Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the building sector, in particularly office premises or any professional premises, and partitioning systems or the like for such offices or premises professionals.
  • partitions are currently most often fitted with partitions say "dry” or "industrialized".
  • partitions On the one hand, partitions not removable generally made of plaster, which must be demolished for a redevelopment of the premises; on the other hand, the demountable partitions or removable.
  • Removability is considered the highest degree of possibilities of redevelopment of the premises, a removable partition that can be reused as is without cutting, drilling, or other operation adaptation.
  • the panels can of course be made of metal (steel, stainless steel, aluminum, etc.), wood, plasterboard, glass of all kinds, etc.
  • the frame partitions are of great importance in the removable partitions due to their great adaptability to all architectural forms and all kinds of technical constraints or regulatory.
  • the panels are fixed on their framework by means of screws, staples, cleats, elastic clips or not, etc.
  • the object of the present invention is to remedy the drawbacks of the devices mentioned above and to propose a partition device removable, economical to manufacture, easy to use, both assembly than disassembly, and comprising a small number of parts.
  • the removable partition device is of the type comprising at least one panel and at least one post for fixing the sign.
  • the post is a hollow profile with rectangular section provided with two pairs of symmetrical ribs arranged at the ends of the large ones sides and extending parallel to the short sides.
  • the fixing means of the panel are formed integrally with the profile.
  • At least one hook is formed in one long side, the hook remaining recessed by compared to the ribs.
  • This recessed position reduces the risk of injury to operators of installation, deterioration of the hooks during handling related to the installation of the partition, and deterioration of other objects that may be in contact with the posts.
  • the hook is formed in the metal sheet on the long side.
  • the hook is formed by cutting and stamping.
  • the hook projects from the big side.
  • the panel can thus be fixed directly to the post.
  • the long side of the post is arranged parallel to the outer surface of the panel. At less insulation element can be placed in contact with the short side of the post.
  • the insulation or firebreak element can be supported by a internal face of a panel.
  • the panel may include a part end coming back parallel to the long side and cooperating with the fixing means.
  • the invention also relates to a removable partition device of the type comprising at least one panel and at least one fixing post of the panel, the post being a hollow profile with rectangular section.
  • the post is provided with two symmetrical ribs each arranged at a end of a long side and extending parallel to a short side, means for fixing the panel being formed integrally with the profile, at least one hook being formed in one long side, the hook remaining in shrinkage from the adjacent rib.
  • a post can be compared to half a post of the type described above.
  • the post is provided on a last side parallel to the short side and partially closed by two ledges, each from one end of a long side.
  • the invention eliminates all intermediate parts between the post and the panel for its hanging. This reduces the number of parts to be assembled, reducing the cost of manufacturing, a very fast, inexpensive and low noise implementation.
  • the possibilities of disassembly and reassembly of such a partition are easy and unlimited.
  • the arrangement of the hooks, projecting from the long sides but set back from the ribs, avoids prominence fixing hooks relative to the periphery of the section of the post, hence an increase in safety for operators and a large facility to store and stack posts in any environment whether it be.
  • the invention overcomes the drawbacks mentioned above by adequately integrating the fixing system of the posts panels as soon as they are made, by punching and stamping in the mass of hooks required.
  • the shape of the post profile has been designed to provide great dimensional stability, static and dynamic during construction. It also avoids prominence hooks for fixing to the bare profile, providing great ease of handling and storage, as well as great security for response personnel.
  • the system also incorporates all the classic possibilities of fixings, without adaptations or additional work.
  • the post 1 is made at from a hollow metal profile, for example made of sheet steel.
  • the pole 1 is of generally rectangular section with large sides 2 and 3 and short sides 4 and 5, parallel two by two.
  • Longitudinal ribs 6 to 9 are arranged at the ends of each large side 2, 3 and are flush the short sides 4 and 5.
  • the post is symmetrical about a plane parallel to the long sides 2 and 3 and arranged equidistant from them, and relative to a plane parallel to the short sides 4 and 5 and arranged at equal distance from them.
  • the large side 2 is thus hollow in relation to ribs 6 and 7 and the long side 3 is also hollowed out by compared to ribs 8 and 9.
  • Hooks 10 are permanently fixed on each of the long sides 2 and 3.
  • the hooks 10 can be fixed, for example by welding, on the post 1.
  • the hooks 10 will be formed from the material forming the long sides 2 and 3, for example by punching, this which will make posts 1 economically.
  • Each hook 10 comprises a portion 10a parallel to a plane transverse to the post 1 and connecting directly to a large side 2, 3.
  • the hook 10 is extended by a portion 10b parallel to the long side 2, 3 from which the hook 10 is derived and directed upwards.
  • Hook 10 ends by one end 10c curved slightly outward.
  • the part 10a allows the hook 10 to be sufficiently offset from the long side 2, 3 from which it comes, to allow the insertion of a portion of panel between the parallel portion 10b and said large side 2, 3.
  • the hooks 10 do not exceed ribs 6 and 7, 8 and 9, in order to protect said hooks 10 against the effects a possible handling error in the factory or during assembly, or successive dismantling / reassembly that undergoes a partition comprising such a pole.
  • the staff having to handle the posts 1 or to work near them, is also protected against all risk of injury.
  • the post 1 is also provided with various holes provided for the installation of cleats, clips or screws, not shown.
  • the oval holes 11 allow, in addition to the easy passage of the electrical wiring, telephone, IT, etc., direct attachment, without intermediate part, elements provided with slots, for example of sleepers 45 that are placed between two posts 1 in the interior space between two panels.
  • the crosspieces 45 can serve as a support for other elements or stiffening means between two posts 1.
  • Circular holes 13 of small diameter can also be expected.
  • FIG 2 there is shown the attachment to a post 1 of different types of panels.
  • the panel 17 is made of wood or plaster and extends from the side of the rib 6.
  • a U-shaped fastening element 18 was fixed to the panel 17 by means of screws 19 during manufacture in factory.
  • the attachment element 18 comprises a parallel branch 18a and in contact with the face 17a of the panel 17 disposed on the side of the panel 1 and a branch 18b parallel to the branch 18a and to the long side 2 and arranged between the hook 10 and said long side 2 near the rib 6.
  • the attachment element 18 is completed by a branch 18c perpendicular to the branches 18a and 18b and joining them mutually.
  • a elastic wedge 20 disposed between the rib 6 and the face 17a of the panel 17 and ensuring good contact between these two elements. Shim 20 can be fixed in the factory on the surface 17a, for example by gluing.
  • Wedge 20 can be made of foam and allows stable and precise positioning of the panel 17 while ensuring good airtightness and rupture of sound and thermal bridge in the assembly.
  • An elastic wedge 21 is disposed between the branch 18b of the hooking element 18 and the long side 2 of post 1, again to perfect a precise and stable positioning of the panel 17 relative to the pole 1.
  • the wedge 21 can be common for a another panel and has the same advantages as the shim 20.
  • the panel 22 comprises a metal sheet 23 of low thickness of which the end of the side of the rib 7 is folded at a right angle towards the long side 2 by forming an edge 24 parallel to the short sides 4 and 5.
  • the free end of the edge 24 is itself folded at right angles and forms one end 25 disposed between the hook 10 and the large side 2 nearby of the rib 7.
  • the end 25 is in contact with the shim 21.
  • the panel 22 is completed by an insulating element 26, for example of the fire stop type, fixed on the metal sheet 23 on the side of the rib 7.
  • the two panels 17 and 22 therefore offer coplanar and adjacent exterior surfaces, only a space 27 of small dimension separating the two panels 17 and 22.
  • this space may vary on the one hand, thanks to the lateral clearance left in the hanging punching of the panel and, on the other hand, to the possible variation of the width of the panel himself.
  • the space 27 reduced to 0 is called "edge to edge”.
  • the maximum width allowed by the system is approximately 10 mm.
  • a panel 28 which comprises a metal profile 29 provided with an edge 30 and an end 31 similar to edges 24 and end 25 of panel 22.
  • Profile 29 includes a stepped portion 32 on which is mounted an element plane 33 by means of a wedge 34 and a seal made of material synthetic 35.
  • a panel 36 again comprising a flange 37 and an end 38 similar to those of the panel 22.
  • the panel 36 comprises a wall 39 parallel and coplanar to the adjacent panel 28.
  • the wall 39 is folded to right angle inward to form a wall 40 parallel to the small 5 sides and arranged nearby.
  • the wall 40 is extended by a flange 41 forming a right angle and extending towards the short side 5, its end 42 being folded again at a right angle towards the rib 7 and parallel to the short sides 5.
  • a wedge 43 is disposed in contact with the flange 41 and the end 42 and receives a planar element 44 similar to the planar element 33 of the panel 28, but set back relative to the planar element 33, which allows a substantial reduction in the thickness of the partition formed by post 1 and the panels it supports, resulting in a gain in surface area and volume available in the room where the partition is located.
  • the half-post 46 is produced from a hollow metal profile, for example in galvanised steel.
  • the post 46 has a section corresponding to that of a post 1 cut in half in the middle of the long sides 2 and 3 with a ledge stiffening 53, 54 arranged at the cut end 47a, 48a of each semi-large side 47, 48, facing inward and parallel to the short side 49.
  • the half-pole 46 is generally shaped rectangular with half long sides 47, 48 parallel, one short side 49 perpendicular to the semi-long sides 47, 48, and a last side 50 on the ends 47a, 48a of the half-long sides 47, 48.
  • the last side 50 is parallel to the short side 49 and partially closed by the edges of stiffening 53, 54 from the ends 47a, 48a. We can predict that each edge 53, 54 closes about a third of the last side 50.
  • Two longitudinal ribs 51 and 52 are each arranged at one end of each large side 47, 48 and are flush with the small side 49.
  • the half-post 46 is symmetrical with respect to a plane parallel to the large ones sides 47, 48 and arranged equidistant from them.
  • the long side 47 is is thus recessed relative to the rib 51 and the long side 48 is is also recessed with respect to the rib 52.
  • Hooks 10 as well as all the other hanging means provided on the posts 1 can be arranged on the long sides 47, 48 and on the short side 49.
  • the half-posts 46 are particularly useful for wall intersections and for fixing to a fixed structure.
  • the intersections of partitions can be achieved by bringing a half post 46 with the last side 50 in contact with the panels a first removable partition in accordance with the invention, at the intersection between two panels 55 and 56, the panel 55 being identical to panel 22 and panel 56 of a slightly different type but provided of the same attachment means. Panels 55 and 56 are hung on a post 1.
  • a connecting element 57 can be arranged passing between the two panels 55 and 56 and hung on the one hand in a bore 14 of the post 1 located behind the panels and, on the other hand, in a bore 11 of the half-pole 46 passing between the flanges 53, 54 partially closing the last side 50.
  • the connecting element 57 can be in the form a rod provided with notches, not shown, capable of cooperating with the edges of the holes 11 and 14 of the posts 46 and 1.
  • the hold elastic 58 has a C section with a central branch main 58a parallel to and in contact with the last side 50 of the half-post 46 on one side and parallel to and in contact with the outer surface panels 55 and 56 on the other hand, a side branch 58b parallel to and in contact with the long side 47, and a lateral branch 58c parallel to and in contact with the long side 48 of the half-post 46.
  • the branches 58b and 58c are each taken between the lateral branch 58b, 58c and the corresponding panel 22 and thus replace the shim 21 used on the pole 1.
  • the main central branch 58a comprises a bore 58d in which the connecting element 57 is disposed.
  • Panels for example of type 22, can then be fixed on the hooks 10 of the half-post 46 and extend perpendicularly to the panels of the first partition.
  • the invention there is a removable partition reusable, suitable for all types of premises, particularly tertiary and this, without height limit which can be annoying.
  • the fact that the hooks come from the material forming the posts allows the removal of a large number of cleats or the like and a decrease significant number of pieces. As the hooks are made without supply of material, the posts 1 maintain a reasonable mass, which facilitates their handling and reduces the load supported by floors on which they are based.
