, 20B) is a polyvinyl chloride in which a plasticizing agent is incorporated, in line with the zone d 'joint, to give it the desired flexibility.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, chacune des plinthes intégrées 20A, 20B comporte des moyens de fermeture complémentaires 24 disposés en vis-à-vis, d'une part sur une branche verticale 4 ou 5 du rail 1 et, d'autre part sur la face interne d'une plinthe 20A ou 20B pour coopérer entre eux lors du rabattage de la plinthe 20A, ou 20B, après fixation du panneau 6 dans le rail 1, lesdits moyens de fermeture étant obtenus avec l'ensemble rail-plinthe au cours d'une même opération de moulage.According to another characteristic of the invention, each of the integrated plinths 20A, 20B comprises complementary closing means 24 arranged opposite, on the one hand on a vertical branch 4 or 5 of the rail 1 and, on the other hand, on the internal face of a plinth 20A or 20B to cooperate with each other during the folding down of the plinth 20A, or 20B, after fixing the panel 6 in the rail 1, said closing means being obtained with the 'rail-plinth assembly during the same molding operation.

Ces moyens de fermeture de la plinthe 20A ou 20B sont constitués, d'une part, par un premier becquet 25 déformable élastiquement réalisé sur la face interne de la plinthe 20A, ou 20B à proximité de son bord longitudinal libre et, d'autre part, par un second becquet fixe 26 disposé tête-bêche par rapport au premier 25 à proximité de la base de la branche verticale 4, 5 du rail 1, les deux becquets 25, 26 étant aptes à coopérer entre eux par encliquetage élastique, lorsque la plinthe est rabattue.These closing means of the plinth 20A or 20B consist, on the one hand, of a first elastically deformable spoiler 25 produced on the internal face of the plinth 20A, or 20B near its free longitudinal edge and, on the other hand , by a second fixed spoiler 26 disposed head to tail relative to the first 25 near the base of the vertical branch 4, 5 of the rail 1, the two spoilers 25, 26 being able to cooperate with one another by elastic snap-fastening, when the plinth is folded down.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le bord longitudinal libre de la plinthe intégrée 20A, ou 20B, est constituée par une lèvre élastiquement déformable 27 ou 28 apte à épouser le profil du sol 3 sur lequel elle est destinée à être plaquée.According to another characteristic of the invention, the free longitudinal edge of the integrated plinth 20A, or 20B, consists of an elastically deformable lip 27 or 28 capable of conforming to the profile of the floor 3 on which it is intended to be pressed.

Chacune de ces lèvres 27 ou 28 est formée par un matériau de dureté inférieure à celle du matériau constituant le rail 1 et la plinthe 20A ou 20B l'ensemble étant obtenu au cours d'une même opération de moulage d'une matière plastique offrant des caractéristiques de bidureté.Each of these lips 27 or 28 is formed by a material of hardness lower than that of the material constituting the rail 1 and the plinth 20A or 20B the whole being obtained during the same operation of molding a plastic material offering bidurety characteristics.

Avantageusement, l'ensemble rail-plinthes qui vient d'être décrit forme un ensemble symétrique obtenu au cours d'une même opération de moulage.Advantageously, the rail-baseboard assembly which has just been described forms a symmetrical assembly obtained during the same molding operation.
