Definitions

  • the invention relates to an assembly comprising at least two panels which are movable relative to one another.
  • Each panel consists of two longitudinal cylindrical bars connected by transverse bars having the function of spacer.
  • Some panels are made movable relative to each other by means of a cylindrical connecting rod.
  • Each panel is fixed in rotation to the connecting bar by one end of its longitudinal bars.
  • each of these ends carries an assembly part comprising a sleeve engaged on this end and a ring split radially so as to be engaged laterally on the connecting rod while playing on the elasticity of the material constituting the ring.
  • the ring can be easily engaged and disengaged laterally from the connecting rod to disassemble or assemble the assembly. It follows that improper maneuvering of the panel can give rise to stresses liable to cause the unexpected lateral disengagement of the rings of the connecting piece.
  • the invention therefore aims to overcome this drawback by providing an articulated assembly in which the panel cannot be disengaged laterally from the connecting piece unintentionally.
  • an assembly of two panels comprising two parallel cylindrical longitudinal bars, each bar having one end carrying an assembly part comprising a first sleeve engaged on this end and a hooking member on a connecting part.
  • the fastening member of at least two adjacent connecting pieces of the respective panels comprises a second sleeve perpendicular to the first sleeve, the connecting piece comprising two parallel cylindrical connecting bars fixed relative to each other, the second sleeves of the connecting pieces being engaged on ends of the respective connecting bars.
  • the other two attachment members may for example comprise a ring split radially so as to be engaged laterally on one of the connecting bars in order to leave free one end of each bar of connection which then constitutes the foot of the bar resting vertically on the ground by acting as an upright, for example in the case of a folding bed or playpen.
  • all the assembly parts comprise a second sleeve perpendicular to the first sleeve, each second sleeve being engaged on one end of one of the connecting bars.
  • each longitudinal panel bar benefits from attachment to a connecting bar by means of a sleeve. Consequently, none of the four longitudinal bars can disengage laterally from the connecting bar to which it is fixed. This improves the robustness of the assembly.
  • the assembly may comprise a single connecting piece, each of the second sleeves being engaged on one end of the connecting bars, or two connecting pieces between the two panels, each connecting piece being associated with two ends of bars adjacent to the respective panels.
  • FIG. 1 shows an assembly 2 of two plane panels 4 and 6 having respective longitudinal median axes of symmetry 3, 5.
  • the assembly 2 also has an axis of transverse symmetry perpendicular to the axes 3, 5.
  • Each panel 4 and 6 comprises two parallel cylindrical longitudinal bars 8 and 10 respectively.
  • the two longitudinal bars of each panel are connected by spacers 12 in the form of bars extending perpendicular to the axis 3, 5 of the panel and regularly spaced.
  • Each longitudinal bar 8 and 10 has one end, respectively 14 and 15 carrying an assembly part, respectively 16 and 18.
  • the assembly parts 16, 18 of the panels 4, 6 are adjacent.
  • Each assembly part 16 and 18 comprises a first sleeve, respectively 20 and 22 engaged on the end 14, 15 of the bar.
  • Each assembly part 16, 18 also comprises a fastening member on a connecting part.
  • the fastening member of each connecting piece comprises a second sleeve respectively 24 and 26 perpendicular to the first sleeve 20, 22 and comprising a terminal partition.
  • the assembly 2 comprises a single connecting piece 28.
  • This comprises two connecting bars 30, 32 parallel cylindrical fixed relative to each other by means of spacers 34 connecting the bars 30, 32 and extending perpendicular to them.
  • the second sleeves 24, 26 of the connecting pieces 16, 18 are engaged respectively on the ends 36, 38 of the respective connecting bars 30, 32.
  • Each bar and each spacer of the assembly here consists of a wooden core covered with a plastic sheath.
  • Each panel 4, 6 is first constituted by means of longitudinal bars 8, 10 and spacers 12 which connect them.
  • the connecting piece 28 is also produced by means of the connecting bars 30, 32 and spacers 34.
  • the second sleeves 24, 26 of the connecting pieces 16, 18 are engaged on the ends 36, 38 of the connecting bars 30 , 32.
  • the adjacent ends 14, 15 of the longitudinal bars 8, 10 of each panel 4, 6 are engaged simultaneously in the first sleeves 20, 22 of the connecting pieces 16, 18 associated with this panel.
  • the longitudinal axes 40, 42 of the connecting bars 30, 32 constitute the axes of rotation of the panels 4, 6 relative to the connecting piece 28, by rotation of the second sleeves 24, 26 of the connecting pieces on the ends 36, 38 of the connecting bars.
  • the assembly may include a large number of panels assembled two by two in the manner which has just been described, for example to constitute a folding bed or playpen, the connecting bars 30, 32 and the spacers 12 being arranged vertically.
  • a small foot can be fixed in the extension of the connecting bars 30, 32 for example by screwing them into the end 36, 38 of the connecting bars through the end wall of the sleeves 24, 26.
  • the horizontal spacers 34 of the connecting pieces can also be used for hanging a mattress support.
  • the mattress support comprises for example on its periphery split hooking rings as mentioned above which are engaged on spacers 34 located at the same vertical level. The choice of spacers makes it possible to modify the fixing height of the mattress.
  • the assembly is not symmetrical with respect to the axes 3, 5.
  • the ends of the longitudinal bars 8, 10 carry assembly parts comprising ring-shaped hooking members having a radial slot for their attachment to the connecting bars 30, 32, these then extending downward beyond the lower longitudinal bars to form feet.
  • Figure 2 partially shows an assembly 50 according to a second embodiment of the invention in which the same elements have the same references.
  • the assembly 50 comprises two connecting pieces between the two panels 4 and 6, identical and symmetrical to each other with respect to the axes 3 and 5, a single connecting piece 52 being shown.
  • the connecting piece 52 is associated with two adjacent ends 14, 15 of the longitudinal bars of the respective panels 4, 6.
  • the connecting piece 52 comprises two parallel cylindrical connecting bars 54 of which only one is visible on the sectional section.
  • the connecting bars are engaged in the second sleeves 24, 26 of the connecting pieces 16, 18.
  • the side wall 56 of each connecting bar 54 is completely covered by the sleeve 26 engaged on this bar.
  • the adjacent connecting bars 54 are connected by a spacer, which here is a flat plate 58, fixed to one end 60 of each bar 54 close to the orifice of the second sleeve 24, 26.
  • a screw-nut connection 62, 64 coaxial to each connecting bar 54 ensures the fixing of the connecting piece 52 with the sleeves 24, 26.
  • Each bar 54 of a connecting piece 52 is coaxial with a bar of the other connecting piece not shown.
  • the two axes 40, 42 of the four connecting bars therefore constitute the axes of rotation of the panels 4, 6 with respect to the connecting pieces 52, by rotation of the second sleeves 24, 26 of the connecting pieces 16, 18 on the bars of link 54.
  • the relative mobility of the panels 4, 6 is thus identical to that of the first embodiment.
  • FIG. 3 presents an assembly 69 according to another variant of the first embodiment in which the same elements have the same references, and in which the spacers 34 are very short so that the connecting bars 30, 32 of the connecting piece 70 are a few millimeters apart.
  • the two panels 4, 6 are coplanar.
  • the assembly comprises a locking piece 72. This is removably attached to a longitudinal bar 8, 10 of each of the panels 4, 6 while being immobilized in the direction perpendicular to the plane of the panels 4, 6 so as to immobilize one in relation to the other.
  • the locking piece 72 comprises an elongated plate 76 on which are fixed at least two cylindrical rings, here four rings 78, having each a radial slot 80 extending in a direction parallel to the plate 76. These rings 78 are engaged on the bars 8, 10 and provide the aforementioned fixing of the locking piece 72. The engagement of the rings 78 on the bars 8 , 10 is performed by playing on the elasticity of the plastic material constituting each ring.
  • the locking piece 72 once put in place prevents the panels from rotating about the axes 40, 42 of the connecting bars 30, 32.
  • the rings 78 are spaced apart by a distance equal to a multiple of the distance between the spacers 12 of the panels. So when it is desired to remove the locking piece 72, it suffices to bring a ring 78 facing a spacer 12 so that all the rings are facing a spacer, and to tilt the plate 76 around the 'axis of the bar 8, 10 corresponding so that an edge of the slot 80 of each ring 78 is supported on a spacer 12, which simultaneously ensures the deformation of all the rings 78 and their release from the bars 8, 10 .
  • This locking piece can of course be used with another embodiment of the invention, such as the second mode mentioned above.
