Description

La présente invention concerne le repérage des emplacements des organes de fixation et des organes de raccordement de radiateurs sur les chantiers.The present invention relates to the identification of locations of fasteners and fasteners connection of radiators on construction sites.

Sur les chantiers de construction, les constructeurs aimeraient retarder aussi longtemps que possible (et presque jusqu'à la remise des clés) la livraison des radiateurs. En effet, une fois les radiateurs livrés sur le chantier, ils risquent d'être volés, ou détériorés, ou encore salis par de la peinture, en devant alors être remplacés ou nettoyés. De plus, le retardement de la livraison des radiateurs permet de différer le moment de leur paiement, en soulageant ainsi la trésorerie du constructeur. Enfin, une fois les radiateurs mis en place, il est souvent nécessaire de les déposer, pour permettre d'effectuer des travaux de finition (tels que des travaux de peinture et de tapisserie), puis une fois ces travaux finis de les remettre en position ce qui oblige, à ces moments, à des interventions supplémentaires des équipes de plombiers. On construction sites, builders would like to delay as long as possible (and almost until the keys are handed over) delivery of radiators. Indeed, once the radiators delivered to the site, they may be stolen, or damaged, or otherwise soiled with paint, then must be replaced or cleaned. Of more, the delay in the delivery of radiators allows to postpone the time of their payment, in thus relieving the builder's cash flow. Finally, Once the radiators are in place, it is often necessary to deposit them, to allow to perform finishing works (such as painting and tapestry), then once these works finished putting them back in position which forces these moments, to additional interventions of the teams plumbers.

Malgré ces inconvénients le constructeur devait jusqu'ici disposer sur place des radiateurs bien avant la fin du chantier pour déterminer à quels emplacements doivent être prévus sur les murs les supports pour les platines de fixation des radiateurs et en quelles positions doivent intervenir, en bout des tuyauteries, les manchons de raccordement d'entrée et de sortie portés par ces radiateurs, sachant que ces emplacements et positions varient bien sûr selon les dimensions du radiateur.Despite these drawbacks, the manufacturer until now had to have radiators on site well before the end of the work to determine at which locations must be provided on the walls the supports for the radiator mounting plates and in which positions must intervene, at the end of piping, inlet connection sleeves and output carried by these radiators, knowing that these locations and positions vary of course depending on the dimensions of the radiator.

La présente invention a pour objet de remédier aux inconvénients mentionnés ci-dessus et elle propose à cet effet un gabarit conçu pour reproduire à volonté la plupart des dimensions de radiateurs en donnant exactement, pour chaque dimension de radiateur, l'emplacement exact des platines de fixation et des manchons de raccordement de ce radiateur.The object of the present invention is to remedy to the disadvantages mentioned above and she suggests this effect a template designed to reproduce at will the most dimensions of radiators giving exactly, for each radiator dimension, the exact location of the mounting plates and connection sleeves for this radiator.

A cet effet, le gabarit selon l'invention se caractérise en ce qu'il comprend :

  • un ensemble de deux tubes verticaux coulissant l'un dans l'autre, avec un moyen d'immobilisation réglable du tube intérieur par rapport au tube extérieur,
  • deux ensembles coulissants horizontaux associés respectivement aux extrémités libres opposées du tube vertical intérieur et du tube vertical extérieur, chaque dit ensemble coulissant horizontal comprenant un élément de coulisse extérieur, un élément de coulisse intérieur et un moyen d'immobilisation réglable de l'élément de coulisse intérieur par rapport à l'élément de coulisse extérieur,
  • des manchons, destinés à figurer des manchons de raccordement de radiateur, qui sont solidaires respectivement des extrémités libres de chacun des deux ensembles coulissants horizontaux, et
  • des plaques, destinées à figurer des platines de fixation de radiateur, qui sont reliées à chacun des deux éléments de chaque dit ensemble coulissant horizontal.
To this end, the template according to the invention is characterized in that it comprises:
  • a set of two vertical tubes sliding one inside the other, with an adjustable immobilization means for the inner tube relative to the outer tube,
  • two horizontal sliding assemblies associated respectively with the opposite free ends of the internal vertical tube and the external vertical tube, each said horizontal sliding assembly comprising an external sliding element, an internal sliding element and an adjustable immobilization means of the sliding element interior with respect to the exterior slide element,
  • sleeves, intended to represent radiator connection sleeves, which are respectively fixed to the free ends of each of the two horizontal sliding assemblies, and
  • plates, intended to represent radiator fixing plates, which are connected to each of the two elements of each said horizontal sliding assembly.

Avantageusement le tube vertical intérieur et les éléments intérieurs des ensembles coulissants horizontaux sont gradués de façon, par réglage de la sortie de ces éléments intérieurs hors des éléments extérieurs qui les recoivent, à pouvoir réaliser de façon précise la figuration de l'encombrement d'un radiateur plat de toutes dimensions, avec figuration de l'emplacement des manchons de raccordement.Advantageously, the inner vertical tube and the interior elements of the sliding assemblies horizontal are graduated so by adjusting the exit of these interior elements out of the elements who receive them, to be able to carry out precisely the figuration of the size of a flat radiator of all sizes, with figuration of the location of the connection sleeves.

Avantageusement aussi, les plaques figurant les platines de fixation sont réglables en direction horizontale et/ou en direction verticale par rapport aux éléments qui les portent de façon, pour tout radiateur figuré, de pouvoir figurer de façon précise l'emplacement des platines de fixation.Advantageously also, the plates appearing the fixing plates are adjustable in direction horizontal and / or vertical to the elements that carry them so, for any radiator figured, to be able to figure precisely the location of the mounting plates.

Pour bien faire comprendre l'invention on en décrira ci-après, à titre d'exemple sans caractère limitatif, une forme d'exécution préférée en référence au dessin schématique annexé dans lequel :

  • la figure 1 est une vue de face de la partie de base d'un gabarit selon la présente invention ;

  • la figure 5 est une vue de face d'un élément amovible pouvant prolonger l'une ou l'autre des parties coulissantes horizontales du gabarit, pour reproduire un radiateur de grande largeur.
    • To clearly understand the invention, a preferred embodiment will be described below, by way of example, with reference to the appended diagrammatic drawing in which:
  • Figure 1 is a front view of the base portion of a template according to the present invention;
  • Figure 2 is a front view of the sliding part cooperating with the upper end of the base part of the template of Figure 1;
  • Figure 3 is a front view of the sliding part cooperating with the lower end of the base part of the template of Figure 1;
  • Figure 4 is, on a reduced scale, a front view of the template in the use position showing a radiator of determined dimensions; and
  • Figure 5 is a front view of a removable element which can extend one or the other of the horizontal sliding parts of the template, to reproduce a very wide radiator.

    • En référence à la figure 1, le gabarit selon l'invention comprend un tube vertical extérieur 1 à section carrée, à l'intérieur duquel peut coulisser vers le haut un tube intérieur 2 à section carrée. A sa partie supérieure, le tube extérieur 1 est percé sur un côté d'un trou taraudé à l'intérieur duquel est vissée une vis d'arrêt 3 présentant une tête d'actionnement 4, la vis 3 permettant de bloquer le tube intérieur 2 en toute position voulue par rapport au tube extérieur 1.Referring to Figure 1, the template according to the invention comprises an outer vertical tube 1 to square section, inside which can slide towards the top an inner tube 2 with square section. At his upper part, the outer tube 1 is drilled on a side of a threaded hole inside which is screwed a stop screw 3 having an actuating head 4, the screw 3 for blocking the inner tube 2 in any desired position relative to the outer tube 1.

    A son extrémité supérieure disposée hors du tube extérieur 1, le tube intérieur 2 est solidaire d'une coulisse extérieure horizontale supérieure 5 pourvue, à son extrémité de droite en regardant la figure 1, d'une vis de serrage 6 avec tête d'actionnement 7.At its upper end disposed outside the outer tube 1, the inner tube 2 is integral an upper horizontal outer slide 5 provided, at its right end looking at the Figure 1, a clamping screw 6 with head actuation 7.

    A son extrémité de gauche, opposée à celle comportant la vis 6, la coulisse extérieure horizontale 5 présente, à sa partie inférieure, un manchon de raccordement 8 qui figure exactement le manchon de raccordement d'un radiateur plat.At its left end, opposite to that with screw 6, the horizontal outer slide 5 has, at its lower part, a sleeve connection 8 which is exactly the sleeve of connection of a flat radiator.

    En un emplacement déterminé de sa partie médiane la coulisse 5 présente, solidaires de sa face inférieure, deux tiges verticales de support parallèles 9,9' le long desquelles peut coulisser verticalement une plaque horizontale 10 figurant une platine arrière de fixation d'un radiateur. La plaque 10 est aussi réglable horizontalement par rapport aux supports 9,9' de façon à pouvoir lui donner toute position déterminée voulue par rapport à la coulisse extérieure 5.In a determined location of its part middle slide 5 present, integral with its face lower, two parallel vertical support rods 9.9 'along which can slide vertically horizontal plate 10 representing a rear plate of fixing a radiator. Plate 10 is also adjustable horizontally with respect to the 9.9 'supports so that be able to give him any determined position desired by compared to the outer runner 5.

    A son extrémité inférieure le tube extérieur 1 est solidaire d'une coulisse extérieure horizontale inférieure 11, laquelle est équipée à son extrémité de droite en regardant la figure 1, d'une vis de serrage 12 à tête de commande 13 disposée dans le prolongement vertical de la vis supérieure 6.At its lower end the outer tube 1 is attached to a horizontal outer slide lower 11, which is equipped at its end with right looking at Figure 1, a clamping screw 12 with control head 13 arranged in the extension vertical of the upper screw 6.

    La coulisse extérieure inférieure 11 est de même longueur que la coulisse extérieure supérieure 5 et elle comporte à la partie inférieure de son extrémité de gauche, en regardant la figure 1, un manchon de raccordement 8' disposé dans le prolongement vertical du manchon de raccordement 8 de la coulisse extérieure 5.The lower outer slide 11 is same length as the upper outer runner 5 and it has at the bottom of its end of left, looking at figure 1, a sleeve of 8 'connection arranged in the vertical extension of the connection sleeve 8 of the outer slide 5.

    A sa partie supérieure la coulisse extérieure 11 comporte, sensiblement dans le prolongement vertical des tiges de support 9,9', des tiges de support verticales 14,14' orientées vers le haut et portant une plaque horizontale 15 figurant une platine de fixation inférieure de radiateur, la plaque 15 étant réglable verticalement et horizontalement par rapport aux supports 14,14'.At its upper part the external slide 11 comprises, substantially in the vertical extension 9.9 'support rods, support rods vertical 14,14 'oriented upwards and carrying a horizontal plate 15 showing a mounting plate lower radiator, plate 15 being adjustable vertically and horizontally with respect to supports 14.14 '.

    La coulisse extérieure inférieure 11 est solidaire d'un fourreau vertical 16 à l'intérieur duquel peut coulisser vers le bas une tige graduée 17 qui peut être solidarisée au fourreau 16 par une vis d'appui 18 à tête de serrage 19. La tige graduée 17 sert à régler la hauteur de la coulisse extérieure inférieure 11 du gabarit par rapport au sol ou à une autre surface de référence.The lower outer slide 11 is secured to a vertical sheath 16 inside which can slide down a graduated rod 17 which can be secured to the sheath 16 by a support screw 18 to clamping head 19. The graduated rod 17 is used to adjust the height of the lower outer slide 11 of the gauge relative to the ground or other surface of reference.

    Le tube intérieur 2 est gradué de telle façon que la lecture de sa graduation venant en regard de l'extrémité supérieure du tube extérieur 1 donne la valeur de la hauteur totale du gabarit, et donc de celle du radiateur qu'il figure.The inner tube 2 is graduated in such a way that reading his graduation coming next to the upper end of the outer tube 1 gives the value of the total height of the template, and therefore of that of the radiator it features.

    A sa partie supérieure, dans le prolongement du tube intérieur 2, la coulisse extérieure supérieure 5 porte un niveau à bulle 20.At its upper part, in the extension of the inner tube 2, the upper outer slide 5 carries a spirit level 20.

    A la figure 2 on a représenté une coulisse intérieure graduée 21 destinée à être engagée, par son extrémité 22, dans l'extrémité de droite de la coulisse extérieure horizontale 5 en regardant la figure 1. La coulisse intérieure 21 présente, à son extrémité opposée à l'extrémité 22, un manchon 23 figurant un manchon de raccordement de radiateur et, à proximité de ce manchon, la partie inférieure de la coulisse intérieure 21 est solidaire de deux barres de support verticales parallèles 24,24' portant une plaque 25, réglable horizontalement et verticalement, qui figure une platine de fixation de radiateur.In Figure 2 there is shown a slide graduated inner 21 intended to be engaged, by its end 22, in the right end of the slide horizontal exterior 5 looking at Figure 1. The inner slide 21 has, at its opposite end at the end 22, a sleeve 23 representing a sleeve radiator connection and, near this sleeve, the lower part of the inner slide 21 is integral with two vertical support bars 24,24 'parallel carrying a plate 25, adjustable horizontally and vertically, which represents a plate radiator mounting.

    De même, à la figure 3, on a représenté une coulisse intérieure graduée 26 destinée à être engagée, par son extrémité 27, dans l'extrémité de droite de la coulisse extérieure inférieure 11 en regardant la figure 1. La coulisse intérieure 26 présente, à son extrémité opposée à l'extrémité 27, un manchon 28 figurant un manchon de raccordement de radiateur. A proximité de ce manchon, une tige de support verticale 29 solidaire de la face supérieure de la coulisse intérieure 26, porte une plaque 30 (réglable horizontalement et verticalement) qui figure une platine de fixation de radiateur. De plus, la coulisse intérieure 26 est solidaire, également à proximité du manchon 28, d'un fourreau vertical 31 de l'extrémité inférieure duquel fait saillie, de façon coulissante, une tige graduée verticale 32, analogue à la tige graduée 17 associée à la coulisse inférieure 11. Sur le fourreau 31, une vis 33 à tête d'actionnement 34 permet de régler la longueur de la partie saillante de la tige 32.Similarly, in Figure 3, there is shown a graduated inner slide 26 intended to be engaged, by its end 27, in the right end of the lower outer slide 11 looking at the figure 1. The inner slide 26 has, at its end opposite the end 27, a sleeve 28 representing a radiator connection sleeve. Close to this sleeve, a vertical support rod 29 integral with the upper face of the inner slide 26, door a plate 30 (horizontally adjustable and vertically) which shows a mounting plate of radiator. In addition, the inner slide 26 is integral, also near the sleeve 28, with a vertical sleeve 31 from the lower end of which slidingly protrudes a graduated rod vertical 32, analogous to the graduated rod 17 associated with the lower slide 11. On the sleeve 31, a screw 33 with actuating head 34 adjusts the length of the projecting part of the rod 32.

    A la figure 4 on a représenté le gabarit en condition assemblée d'utilisation, pour permettre de figurer un radiateur de toute dimension voulue. A cet effet, la coulisse intérieure 21 a été introduite dans la coulisse extérieure supérieure 5, et la coulisse intérieure 26 a été introduite dans la coulisse extérieure inférieure 11.In Figure 4 there is shown the template in assembly condition of use, to allow include a radiator of any desired size. In this indeed, the inner slide 21 was introduced in the upper outer slide 5, and the slide interior 26 was introduced behind the scenes lower exterior 11.

    Sur le chantier, à l'aide de ce gabarit, l'opérateur qui désire pouvoir repérer sur un mur, par exemple, les emplacements des manchons de raccordement et des platines de fixation d'un radiateur de dimensions déterminées, pourra figurer l'encombrement de ce radiateur. Par coulissement du tube intérieur 2 hors du tube extérieur 1, il fixe d'abord la hauteur voulue du radiateur, celle-ci étant donnée par la graduation du tube intérieur 2 lue en regard de l'extrémité supérieure du tube extérieur 1, le dispositif étant verrouillé dans cette position par serrage de la vis 3.On site, using this template, the operator who wishes to be able to locate on a wall, by example, the locations of the connection sleeves and fixing plates of a radiator of dimensions determined, may appear the size of this radiator. By sliding the inner tube 2 out of the outer tube 1, it first fixes the desired height of the radiator, this being given by the graduation of the inner tube 2 read opposite the upper end of the outer tube 1, the device being locked in this position by tightening the screw 3.

    On reproduit ensuite la longueur de radiateur voulue en réglant la position des coulisses intérieures graduées 21 et 26 par rapport à leurs coulisses extérieures respectives 5 et 11, la longueur du radiateur étant alors donnée par la lecture de la graduation portée par la coulisse 21 ou par la coulisse 26 qui vient en regard de l'extrémité de la coulisse extérieure 5 ou de la coulisse extérieure 11 respectivement. La longueur voulue une fois reproduite, les coulisses 21 et 26 sont fixées en position par serrage respectivement des vis 6 et 12.Then reproduce the length of the radiator desired by adjusting the position of the interior runners graduated 21 and 26 from their backstage respective exterior 5 and 11, the length of the radiator then being given by reading the graduation carried by the slide 21 or by the slide 26 which comes opposite the end of the slide exterior 5 or exterior slide 11 respectively. The desired length once reproduced, the slides 21 and 26 are fixed in position by tightening screws 6 and 12 respectively.

    La hauteur et la longueur du radiateur étant ainsi reproduites, le positionnement exact des manchons de raccordement supérieurs 8,23 et inférieurs 8',28 se trouve alors déterminé.The height and length of the radiator being thus reproduced, the exact positioning of the sleeves connection upper 8.23 and lower 8 ', 28 then finds determined.

    Par coulissement horizontal et vertical des plaques 10,15,25 et 30 par rapport à leurs supports respectifs, on détermine également le positionnement exact des platines de fixation du radiateur.By horizontal and vertical sliding of plates 10, 15, 25 and 30 relative to their supports respective, we also determine the positioning exact radiator mounting plates.

    La reproduction par le gabarit des dimensions du radiateur voulu étant ainsi effectuée, on peut alors placer le gabarit à l'endroit désiré en réglant de façon précise, grâce aux tiges filetées 17 et 32, sa hauteur par rapport au sol (ou à une autre surface de référence). Le niveau à bulle 20 porté par la coulisse extérieure supérieure 5 permet de vérifier que le radiateur ainsi figuré est parfaitement de niveau.Reproduction by the size gauge of the desired radiator being thus carried out, one can then place the template at the desired location by adjusting so specifies, thanks to threaded rods 17 and 32, its height relative to the ground (or to another surface of reference). The spirit level 20 carried by the slide upper exterior 5 verifies that the radiator thus figured is perfectly level.

    Le gabarit étant placé à l'endroit désiré, l'opérateur peut alors repérer de façon précise sur le mur d'une part les emplacements où devront se trouver les tuyauteries pour se raccorder à deux des manchons 8,8',23,28, et d'autre part les emplacements des supports pour les platines 10,15,25,30. Une fois le gabarit enlevé, l'opérateur pourra alors préparer en conséquence les arrivées de tuyauteries et fixer les supports muraux, de façon que le radiateur puisse sans inconvénient n'arriver sur le chantier et n'être posé qu'au tout dernier moment.The template being placed in the desired location, the operator can then locate precisely on the wall on the one hand the places where will have to be the pipes to connect to two of the sleeves 8.8 ', 23.28, and on the other hand the locations of supports for the plates 10,15,25,30. Once the template removed, the operator can then prepare consequently the piping arrivals and fix the wall supports, so that the radiator can without inconvenience do not arrive on site and be posed at the very last moment.

    Le gabarit est ensuite réutilisé sur le chantier, soit sans modification s'il y a lieu de figurer à nouveau un radiateur de mêmes dimensions que précédemment, soit en modifiant le positionnement relatif des tubes 1,2 d'une part, et des coulisses extérieure 5,11 et des coulisses intérieures respectives 21,26 d'autre part, s'il y a lieu de figurer un radiateur de dimensions différentes.The template is then reused on the site, or without modification if necessary again include a radiator of the same dimensions as previously, either by changing the positioning relative tubes 1,2 on the one hand, and slides 5.11 exterior and respective interior slides 21,26 on the other hand, if there is reason to appear a radiator of different dimensions.

    Dans le cas de radiateurs de grande longueur, on peut associer à chacune des coulisses intérieures graduées 21,26 une rallonge graduée, qui se fixe à l'extrémité respectivement 22,27 des coulisses 21,26. On a représenté en 35, à la figure 5, une telle rallonge dont l'extrémité 36 est destinée à se solidariser, par exemple par un système de verrouillage à bille ou à vis (non représenté), à l'extrémité 22 de la coulisse intérieure 21, alors que son autre extrémité 37 est destinée à être introduite à l'intérieure de la coulisse extérieure 5.In the case of very long radiators, we can associate with each of the interior slides graduated 21,26 a graduated extension, which attaches to the end respectively 22,27 of the slides 21,26. We has shown at 35, in Figure 5, such an extension whose end 36 is intended to be joined, by example by a ball or screw locking system (not shown), at the end 22 of the slide interior 21, while its other end 37 is intended to be inserted inside the slide exterior 5.

    On comprendra que la description ci-dessus a été donnée à simple titre d'exemple, sans caractère limitatif, et que des adjonctions ou des modifications constructives pourraient y être apportées sans sortir du cadre de l'invention.It will be understood that the above description has was given as an example, without character limiting, and that additions or modifications could be made without leaving the part of the invention.
