Description

La présente invention a pour objet un carreau en terre cuite pour la réalisation de cloisons, et notamment de petites cloisons. Le carreau dont il s'agit permet de réaliser des cloisons de distribution et de doublage, ou des parois d'habillage et de façon plus générale des travaux de bricolage. Il s'agit d'un carreau dont la mise en oeuvre est facile même pour un utilisateur non professionnel. Le carreau dont il s'agit est destiné à réaliser de petites cloisons, par exemple dans des cuisines ou dans des salles de bains. Il s'agit d'un carreau qui est particulièrement bien adapté à une mise en oeuvre par un utilisateur non professionnel.The present invention relates to a terracotta tile for the production of partitions, and in particular small partitions. The tile in question makes it possible to produce distribution partitions and lining, or cladding walls and more generally works DIY. It is a tile whose implementation is easy even for a non-professional user. The tile in question is intended for making small partitions, for example in kitchens or in bathrooms. This is a tile which is particularly well suited to implementation by a non-professional user.

Actuellement, les cloisons de petites dimensions sont réalisées essentiellement avec des carreaux de plâtre, montés au plâtre, ou avec des carreaux en béton cellulaire. Des outils de coupe sont nécessaires pour réaliser l'adaptation des différents carreaux à la taille souhaitée. La coupe de ces carreaux crée de la poussière, ce qui constitue un inconvénient lorsque la cloison doit être montée dans un local habité. En outre, certains de ces produits, notamment les produits à base de plâtre ne sont pas adaptés à une utilisation dans des locaux humides.Currently, small partitions are made essentially with plaster tiles, mounted with plaster, or with aerated concrete tiles. Cutting tools are required to adapt the different tiles to the desired size. The cutting these tiles creates dust, which constitutes a disadvantage when the partition must be mounted in an inhabited room. In in addition, some of these products, in particular plaster-based products, do not are not suitable for use in damp rooms.

Il est également, par exemple du document FR-A-2 344 690, connu d'utiliser des carreaux en terre cuite comprenant deux parois de parement parallèles reliées par des cloisons transversales délimitant entre elles des alvéoles longitudinales, les deux faces longitudinales de ce carreau, parallèles aux alvéoles et perpendiculaires aux parois de parement présentant chacune au moins une rainure longitudinale destinée au logement de clavettes d'assemblage avec des carreaux voisins. Si ce type de produit convient bien pour une utilisation dans des locaux humides, la découpe demeure difficile, nécessitant des outils adaptés, et génère de la poussière.It is also, for example from document FR-A-2 344 690, known to use terracotta tiles comprising two parallel facing walls connected by partitions transverse delimiting between them longitudinal cells, the two longitudinal sides of this pane, parallel to the cells and perpendicular to the facing walls each having at least one longitudinal groove intended for housing assembly keys with neighboring tiles. If this type of product is suitable for a use in damp rooms, cutting remains difficult, requiring suitable tools, and generates dust.

Le but de l'invention est de fournir un carreau en terre cuite, du dernier type cité, qui puisse être mis en oeuvre de façon simple, sans nécessiter un outillage particulier autre qu'un marteau ou une hachette de plâtrier, et qui puisse être découpé sans poussière. A cet effet, le carreau qu'elle concerne est caractérisé en ce que, d'une part, il comporte des amorces de rupture le long d'au moins certaines des cloisons transversales et, d'autre part, ces cloisons transversales comportent, débouchant dans l'une de leurs faces, au moins une rainure longitudinale identique à un type de rainure débouchant dans les faces longitudinales du carreau. The object of the invention is to provide a terracotta tile, last type mentioned, which can be implemented in a simple manner, without require special tools other than a hammer or hatchet plasterer, and which can be cut without dust. For this purpose, the tile that it relates to is characterized in that, on the one hand, it comprises incipient fractures along at least some of the transverse bulkheads and, on the other hand, these transverse partitions comprise, opening into one of their faces, at least one longitudinal groove identical to a type groove opening into the longitudinal faces of the tile.

Il est ainsi possible de réaliser une adaptation de la dimension du carreau en réalisant sa rupture au niveau de cloisons intérieures, tout en bénéficiant au niveau de la cloison intérieure le long de laquelle le carreau a été rompu, d'une rainure longitudinale permettant un assemblage avec un carreau voisin. Compte tenu de la présence des amorces de rupture, la mise à dimension du carreau est réalisée avec la seule mise en oeuvre d'un marteau ou une hachette de plâtrier.It is thus possible to carry out an adaptation of the dimension of the tile by making its rupture at the level of interior partitions, everything by benefiting from the interior partition along which the tile was broken, with a longitudinal groove allowing an assembly with a neighboring tile. Given the presence of the primers of rupture, the dimensioning of the tile is carried out with the only setting work of a plasterer's hammer or hatchet.

Avantageusement, chaque cloison intermédiaire est associée à des amorces de rupture et présente au moins une rainure longitudinale.Advantageously, each intermediate partition is associated with fracture initiators and has at least one longitudinal groove.

Cette caractéristique permet une excellente adaptabilité de la dimension d'un carreau, dans la mesure où sa rupture peut être réalisée au niveau de chaque cloison intermédiaire.This characteristic allows excellent adaptability of the dimension of a tile, insofar as it can be broken at level of each intermediate partition.

Avantageusement, les amorces de rupture associées aux cloisons intermédiaires sont disposées sensiblement au niveau de la face de chaque cloison, dans laquelle débouche une rainure longitudinale. La rupture éventuelle d'un carreau est réalisée exactement dans le plan de la cloison intermédiaire dans laquelle débouche une rainure, de telle sorte que l'assemblage entre deux carreaux voisins présente, même si l'un d'eux a été découpé, une parfaite continuité.Advantageously, the primers of rupture associated with intermediate partitions are arranged substantially at the level of the face of each partition, into which a longitudinal groove opens. The possible rupture of a tile is carried out exactly in the plane of the intermediate partition into which a groove opens, so that the assembly between two neighboring tiles is present, even if one of them has been cut, perfect continuity.

D'ailleurs, les faces de parement extérieures sont lisses, ce qui permet de réaliser la finition de la cloison soit par seule application d'un enduit pelliculaire, soit en collant directement du carrelage, soit en laissant les faces apparentes.Besides, the outer facing faces are smooth, which allows the partition to be finished either by simply applying a film coating, either by sticking directly from the tiling, or by leaving the visible faces.

Suivant une autre caractéristique de l'invention, les amorces de rupture sont constituées par des rainures ménagées dans les faces intérieures des parois de parement au niveau de cloisons transversales reliant celles-ci.According to another characteristic of the invention, the primers of rupture consist of grooves in the faces interior of the facing walls at the level of transverse partitions connecting these.

Avantageusement, ce carreau comporte au moins une ligne de rupture orientée transversalement aux alvéoles. Il est ainsi possible d'adapter la dimension d'un carreau dans le sens de sa longueur et dans le sens de sa hauteur également.Advantageously, this tile comprises at least one line of rupture oriented transversely to the alveoli. It is thus possible to adapt the dimension of a tile in the direction of its length and in the sense of its height also.

Suivant une forme d'exécution de ce carreau, celui-ci comporte deux lignes de rupture orientées transversalement aux alvéoles, situées à des distances différentes des deux faces transversales du carreau du côté duquel elles se trouvent respectivement. Il est ainsi possible de réaliser la rupture du carreau le long de l'une des deux lignes orientées transversalement aux alvéoles, afin que le carreau possède la surface la plus proche possible de la surface souhaitée.According to an embodiment of this tile, it comprises two rupture lines oriented transversely to the cells, located at different distances from the two transverse faces of the side tile from which they are found respectively. It is thus possible to carry out the breakage of the tile along one of the two oriented lines transversely to the alveoli, so that the tile has the surface the as close as possible to the desired surface.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, ce carreau possède un format carré.According to another characteristic of the invention, this tile has a square format.

Cette caractéristique permet d'utiliser le carreau soit avec des alvéoles horizontales, soit avec des alvéoles verticales. Par exemple, un panneau de mur peut être monté sur l'essentiel de sa longueur avec des alvéoles horizontales, le dernier carreau étant disposé avec des alvéoles verticales, pour permettre d'adapter la longueur de ce dernier carreau à la longueur du mur. Un même carreau peut être découpé suivant une ligne de rupture parallèle aux alvéoles, et suivant une ligne de rupture transversale aux alvéoles, par exemple pour obtenir une découpe destinée au passage de tuyauteries.This feature allows the tile to be used with either horizontal cells, either with vertical cells. For example, a wall panel can be mounted for most of its length with horizontal cells, the last pane being arranged with cells vertical, to allow the length of the latter tile to be adapted to the length of the wall. The same tile can be cut along a line of rupture parallel to the alveoli, and along a transverse rupture line to the cells, for example to obtain a cutout intended for passage of piping.

Suivant une forme d'exécution de ce carreau, le pas des cloisons transversales est de l'ordre de 5 cm, et les lignes de rupture orientées transversalement aux alvéoles sont situées respectivement à environ 10 cm et 5 cm des deux faces transversales du carreau, pour un carreau ayant une des dimensions de l'ordre de 44 x 44 cm. Il est ainsi possible, avec un tel format, de limiter les valeurs des zones à reboucher à 3 cm.According to an embodiment of this tile, the step of transverse partitions is around 5 cm, and the breaking lines oriented transversely to the cells are located respectively at about 10 cm and 5 cm from the two transverse sides of the tile, for a tile having one of the dimensions of the order of 44 x 44 cm. It is so possible, with such a format, to limit the values of the areas to be filled in 3 cm.

De toute façon, l'invention sera bien comprise à l'aide de la description qui suit, en référence au dessin schématique annexé représentant, à titre d'exemple non limitatif, une forme d'exécution de ce carreau :

  • Figure 1 est une vue en perspective de deux carreaux selon l'invention, et d'une portion de carreau destinée à être assemblée sur les deux premiers carreaux ;
  • Figure 2 est une vue en coupe transversale et à échelle agrandie du tronçon de carreau de figure 1 ;
  • Figure 3 est une vue en perspective d'un carreau accessoire, comportant des lignes de rupture verticales ;
  • Figure 4 est une vue d'une cloison montée entre deux murs, réalisée à l'aide des carreaux selon l'invention.
    • In any case, the invention will be clearly understood with the aid of the description which follows, with reference to the appended schematic drawing representing, by way of nonlimiting example, an embodiment of this tile:
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view of two tiles according to the invention, and a portion of tile intended to be assembled on the first two tiles;
  • Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view on an enlarged scale of the section of tile of Figure 1;
  • Figure 3 is a perspective view of an accessory tile, having vertical break lines;
  • Figure 4 is a view of a partition mounted between two walls, made using the tiles according to the invention.

    • Le carreau selon l'invention, désigné par la référence générale 2, est réalisé en terre cuite, et obtenu par filage. Il comprend deux parois de parement, dont les faces extérieures sont lisses, reliées par une pluralité de cloisons transversales 4, délimitant entre elles des alvéoles 5. Les deux faces longitudinales de ce carreau, parallèles aux alvéoles et perpendiculaires aux parois de parement, sont désignées par la référence 6. Chaque face longitudinale 6 présente une rainure 7 centrale et longitudinale, destinée à l'engagement de clavettes 8 assurant le positionnement des carreaux voisins les uns relativement aux autres, tant dans le sens horizontal que dans le sens vertical. Chaque cloison transversale 4 est associée au niveau de sa face supérieure, dans laquelle débouche une rainure 7, a deux lignes de rupture longitudinales constituées par deux rainures 9 ménagées dans les faces intérieures des parois de parement 3. Chaque élément 2 possède un format carré, d'environ 44 x 44 cm, et le pas des cloisons transversales est de l'ordre de 5 cm. La hauteur d'un carreau 2 peut être ajustée en réalisant la rupture de celui-ci au niveau des rainures 9 à l'aide d'un simple marteau. C'est ainsi notamment qu'une portion de carreau désignée par la référence 10 est représentée à la partie supérieure de la figure 1.The tile according to the invention, designated by the general reference 2, is made of terracotta, and obtained by spinning. It has two walls facing, whose outer faces are smooth, connected by a plurality of transverse partitions 4, delimiting between them cells 5. The two longitudinal sides of this tile, parallel to the cells and perpendicular to the facing walls, are designated by the reference 6. Each longitudinal face 6 has a central groove 7 and longitudinal, intended for the engagement of keys 8 ensuring the positioning of neighboring tiles relative to each other, both horizontally than vertically. Each partition transverse 4 is associated at the level of its upper face, in which opens a groove 7, has two longitudinal breaking lines constituted by two grooves 9 formed in the inner faces of the facing walls 3. Each element 2 has a square format, about 44 x 44 cm, and the pitch of the transverse partitions is around 5 cm. The height of a tile 2 can be adjusted by performing the rupture thereof at the grooves 9 using a simple hammer. Thus, in particular, a portion of a tile designated by the reference 10 is shown in the upper part of FIG. 1.

    Le carreau selon l'invention peut également se présenter sous forme d'un carreau accessoire 12 qui possède exactement la même structure que le carreau 2, mais qui présente en outre deux lignes de rupture 13a et 13b verticales, c'est-à-dire orientées perpendiculairement aux alvéoles. La ligne de rupture 13a est située à une distance de 5 cm de l'extrémité du carreau du côté duquel elle se trouve, tandis que la ligne de rupture 13b est située à une distance de 10 cm de l'extrémité du carreau du côté duquel elle se trouve. Ces lignes de rupture permettent de réduire la longueur du carreau, si besoin est, ou encore, et comme montré à la figure 4, de réaliser un évidement 14, délimité par une ligne de rupture 13b et par deux lignes de rupture parallèles aux alvéoles. Cet évidement 14 permet, dans le cas présent, de ménager un passage pour des tuyauteries 15. La cloison qui est représentée à la figure 4 comprend donc, au niveau de sa rangée inférieure, un carreau accessoire 12, puis trois carreaux entiers 2 montés à alvéoles horizontales, et enfin un carreau 2 monté avec ses alvéoles orientées verticalement, la dimension de ce carreau ayant été réduite par rupture le long de rainures 9 parallèles aux alvéoles. Il suffit, en bout de mur, d'utiliser un agent de bouchage 16 sur une faible épaisseur, inférieure à 3 cm. La deuxième rangée verticale est réalisée avec des carreaux similaires, avec mise en oeuvre d'un montage croisé par rapport aux carreaux de la première rangée. Il n'est toutefois pas utile, au niveau de cette seconde rangée, de mettre en oeuvre deux carreaux accessoires. La troisième rangée comporte trois carreaux 2 ainsi que deux carreaux accessoires 12, tous les carreaux étant montés avec alvéoles horizontales. La partie haute est obturée à l'aide du même agent de bouchage 16.The tile according to the invention can also be presented under shape of an accessory tile 12 which has exactly the same structure as tile 2, but which also has two lines of vertical break 13a and 13b, i.e. oriented perpendicularly to the alveoli. The breaking line 13a is located at a distance of 5 cm from the end of the square on which side it is located, while the line of rupture 13b is located at a distance of 10 cm from the end of the tile on whose side it is. These break lines reduce the length of the tile, if necessary, or again, and as shown in the Figure 4, to make a recess 14, delimited by a breaking line 13b and by two rupture lines parallel to the cells. This recess 14 allows, in this case, to provide a passage for piping 15. The partition which is represented in FIG. 4 comprises therefore, at its lower row, an accessory tile 12, then three whole tiles 2 mounted with horizontal cells, and finally a tile 2 mounted with its vertically oriented cells, the dimension of this tile having been reduced by breaking along grooves 9 parallel to the alveoli. It suffices, at the end of the wall, to use a capping agent 16 on a small thickness, less than 3 cm. The second vertical row is made with similar tiles, using an assembly crossed in relation to the tiles in the first row. However, it is not not useful, in this second row, to implement two accessory tiles. The third row has three tiles 2 as well as two accessory tiles 12, all the tiles being mounted with horizontal cells. The upper part is closed using the same agent closure 16.

    Comme cela est montré à la figure 4, les clavettes de positionnement et d'assemblage 8 sont montées notamment dans les zones de croisement des carreaux.As shown in Figure 4, the keys positioning and assembly 8 are mounted in particular in the tile crossover areas.

    Comme il ressort de ce qui précède, l'invention apporte une grande amélioration à la technique existante, en fournissant un carreau en terre cuite de structure simple, très pratique de mise en oeuvre, même par un non professionnel, dont la taille est adaptable, sans nécessiter l'utilisation d'outils spécifiques, et dont la découpe est réalisée sans poussière. De plus, il s'agit d'un carreau qui résiste bien en milieu humide, et qui ne nécessite pour sa finition de ne recevoir qu'un seul enduit pelliculaire, ou directement un carrelage collé, par exemple.As is apparent from the above, the invention provides a great improvement to the existing technique, by providing a terracotta of simple structure, very practical of implementation, even by a non-professional, whose size is adaptable, without requiring the use of specific tools, the cutting of which is carried out without dust. In addition, it is a tile that resists well in humid environments, and which requires for its finish to receive only one coating film, or directly glued tiles, for example.

    Comme il va de soi, l'invention ne se limite pas à la seule forme d'exécution de ce carreau, décrite ci-dessus à titre d'exemple, elle en embrasse au contraire toutes les variantes telles que contenues dans les revendications. C'est ainsi notamment que les dimensions de ce carreau pourraient être différentes.It goes without saying that the invention is not limited to the single form of execution of this tile, described above by way of example, it on the contrary embraces all variants as contained in the claims. This is how the dimensions of this tile could be different.
