  • the invention also relates to a tool for setting up such an installation.

  • These support pieces considerably facilitate the installation of racks. Indeed, and by proceeding differently from the known procedures, a panel is first fixed to two racks which are themselves not yet fixed to the support (wall). To do this, place the support pieces in the housings of the racks, put the glue and plate the panel on the support members placed in the two racks, applying the racks tightly against the two edges of the panel.

Conversely, this makes any adjustments to the edges of the panel to be carried out on the site unnecessary, as was necessary according to known techniques, all the more so since such interventions require a lot of care in their execution so as not to damage the visible face of the panels which, when the coating is fragile, risk of chipping. On the contrary, as according to the invention the panels are prepared in the workshop, this work of cutting the panels can be done with all the precision and the necessary care.

Abstract

The system uses rails (101) in the form of extrusions fixed to a supporting surface (102) such as a wall, made with apertures (116) for fixing brackets, shelves or suspended equipment. Each rail has an omega-shaped cross-section with two branches (114) connected by a crosspiece (115), and two side branches (113) which act as stops for the panels. Between its central and side sections each rail is equipped with thrust elements (120,130) designed to engage elastically in recesses and having a height which depends on the required level of the panels relative to the rails. In addition, the side sections of the rail have teeth (118) to grip the thrust elements. <IMAGE>

Description

La présente invention concerne une installation de pose de panneaux sans fixation visible notamment pour l'habillage de murs et la mise en place d'étagères ou d'équipements suspendus comprenant :

  • des crémaillères en forme de profilés, fixées à un support tel qu'un mur ou un meuble, la crémaillère ayant des orifices pour l'accrochage de consoles ou de crochets recevant les étagères ou l'équipement suspendu,
  • chaque crémaillère ayant une section en forme d'oméga, avec une partie centrale munie des orifices d'accrochage, formée par deux branches reliées par une traverse, cette partie centrale étant bordée par au moins une partie latérale comprenant une branche d'appui et une branche latérale, relevée, la crémaillère étant fixée au support au niveau des branches d'appui, les branches latérales formant une butée pour les panneaux d'habillage ou de présentation placés entre les crémaillères,
The present invention relates to an installation for installing panels without visible fixing, in particular for covering walls and installing shelves or hanging equipment comprising:
  • racks in the form of profiles, fixed to a support such as a wall or a piece of furniture, the rack having holes for hanging consoles or hooks receiving the shelves or the hanging equipment,
  • each rack having a section in the shape of an omega, with a central part provided with the hooking orifices, formed by two branches connected by a crosspiece, this central part being bordered by at least one lateral part comprising a support branch and a lateral branch, raised, the rack being fixed to the support at the support branches, the lateral branches forming a stop for the covering or presentation panels placed between the racks,

L'invention concerne également un outil pour la mise en place d'une telle installation.The invention also relates to a tool for setting up such an installation.

Les habillages de murs et notamment les équipements de magasins sont de plus en plus constitués par des installations à crémaillères, recevant des consoles pour porter des étagères ou des boîtes de présentation. Ces crémaillères peuvent également recevoir des crochets pour suspendre des articles à présenter.The wall coverings and in particular the store equipment are increasingly made up by rack and pinion installations, receiving consoles for carry shelves or display boxes. These racks can also receive hooks for hanging articles to be displayed.

En général, l'intervalle entre deux crémaillères est habillé par un panneau constituant une décoration de fond ou encore un panneau par exemple troué, permettant de recevoir des crochets ou des supports de présentation.In general, the interval between two racks is covered by a panel constituting a background decoration or even a panel for example perforated, allowing to receive hooks or presentation supports.

Suivant le cas, les panneaux sont placés entre les crémaillères et ne débordent pas sur celles-ci. Dans d'autres cas, ces panneaux coiffent partiellement les crémaillères en ne laissant qu'une fente juste suffisante pour placer les consoles ou équerres soutenant les étagères ou équipements de présentation.Depending on the case, the panels are placed between the racks and do not overlap thereon. In other cases, these panels partially cover the racks, leaving only a slot just sufficient to place the consoles or brackets supporting the shelves or presentation equipment.

Les panneaux sont placés librement entre les profilés et sont maintenus en place par des clefs ou organes de maintien accrochés dans les crémaillère et ayant des pattes qui débordent sur la face avant des panneaux pour les retenir.The panels are placed freely between the profiles and are held in place by keys or holding members hung in the rack and having tabs which extend over the front face of the panels to retain them.

De telles installations, connues, présentent l'inconvénient de nécessiter des clefs pour retenir les panneaux qui doivent rester amovibles pour pouvoir être démontés pour être remplacés. De plus, même si les panneaux ne sont pas destinés à être démontés, leur fixation par vis sur les crémaillères créerait des difficultés très importantes et, de plus, esthétiquement, il y aurait les emplacements des vis, aussi choisit-on de manière quasi générale la fixation par des clefs.Such known installations have the drawback of requiring keys to retain the panels which must remain removable in order to be able to be dismantled in order to be replaced. In addition, even if the panels are not intended to be dismantled, their fixing by screws on the racks would create very significant difficulties and, moreover, aesthetically, there would be the locations of the screws, so we choose almost generally fixing by keys.

Un autre inconvénient des installations connues est celui de la mise en place des crémaillères.Another drawback of known installations is that of the installation of racks.

De manière générale, la précision avec laquelle sont réalisés les murs étant assez grossière, il est relativement difficile et surtout très long de fixer les crémaillères car toutes les crémaillères d'un même mur doivent être parallèles. Dans ces conditions pour compenser les irrégularités du support il faut prévoir des cales à certains endroits entre les crémaillères et le support. Ce travail d'ajustage est très long car il ne peut se faire que progressivement, d'une crémaillère à l'autre.In general, the precision with which the walls are made being quite coarse, it is relatively difficult and especially very long to fix the racks because all the racks of the same wall must be parallel. In these conditions to compensate for irregularities in the support, it is necessary to provide shims for certain places between the racks and the support. This adjustment work is very long because it can only be done gradually, from one rack to another.

Enfin, il faut non seulement que les crémaillères soient toutes situées dans un mêmes plan mais également qu'elles soient parallèles. Or, ce parallélisme est difficile à réaliser, précisément parce que le support est irrégulier.Finally, it is not only necessary that the racks are all located in the same plane but also that they are parallel. However, this parallelism is difficult to achieve, precisely because the support is irregular.

Comme ce parallélisme n'est jamais parfait et que les profilés peuvent être fixés avec des ondulations et que les panneaux intercalaires sont coupés en laissant une marge de sécurité, cela se traduit par des jours irréguliers entre les profilés, ou entre les bords de deux panneaux voisins. Or, ces jours sont particulièrement gênants sur le plan esthétique, d'autant plus qu'ils peuvent être irréguliers.As this parallelism is never perfect and the profiles can be fixed with corrugations and the intermediate panels are cut leaving a safety margin, this results in irregular days between the profiles, or between the edges of two panels neighbors. However, these days are particularly troublesome from an aesthetic point of view, especially since they can be irregular.

La présente invention a pour but de remédier à ces inconvénients et se propose de créer une installation de pose de panneaux sans fixation visible, notamment pour l'habillage de murs et/ou la mise en place d'étagères ou équipements suspendus ou de présentation, composé de profilés ou de crémaillères recevant les panneaux ou/et les étagères ou équipement par l'intermédiaire de consoles, équerres ou crochets, et qui soient d'une mise en place particulièrement simple tout en offrant une esthétique impeccable, supprimant les joints irréguliers entre les panneaux ou les profilés, et permettant d'installer d'une manière particulièrement simple non seulement les panneaux mais également les profilés avec un parallélisme parfait par rapport aux panneaux.The present invention aims to remedy these drawbacks and proposes to create an installation for installing panels without visible fixing, in particular for covering walls and / or installing shelves or hanging or display equipment, composed of profiles or racks receiving panels and / or shelves or equipment via consoles, brackets or hooks, and which are particularly simple to set up while offering impeccable aesthetics, eliminating irregular joints between panels or profiles, and allowing to install in a particularly simple way not only the panels but also the profiles with a perfect parallelism with respect to the panels.

A cet effet l'invention concerne une installation du type défini ci-dessus, caractérisée en ce qu'elle comprend :
   - des pièces d'appui reliées solidairement aux panneaux pour s'engager élastiquement et de manière amovible dans les logements formés sur les crémaillères entre chaque branche principale, la branche latérale et la branche d'appui,
ces pièces d'appui ayant une section correspondant à celle du logement,
   - la hauteur des pièces d'appui étant choisie en fonction du niveau souhaité pour la face avant du panneau par rapport à la crémaillère.To this end, the invention relates to an installation of the type defined above, characterized in that it comprises:
- supporting parts connected integrally to the panels to engage elastically and removably in the housings formed on the racks between each main branch, the lateral branch and the support branch,
these support pieces having a section corresponding to that of the housing,
- The height of the support pieces being chosen as a function of the level desired for the front face of the panel with respect to the rack.

Dans l'installation selon l'invention, les panneaux sont montés par simple pression sans organe de fixation apparent et les bords des panneaux peuvent ainsi être adaptés de manière précise soit à la largeur de la partie centrale des crémaillères, soit seulement à la largeur nécessaire au passage des consoles, les crémaillères étant alors elles-mêmes cachées ou encore à panneaux jointifs. Cette installation se fait de manière précise, sans qu'il ne soit nécessaire de prévoir du jeu entre les panneaux et/ou les crémaillères, jeu rendu nécessaire dans les techniques anciennes à cause de l'imprécision relative de la mise en place des crémaillères.In the installation according to the invention, the panels are mounted by simple pressure without any visible fixing member and the edges of the panels can thus be precisely adapted either to the width of the central part of the racks, or only to the necessary width when the consoles pass, the racks are then themselves hidden or with adjoining panels. This installation is done in a precise manner, without it being necessary to provide clearance between the panels and / or the racks, clearance made necessary in the old techniques because of the relative imprecision of the placement of the racks.

La mise en place des pièces d'appui sur les panneaux se fait simplement en mettant les pièces d'appui dans les logements des deux crémaillères. Puis après avoir enduit de colle la surface d'appui des pièces, on place le panneau entre les crémaillères et on maintient l'ensemble le temps nécessaire au collage. Ces pièces d'appui facilitent considérablement l'installation des crémaillères. En effet, et en procédant différemment des procédures connues, on fixe d'abord un panneau à deux crémaillères elles-mêmes non encore fixées au support (mur). Pour cela on place les pièces d'appui dans les logements des crémaillères, on met la colle et on plaque le panneau sur les organes d'appui placés dans les deux crémaillères, en appliquant étroitement les crémaillères contre les deux bords du panneau. On serre ensemble le temps du collage. Après la prise de la colle, on obtient un ensemble solidaire formé du panneau et des crémaillères de long de ses deux bords. Le panneau étant rigide, il tient les crémaillères qui restent ainsi naturellement parallèles et à l'écartement approprié. L'ensemble ainsi constitué peut se mettre en place sur un support tel qu'un mur, même si ce support est plus ou moins régulier. On peut ainsi fixer les crémaillères en plaçant les cales d'épaisseur au bon endroit sans qu'à l'occasion de la mise en place on ne déforme les crémaillères en les tirant dans les creux ou en les faisant sortir au passage des bosses.The positioning of the support pieces on the panels is done simply by putting the support pieces in the housings of the two racks. Then after coating the support surface of the parts with adhesive, the panel is placed between the racks and the assembly is maintained for the time necessary for bonding. These support pieces considerably facilitate the installation of racks. Indeed, and by proceeding differently from the known procedures, a panel is first fixed to two racks which are themselves not yet fixed to the support (wall). To do this, place the support pieces in the housings of the racks, put the glue and plate the panel on the support members placed in the two racks, applying the racks tightly against the two edges of the panel. We tighten together during the collage. After taking the glue, we obtain an integral assembly formed by the panel and racks along its two edges. The panel being rigid, it holds the racks which thus remain naturally parallel and at the appropriate spacing. The assembly thus formed can be put in place on a support such as a wall, even if this support is more or less regular. It is thus possible to fix the racks by placing the shims in the right place without, during the installation, the racks are deformed by pulling them in the hollows or by bringing them out when the bumps pass.

Cette mise en place est beaucoup plus facile que la mise en place des crémaillères en utilisant des règles et des niveaux à bulles pour assurer le parallélisme et la rectitude des crémaillères sur le support.This installation is much easier than the installation of the racks using rules and spirit levels to ensure the parallelism and the straightness of the racks on the support.

En fait, dans le cas général, l'installation des crémaillères se fait en utilisant le principe ci-dessus mais en procédant par itération à partir d'une première crémaillère installée sur le support. Cette première crémaillère reçoit alors un premier panneau dont le bord destiné à cette crémaillère est muni des pièces d'appui et dont l'autre bord porte les pièces d'appui tenant elles-mêmes la seconde crémaillère. Selon une variante évoquée ultérieurement, la liaison entre les crémaillère et le panneau peut se faire à l'aide d'outils appropriés, permettant un montage amovible sans avoir à fixer d'emblée les pièces d'appui.In fact, in the general case, the installation of the racks is done using the above principle but proceeding by iteration from a first rack installed on the support. This first rack then receives a first panel whose edge intended for this rack is provided with support pieces and whose other edge carries the support pieces themselves holding the second rack. According to a variant mentioned later, the connection between the rack and the panel can be done using appropriate tools, allowing removable mounting without having to fix the supporting pieces from the start.

Puis on fixe cette seconde crémaillère et on répète l'opération à partir de cette seconde crémaillère pour installer une troisième crémaillère en utilisant un panneau de largeur appropriée au nouvel intervalle.Then this second rack is fixed and the operation is repeated from this second rack to install a third rack using a panel of appropriate width for the new interval.

L'invention permet ainsi de réaliser facilement une installation à crémaillères et panneaux d'intervalles ou de largeurs identiques ou variables suivant les nécessités du local à équiper ou des intentions esthétiques.The invention thus makes it possible to easily carry out an installation with racks and panels of intervals or of identical or variable widths according to the needs of the room to be equipped or aesthetic intentions.

Les panneaux de l'installation sont facilement démontables ce qui permet de modifier la décoration de l'installation ou de remplacer des panneaux lisses par exemple par des panneaux à trous servant à recevoir des accessoires de présentation ou autres.The installation panels are easily removable, which makes it possible to modify the decoration of the installation or to replace smooth panels, for example with panels with holes used to receive presentation or other accessories.

Cela permet également des interventions sur des installations terminées, par exemple pour des interventions sur l'installation électrique.This also allows interventions on completed installations, for example for interventions on the electrical installation.

Il est facile d'accéder à des câbles en attente entre l'habillage et le mur pour alimenter des éclairages d'étagères d'un panneau. Pour cela il suffit de dégager un côté du panneau en jouant sur l'élasticité des pièces d'appui de l'autre bord du panneau, fonctionnant comme charnière.It is easy to access cables on hold between the paneling and the wall to supply shelf lighting for a panel. For this it suffices to release one side of the panel by playing on the elasticity of the support pieces on the other edge of the panel, operating as a hinge.

A la fin de l'intervention on refixe le côté soulevé du panneau.At the end of the intervention, the raised side of the panel is reattached.

Une autre possibilité consiste à remplacer certains panneaux par des glaces auxquelles on aura fixé les pièces d'appui.Another possibility is to replace certain panels with glass to which the support pieces will have been fixed.

De façon générale, et contrairement aux installations connues, les habillages ou installations pour étagères, présentoirs ou autres peuvent se démonter et se remonter sans abîmer les panneaux.In general, and unlike known installations, covers or installations for shelves, displays or the like can be dismantled and reassembled without damaging the panels.

Un autre avantage de l'invention est de simplifier considérablement le travail sur le chantier et de permettre une finition parfaite. En effet, comme l'intervalle des panneaux ou des crémaillères est obtenu à partir des panneaux et non l'inverse comme dans l'art antérieur, il est facile de fixer les pièces d'appui sur les panneaux pour que ceux-ci soient parfaitement jointifs entre eux ou aux crémaillères et cela en partant de panneaux coupés en atelier sans nécessiter d'usinage. Cela rend à contrario inutile les éventuels ajustages des bords du panneau à effectuer sur le chantier, comme cela était nécessaire selon les techniques connues, d'autant plus que de telles interventions exigent beaucoup de soins dans leur exécution pour ne pas abîmer la face apparente des panneaux qui lorsque le revêtement est fragile, risque de s'écailler. Au contraire, comme selon l'invention les panneaux sont préparés en atelier, ce travail de découpe des panneaux peut se faire avec toute la précision et le soin nécessaire.Another advantage of the invention is to considerably simplify the work on the site and to allow a perfect finish. Indeed, as the interval of the panels or racks is obtained from the panels and not the reverse as in the prior art, it is easy to fix the support pieces on the panels so that they are perfectly joined together or to the racks and this starting from panels cut in the workshop without requiring machining. Conversely, this makes any adjustments to the edges of the panel to be carried out on the site unnecessary, as was necessary according to known techniques, all the more so since such interventions require a lot of care in their execution so as not to damage the visible face of the panels which, when the coating is fragile, risk of chipping. On the contrary, as according to the invention the panels are prepared in the workshop, this work of cutting the panels can be done with all the precision and the necessary care.

Suivant une autre caractéristique la branche principale et la branche latérale ont des dents et les pièces d'appui ont des encoches dans des positions homologues à celles des dents de la branche principale et de la branche latérale.According to another characteristic, the main branch and the lateral branch have teeth and the support pieces have notches in positions homologous to those of the teeth of the main branch and of the lateral branch.

Ces dents sont au sens général des organes d'accrochage renforçant la tenue des pièces dans les logements. Cette retenue peut également être assurée par le pincement de l'ouverture des logements.These teeth are in the general sense of the hooking members strengthening the holding of the parts in the housings. This retention can also be ensured by pinching the opening of the housings.

Suivant une autre caractéristique la pièce d'appui se compose d'une partie principale venant dans le logement du profilé et d'une partie latérale formant avec la partie principale une gorge pour coiffer la branche latérale.According to another characteristic, the support piece consists of a main part coming into the housing of the profile and a side part forming with the main part a groove for covering the side branch.

Dans le cas de panneaux lourds ou destinés à être chargés lourdement, il peut être intéressant de renforcer la tenue des panneaux par les pièces d'appui soit en allongeant ou en multipliant les pièces d'appui sur les crémaillères ou en modifiant les crémaillères et les pièces d'appui en ce que chaque branche latérale de la crémaillère comporte des dents sur la face extérieure et la partie latérale de la pièce d'appui comporte des encoches dans une position homologue à celle des dents.In the case of heavy panels or panels intended to be loaded heavily, it may be advantageous to strengthen the holding of the panels by the support pieces either by lengthening or multiplying the support pieces on the racks or by modifying the racks and the supporting parts in that each lateral branch of the rack has teeth on the outside and the lateral part of the supporting part has notches in a position homologous to that of the teeth.

Suivant d'autres caractéristiques :

  • la partie latérale est moins longue que la partie principale.
  • la pièce d'appui a, en partie avant, des arêtes arrondies.
  • la pièce d'appui est coupée à la longueur dans un cordon profilé.
According to other characteristics:
  • the side part is shorter than the main part.
  • the support piece has, at the front, rounded edges.
  • the support piece is cut to length in a profiled bead.

Comme dans toute installation, il y a, selon l'invention, des pièces particulières telles que des profilés ou crémaillères correspondant à la moitié de la section des profilés ou crémaillères usuels par exemple pour les défauts d'habillage ou les coins.As in any installation, there are, according to the invention, specific parts such as profiles or racks corresponding to half the section of the usual profiles or racks, for example for cladding defects or corners.

De même, pour des habillages avec des panneaux sur des largeurs importantes, supérieures à celle d'un panneau, on utilise des parties de profilés limités simplement au logement recevant les pièces d'appui mais n'apparaissant pas à l'avant des panneaux qui seront alors jointifs.Likewise, for claddings with panels over large widths, greater than that of a panel, sections of sections are used which are simply limited to the housing receiving the support pieces but which do not appear at the front of the panels which will then be joined.

L'invention concerne également un outil pour la mise en place de panneaux et de crémaillères, cet outil étant caractérisé en ce qu'il se compose d'une plaque d'épaisseur voisine de celle d'une console, ayant au moins une encoche pour être accroché dans un orifice de la crémaillère, cette plaque portant un coulisseau terminé à l'avant par une surface d'appui, cette plaque portant une vis de serrage s'appuyant sur le coulisseau pour le plaquer contre la face avant d'un panneau, lorsque l'outil est relié par son encoche, à la crémaillère.The invention also relates to a tool for installing panels and racks, this tool being characterized in that it consists of a plate thickness close to that of a console, having at least one notch for be hung in a hole in the rack, this plate carrying a slide terminated at the front by a bearing surface, this plate carrying a clamping screw pressing on the slide to press it against the front face of a panel , when the tool is connected by its notch, to the rack.

Cet outil peut servir de « serre-joint » pour tenir le panneau pressé contre les pièces d'appui logées dans les crémaillères pendant le temps de collage ; en variante, cet outil permet de ne pas coller d'emblée les pièces d'appui au panneau tout en tenant les crémaillères sur le panneau pour la mise en place des crémaillères sur le support.This tool can serve as a “clamp” to hold the panel pressed against the support pieces housed in the racks during the bonding time; as a variant, this tool makes it possible not to immediately glue the support pieces to the panel while holding the racks on the panel for the placement of the racks on the support.

Selon une autre caractéristique intéressante la plaque comporte des nervures d'écartement définissant une épaisseur légèrement supérieure à celle d'une console.According to another advantageous characteristic, the plate has spacing ribs defining a thickness slightly greater than that of a console.

L'outil de serrage ainsi réalisé est utile non seulement pour serrer le panneau sur une crémaillère mais également pour positionner le panneau par rapport à la crémaillère dans le cas d'un panneau à feuillure, coiffant la partie centrale de la crémaillère pour ne laisser avec le panneau voisin qu'un joint permettant juste le passage des consoles ou équerres.The clamping tool thus produced is useful not only for clamping the panel on a rack but also for positioning the panel relative to the rack in the case of a rebate panel, covering the central part of the rack so as to leave with the neighboring panel only a joint allowing just the passage of the brackets or brackets.

Les figures 1 à 3 montrent de manière schématique la structure d'une installation pour accrochage d'étagères ou d'équipements suspendus selon deux variantes d'installation, connues qui seront décrites ci-après à l'aide des figures pour mieux expliciter cet art antérieur.Figures 1 to 3 show schematically the structure of an installation for hanging shelves or hanging equipment according to two variants of installation, known which will be described below using the figures to better explain this art prior.

Selon le mode de réalisation de la figure 1, l'installation se compose de crémaillères 1 fixées à un support 2 tel qu'un mur par des moyens de liaison tels que des vis à cheville 4, 5. Ces crémaillères 1 sont destinées à recevoir des panneaux d'habillage ou de support 6, 7 retenus à la crémaillère 1 par des pièces d'accrochage en forme de clefs 8.According to the embodiment of Figure 1, the installation consists of racks 1 fixed to a support 2 such as a wall by connecting means such as dowel screws 4, 5. These racks 1 are intended to receive cladding or support panels 6, 7 retained on the rack 1 by hooking parts in the form of keys 8.

De manière plus détaillée, la crémaillère 1 se compose d'une partie centrale 11 reliée par des branches d'appui 12 à des branches latérales 13, relevées. La partie centrale se compose de deux branches principales 14 reliées en partie haute par une traverse 15. Cette traverse 15 est munie d'orifices 16 en forme de trous par exemple rectangulaires servant à recevoir des consoles portant les étagères ou autres présentoirs ainsi que les clefs 8 retenant les panneaux 6.In more detail, the rack 1 consists of a central part 11 connected by support branches 12 to lateral branches 13, raised. The central part consists of two main branches 14 connected in the upper part by a cross member 15. This cross member 15 is provided with orifices 16 in the form of holes, for example rectangular holes used to receive consoles carrying the shelves or other displays as well as the keys 8 retaining the panels 6.

Les branches d'appui 12 qui bordent de chaque côté la partie centrale 11 en étant reliées aux branches principales 14, comportent des perçages pour le passage des vis de fixation 4. Ces branches d'appui sont terminées par les branches latérales 13, relevées servant d'appui aux panneaux 6.The support branches 12 which border on each side the central part 11 while being connected to the main branches 14, include holes for the passage of the fixing screws 4. These support branches are terminated by the lateral branches 13, raised serving supporting the panels 6.

La clef 8 (figure 2) retenant les panneaux 6 se compose d'une plaque 81, venant devant les panneaux 6 et d'une branche perpendiculaire 82 munie d'une découpe 83 pour s'accrocher dans les perçages 16 de la partie centrale 11 de la crémaillère 1.The key 8 (Figure 2) retaining the panels 6 consists of a plate 81, coming in front of the panels 6 and of a perpendicular branch 82 provided with a cutout 83 to hang in the holes 16 of the central part 11 of the rack 1.

La variante connue de la figure 3 se distingue de celle de la figure 1 en ce que les panneaux 7 comportent une feuillure 71 qui permet aux panneaux de coiffer l'extrémité avant de la partie centrale 11, les bords en regard des panneaux 7 ne laissant qu'un intervalle correspondant sensiblement à l'épaisseur de la branche 82 de la clef et qui correspond également à l'épaisseur des consoles ou équerres.The known variant of FIG. 3 differs from that of FIG. 1 in that the panels 7 comprise a rebate 71 which allows the panels to cover the front end of the central part 11, the facing edges of the panels 7 leaving no that an interval corresponding substantially to the thickness of the branch 82 of the key and which also corresponds to the thickness of the brackets or brackets.

Par ailleurs, il est à remarquer que la clef 8 de l'exemple de la figure 3 a une encoche 83 placée de manière à tenir compte de la surépaisseur des panneaux 7 par rapport à la face avant de la partie centrale 11 de la crémaillère 1.Furthermore, it should be noted that the key 8 of the example in FIG. 3 has a notch 83 placed so as to take account of the extra thickness of the panels 7 relative to the front face of the central part 11 of the rack 1 .

L'installation de pose de panneaux sans fixation visible, notamment pour l'habillage de murs et/ou la mise en place d'étagères ou d'équipements suspendus et outil pour la mise en place d'une telle installation d'étagères ou d'équipements suspendus selon la présente invention telle que représentée aux figures 4 à 8 se compose également de crémaillères 101 en forme de oméga fixées à un support 102 dont un exemple est représenté en coupe à la figure 4. Ces crémaillères comprennent une partie centrale 111 formée de deux branches principales 114 et d'une traverse 115 munie des orifices 116 recevant les consoles ou équerres. La partie principale est bordée de parties latérales formées également de branches d'appui 112 et terminées par des branches relevées 113.The installation of installation of panels without visible fixing, in particular for the covering of walls and / or the installation of shelves or suspended equipment and tool for the installation of such an installation of shelves or suspended equipment according to the present invention as shown in Figures 4 to 8 also consists of racks 101 in the shape of an omega fixed to a support 102, an example of which is shown in section in Figure 4. These racks include a central part 111 formed two main branches 114 and a cross member 115 provided with the orifices 116 receiving the brackets or brackets. The main part is bordered by lateral parts also formed by support branches 112 and terminated by raised branches 113.

Chaque fois une branche principale 114, la branche d'appui 112 et la branche latérale 113 correspondantes délimitent un logement 117 destiné à recevoir un organe d'appui 120 ou 130 (figures 5, 6). Dans l'exemple de la figure 4, la branche principale 114 comporte une dent 118 et la branche latérale 113 comporte deux dents 118 tournées vers l'intérieur. Cette branche comporte également trois dents 118 à l'extérieur, pour les raisons qui apparaîtront ultérieurement.Each time a main branch 114, the support branch 112 and the corresponding lateral branch 113 define a housing 117 intended to receive a support member 120 or 130 (FIGS. 5, 6). In the example of FIG. 4, the main branch 114 has a tooth 118 and the lateral branch 113 has two teeth 118 turned inward. This branch also has three teeth 118 on the outside, for the reasons which will appear later.

Selon un premier mode de réalisation, la pièce d'appui 120 (figure 5) est un morceau d'un matériau ayant une certaine élasticité, correspondant par exemple à une dureté shore 70, et coupée dans un cordon ou une barre d'un tel matériau.According to a first embodiment, the support piece 120 (FIG. 5) is a piece of a material having a certain elasticity, corresponding for example to a shore hardness 70, and cut in a bead or a bar of such a material.

Cette pièce d'appui présente une section rectangulaire avec une face d'appui 121, deux faces latérales 122 et un fond 123 relié aux faces latérales par des parties arrondies 124. Enfin, sur les côtés 122 il y a des encoches 125 dans des positions homologues aux dents 118 des logements 117.This support piece has a rectangular section with a support face 121, two lateral faces 122 and a bottom 123 connected to the lateral faces by rounded parts 124. Finally, on the sides 122 there are notches 125 in positions counterparts to teeth 118 of housing 117.

Cette pièce d'appui 120 vient se placer dans le logement 117 comme cela apparaît aux figures 7 et 8.This support piece 120 is placed in the housing 117 as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8.

La surface d'appui 121 est destinée à être collée au dos d'un panneau 106 ou 107 (figures 7 et 8).The bearing surface 121 is intended to be glued to the back of a panel 106 or 107 (Figures 7 and 8).

La figure 6 montre la section d'un autre mode de réalisation d'une pièce d'appui 130 formée d'une partie principale 141 et d'une partie latérale 151 réunies suivant le plan XX. En fait, la partie principale 141 correspond à la section de la pièce 120 mais prolongée dans le sens de la hauteur. Entre les deux parties 141, 151 on a formé une gorge 131.Figure 6 shows the section of another embodiment of a support piece 130 formed of a main part 141 and a side part 151 joined along the plane XX. In fact, the main part 141 corresponds to the section of the part 120 but extended in the height direction. Between the two parts 141, 151 a groove 131 has been formed.

La pièce d'appui 130 a, pour sa partie principale 141 une forme analogue à celle de la pièce d'appui 120 : ses faces latérales 142, 143 sont plates, de même que sa face avant 144, avec des parties arrondies 145 à la jonction.The support piece 130 has, for its main part 141 a shape similar to that of the support piece 120: its lateral faces 142, 143 are flat, as is its front face 144, with rounded parts 145 at the junction.

Dans l'exemple représenté, cette partie 141 a une hauteur sensiblement égale à celle de la branche principale 114 de la crémaillère pour que sa face d'appui 146 soit au niveau de la face avant des branches 114 de la crémaillère et permettre la mise en place des panneaux 107 montrée à la figure 8.In the example shown, this part 141 has a height substantially equal to that of the main branch 114 of the rack so that its bearing face 146 is at the level of the front face of the branches 114 of the rack and allow the installation of the panels 107 shown in FIG. 8.

Il est toutefois également possible que la hauteur de la partie 141 soit plus réduite, en fonction de l'épaisseur de panneau et de la différence de hauteur entre les branches 114 et 113. Les faces latérales 142, 143 sont munies d'encoches 147 dans des positions homologues des dents 118 des branches 114, 113.However, it is also possible that the height of the part 141 may be reduced, depending on the thickness of the panel and the difference in height between the branches 114 and 113. The side faces 142, 143 are provided with notches 147 in homologous positions of the teeth 118 of the branches 114, 113.

La partie latérale 151 a des faces latérales 152, 153 planes, une face avant 154, réunie aux faces latérales par des arrondis 155 et une face d'appui 156 dans l'alignement de la face 146. La face 152 est munie d'une encoche 159.The lateral part 151 has lateral faces 152, 153 flat, a front face 154, joined to the lateral faces by rounded 155 and a bearing face 156 in alignment with the face 146. The face 152 is provided with a notch 159.

La partie latérale 151 a une hauteur inférieure à celle de la partie principale 141.The lateral part 151 has a height less than that of the main part 141.

Comme la pièce 120, la pièce 130 vient au fond du logement 117 en appui par sa face 144 contre la branche d'appui 112 de manière à définir précisément le niveau de la surface d'appui (146, 156) et par suite la niveau du panneau.Like the part 120, the part 130 comes to the bottom of the housing 117 bearing by its face 144 against the bearing branch 112 so as to precisely define the level of the bearing surface (146, 156) and consequently the level of the panel.

Cette pièce 130 se met en place, pour la partie principale 141, comme la pièce 120, la partie latérale 151 chevauchant avec la gorge 131 la branche latérale 113.This part 130 is put in place, for the main part 141, like the part 120, the lateral part 151 overlapping with the groove 131 the lateral branch 113.

La figure 7 est une coupe montrant la mise en place de panneaux 106 sur des crémaillères 101 fixées à un support 102 tel qu'un mur. Dans cet exemple les panneaux laissent les crémaillères 101 accessibles aux consoles ou crochets non représentés, les panneaux utilisant les pièces d'appui 120.Figure 7 is a section showing the establishment of panels 106 on racks 101 fixed to a support 102 such as a wall. In this example, the panels leave the racks 101 accessible to the consoles or hooks not shown, the panels using the support pieces 120.

La figure 7A montre une variante pour des panneaux 106' de largeur relativement importante entre les crémaillères 101 et nécessitant pour arriver à une planéité parfaite que le panneau 106' soit soutenu. Pour cela on utilise un profilé 101A dont la section correspond à une partie de la section du profilé 101 pour recevoir les pièces d'appui 120. Ce profilé se compose de la branche 113 (113A) de la branche d'appui 112A correspondant à la branche 112 et de la branche 114A correspondant à une partie de la branche principale 114.FIG. 7A shows a variant for panels 106 'of relatively large width between the racks 101 and requiring, in order to arrive at perfect flatness, that the panel 106' is supported. For this we use a section 101A whose section corresponds to a part of the section of section 101 to receive the parts 120. This profile is made up of the branch 113 (113A) of the support branch 112A corresponding to the branch 112 and of the branch 114A corresponding to a part of the main branch 114.

La variante selon la figure 7B correspond à l'assemblage bord à bord de deux panneaux 106A, 106B avec appui sur un profilé 101A comme à la figure 7A, avec des pièces d'appui 120. Cette figure montre également une autre pièce spéciale, pour un coin : une partie 101B du profilé 101 ayant conservé la traverse avec les orifices formant la crémaillère.The variant according to FIG. 7B corresponds to the edge-to-edge assembly of two panels 106A, 106B with support on a profile 101A as in FIG. 7A, with support pieces 120. This figure also shows another special piece, for a corner: a part 101B of the section 101 having retained the crosspiece with the orifices forming the rack.

La figure 8 montre les deux cas de mise en place des panneaux 106 et 107 utilisant des pièces d'appui 120 ou 130 suivant que l'on veut laisser apparente toute la face avant de la partie centrale 111 ou seulement une fente pour la mise en place des consoles.FIG. 8 shows the two cases of placing panels 106 and 107 using support pieces 120 or 130 depending on whether one wants to leave visible the entire front face of the central part 111 or only a slot for placing place consoles.

La figure 9 montre la section d'un profilé 101A tel que décrit ci-dessus, avec une pièce d'appui 120.FIG. 9 shows the section of a profile 101A as described above, with a support piece 120.

La figure 10 montre un profilé 101A recevant une pièce d'appui 130.FIG. 10 shows a section 101A receiving a support piece 130.

Les figures 11 et 12 montrent un outil de serrage pour maintenir les panneaux pendant le collage des pièces d'appui. Cet outil se compose d'une plaque 160 ayant une épaisseur voisine ou inférieure à celle d'une console. Cette plaque 160 est recourbée en partie haute 161, à l'équerre pour recevoir une vis de serrage 162 munie d'une tête 163. Cette plaque 160 comporte en son milieu, des têtes de guidage 164 pour le coulisseau 165 et en partie basse des pattes 166 définissant des encoches 167 pour l'accrochage de cet outil dans les orifices de la crémaillère. La plaque 160 comporte également des nervures d'écartement 168 qui donnent à la plaque l'épaisseur que l'on veut laisser entre deux panneaux 107 installés comme cela apparaît dans la partie droite à la figure 8.Figures 11 and 12 show a clamping tool to hold the panels while gluing the support pieces. This tool consists of a plate 160 having a thickness close to or less than that of a console. This plate 160 is curved in the upper part 161, at right angles to receive a clamping screw 162 provided with a head 163. This plate 160 comprises in its middle, guide heads 164 for the slide 165 and in the lower part tabs 166 defining notches 167 for the attachment of this tool in the holes of the rack. The plate 160 also includes spacing ribs 168 which give the plate the thickness that we want to leave between two panels 107 installed as shown in the right part in FIG. 8.

Le coulisseau 165 est muni de fentes longitudinales 169 pour son guidage sur les tiges des têtes de guidage 164. Le coulisseau 165 a une partie inférieure recourbée 170 formant une surface d'appui. Par cette surface 170 l'outil s'appuie sur le devant du panneau à serrer.The slide 165 is provided with longitudinal slots 169 for guiding it on the rods of the guide heads 164. The slide 165 has a curved lower part 170 forming a bearing surface. By this surface 170 the tool rests on the front of the panel to be clamped.

Suivant la nature de l'installation, les panneaux, les pièces d'appui et les crémaillères s'installent soit en plaçant d'abord les crémaillères puis en mettant les pièces d'appui dans les logements des crémaillères, en les encollant et en disposant les panneaux sur les surfaces d'appui des pièces, et en maintenant l'ensemble serré par exemple à l'aide d'un outil comme celui des figures 11 et 12. Dans le second cas, on utilise le panneau comme gabarit de montage des crémaillères pour assurer leur alignement précis dans des cas difficiles (supports irréguliers) ou lorsque les panneaux doivent être parfaitement alignés sur les bords des parties centrales des crémaillères. Dans ce cas on met en place l'ensemble formé par un panneau dont un bord est muni de pièces d'appui et l'autre bord est muni de pièces d'appui portant elles-mêmes une crémaillère. On introduit les pièces d'appui, libres, dans la crémaillère déjà installée et on presse le panneau contre le mur. On peut alors fixer la crémaillère par des vis que l'on place dans les trous du second logement de la crémaillère (c'est-à-dire le logement qui ne reçoit pas les pièces d'appui fixées au panneau). Puis on enlève le panneau et on fixe le rail avec des vis placées dans le logement de la crémaillère précédemment cachée par le bord du panneau. On continue à opérer de cette manière, en procédant par itération, en se reportant chaque fois à une crémaillère déjà installée pour placer la crémaillère suivante en respectant précisément les écartements grâce au panneau constituant un gabarit.Depending on the nature of the installation, the panels, the support pieces and the racks are installed either by first placing the racks then by putting the support pieces in the housings of the racks, by gluing them and having the panels on the bearing surfaces of the parts, and keeping the assembly tight, for example using a tool like that of FIGS. 11 and 12. In the second case, the panel is used as a mounting template for the racks to ensure their precise alignment in difficult cases (irregular supports) or when the panels must be perfectly aligned on the edges of the central parts of the racks. In this case, the assembly formed by a panel is put in place, one edge of which is provided with support pieces and the other edge is provided with support pieces which themselves carry a rack. The free supporting parts are introduced into the rack already installed and the panel is pressed against the wall. We can then fix the rack with screws that we place in the holes of the second housing of the rack (that is to say the housing which does not receive the support pieces fixed to the panel). Then remove the panel and fix the rail with screws placed in the rack housing previously hidden by the edge of the panel. We continue to operate in this way, proceeding by iteration, each time referring to a rack already installed to place the next rack while precisely respecting the spacings thanks to the panel constituting a template.
