Description

Domaine TechniqueTechnical area

L'invention se rapporte à un câble élastique qui peut notamment être utilisé pour la mise sous tension de toiles textiles employées en tant qu'éléments architecturaux.The invention relates to an elastic cable which can in particular be used for tensioning textile fabrics used as architectural elements.

Il peut s'agir par exemple de plafonds réalisés en toile tendue, ou bien encore de bardage.It can be for example ceilings made of stretched canvas, or even cladding.

L'invention trouve donc une application privilégiée pour la mise sous tension et le maintien de toiles textiles, mais elle concerne plus spécifiquement un câble élastique tendeur qui peut être utilisé de très nombreuses manières.The invention is therefore a preferred application for the tensioning and maintenance of textile fabrics, but more specifically relates to a tensioning elastic cable that can be used in many ways.

Techniques antérieuresPrevious techniques

De nombreux bâtiments possèdent des structures en toile tendue qui sont utilisées en tant que bardage, cloisonnage, ou bien encore comme plafonds. Ainsi, certains bassins de piscines sont équipés d'une toiture réalisée en toile tendue, généralement enduite en polychlorure de vinyle. Cette toile tendue est reliée à un ou plusieurs profilés périphériques, ou à un cadre fixe. La liaison entre la toile et le cadre fixe s'effectue au moyen de câbles élastiques tendeurs qui, de par leurs propriétés d'élasticité, assurent la mise sous tension de la toile.Many buildings have stretched canvas structures that are used as cladding, partitioning, or as ceilings. Some swimming pools are equipped with a roof made of stretched canvas, usually coated with polyvinyl chloride. This stretched fabric is connected to one or more peripheral profiles, or to a fixed frame. The connection between the fabric and the fixed frame is effected by means of tensioning elastic cables which, by virtue of their elasticity properties, ensure the tensioning of the fabric.

Les câbles élastiques tendeurs du type connu sont généralement constitués d'une âme à base de fils de caoutchouc, et d'une gaine textile, généralement formée de fils tressés. Plus précisément, les fils en caoutchouc sont généralement à base de latex naturel et sont associés en faisceau pour former le diamètre nécessaire.Elastic tensioning cables of the known type generally consist of a core based on rubber threads, and a textile sheath, generally formed of braided son. More precisely, the rubber threads are generally based on natural latex and are bundled together to form the required diameter.

Ce faisceau de fils de latex naturel est protégé par une gaine tressée, réalisée généralement en polypropylène, en polyéthylène, en polyamide, en polyester, ou encore en coton. Cette gaine protège les fils de latex des blessures mécaniques pouvant intervenir lorsque le câble est soumis à des contraintes mécaniques importantes.This bundle of natural latex son is protected by a braided sheath, generally made of polypropylene, polyethylene, polyamide, polyester, or cotton. This sheath protects the latex threads from mechanical injuries that may occur when the cable is subjected to significant mechanical stresses.

Or, de façon générale, on a observé une faible résistance des fils de latex à différents facteurs extérieurs, tels que notamment les rayonnements ultra-violets, ou bien encore les attaques chimiques lorsque le câble est utilisé dans des atmosphères agressives. C'est par exemple le cas à proximité de la mer, à cause de l'action corrosive du sel sur le latex.However, in general, there has been a low resistance of the latex yarns to various external factors, such as in particular ultraviolet radiation, or else chemical attacks when the cable is used in aggressive atmospheres. This is for example the case near the sea, because of the corrosive action of salt on the latex.

On observe également une dégradation des fils de latex des câbles utilisés pour tendre les toitures de piscines, puisque les dérivés chlorés émanant de la piscine ont une action corrosive sur les fils de latex. En pratique, cette dégradation se traduit par un ramollissement des fils de latex, qui perdent de leurs propriétés élastiques, et vont même jusqu'à se déliter dès qu'ils subissent un écrasement. Le câble perd ainsi toutes ses propriétés d'élasticité, et on observe donc une perte de tension de la toile qui engendre donc des défauts d'aspect.There is also a degradation of the latex son of the cables used to stretch the pool roofs, since the chlorinated derivatives emanating from the pool have a corrosive action on the latex threads. In practice, this degradation results in softening of the latex threads, which lose their elastic properties, and even break up as soon as they undergo a crush. The cable thus loses all its elasticity properties, and there is therefore a loss of tension in the fabric which therefore causes appearance defects.

Lorsque le latex est fortement dégradé, c'est la gaine périphérique qui assure à elle seule le maintien de la toile, d'où l'augmentation du risque de chute de cette demière. En outre, cette dégradation est particulièrement pernicieuse puisqu'elle est généralement masquée par la gaine, et qu'elle ne se révèle que lorsque le câble est pratiquement hors d'usage, ou pire lorsque qu'il se rompt.When the latex is heavily degraded, it is the peripheral sheath that ensures alone the maintenance of the canvas, hence the increase in the risk of falling of the latter. In addition, this degradation is particularly pernicious since it is generally masked by the sheath, and that it is revealed only when the cable is virtually out of use, or worse when it breaks.

Un premier problème que se propose de résoudre l'invention est celui de la résistance des câbles tendeurs à différents types d'atmosphères chimiques agressives.A first problem that the invention proposes to solve is that of the resistance of the tensioning cables to different types of aggressive chemical atmospheres.

On a déjà proposé d'équiper les câbles tendeurs d'une double gaine de tresses. Cette solution n'est toutefois pas satisfaisante, puisqu'une double gaine n'est pas réellement étanche aux gaz.It has already been proposed to equip the tensioning cables with a double sheath of braids. This solution is however not satisfactory, since a double sheath is not really gas tight.

Par ailleurs, un autre problème qui se pose avec les câbles tendeurs gainés d'une tresse textile, est celui du fait que les blessures d'un câble laissent apparaître les fils de latex intérieurs. Or, dans le cas où une telle blessure n'est pas gênante pour que le câble continue à assurer ses fonctions mécaniques, il en résulte un défaut d'aspect relativement visible, notamment lorsque la gaine de tresse est d'une couleur différente de celle des fils de latex.On the other hand, another problem that arises with tensioning cables wrapped in a textile braid is that the wounds of a cable reveal the inner latex threads. However, in the case where such a wound is not annoying for the cable to continue to perform its mechanical functions, it results in a relatively visible defect appearance, especially when the braid sheath is of a different color from that latex threads.

En outre, les câbles tendeurs utilisés jusqu'à présent, comportent une gaine tressée et requièrent donc des manipulations particulières pour être aboutés les uns aux autres. En effet, comme la gaine tressée et les fils élastiques n'ont pas les mêmes propriétés d'allongement, il est nécessaire d'assurer le blocage de la gaine par rapport aux fils de latex pour pouvoir réaliser les différents aboutages.In addition, the tensioning cables used so far, have a braided sheath and therefore require special handling to be butted to each other. Indeed, as the braided sheath and the elastic threads do not have the same elongation properties, it is necessary to ensure the blocking of the sheath with respect to the latex son to be able to achieve the various fingerings.

On conçoit que ces manipulations sont relativement fastidieuses et génèrent en outre certains défauts d'aspect du câble.It is understood that these manipulations are relatively tedious and also generate some appearance defects of the cable.

Exposé de l'inventionPresentation of the invention

L'invention concerne donc un câble élastique tendeur.The invention therefore relates to a tensioning elastic cable.

Conformément à l'invention, ce câble est constitué à partir de polysiloxane.According to the invention, this cable is made from polysiloxane.

Autrement dit, l'invention consiste à réaliser un câble tendeur à partir de polysiloxane ou de silicone, qui peut avantageusement être obtenu par extrusion.In other words, the invention consists in producing a tensioning cable from polysiloxane or silicone, which can advantageously be obtained by extrusion.

Ainsi, le câble élastique conforme à l'invention est composé en totalité d'un matériau silicone, généralement connu pour sa forte hydrophobie, et plus généralement sa grande inertie chimique. En effet, les matériaux silicones sont généralement utilisés dans les domaines médicaux, pour leurs bonnes propriétés d'inertie chimique. Ils sont également utilisés en tant que joints d'étanchéité, du fait de leurs bonnes propriétés d'adhésion. Les silicones sont également utilisés pour leur résistance à la chaleur, notamment en tant que gaines pour des fils électriques soumis à des hautes températures.Thus, the elastic cable according to the invention is composed entirely of a silicone material, generally known for its high hydrophobicity, and more generally its great chemical inertness. Indeed, silicone materials are generally used in the medical field for their good properties of chemical inertness. They are also used as seals, because of their good adhesion properties. Silicones are also used for their resistance to heat, especially as sheaths for electrical wires subjected to high temperatures.

Conformément à l'invention, le silicone est donc utilisé pour ses propriétés d'élasticité sous traction, qui ne sont pas employées en tant que telles dans l'art antérieur.According to the invention, the silicone is therefore used for its tensile elastic properties, which are not used as such in the prior art.

Le câble élastique tenseur conforme à l'invention se présente donc sous la forme d'un jonc exempt de toute couche de protection extérieure.The tensor elastic cable according to the invention is therefore in the form of a ring without any outer protective layer.

Avantageusement, en pratique, le câble peut incorporer également des pigments colorés, ce qui permet d'obtenir un câble teint dans la masse. Ainsi, dans le cas où une entaille serait faite sur le câble, celle-ci ne laisserait pas apparaître une matière de couleur différente, mais au contraire, une zone intérieure présentant la même couleur que celle apparaissant à l'extérieur du câble.Advantageously, in practice, the cable can also incorporate colored pigments, which makes it possible to obtain a dyed cable in the mass. Thus, in the case where a notch would be made on the cable, it would not reveal a different color material, but on the contrary, an inner area having the same color as that appearing outside the cable.

Le câble peut adopter des sections de formes très variées, et notamment une section circulaire, une section rectangulaire plate, ou plus généralement une section adaptée à une application particulière. Ainsi, la section circulaire peut adopter un diamètre fonction des efforts d'élasticité que doit exercer le câble. Ce diamètre peut varier de quelques millimètres à deux centimètres. Le plus généralement, il est compris entre 8 et 12 mm.The cable may adopt sections of very varied shapes, including a circular section, a flat rectangular section, or more generally a section adapted to a particular application. Thus, the circular section may adopt a diameter depending on the elastic forces that must exert the cable. This diameter can vary from a few millimeters to two centimeters. Most generally, it is between 8 and 12 mm.

Le câble ainsi utilisé peut être notamment associé à des moyens d'accrochage présents au moins à l'une de ses extrémités. Ce câble peut donc servir à la réalisation d'extenseurs du type connu sous la marque "SANDOW".The cable thus used may in particular be associated with fastening means present at least at one of its ends. This cable can thus be used for making expanders of the type known under the trademark " SANDOW ".

Le câble peut également être utilisé pour des applications nécessitant la mise sous tension d'une toile. Il peut donc être employé pour tendre une toile par rapport à un cadre fixe pour former un plafond, ou bien un bardage. Elle peut également être utilisée pour tendre des bâches de remorques de camions.The cable can also be used for applications requiring the powering up of a fabric. It can therefore be used to stretch a canvas relative to a fixed frame to form a ceiling, or a cladding. It can also be used to tension tarpaulins of truck trailers.

Description sommaire des figuresBrief description of the figures

La manière de réaliser l'invention ainsi que les avantages qui en découlent ressortiront bien de la description du mode de réalisation qui suit, à l'appui de l'unique figure annexée illustrant une zone de détail de l'accrochage et de la mise sous tension d'une toile par rapport à un cadre.The manner of carrying out the invention as well as the advantages which result therefrom will emerge from the description of the embodiment which follows, in support of the single appended figure illustrating a detail zone of the attachment and the setting tension of a canvas with respect to a frame.

Manière de réaliser l'inventionWay of realizing the invention

La figure 1 illustre un détail de l'accrochage d'une toile tendue par rapport à un cadre fixe.Figure 1 illustrates a detail of the attachment of a canvas stretched relative to a fixed frame.

Plus précisément, cette toile tendue (1) présente une pluralité d'oeillets (2) disposés en périphérie (3) de la toile. Ces différents oeillets sont disposés à intervalles réguliers, sur un ourlet réalisé par soudure ou couture (4,5) sur la périphérie de la toile. Les oeillets sont ainsi mis en place sur une double épaisseur de toile.More specifically, this stretched fabric (1) has a plurality of eyelets (2) disposed at the periphery (3) of the fabric. These eyelets are arranged at regular intervals, on a hem made by welding or seam (4,5) on the periphery of the fabric. The eyelets are thus set up on a double layer of canvas.

Cette toile est tendue par rapport à un cadre (6) qui est équipé de crochets (7) ou plus généralement de zones assurant le passage du câble tendeur (10). En pratique, le cadre peut être réalisé par des profilés indépendants fixés sur les murs du bâtiment. Il peut également former un cadre indépendant, constitué de différents profilés solidarisés entre eux.This fabric is stretched relative to a frame (6) which is equipped with hooks (7) or more generally zones ensuring the passage of the tensioning cable (10). In practice, the frame can be realized by independent profiles fixed on the walls of the building. It can also form an independent frame, consisting of different profiles joined together.

Conformément à l'invention, ce câble tendeur (10) est réalisé à partir de silicone.According to the invention, this tensioning cable (10) is made from silicone.

On a obtenu de bons résultats en utilisant un câble élastique réalisé à partir du silicone commercialisé sous la marque "RHODORSIL" MF 360U par la Société RHODIA.Good results have been obtained using an elastic cable made from the silicone marketed under the trademark "RHODORSIL " MF 360U by Rhodia.

Ce silicone vulcanisable à chaud est extrudé au diamètre souhaité, et par exemple à un diamètre de 9 mm. Il est ensuite réticulé par voie peroxyde, en étant soumis à une température de 200°C pendant quelques minutes. Il subit ensuite un recuit de plusieurs heures.This hot vulcanizable silicone is extruded to the desired diameter, for example to a diameter of 9 mm. It is then crosslinked peroxide, being subjected to a temperature of 200 ° C for a few minutes. It is then annealed for several hours.

Les tests d'élasticité ont été menés, et ont donné les résultats suivants.The elasticity tests were conducted, and gave the following results.

Ainsi, pour un câble réalisé à partir du silicone précité, et présentant un diamètre de 9 mm, on a procédé à différents tests d'allongement, en mesurant la force de retour développée par le câble, pris sur une longueur de 10 cm au repos.Thus, for a cable made from the aforementioned silicone, and having a diameter of 9 mm, various elongation tests were carried out, by measuring the return force developed by the cable, taken over a length of 10 cm at rest. .

Ainsi, la force développée lorsque la portion du câble subit 40 % d'allongement est de 3,7 décaNewtons. Lorsque la portion de câble subit un allongement de 100 %, la force élastique exercée par le câble est de 12,75 décaNewtons.Thus, the force developed when the portion of the cable undergoes 40% elongation is 3.7 decaNewtons. When the cable portion is 100% elongated, the elastic force exerted by the cable is 12.75 decaNewtons.

L'allongement à la rupture de ce câble est supérieure à 200 %.The elongation at break of this cable is greater than 200%.

Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée à la seule forme de réalisation décrite ci-avant, mais couvre de multiples autres variantes de formulation, d'incorporation de charges pigmentaires, et de dimensions.Of course, the invention is not limited to the single embodiment described above, but covers many other variants of formulation, incorporation of pigment fillers, and dimensions.

Il est également possible d'obtenir un câble par coextrusion de silicones de formulations différentes. Dans ce cas, il est possible de régler la forme de la courbe de raideur.It is also possible to obtain a cable by coextrusion of silicones of different formulations. In this case, it is possible to adjust the shape of the stiffness curve.

Il ressort de ce qui précède que le câble élastique tendeur conforme à l'invention présente de multiples avantages, notamment, outre sa forte élasticité, une forte inertie chimique, et donc une résistance à de nombreux milieux habituellement agressifs pour le latex, tels que les milieux humides, les milieux chauds, les milieux chlorés, ou les milieux soumis à un fort rayonnement ultraviolet.It follows from the foregoing that the tensioning elastic cable according to the invention has many advantages, in particular, besides its high elasticity, a high chemical inertia, and therefore a resistance to many media usually aggressive for latex, such as wet environments, hot environments, chlorinated media, or environments subjected to strong ultraviolet radiation.

Il présente en outre l'avantage d'une très bonne résistance au feu.It also has the advantage of very good fire resistance.

Utilisé en câble tendeur, il présente également l'avantage de ne pas nécessiter de gaine de protection, ce qui simplifie les opérations de mise en place. Il présente en outre l'avantage de pouvoir être teint dans la masse, ce qui permet de le décliner avec les mêmes gammes de couleurs que celles utilisées pour les toiles qu'il peut mettre sous tension. Par ailleurs, de par l'absence de gaine extérieure, un simple contrôle visuel permet de détecter d'éventuelles blessures.Used as a tensioning cable, it also has the advantage of not requiring a protective sheath, which simplifies the setting up operations. It also has the advantage of being dyed in the mass, which allows to decline it with the same color ranges as those used for paintings that he can turn on. Moreover, due to the absence of an outer sheath, a simple visual inspection can detect any injuries.

Applications industriellesIndustrial applications

Le câble conforme à l'invention peut être utilisé dans de multiples applications, et peut notamment servir pour former des tendeurs également connus sous le nom "SANDOW", avec la très grande variété d'emplois connus.The cable according to the invention can be used in multiple applications, and can in particular be used to form tensioners also known under the name " SANDOW ", with the very wide variety of known uses.

Il peut également servir pour la mise sous tension de toiles, de bâches ou plus généralement de structures textiles ou analogues.It can also be used to tension webs, tarpaulins or more generally textile structures or the like.

Il présente notamment une application toute particulière pour la formation de plafonds tendus, de bardage ou de cloison.It has particular application for the formation of stretch ceilings, cladding or partition.

Il peut également être utilisé dans le domaine du nautisme.It can also be used in the field of boating.
