Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device forming a foot for stake or mast, in particular for an arbor or panel, and a method of closing such a device.
  • the arbor or panel legs are generally constituted by metal tubes or wooden masts of a diameter between 18 and 50 mm. These feet can be sunk into the ground to immobilize the structure they support. However, it is not always possible to press these feet in the ground, for example, when the ground in question is a terrace, a paved road or a lawn that it should not be damaged.
  • plinths concrete which are intended to receive the lower end of panel feet.
  • bases are heavy, so impractical to move, and do not allow to receive feet or masts that are not exactly vertical. But he happens, in the case of arbors, but also for panels comprising several feet forming a structure in pyramid shape, that stakes to be immobilized are inclined to the vertical, so that there is no no device adapted to constitute the foot.
  • the stakes of devices such as arbors or billboards have diameters variable, even sections of variable, circular shapes, oval or polygonal, which may prevent the use of certain known bases which are only compatible with stakes with circular cross-section of a determined diameter.
  • EP-A-0 380 272 discloses a device forming a foot for a stake which includes two parts intended to be assembled by tenons and mortises arranged around a central hole designed to receive essentially a pole vertical small diameter. Assembly by tenons and mortises requires the handling of heavy parts to engage from above a tenon in the corresponding mortise, by hand and other of the orifice thus formed.
  • the invention relates to a device forming base for stake or mast, in particular for an arbor or panel, comprising two wedges, of complementary shapes, intended to be assembled by defining between them a well for receiving this stake or mast, characterized in that the device also comprises at least one elastic clamp, each wedge comprising at least one toothed zone capable of cooperating with said elastic clamp.
  • the wedges can be put in place on either side of a stake or mast by enclosing it in the well they form, without the need to lift them by relative to the ground on which they are placed, then locked together around this stake or mast thanks to the elastic clamp which cooperates with the toothed areas of each wedge.
  • the wedges are formed by hollow envelopes obtained by blowing, injection molding, rotational molding, thermoforming or any other method of shaping a plastic material.
  • These hollow envelopes are easy to transport and handle until they are weighted, while their weight is sufficient to fulfill the desired function when they are weighted.
  • the pliers is able to cooperate simultaneously with the toothed areas of the two wedges, this clamp being shaped to exert on these areas teeth a pinching effort tending to bring them together.
  • the clamp elastic thus closes the well around the stake or mast, which allows the shims to be locked in position.
  • each wedge is inclined relative to a median plane of the mounted device. This aspect of the invention allows a progressive effort pinch obtained with the shim, which allows to adapt the diameter of the receiving well at the different diameters of the stakes or masts it can receive.
  • the teeth of the toothed area of each wedge are tilted in one direction facilitating the positioning of the clamp in one direction generally perpendicular to these teeth.
  • Each wedge advantageously comprises two toothed zones arranged on either side of the well, in the mounted position of the device. This arrangement makes it possible to balance the efforts suffered by the holds.
  • the teeth of two toothed zones cooperating with an elastic clamp are generally parallel to each other in the mounted position of the device, which makes it possible to envisage rapid disassembly and easy of the foot once this one formed.
  • the spring clip is obtained by molding polyethylene, especially polyethylene. high density, or that it is metallic.
  • Such a method can be easily implemented without need to lift the envelopes constituting the device, that is to say without too much effort.
  • the device 1 is intended to be mounted at the lower end 2 a of a stake 2 formed by a metal tube, such as a stake of the tent mast type, constituting the foot of an arbor.
  • the device 1 comprises two hollow envelopes 3 and 4 obtained by blowing a plastic material such as polyethylene or polypropylene.
  • Envelopes 3 and 4 can also be produced by injection molding of a thermoplastic material, rotational molding or thermoforming and possibly include a ultrasonic welding line.
  • envelopes 3 and 4 are each provided with an orifice not shown filling intended to be closed by a plug, also not shown. Envelopes 3 and 4 can thus be partially or completely filled with ballast material L, such as sand, water or cement.
  • ballast material L such as sand, water or cement.
  • Each envelope 3 or 4 defines a zone 13 or 14 for receiving the stake 2.
  • the zone 13 of the envelope 3 is formed on a face 3 a , called the internal face, generally perpendicular to the surface S on which the device 1 is placed and intended to be placed opposite a corresponding face 4 a , also called the internal face, of the envelope 4.
  • the zone 14 of the envelope 4 is formed on the face 4 a .
  • the zones 13 and 14 together define, between the envelopes 3 and 4, a well 15 for receiving the stake 2.
  • Zones 13 and 14 are slightly tapered, so that stake 2 can be received in well 15 by being substantially parallel to a normal Z-Z 'at the surface S, that is to say globally vertical when the surface S is horizontal, but also being inclined relative to this normal Z-Z ', in particular due to the geometry of the set to which it belongs, such as an arbor whose feet are generally tilted for better stability.
  • the casing 3 comprises two tongues 23 and 23 'extending in a direction generally perpendicular to the well 15, at the side edges 3b, 3c of the casing 3.
  • Note 23 a and 23' has the inner faces tongues 23 and 23 'which extend the face 3 a .
  • 23 b and 23 ' b the external faces of the tongues 23 and 23' opposite the internal faces 23 a and 23 ' a .
  • the envelope 4 is provided with two tabs 24 and 24 'of which there are respectively 24 a and 24' a the internal faces directed towards the envelope 3 and 24b and 24 ' b the external faces opposite to the internal faces. .
  • the external faces 23 b , 23 ′ b , 24 b and 24 ′ b of the tongues are each provided with several inclined teeth, respectively referenced 23 c , 23 ′ c , 24 c and 24 ′ c .
  • each tooth 23 c has a first face 23 d , inclined relative to the internal face 23 a of the tongue 23, and a second face 23 e , generally perpendicular to the internal face 23 a .
  • the teeth 23 ' c , 24 c and 24' c are similar.
  • P a median plane between the surfaces 3 a and 4 a when the device is mounted in the position of FIGS. 2 and 3.
  • the toothed zones 23 b and the like remain generally perpendicular to the surface S, c that is to say vertical when this surface is horizontal. Due to the inclination of the toothed zones 23 b and 24 b relative to the plane P, the teeth 23 c and 24 c are increasingly distant from the plane P as one approaches the well 15.
  • the toothed zones 23 b and 24 b are oriented opposite each other in the mounted position of the device 1.
  • the zone 23 b is oriented opposite the casing 4 and the tongue 24.
  • the zone 24 b is oriented opposite the tongue 23.
  • the toothed zones 23 ′ b and 24 ′ b are oriented opposite each other.
  • Two elastic clamps 26 and 27 are provided to be arranged in overlap, for one on the toothed areas 23 b and 24 b , for the other on the toothed areas 23 ' b , and 24' b .
  • the clamps 26 and 27 are formed by molding of high density polyethylene. They can also be made of other plastic materials or metal.
  • the clamps 26 and 27 exert on them a pinching force F tending to bring the internal faces 3 a and 4 to the envelopes 3 and 4 of the plane P , which has the effect of closing the well 15 around the stake 2.
  • the force F obtained is also elastic, so that it adapts to variations in the apparent diameter of the post, in particular when the latter is subjected to a tilting force which has tendency to spread opposite faces 3 a and 4 has envelopes 3 and 4.
  • the invention makes it possible to automatically adjust the diameter of the well 15 to the section of the stake 2.
  • the mast 2 ′ used is of relatively large diameter and the opposing faces 3a and 4a of the casings 3 and 4 are separated by a distance of greater than the corresponding distance d in the configuration of Figure 3.
  • the grippers 26 and 27 are partially engaged on the toothed zones 23 b and equivalent, because the distance d ' is such that the clamps 26 and 27 are opened to the maximum when they cooperate with the teeth 23 c and the outermost equivalents, that is to say the ones furthest from the well 15 .
  • the inclined nature of the teeth 23 c and the like makes it possible to envisage the positioning of the clamps 26 and 27 on the tongues 23, 23 ', 24 and 24' by pressure parallel to the internal surfaces 23 a and 24 a or 23 ' a and 24 ' a , in the direction of well 15, overlapping on the external faces 23 b and 24 b or 23' b and 24 ' b .
  • We push in this direction as long as it is possible to advance the clamp 26 on the toothed areas 23 b and 24 b .
  • the ends 26 a of the clamp 26 jump between the teeth until reaching a position of maximum elastic opening of the clamp, or the position of FIG. 3, in which the progression of the clamp 26 in the direction of the arrow F 'is blocked. Due to the inclined nature of the teeth 23 c and the like, the clamp 26 does not risk reversing in the opposite direction to the arrow F ', so that the locking obtained is stable over time.
  • Envelopes 3 and 4 are identical, which allows make them with a single mold. They are wider in the lower part than in their upper part, which gives them very good stability, even when they are partially met.
  • this fabric may be received between the surfaces 3a and 4 has envelopes 3 and 4, on either side of the well 15. In fact, the fabric can easily be sandwiched between these surfaces, without risk of deterioration.
  • the invention has been described with wedges or envelopes 3 and 4 each comprising two toothed zones 23 b , 23 ' b and 24 b , 24' b . It is however applicable with wedges articulated together on one of their lateral edges while their other edge carries a toothed zone intended to cooperate with an elastic clamp.
  • the device is closed by pivoting at least one of the shims around their common axis of articulation, so as to bring the toothed areas closer together, then by placing the elastic clamp on the toothed areas, as indicated above.
  • the shims used for locking the stake in position are hollow envelopes. he it is understood that these wedges 3 or 4 can be parts solid and more generally, all blocking parts having a geometry according to the invention.
  • the use of hollow envelopes makes it possible to obtain shims which can be ballasted only on their site of use, or even emptied after use, which has a considerable advantage for their transport and handling.
