Preferred Features: In variants of the design, the socket can have a projecting tip in its base or can be replaced by a solid cylindrical projection fitting inside a hollow curtain rod.

Description

La présente invention a pour objet un ensemble de fixations symétriques et indépendantes pour une pose écartée d'une vitre d'une tringle à rideau par appui sur les bords intérieurs d'un support tel qu'un châssis de fenêtre ou de porte ou un tableau de fenêtre, chaque fixation comportant une patte d'écartement permettant un déport latéral de l'accrochage sur le support par pression d'un ressort qui peut être intérieur à la tringle. Une telle tringle reste maintenue en place grâce à la force élastique du ressort de compression qui bloque les fixations d'extrémité contre les montants intérieurs de la fenêtre ou de la porte.The present invention relates to a set of fasteners symmetrical and independent for an installation apart from a window of a rod curtain by pressing on the inner edges of a support such as a chassis window or door or window panel, each fixing having a spacer for lateral offset of the hooking on the support by pressure of a spring which can be inside the rod. Such a rod stays in place thanks to the elastic force of the spring compression that locks end fittings against interior posts window or door.

Le brevet français 9000353 (2653838) décrit une fixation et une tringle de ce type, la fixation comprenant une patte d'accrochage sur le châssis et d'écartement de la vitre, ainsi que des moyens de liaison avec l'extrémité de la tringle. La patte de chaque fixation terminale est convenablement conçue afin de présenter un point d'accrochage et un point d'appui sur le châssis. Une telle fixation présente divers inconvénients, en particulier le fait qu'elle est constituée de plusieurs pièces: bouchon en laiton collé dans l'extrémité du tube, une tige filetée ancrée dans le bouchon, une patte d'accrochage et un cabochon vissés sur la tige filetée.French patent 9000353 (2653838) describes a fixing and a rod of this type, the fixing comprising a hooking lug on the frame and spacing of the glass, as well as means of connection with the end of the rod. The tab of each end fitting is suitably designed to present a point of attachment and a point support on the chassis. Such fixing has various drawbacks, in particular the fact that it is made up of several parts: brass plug glued into the end of the tube, a threaded rod anchored in the cap, a hooking lug and a cabochon screwed on the threaded rod.

Une multiplicité d'opérations est nécessaire pour fabriquer et assembler ces pièces: il faut fabriquer un bouchon percé et fileté, découper, emboutir la patte en tôle, produire une vis, ainsi qu'un cabochon avec un trou taraudé pour cette vis; chaque pièce doit être traitée en surface séparément pour être ensuite montée et assemblée par collage ou vissage. Cette fixation étant solidaire de la tringle nécessite un dévissage et remontage lors de la pose d'un rideau.A multiplicity of operations is necessary to manufacture and assemble these parts: you must make a pierced and threaded plug, cut out, stamp the sheet metal tab, produce a screw, as well as a cabochon with a hole tapped for this screw; each part must be treated on the surface separately to then be assembled and assembled by gluing or screwing. This fixation being integral with the rod requires unscrewing and reassembly during the installation of a curtain.

L'invention a donc pour but de réaliser un ensemble de fixations du type défini ci-dessus, mais dont la fabrication et l'assemblage sont considérablement simplifiés avec, corrélativement, une diminution très sensible de son prix de revient.The invention therefore aims to achieve a set of fasteners of the type defined above, but the manufacture and assembly of which are considerably simplified with, correspondingly, a very sensitive to its cost price.

Conformément à l'invention, chaque fixation est simplement emboítée librement sur la tringle lors de la pose, et seule la pression du ressort comprimé assure la solidarité de l'ensemble lorsque la tringle est en place sur son support.According to the invention, each attachment is simply freely fitted on the rod during installation, and only the pressure of the compressed spring ensures the solidarity of the assembly when the rod is in place on its support.

Ainsi l'assemblage de la fixation sur la tringle peut se faire aisément, en une seule manoeuvre d'emboítement, au moment de la pose de la tringle équipée de son rideau, sans collage, ni vissage, la fixation restant totalement amovible sur l'extrémité de la tringle.Thus the assembly of the fixing on the rod can be done easily, in a single nesting maneuver, when installing the rod fitted with its curtain, without gluing or screwing, the remaining fixing completely removable on the end of the rod.

Cette amovibilité permet de fabriquer avantageusement la patte et son embout en monobloc, par moulage en fonderie de métal ou de matière plastique, ou par injection de métal ou de matière plastique.This removability makes it possible to advantageously manufacture the tab and its tip in one piece, by molding in metal or material foundry plastic, or by injection of metal or plastic.

Suivant d'autres caractéristiques de l'invention :

  • l'emboítement des fixations sur les extrémités de la tringle est une partie femelle coiffant l'extrémité de la tringle,
  • la partie femelle comporte un renfort formé d'un bossage intérieur adapté pour maintenir l'extrémité de la tringle et éviter sa déformation sous l'effort exercé par le ressort comprimé,
  • l'emboítement sur les extrémités de la tringle est réalisé par une partie mâle adaptée pour s'insérer librement dans l'extrémité de la tringle,
  • la partie mâle est entourée par une collerette adaptée pour maintenir l'extrémité de la tringle et éviter sa déformation sous l'effort exercé par le ressort comprimé,
  • la partie femelle ou mâle est dimensionnée en longueur et en section pour s'adapter de manière amovible sur les extrémités de la tringle et pour accepter l'insertion libre d'un ressort qui se trouve comprimé entre la fixation et l'extrémité de la tringle; celle-ci peut être constituée soit par une tige ajustée à la longueur d'usage par coupe, soit par une tringle télescopique avec un ressort comportant un système de blocage à la longueur d'usage.
According to other characteristics of the invention:
  • the fitting of the fasteners on the ends of the rod is a female part covering the end of the rod,
  • the female part comprises a reinforcement formed by an internal boss adapted to maintain the end of the rod and to avoid its deformation under the force exerted by the compressed spring,
  • the fitting on the ends of the rod is made by a male part adapted to be inserted freely in the end of the rod,
  • the male part is surrounded by a collar adapted to hold the end of the rod and avoid its deformation under the force exerted by the compressed spring,
  • the female or male part is dimensioned in length and section to detachably adapt to the ends of the rod and to accept the free insertion of a spring which is compressed between the fixing and the end of the rod ; this can be constituted either by a rod adjusted to the length of use by cutting, or by a telescopic rod with a spring comprising a locking system at the length of use.

L'invention a aussi pour objet une tringle à rideau destinée à être fixée sur les bords intérieurs d'un support avec un déport latéral par rapport à la vitre, par l'exercice d'une pression, caractérisée par le fait qu'elle est équipée à ses extrémités d'une paire des fixations amovibles précitées. The invention also relates to a curtain rod intended to be fixed on the inner edges of a support with a lateral offset relative to the pane, by the exertion of a pressure, characterized in that it is fitted at its ends with a pair of the above-mentioned removable fasteners.

L'amovibilité de la fixation génère un jeu de libre emboítement; c'est pourquoi il est nécessaire de donner à l'emboítement une longueur suffisante pour que la pression puisse être transmise au point d'accrochage sur la fenêtre sans déformation appréciable de l'ensemble tringle et fixations.The removability of the attachment generates a free interlocking game; this is why it is necessary to give the socket a length sufficient for pressure to be transmitted to the attachment point on the window without appreciable deformation of the rod and fixture assembly.

D'autres particularités et avantages de l'invention apparaítront au cours de la description qui va suivre, faisant référence aux dessins annexés, qui en illustrent cinq formes de réalisation à titre d'exemples non limitatifs.Other features and advantages of the invention will become apparent during the description which follows, referring to the drawings attached, which illustrate five embodiments by way of non-illustrative examples limiting.

La figure 1 est une vue de dessus avec coupe partielle d'une première forme de réalisation de la fixation et de la tringle selon l'invention, montée sur un encadrement de vitre.Figure 1 is a top view with partial section of a first embodiment of the fixing and of the rod according to the invention, mounted on a window frame.

La figure 2 est une vue en perspective, sensiblement à l'échelle, de la fixation amovible de la tringle de la figure 1.FIG. 2 is a perspective view, substantially to scale, of the removable fixing of the rod of figure 1.

La figure 3 est une vue analogue à la figure 1 d'une seconde forme de réalisation de la fixation selon l'invention.Figure 3 is a view similar to Figure 1 of a second embodiment of the binding according to the invention.

La figure 4 est une vue analogue à la figure 1 d'une troisième forme de réalisation de la fixation selon l'invention.Figure 4 is a view similar to Figure 1 of a third embodiment of the binding according to the invention.

La figure 5 est une vue en perspective analogue à la figure 2 de la fixation selon la figure 4.Figure 5 is a perspective view similar to Figure 2 of the fixing according to FIG. 4.

La figure 6 est une vue de dessus analogue à la figure 3 d'une quatrième forme de réalisation de la fixation conforme à l'invention.Figure 6 is a top view similar to Figure 3 of a fourth embodiment of the binding according to the invention.

La figure 7 est une vue en élévation et coupe partielle d'une cinquième forme de réalisation de la fixation selon l'invention.Figure 7 is an elevational view in partial section of a fifth embodiment of the binding according to the invention.

La fixation amovible 1 illustrée aux figures 1 et 2 est destinée à équiper les extrémités d'une tringle tubulaire télescopique 2 comportant un ressort intérieur non représenté et destiné à supporter un rideau (non représenté) sur un châssis 3 d'une vitre 4 ou sur une porte.The removable fastener 1 illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2 is intended for equip the ends of a telescopic tubular rod 2 comprising a inner spring not shown and intended to support a curtain (not shown) on a frame 3 of a window 4 or on a door.

La tringle 2 est du type décrit dans le brevet français précité 2653838 de même que la patte 5 faisant partie de la fixation 1. Une description détaillée de ces pièces n'est donc pas nécessaire. Rod 2 is of the type described in the aforementioned French patent 2653838 as well as lug 5 forming part of fixing 1. A detailed description of these parts is therefore not necessary.

Les moyens de liaison de la patte 5 avec l'extrémité de la tringle 2 comportent un embout 13 solidaire d'une partie 8 de la patte 5, et adapté pour pouvoir s'emboíter librement sur l'extrémité de la tringle 2.The means of connection of the tab 5 with the end of the rod 2 include an end piece 13 secured to a part 8 of the tab 5, and adapted to be able to fit freely on the end of the rod 2.

Dans la réalisation illustrée aux figures 1 et 2, l'embout 13 est creux, donc tubulaire, et constitue une partie femelle dimensionnée pour coiffer l'extrémité de la tringle 2. Le fait que la fixation est amovible, permet de fabriquer l'embout 13 et la patte 5 en monobloc, par exemple par moulage en fonderie de métal ou de matière plastique.In the embodiment illustrated in Figures 1 and 2, the tip 13 is hollow, therefore tubular, and constitutes a female part dimensioned for cover the end of the rod 2. The fact that the attachment is removable allows to manufacture the end piece 13 and the tab 5 in one piece, for example by molding in metal or plastic foundries.

L'embout 13 doit avoir une longueur d'emboítement (L) suffisante pour éviter tout risque de déformation de l'extrémité de la tringle 2 et assurer ainsi, compte tenu du jeu de l'amovibilité, une tenue correcte de l'emboítement obtenue par réaction du contact entre les parois du tube 2 et de l'embout 13.The end piece 13 must have a sufficient length of fitting (L) to avoid any risk of deformation of the end of the rod 2 and ensure thus, taking into account the game of removability, a correct the interlocking obtained by reaction of the contact between the walls of the tube 2 and end piece 13.

La fixation 1 constituée de la patte 5 et de l'embout tubulaire 13, forme une pièce monobloc qui sera emboítée sur la tringle 2 par simple coulissement de l'embout 13 sur l'extrémité de la tringle. Cette manoeuvre est extrêmement simple par rapport à celles qui étaient nécessaires avec le montage du brevet antérieur précité. En outre, du fait de la fabrication de cette fixation en une seule pièce au lieu d'une multiplicité d'éléments comme précédemment, un seul traitement de surface est nécessaire pour l'ensemble.The binding 1 consisting of the tab 5 and the tubular end piece 13, forms a single piece which will be fitted on the rod 2 by simple sliding end piece 13 on the end of the rod. This maneuver is extremely simple compared to those needed with the assembly of the aforementioned prior patent. In addition, due to the manufacture of this fixing in one piece instead of a multiplicity of elements like previously, only one surface treatment is necessary for the whole.

Les fixations 1 peuvent être avantageusement complétées par un élément décoratif venant de fonderie avec la patte, ou rapporté par tout moyen convenable.Fixings 1 can advantageously be supplemented by a decorative element from foundry with the tab, or brought back by any suitable means.

Dans la seconde réalisation illustrée à la figure 3 la fixation 15 est complétée par un renfort 16 adapté pour maintenir l'extrémité de la tringle 2 et éviter sa déformation. En effet, il importe d'améliorer la tenue des extrémités de la tringle 2, surtout lorsque celle-ci est du type profilé rejoint non soudé, fabriqué à partir d'une tôle, afin d'éliminer tout risque d'écartement des bords jointifs de la tôle. Pour ce faire, dans le mode de réalisation de la figure 3, le renfort 16 est constitué d'un bossage intérieur à la base de l'embout 13 venu de matière avec la patte 5, et ayant une section pratiquement égale à la section intérieure du tube. De ce fait , l'extrémité de la tringle 2 vient s'insérer entre la base de l'embout 13 et le bossage intérieur 16, de sorte que cette extrémité est fermement maintenue en place et empêchée de se déformer.In the second embodiment illustrated in Figure 3 the fixing 15 is completed by a reinforcement 16 adapted to hold the end of the rod 2 and avoid its deformation. Indeed, it is important to improve the behavior of ends of rod 2, especially when it is of the joined profile type not welded, made from sheet metal, to eliminate any risk of spreading contiguous edges of the sheet. To do this, in the embodiment of the figure 3, the reinforcement 16 consists of an internal boss at the base of the end piece 13 come in one piece with tab 5, and having a section practically equal to the inner section of the tube. Therefore, the end of the rod 2 is inserted between the base of the end piece 13 and the interior boss 16, so that this end is firmly held in place and prevented from deforming.

Dans la troisième forme de réalisation de la fixation 17 (figures 4 et 5) l'emboítement est réalisé par une partie mâle constituée d'un embout 18 ayant un diamètre extérieur très légèrement inférieur au diamètre intérieur de l'extrémité de la tringle 2. L'embout 18 est donc adapté pour pouvoir être introduit à l'intérieur de ladite extrémité. Comme dans la réalisation précédente, l'embout 18 s'étend perpendiculairement à la troisième partie 8 de la patte 5.In the third embodiment of the fastener 17 (Figures 4 and 5) the nesting is achieved by a male part consisting of a tip 18 having an outside diameter very slightly smaller than the inside diameter of the end of the rod 2. The end piece 18 is therefore adapted to be able to be introduced inside said end. As in the realization previous, the nozzle 18 extends perpendicular to the third part 8 paw 5.

Enfin, dans la quatrième réalisation de la fixation 19 (figure 6) le renfort de maintien en place de l'extrémité de la tringle 2 est constitué par une collerette 21, qui entoure la partie mâle 18. La collerette 21 est de préférence venue de matière avec la partie 8 de la fixation 19, saillant de la patte 5 et dimensionnée pour envelopper l'extrémité de la tringle 2, qui vient ainsi s'intercaler, à ajustement serré, entre la collerette 21 et l'embout intérieur 18. La collerette 21 est adaptée pour maintenir l'extrémité de la tringle 2 et éviter sa déformation sous l'effort exercé par le ressort comprimé. Dans les réalisations décrites, les parties femelle et mâle sont dimensionnées en longueur et en section pour s'adapter de manière amovible sur les extrémités de la tringle.Finally, in the fourth embodiment of the fastener 19 (Figure 6) the reinforcement holding in place the end of the rod 2 is constituted by a collar 21, which surrounds the male part 18. The collar 21 is preferably integral with part 8 of the binding 19, projecting from the tab 5 and dimensioned to wrap the end of the rod 2, which thus comes fit between the collar 21 and the inner endpiece 18, with a tight fit. The flange 21 is adapted to hold the end of the rod 2 and avoid its deformation under the force exerted by the compressed spring. In the achievements described, the female and male parts are sized in length and section to detachably fit on the ends of the rod.

La fabrication par moulage permet d'obtenir des fixations de forme particulièrement bien adaptée. Les fixations peuvent différer notablement dans leur géométrie de celles décrites dans le brevet français précité. Elles peuvent ainsi avoir des formes qui permettent le moulage mais aussi de renforcer les épaisseurs en fonction des caractéristiques mécaniques de la matière employée pour la fabrication, et aussi qui améliorent l'esthétique.Manufacturing by molding provides fasteners of particularly well suited shape. Attachments may differ notably in their geometry from those described in the French patent cited above. They can thus have shapes which allow molding but also to reinforce the thicknesses according to the characteristics mechanics of the material used for manufacturing, and also which improve aesthetics.

Dans tous les cas, les fixations avec leurs embouts 13, 18 sont amovibles sur la tringle télescopique 2, sur laquelle elles sont simplement emboítées, sans collage ni vissage. In all cases, the fasteners with their end caps 13, 18 are removable on the telescopic rod 2, on which they are simply nested, without gluing or screwing.

La fixation selon l'invention présente des avantages substantiels par rapport celles connues de ce type:The fixing according to the invention has substantial advantages compared to those known of this type:

La tringle 2 peut être enfilée dans l'ourlet du rideau sans avoir à dévisser l'une de ses extrémités.Rod 2 can be threaded into the hem of the curtain without having to unscrew one of its ends.

La fixation étant monobloc et indépendante de la tringle, elle peut être fabriquée en grande série industrielle et par moulage, ce qui supprime tous les assemblages par collage, vissage des différents éléments et ne nécessite un traitement de surface que pour une seule pièce.The fixing being monobloc and independent of the rod, it can be produced in large industrial series and by molding, which removes all assemblies by gluing, screwing of the different elements and only requires surface treatment for one piece.

Les fixations peuvent rester séparées de la tringle jusqu'à la pose de celle-ci sur la fenêtre, ce qui facilite grandement le stockage, l'emballage et le transport.The fixings can remain separated from the rod until the placing it on the window, which greatly facilitates storage, packaging and transport.

Il résulte de tous ces avantages une économie importante par rapport aux solutions avec les fixations connues à ce jour.All of these advantages result in significant savings by compared to the solutions with the fasteners known to date.

Les fixations selon l'invention, simplement emboítées sur les extrémités de la tringle à ressort, caractérisées par leur amovibilité par rapport à la tringle, peuvent être utilisées pour des tringles de conception différente de celle décrite à titre d'exemple non limitatif dans la présente description.The fasteners according to the invention, simply fitted onto the ends of the spring rod, characterized by their removability with respect to with rod, can be used for rods of different design of that described by way of nonlimiting example in the present description.

La tringle extensible peut par exemple être réalisée selon un système déjà connu et être constituée par un tube coulissant à l'intérieur d'un tube de section supérieure dans lequel un ressort peut se déplacer; un système par vis permet le blocage du ressort et du tube intérieur à volonté pour mettre la tringle à la dimension désirée, les fixations s'emboítant aux extrémités de la tringle comme précédemment.The extendable rod can for example be produced according to a already known system and be constituted by a sliding tube inside a upper section tube in which a spring can move; a screw system allows the locking of the spring and the inner tube at will to bring the rod to the desired dimension, the fittings fitting to the ends of the rod as before.

Comme illustré à la figure 7, selon une autre réalisation possible, la tringle 2a peut également être non extensible et constituée par un tube ou une tige pleine que l'on coupe à la longueur nécessaire. Dans ce cas un ressort indépendant 22 de courte longueur est logé à insertion libre dans l'embout coiffant 23 où il se trouve comprimé entre la base de l'embout 23et l'extrémité de la tringle 2a par l'introduction de cette dernière, préalablement mise à la longueur appropriée, la pose de la tringle avec son rideau restant la même.As illustrated in FIG. 7, according to another possible embodiment, the rod 2a can also be non-extensible and constituted by a tube or a full stem that is cut to the required length. In this case a independent spring 22 of short length is housed with free insertion in the cap 23 where it is compressed between the base of the tip 23 and the end of the rod 2a by the introduction of the latter, beforehand put at the appropriate length, the installation of the rod with its curtain remaining the even.
