Le poteau 1 est constitué par un profilé creux, par exemple en aluminium, obtenu par extrudage ou moulage, et est destiné à être positionné entre le sol 100 et le plafond 110 d'une pièce. Ce profil 1 comporte usuellement une face ouverte permettant l'accès à l'intérieur du profil, et susceptible d'être fermée par une face avant, par exemple constituée d'éléments unitaires portant des socles pour la mise en place de prises permettant l'alimentation des appareils du poste de travail ou par une face avant pleine traversée par une ou plusieurs ouvertures 17 (figure 9) par lesquelles sortent des câbles S.The post 1 is constituted by a hollow profile, for example made of aluminum, obtained by extrusion or molding, and is intended to be positioned between the ground 100 and the ceiling 110 in one piece. This profile 1 usually comprises an open face allowing access to the interior of the profile, and capable of being closed by a front face, for example made up of unitary elements carrying bases for the installation of sockets allowing the supply of workstation devices or through a solid front face crossed by one or more openings 17 (FIG. 9) through which cables S exit.
Suivant l'invention, un second profilé 2 est monté coulissant dans le profilé creux 1 formant l'extérieur du poteau. Ce second profilé 2 est destiné à dépasser à l'extérieur de l'extrémité supérieure du profilé creux 1 pour que l'ensemble constitué du profilé creux 1 et de la partie dépassante du profilé 2 soit de longueur égale à la distance séparant le sol 100 du plafond 110.According to the invention, a second section 2 is slidably mounted in the hollow section 1 forming the outside of the post. This second profile 2 is intended to protrude outside the upper end of the hollow profile 1 so that the assembly consisting of the hollow profile 1 and the projecting part of the profile 2 is of length equal to the distance separating the ground 100 from the ceiling 110.
Ledit profilé 2 a une section semblable à celle du profilé creux 1 mais est d'encombrement plus faible que ledit profilé creux 1.Said profile 2 has a section similar to that of the hollow profile 1 but is smaller in size than said hollow profile 1.
Comme visible sur la figure 8, le profilé creux 1 comporte des nervures 12 formant avec la paroi 10 dudit profilé creux, disposée en face de la face ouverte de ce profilé, des rainures dans lesquelles sont disposées des nervures 21 du profilé 2. Lesdites nervures 21 du profilé 2 peuvent coulisser librement dans lesdites rainures. Ces nervures 21 sont constituées par les bords longitudinaux d'une paroi 20 disposée parallèlement à la paroi 10 du poteau 1. Dans l'exemple représenté au dessin, le poteau 1 comporte deux parois planes raccordées par des arcs de cercle, l'une des parois planes formant la face ouverte du profilé. Les nervures 12 sont alors formées de part et d'autre de la paroi plane 10 disposée en face de la face ouverte. En variante, la section du poteau peut ne pas comporter de paroi plane. Un troisième profilé, dit profilé de positionnement 3 est disposé dans le poteau 1, ce profilé 3 porte des nervures 31 adaptées à coulisser dans les rainures constituées entre les nervures 12 et la paroi 10 du profilé creux 1.As can be seen in FIG. 8, the hollow profile 1 has ribs 12 forming with the wall 10 of said hollow profile, disposed opposite the open face of this profile, grooves in which are arranged ribs 21 of the profile 2. Said ribs 21 of the profile 2 can slide freely in said grooves. These ribs 21 are formed by the longitudinal edges of a wall 20 disposed parallel to the wall 10 of the post 1. In the example shown in the drawing, the post 1 has two flat walls connected by arcs of a circle, one of the flat walls forming the open face of the profile. The ribs 12 are then formed on either side of the planar wall 10 disposed opposite the open face. Alternatively, the section of the post may not have a flat wall. A third profile, called positioning profile 3, is arranged in the post 1, this profile 3 carries ribs 31 adapted to slide in the grooves formed between the ribs 12 and the wall 10 of the hollow profile 1.
Le profilé de positionnement 3 est globalement constitué par une plaque 30, plane dans l'exemple représenté au dessin, disposée parallèlement à la paroi 10 du profilé creux 1 et susceptible d'être fixée à ladite paroi du profilé creux 1 par des vis 32.The positioning profile 3 is generally constituted by a plate 30, flat in the example shown in the drawing, arranged parallel to the wall 10 of the hollow profile 1 and capable of being fixed to said wall of the hollow profile 1 by screws 32.
Les profilés 2 et 3 comportent chacun une paroi 23, 33 disposée perpendiculairement à leur paroi plane 20, 30. Un logement cylindrique ouvert 24, 34 est formé dans chacune des parois 23 et 33. Ces logements cylindriques 24, 34 sont disposés dans le prolongement l'un de l'autre lorsque les deux profilés 2 et 3 sont montés coulissants dans le profilé creux 1. Un moyen de liaison non représenté au dessin peut être inséré dans lesdits logements 24 et 34 de manière à solidariser les profilés 2 et 3 tout en leur laissant une possibilité d'écartement et de rapprochement relatif, un tel moyen de liaison peut, par exemple, être constitué par une tige insérée dans les logements 24 et 34 et portant à ses extrémités des ergots déplaçables dans des logements. Un ressort 4 est disposé entre les profilés 2 et 3, en étant par exemple positionné autour du moyen de liaison, ce ressort 4 tend à écarter les profilés 2 et 3 l'un de l'autre en prenant appui sur les extrémités des logements 24 et 34. A titre d'exemple, le ressort 4 peut avoir une poussée de l'ordre de 60 Kg. Une poussée de valeur différente, plus faible ou plus forte, peut bien entendu être choisie suivant les caractéristiques de chaque installation (nature des matériaux constituant le plafond et le sol, position du poteau dans une zone où il risque de subir des chocs,...). oThe sections 2 and 3 each have a wall 23, 33 arranged perpendicular to their flat wall 20, 30. An open cylindrical housing 24, 34 is formed in each of the walls 23 and 33. These cylindrical housings 24, 34 are arranged in the extension one from the other when the two profiles 2 and 3 are slidably mounted in the hollow profile 1. A connecting means not shown in the drawing can be inserted into said housings 24 and 34 so as to secure the profiles 2 and 3 while by leaving them a possibility of spacing and relative approximation, such a connecting means can, for example, be constituted by a rod inserted in the housings 24 and 34 and carrying at its ends lugs movable in housings. A spring 4 is disposed between the sections 2 and 3, being for example positioned around the connecting means, this spring 4 tends to separate the sections 2 and 3 from one another by bearing on the ends of the housings 24 and 34. By way of example, the spring 4 can have a thrust on the order of 60 kg. A thrust of different value, weaker or stronger, can of course be chosen according to the characteristics of each installation (nature of the materials constituting the ceiling and the floor, position of the post in an area where it risks being subjected to shocks, ...). o
Le dispositif comporte encore une poignée 36 montée mobile en rotation autour d'un axe disposé perpendiculairement à la paroi 33 du profilé 3 et portant un anneau 3 S susceptible de s'engager dans une encoche 25 de la paroi 24 du profilé 2. La poignée 36, l'anneau 35 et l'encoche 25 constituent un ensemble à genouillère capable de solidariser les profilés 2 et 3 en les amenant, à encontre de l'action du ressort 4, dans une position pour laquelle ils sont rapprochés l'un de l'autre.The device also comprises a handle 36 mounted movable in rotation about an axis disposed perpendicular to the wall 33 of the profile 3 and carrying a ring 3 S capable of engaging in a notch 25 in the wall 24 of the profile 2. The handle 36, the ring 35 and the notch 25 constitute a toggle joint capable of securing the sections 2 and 3 by bringing them, against the action of the spring 4, in a position for which they are brought together. the other.
Tout autre dispositif permettant de solidariser les deuxième et troisième profilés 2 et 3 peut bien entendu être mis en œuvre.Any other device for securing the second and third sections 2 and 3 can of course be implemented.
L'extrémité supérieure du profilé 2 porte une pointe 26 destinée à pénétrer dans le plafond.The upper end of the profile 2 carries a point 26 intended to penetrate the ceiling.
Pour la mise en place d'un poteau, il faut tout d'abord choisir un profilé creux 1 de longueur inférieure à la distance séparant le sol 100 du plafond 110.For the installation of a post, it is first necessary to choose a hollow profile 1 of length less than the distance separating the ground 100 from the ceiling 110.
Ce profilé creux 1, à l'intérieur duquel est disposé coulissant l'ensemble formé par les deuxième et troisième profilés 2 et 3, est positionné verticalement avec son extrémité inférieure en appui sur le sol 100. De manière connue en soi, il est possible de fixer au sol un élément de positionnement assurant le maintien de l'extrémité inférieure du poteau afin d'éviter tout risque de glissement de celle-ci.This hollow section 1, inside which the assembly formed by the second and third sections 2 and 3 is slidably disposed, is positioned vertically with its lower end resting on the ground 100. In a manner known per se, it is possible to fix a positioning element on the ground ensuring the maintenance of the lower end of the post in order to avoid any risk of it sliding.
Les profilés 2 et 3 sont solidarisés l'un à l'autre par l'insertion de l'anneau 35 dans l'encoche 25 et l'abaissement de la poignée 36 tandis que le ressort 4 est bandé (figure 3).The sections 2 and 3 are secured to each other by the insertion of the ring 35 in the notch 25 and the lowering of the handle 36 while the spring 4 is banded (Figure 3).
L'installateur fait coulisser l'ensemble formé par les deux profilés 2 et 3 vers le haut jusqu'à ce que la pointe 26 soit en appui contre le plafond 110 (figure 4) tout en vérifiant la verticalité du poteau, puis fixe le profilé 3 sur le profilé creux 1 par la mise en place des vis 32 (figure 5). Le profilé 3 étant ainsi fixé au profilé externe 1, l'installateur relève la poignée 36 et dégage l'anneau 35 de l'encoche 25 (figure 6). Ce faisant, le ressort 4 repousse le profilé 2 vers le haut avec un effort tel qu'il plaque ledit profilé 2 contre le plafond 110 pour assurer le maintien du poteau.The installer slides the assembly formed by the two profiles 2 and 3 upwards until the point 26 is in abutment against the ceiling 110 (Figure 4) while checking the verticality of the post, then fixes the profile 3 on the hollow profile 1 by the installation of the screws 32 (Figure 5). The profile 3 is thus fixed to the external profile 1, the installer raises the handle 36 and releases the ring 35 from the notch 25 (Figure 6). In doing so, the spring 4 pushes the profile 2 upwards with a force such that it presses said profile 2 against the ceiling 110 to ensure the maintenance of the post.
Cette installation étant terminée, on laisse retomber la poignée 36 et l'anneau 35 vers le bas. La poignée 36 et l'anneau 35 restent en attente à l'intérieur du profilé creux 1 et peuvent être réutilisés lorsque l'on désire démonter le poteau, par exemple pour le déplacer.This installation being completed, the handle 36 and the ring 35 are dropped downwards. The handle 36 and the ring 35 remain waiting inside the hollow section 1 and can be reused when it is desired to dismantle the post, for example to move it.
En variante, un moyen de liaison limitant l'écartement des deuxième et troisième profilés 2 et 3 peut être utilisé afin de limiter la poussée du ressort 4 à une valeur prédéterminée.Alternatively, a connecting means limiting the spacing of the second and third sections 2 and 3 can be used in order to limit the thrust of the spring 4 to a predetermined value.
Dans la variante de réalisation représentée aux figures 11 à 14, le moyen de liaison est constitué par une tige 40 destinée à être insérée dans les logements 24 et 34 des deuxième et troisième profilés 2 et 3. Ladite tige 40 porte le ressort 4 et une poignée 41 de commande.In the alternative embodiment shown in FIGS. 11 to 14, the connecting means consists of a rod 40 intended to be inserted in the housings 24 and 34 of the second and third sections 2 and 3. Said rod 40 carries the spring 4 and a control handle 41.
Comme visible au dessin, la tige 40 porte de plus deux butées 43 et 44 constituées par des rondelles pouvant se déplacer longitudinalement disposées de part et d'autre de l'axe 45 solidaire de ladite tige sur lequel la poignée 41 est montée mobile en rotation par sa tête 42. La tête 42 de la poignée 41 a une forme globalement en ellipse à extrémités aplaties, elle est ainsi de dimension plus importante dans une direction que dans la direction perpendiculaire. La poignée.41 est tout d'abord positionnée de manière telle que sa tête 42 ait son grand côté à l'horizontal, les butées 43 et 44 sont alors proches l'une de l'autre en étant espacées par le petit côté de la tête 42. Lors du montage, la tige 40 portant le ressort 4 est insérée dans les deuxième et troisième profilés 2 et 3 afin d'obtenir le sous-ensemble représenté à la figure 12 présentant successivement de bas en haut : le troisième profilé 3, la butée 43, la poignée 41 montée sur l'axe 45, la butée 44, le ressort 4 et le deuxième profilé 2.As can be seen in the drawing, the rod 40 also carries two stops 43 and 44 constituted by washers which can move longitudinally arranged on either side of the axis 45 secured to said rod on which the handle 41 is mounted so as to be movable in rotation by its head 42. The head 42 of the handle 41 has a generally elliptical shape with flattened ends, it is thus larger in one direction than in the perpendicular direction. The handle. 41 is first of all positioned so that its head 42 has its long side horizontally, the stops 43 and 44 are then close to each other, being spaced apart by the short side of the head 42. During assembly, the rod 40 carrying the spring 4 is inserted into the second and third sections 2 and 3 in order to obtain the sub-assembly shown in FIG. 12 having successively from bottom to top: the third section 3, the stop 43, the handle 41 mounted on the axis 45, the stop 44, the spring 4 and the second profile 2.
Ce sous-ensemble est disposé contre le plafond (figure 13) et le troisième profilé 3 est fixé par vis au premier profilé 1.This sub-assembly is placed against the ceiling (FIG. 13) and the third profile 3 is fixed by screw to the first profile 1.
Comme visible à la figure 14, la poignée 41 est ensuite abaissée. Par ce mouvement, la tête 42 pivote de 90° autour de l'axe 45, les butées 43 et 44 sont repoussées à mesure qu'elles glissent sur les parois arrondies de la tête 42 jusqu'à ce que le côté de grande dimension de ladite tête 42 soit disposé entre elles. Cette position est rendue stable par les méplats prévus sur la tête 42. Ce faisant, le ressort 4 est bandé pour repousser le deuxième profilé en appui contre le plafond 110.As shown in Figure 14, the handle 41 is then lowered. By this movement, the head 42 pivots 90 ° around the axis 45, the stops 43 and 44 are pushed back as they slide on the rounded walls of the head 42 until the large side of said head 42 is disposed between them. This position is made stable by the flats provided on the head 42. In doing so, the spring 4 is bandaged to push the second profile into abutment against the ceiling 110.
Comme on aura pu le comprendre à la lecture de la description ci-dessus, la mise en place d'un poteau suivant l'invention peut être faite de manière très simple et très rapide et ne nécessite pas d'outils particuliers, seuls un tournevis et un niveau, que tout installateur a toujours à sa disposition, étant nécessaires.As will have been understood on reading the description above, the installation of a post according to the invention can be done very simply and very quickly and does not require any special tools, only a screwdriver and a level, which any installer always has at their disposal, being necessary.
De manière préférée, le deuxième profilé 2 sera dimensionné de façon telle que le profilé 3 et les moyens de solidarisation desdits profilés 2 et 3 soient à hauteur d'homme afin que l'installateur puisse mettre le poteau en place sans devoir monter sur un escabeau.Preferably, the second section 2 will be dimensioned so that the section 3 and the means for securing said sections 2 and 3 are at breast height so that the installer can put the post in place without having to climb onto a stepladder .
Le poteau suivant l'invention comporte de plus une disposition avantageuse au niveau des ouvertures 17 de passage de câbles.The post according to the invention further comprises an advantageous arrangement at the level of the cable passage openings 17.
Lors de la formation d'une ouverture de passage de câbles 17, la face avant 15 destinée à fermer la face ouverte du profilé est découpée de manière à permettre le positionnement de deux plaques de bord 16 disposées de part et d'autre de l'ouverture 17 (figure 9).During the formation of a cable passage opening 17, the front face 15 intended to close the open face of the profile is cut so as to allow the positioning of two edge plates 16 arranged on either side of the opening 17 (figure 9).
Ces plaques de bord 16 portent, le long de leur extrémité destinée à former le bord de l'ouverture 17, un ensemble de poils formant une brosse 18.These edge plates 16 carry, along their end intended to form the edge of the opening 17, a set of bristles forming a brush 18.
Les deux plaques de bord 16 sont disposées de manière telle que les brosses 18 se chevauchent. Par cette disposition, les câbles frottent sur les brosses 18 et non sur le bord des plaques, ce qui permet de ne pas blesser lesdits câbles lorsqu'ils sont tirés hors du poteau.The two edge plates 16 are arranged so that the brushes 18 overlap. By this arrangement, the cables rub on the brushes 18 and not on the edge of the plates, which makes it possible not to injure said cables when they are pulled out of the post.
Cette disposition permet de plus, de fournir à l'utilisateur une ouverture 17 de passage de câbles de section importante dans laquelle il lui est possible d'insérer de nouveaux câbles suivant ses besoins. This arrangement also makes it possible to provide the user with an opening 17 for passage of cables of large cross-section into which it is possible for him to insert new cables as required.
