Description

La présente invention concerne les dispositifs utilisés pour supporter les mâts de parasol et en particulier un dispositif de blocage et de maintien d'un mât de parasol.The present invention relates to the devices used to support the parasol masts and in particular a device for blocking and holding an umbrella pole.

Il existe de nombreux dispositifs permettant de supporter les mâts de parasol. Si l'on excepte des dispositifs dans lesquels les mâts sont enfoncés dans le sol, la plupart des dispositifs comportent des moyens pour coincer le mât et donc le rendent solidaire du dispositif de support.There are many devices for support parasol poles. If we except devices in which the masts are driven into the ground, most devices have means to wedge the mast and therefore make it integral with the support device.

Ces moyens sont généralement constitués par une vis que l'on sert ou par un coinceur excentrique qui est en rotation autour d'un axe. Malheureusement, ces moyens comportant des éléments en rotation sont soumis à des frottements et donc à une usure rapide sans compter que la plupart étant en fer, ils se rouillent et finissent pas se gripper.These means are generally constituted by a screw that it is served or by an eccentric jammer which is in rotation around an axis. Unfortunately, these means involving rotating elements are subject to friction and therefore to rapid wear, most of which being made of iron, they rust and end up seizing up.

En outre, il est important que le mât de parasol soit mobile et donc qu'il puisse être déplacé facilement. Beaucoup de dispositifs de support de mât de parasol sont lourds et il est difficile sinon impossible pour une seule personne de pouvoir les déplacer. On a donc songé à utiliser des dispositifs munis de roues. Mais ces dispositifs sont forcément plus complexes, plus sophistiqués et par voie de conséquence plus coûteux.In addition, it is important that the parasol mast is mobile and therefore it can be moved easily. Many umbrella mast support devices are heavy and it is difficult if not impossible for one person to be able to move them. So we thought about using devices fitted with wheels. But these devices are necessarily more complex, more sophisticated and by way of more expensive consequence.

C'est pourquoi un des buts de l'invention est de fournir un dispositif de blocage et de maintien d'un mât de parasol qui ne présente ni pièce tournante, ni axe de rotation ou parties qui se vissent.This is why one of the aims of the invention is to provide a device for blocking and holding an umbrella pole which has no rotating part, no axis of rotation or parts that screw together.

Un autre but de l'invention est de fournir un dispositif de blocage et de maintien d'un mât de parasol qui soit facile à déplacer et simple à monter ou à démonter.Another object of the invention is to provide a device easy locking and holding of an umbrella pole to move and simple to assemble or disassemble.

L'objet de l'invention est donc un dispositif de blocage et de maintien d'un mât de parasol du type comprenant des moyens de support du mât posés sur le sol et comportant un évidement vertical dans lequel est placé le mât de parasol, et des moyens de blocage pour bloquer le mât et le rendre solidaire des moyens de support. Les moyens de blocage comprennent un moyen de retenue de mât adapté pour être placé à l'intérieur de l'évidement et destiné à supporter le pied du mât et comprenant au moins un élément de maintien à son extrémité supérieure pour le maintenir dans une position déterminée à l'intérieur de l'évidement, et un coinceur adapté pour venir coiffer au moins une partie de l'élément de maintien et, en prenant appui sur cette partie de l'élément de maintien, coincer le mât de parasol contre la paroi de l'évidement de façon à le rendre solidaire des moyens de support.The object of the invention is therefore a blocking device and holding a parasol mast of the type comprising mast support means placed on the ground and comprising a vertical recess in which the parasol pole is placed, and blocking means for blocking the mast and making it secured to the support means. Blocking means include mast retention means adapted to be placed inside the recess and intended to support the foot of the mast and comprising at least one holding element at its upper end to keep it in a position determined inside the recess, and a jammer suitable for styling at least part of the element of maintenance and, by resting on this part of the element holding the parasol mast against the wall the recess so as to make it integral with the means of support.

Selon une caractéristique de l'invention, le moyen de retenue du mât est un élément métallique en forme de U dont l'élément de maintien est formé par les portions supérieures horizontales de chacune des branches du U s'appuyant respectivement sur des rebords horizontaux disposés dans l'ouverture supérieure de l'évidement central des moyens de support.According to a characteristic of the invention, the means of mast retainer is a U-shaped metal element whose the holding element is formed by the upper portions horizontal of each of the branches of the U leaning respectively on horizontal edges arranged in the upper opening of the central recess of the means of support.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le coinceur comprend un étui destiné à coiffer la partie supérieure de l'une des branches du moyen de retenue, et un moyen de pression comprenant un premier élément adapté pour prendre appui contre la partie supérieure d'une des branches du moyen de retenue et un second élément adapté pour exercer une pression sur le mât et le maintenir solidaire des moyens de support lorsque le coinceur a été placé en position de coincement.According to another characteristic of the invention, the jammer includes a case intended to cover the part upper of one of the branches of the retaining means, and a pressure medium comprising a first element adapted for lean against the upper part of one of the branches retaining means and a second element adapted to exercise pressure on the mast and keep it in solidarity with the means support when the jammer has been placed in the jamming.

    • Un parasol 10 dont le mât 12 est bloqué par un dispositif de blocage et de maintien du mât selon l'invention est illustré sur la figure 1. Le mât 12 est maintenu en position verticale par un moyen de retenue non visible et coincé par un moyen de coincement également non visible, l'ensemble étant supporté par des moyens de support formés de deux pieds 14 et 16 imbriqués l'un dans l'autre comme on le verra par la suite.A parasol 10 whose pole 12 is blocked by a mast locking and holding device according to the invention is illustrated in Figure 1. The mast 12 is maintained in vertical position by a non-visible retaining means and jammed by a wedging means also not visible, the assembly being supported by support means formed of two feet 14 and 16 nested one inside the other as we will see later.

    De façon optionnelle, une table 18 peut être disposée au-dessus des pieds 14 et 16.Optionally, a table 18 can be arranged above feet 14 and 16.

    L'ensemble du dispositif de blocage et de maintien dont tous les éléments ont été démontés est représenté en perspective sur la figure 2. Comme on le voit, chacun des pieds est de forme longitudinale, le pied 14 venant s'imbriquer comme partie mâle dans le pied 16 comme partie femelle de façon à former une croix. Pour ce faire le pied femelle 16 comprend une échancrure 20 ouverte vers le haut dans laquelle s'imbrique le pied mâle 14 comportant une échancrure 22 ouverte vers le bas.The entire blocking and holding device including all elements have been dismantled is shown in perspective in FIG. 2. As can be seen, each of the feet is longitudinal, foot 14 coming nest as male part in foot 16 as part female so as to form a cross. To do the foot female 16 includes a notch 20 open upwards in which the male foot 14 is nested comprising a notch 22 open downward.

    Les deux pieds 14 et 16 comportent chacun un évidement central de forme cylindrique 24 ou 26 (illustrés en pointillés sur la figure) constituant un seul trou central destiné à recevoir le mât de parasol 12 une fois monté. The two feet 14 and 16 each have a recess central cylindrical 24 or 26 (illustrated in dotted on the figure) constituting a single central hole intended to receive the parasol pole 12 once mounted.

    Un moyen de retenue 28 du mât 12 est adapté pour s'insérer dans le trou central résultant de l'imbrication des deux pieds 14 et 16, soit par l'ouverture 30 sur la face supérieure du pied mâle 14 en l'absence de table, soit par l'ouverture 32 se trouvant sur la face supérieure de la table 18 lorsque cette dernière est installée, et de forme identique à l'ouverture 30. Enfin, un moyen de coincement ou coinceur est adapté pour venir coincer le mât 12 en fin de montage et le rendre solidaire du support formé par les pieds 14 et 16 imbriqués.A retaining means 28 of the mast 12 is adapted for fit into the central hole resulting from the nesting of two feet 14 and 16, either through the opening 30 on the face upper part of male foot 14 in the absence of a table, either by the opening 32 located on the upper face of the table 18 when the latter is installed, and form identical to opening 30. Finally, a means of wedging or jammer is adapted to jam the mast 12 at the end of mounting and make it integral with the support formed by the feet 14 and 16 nested.

    Le moyen de retenue 28 représenté sur la figure 3 en même temps que la coupe du pied 14 dans lequel il est inséré, comprend principalement un élément métallique en U dont les deux branches comportent, dans leur partie supérieure, une portion horizontale destinée à venir s'appuyer sur des rebords horizontaux correspondants de l'ouverture 30 du pied 14 lorsque l'élément 28 a été mis en place. Ainsi, la branche gauche 36 comporte un élément horizontal 38 destiné à s'appuyer sur le rebord horizontal 40 de l'ouverture 30, et la branche droite 42 comporte un élément horizontal 44 destiné à s'appuyer sur le rebord horizontal 45.The retaining means 28 shown in Figure 3 in at the same time as the section of the foot 14 in which it is inserted, mainly includes a U-shaped metal element whose two branches have, in their upper part, a horizontal portion intended to come to rest on corresponding horizontal edges of the opening 30 of the foot 14 when the element 28 has been put in place. So the branch left 36 has a horizontal element 38 intended for lean on the horizontal edge 40 of the opening 30, and the straight branch 42 has a horizontal element 44 intended to rest on the horizontal edge 45.

    Le moyen de retenue 28 en forme de U comprend également à sa partie inférieure, un élément 46 flexible faisant ressort terminé à son extrémité par une butée 48 en forme d'hameçon. Lorsque l'élément 28 est inséré dans le trou central par l'ouverture 32 de la table 18, la longueur de l'élément en U est telle que la butée 48 se trouve à l'extérieur du trou 26 du pied femelle 16 juste dessous le rebord du trou. Par conséquent, le positionnement de l'élément 46 muni de sa butée 48 entraíne le blocage de l'élément en U 28 entre les portions horizontales 38 et 44 et la butée 48 , et donc permet le déplacement du parasol muni de son support en soulevant le mât. Si la table 18 n'est pas utilisée, l'élément en U 28 est supporté par des rebords horizontaux de l'ouverture 30 du pied 14 identique à l'ouverture 32 de la table 18. Mais dans ce cas, la butée 48 se trouve plus bas que la face inférieure du pied à une distance égale à l'épaisseur de la table, soit environ 2cm. Ceci n'a pas d'importance dans la mesure ou le soulèvement du mât entraíne la remontée vers le haut de la butée 48 et donc son blocage contre le dessous du pied 16 après environ 2cm de course.The U-shaped retainer 28 also includes at its lower part, a flexible element 46 making spring terminated at its end by a shaped stop 48 hook. When element 28 is inserted into the hole central through the opening 32 of the table 18, the length of the U-shaped element is such that the stop 48 is located at the outside of the hole 26 of the female foot 16 just below the edge of the hole. Therefore, the positioning of the element 46 provided with its stop 48 causes the blocking of the U-shaped element 28 between the horizontal portions 38 and 44 and the stop 48, and therefore allows the displacement of the parasol provided from its support by lifting the mast. If table 18 is not used, the U-shaped element 28 is supported by flanges horizontal of the opening 30 of the foot 14 identical to the opening 32 of the table 18. But in this case, the stop 48 is lower than the underside of the foot at a distance equal to the thickness of the table, about 2cm. This does not matter in the measurement or the lifting of the mast causes the ascent to the top of the stop 48 and therefore its blocking against the underside of foot 16 after about 2cm of race.

    Enfin, la portion horizontale 44 de la branche 42 du moyen de retenue 28 est prolongée par un retour en forme de crochet 50 qui sert au coinceur 34 pour exercer le coincement du mât 12 comme décrit ci-dessous.Finally, the horizontal portion 44 of the branch 42 of the retaining means 28 is extended by a return in the form of hook 50 which is used for the jammer 34 to exert jamming of mast 12 as described below.

    Le coinceur 34 représenté sur les figures 4A et 4B est constitué d'un élément 52 métallique qui se présente sous forme d'étui ayant une section en U renversé et d'un élément 54 en matériau plastique, notamment en Nylon®, fixé à l'intérieur de l'élément 52 et à son extrémité gauche. L'élément plastique 54 comporte de part et d'autre une portion cylindrique à section semi-circulaire, la portion extérieure 56 et la portion intérieure 58, dont l'utilité est expliquée en référence aux figures 5A, 5B et 5C.The jammer 34 shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B is consisting of a metallic element 52 which is presented under case form having an inverted U-shaped section and an element 54 made of plastic material, in particular Nylon®, fixed to inside the element 52 and at its left end. The plastic element 54 has on either side a cylindrical portion with semicircular section, the portion exterior 56 and interior portion 58, the utility of which is explained with reference to Figures 5A, 5B and 5C.

    Lorsque l'utilisateur a inséré le moyen de blocage 28 en forme de U dans le trou central du support par l'ouverture de la table ou du support, il introduit alors le mât dans ledit trou central jusqu'à ce que le pied du mât prenne appui sur le fond de l'élément en U 28. L'utilisateur introduit alors le coinceur 34 en position verticale entre le mât 12 et le retour 50 en forme de crochet. Puis, le coinceur est basculé vers l'avant dans le sens des aiguilles d'une montre, comme illustré sur la figure 5B, de manière à ce que la portion intérieure 58 à section circulaire vienne se placer à l'intérieur du crochet formé par le retour 50. Le coinceur est ensuite obligé à pivoter toujours dans le sens des aiguilles d'une montre, en se servant du point d'appui constitué par la portion circulaire intérieure 58. Dans la dernière phase du pivotement, la portion circulaire extérieure 56 prend appui sur le mât 12 et exerce une pression de plus en plus forte sur ce dernier jusqu'à la position finale horizontale du coinceur 34 illustrée sur la figure 5B où la portion 56 est légèrement écrasée contre le mât 12 du fait de la pression.When the user has inserted the locking means 28 in U shape in the central hole of the support by the opening of table or support, he then introduces the mast into said central hole until the foot of the mast is supported on the bottom of the U-shaped element 28. The user then introduces the jammer 34 in a vertical position between the mast 12 and the back 50 hook-shaped. Then, the jammer is tilted forward clockwise, as illustrated in FIG. 5B, so that the portion interior 58 with circular section come to place inside the hook formed by the return 50. The jammer is then forced to always rotate in the direction of clockwise, using the fulcrum constituted by the inner circular portion 58. In the last phase of pivoting, the circular portion outside 56 is supported on the mast 12 and exerts a increasing pressure on the latter until the horizontal end position of the jammer 34 illustrated on the Figure 5B where the portion 56 is slightly crushed against the mast 12 due to pressure.

    On doit noter que le coinceur 34 pourrait avoir une forme différente de celle représentée dans le mode de réalisation préféré décrit ci-dessus. Mais il devra toujours comporter une partie d'extrémité capable d'exercer une pression sur le mât par exemple en s'écrasant légèrement dans le cas d'un matériau plastique contre le mât 12 pendant qu'une deuxième portion sert de point d'appui sous le retour 50 pour faire pivoter le coinceur jusqu'à ce que la pression exercée sur le mât de parasol soit maximale.It should be noted that the jammer 34 could have a different form from that shown in the preferred embodiment described above. But he will always have an end portion capable of exerting a pressure on the mast for example by crushing slightly in the case of a plastic material against the mast 12 during a second portion serves as a fulcrum under the return 50 to rotate the jammer until the pressure exerted on the parasol pole is maximum.

    Dans une variante de réalisation représentée sur la figure 6, le coinceur 34 est un élément en forme de U en inox à deux branches de longueur différente dont la partie courbe 60 exerce la pression sur le mât 12. A l'intérieur se trouve un matériau élastique 62 tel que du mastic élastomère très élastique sur lequel une pression est exercée par une plaquette 64 fixée par la vis 66 sur l'extrémité horizontale 68 de la branche droite 42 de l'élément en U 28. Lorsque le mât 12 est enfoncé dans le pied de parasol, le coinceur 34 est en position inclinée et n'exerce quasiment pas de pression sur le mât 12. Puis le coinceur vient exercer une pression sur le mât 12 (ce qui permet de coincer le mât), lorsque l'utilisateur remet le coinceur en position horizontale en le faisant pivoter dans le sens des aiguilles d'une montre grâce au matériau 62 repoussé vers la gauche par la plaquette 64. On doit noter que la plaquette 64 comporte plusieurs emplacements de vis de manière à pouvoir régler la position du coinceur en fonction du diamètre du mât de parasol.In an alternative embodiment shown in the FIG. 6, the jammer 34 is a U-shaped element made of stainless steel with two branches of different length, the curved part of which 60 exerts pressure on the mast 12. Inside is an elastic material 62 such as very elastomeric sealant elastic on which pressure is exerted by a plate 64 fixed by screw 66 on the horizontal end 68 of the straight branch 42 of the U-shaped element 28. When the mast 12 is pushed into the parasol base, the jammer 34 is in an inclined position and practically does not pressure on the mast 12. Then the jammer exerts a pressure on the mast 12 (which makes it possible to wedge the mast), when the user returns the jammer to its position horizontal by rotating it clockwise of a watch thanks to the material 62 pushed to the left by the plate 64. It should be noted that the plate 64 comprises multiple screw locations so you can adjust the position of the jammer according to the diameter of the mast Beach umbrella.

    Le mât de parasol muni de dispositif de blocage et de maintien qui vient d'être décrit présente de nombreux avantages. Ainsi, ne présentant aucune pièce tournante, axe de rotation et filetage, il ne risque pas de se gripper. Il peut être monté et démonté sans outils, et peut être déplacé facilement soit en restant monté dans la mesure où un moyen de blocage rend tous les éléments solidaires ou en étant démonté puisque l'opération de démontage est extrêmement rapide. En outre, la base du mât de parasol ne retient pas l'eau et il est facile d'extraire des déchets ou objets qui se seraient éventuellement introduits entre le mât et le moyen de blocage.The parasol mast fitted with a locking device and maintenance which has just been described presents many benefits. Thus, having no rotating part, axis rotation and threading, there is no risk of seizing up. he can be assembled and disassembled without tools, and can be moved easily either by remaining mounted as far as a means blocking makes all the elements integral or by being dismantled since the dismantling operation is extremely fast. In addition, the base of the parasol pole does not hold water and it is easy to extract waste or objects that may have entered between the mast and the locking means.
