Description

La présente invention a pour objet un procédé de réalisation de décors sur un objet par usinage d'un complexe, et un objet obtenu par ledit procédé.The present invention relates to a method of making decorations on an object by machining a complex, and an object obtained by said method.

On connaît déjà des procédés de réalisation de décors sur un objet par usinage d'un complexe constitué de l'assemblage d'éléments différents, notamment en bois, qui consistent dans un premier temps à fabriquer ledit complexe en réalisant une superposition de couches d'éléments de nuances et/ou de couleurs différentes, et éventuellement d'épaisseur variable, puis à usiner ledit complexe ainsi obtenu, selon des profondeurs variées pour faire apparaître, en fonction de la ou des couches traversées et de la manière dont est réalisé l'usinage, des reliefs et des formes géométriques variées.Processes for producing decorations on an object by machining a complex consisting of the assembly of different elements, in particular made of wood, which consist in a first step in manufacturing said complex by producing a superposition of layers, are already known. elements of different shades and / or colors, and possibly of variable thickness, then machining said complex thus obtained, according to various depths to reveal, depending on the layer or layers crossed and the manner in which it is realized machining, reliefs and various geometric shapes.

Ces procédés sont toutefois limités quant aux effets décoratifs obtenus. Ils sont notamment destinés à la réalisation de parois, où, par la variation de la profondeur de l'usinage, on obtient des formes variées concentriques, un tel procédé est par exemple décrit dans le document FR 2.700.500 .These methods are, however, limited as to the decorative effects obtained. They are particularly intended for the production of walls, where, by varying the depth of the machining, one obtains various concentric shapes, such a method is for example described in the document FR 2.700.500 .

Le document DE 31 42 446 propose également un procédé analogue, il propose de plus un procédé consistant à sculpter un bloc cylindrique comprenant des couches concentriques.The document DE 31 42 446 also proposes a similar method, it further proposes a method of carving a cylindrical block comprising concentric layers.

On connaît également par le document US 1.994.204 , un procédé pour la réalisation de mosaïques, consistant à confectionner un bloc par assemblage de barres de section rectangulaire, puis à couper ledit bloc selon un plan non parallèle à ceux d'assemblage desdites barres.It is also known from the document US994.204 , a method for producing mosaics, consisting of making a block by assembling bars of rectangular section, then cutting said block in a plane not parallel to those of assembly of said bars.

On connaît également par le document FR 2 411 680 , un procédé d'assemblage dans la masse de bois d'essences différentes, lequel consiste à réaliser un bloc parallélépipédique venant, entre autres opérations, de l'assemblage de panneaux formés par le rapprochement de liteaux, ledit bloc étant destiné ensuite à être usiné par tournage.It is also known from the document FR 2 411 680 , a method of assembly in the mass of wood of different species, which consists in producing a parallelepiped block coming, among other operations, the assembly of panels formed by the approximation of battens, said block being then intended to be machined by turning.

La présente invention a pour but de proposer un procédé de réalisation de décors sur un objet par usinage d'un complexe du type de ceux précités, et qui permet d'obtenir des effets décoratifs nouveaux.The object of the present invention is to propose a process for producing decorations on an object by machining a complex of the type of those mentioned above, and which makes it possible to obtain new decorative effects.

Le procédé de réalisation de décors sur un objet par usinage d'un complexe selon l'invention est du type consistant à réaliser une ou plusieurs opérations de tournage dans des profondeurs variables d'un complexe consistant en l'assemblage de matériaux qui diffèrent par leur nuance et/ou leur couleur, ledit complexe consistant en un arrangement de barres de section polygonale, et de nuances et/ou de couleurs variées, et qui consiste à assembler des barres de matériaux différents pour obtenir ledit complexe, et il se caractérise en ce qu'il consiste à assembler des barres en matériaux opaques tels que du bois, avec des barres en matériaux plastiques transparents pour obtenir le complexe.The method of producing decorations on an object by machining a complex according to the invention is of the type consisting in carrying out one or more turning operations in variable depths of a complex comprising the assembly of materials which differ in their shade and / or color, said complex consisting of an arrangement of bars of polygonal section, and of various shades and / or colors, and which consists in assembling bars of different materials to obtain said complex, and it is characterized in that it consists in assembling bars made of opaque materials such as wood, with bars made of transparent plastic materials to obtain the complex.

Le tournage permet d'obtenir des dessins très variés mais homogènes, et également symétriques si le complexe est convenablement centré lors de l'opération de tournage. On peut toutefois créer des formes moins régulières en provoquant un décentrage dudit complexe.The turning makes it possible to obtain very varied but homogeneous drawings, and also symmetrical if the complex is appropriately centered during the turning operation. However, less regular shapes can be created by causing the said complex to be decentered.

La fabrication du complexe à partir de matériaux différents nécessite de respecter certains critères, afin d'éviter notamment une détérioration de l'assemblage dans le temps pour des raisons par exemple de coefficients de dilatation différents. Par ailleurs, il convient d'éviter de mélanger des matériaux durs et des matériaux mous, un tel assemblage étant susceptible de ne pas être usiné de manière satisfaisante.The manufacture of the complex from different materials requires meeting certain criteria, in particular to avoid deterioration of the assembly over time for reasons such as different expansion coefficients. Furthermore, it is advisable to avoid mixing hard materials and soft materials, such an assembly being likely not to be machined satisfactorily.

Selon une caractéristique additionnelle du procédé selon l'invention, celui-ci consiste à assembler des barres de dimensions transversales différentes pour obtenir le complexe.According to an additional feature of the method according to the invention, it consists in assembling bars of different transverse dimensions to obtain the complex.

Il est possible de faire varier les dimensions transversales des barres, à conditions toutefois d'en réaliser un arrangement ne laissant subsister aucun vide.It is possible to vary the transverse dimensions of the bars, provided, however, to make an arrangement leaving no void.

Selon une autre caractéristique additionnelle du procédé selon l'invention, celui-ci consiste à assembler des barres de sections polygonales différentes pour obtenir le complexe.According to another additional feature of the method according to the invention, it consists in assembling bars of different polygonal sections to obtain the complex.

Les barres ne sont pas obligatoirement de même section polygonale telle que carrée, rectangulaire, triangulaire hexagonale, un complexe peut ainsi, à titre d'exemples, être constitué de l'arrangement de barres de section carrée et rectangulaire, ou bien octogonale et carrée.The bars are not necessarily of the same polygonal section such as square, rectangular, triangular hexagonal, a complex can thus, for example, consist of the arrangement of bars of square and rectangular section, or octagonal and square.

Les avantages et les caractéristiques du procédé selon l'invention, ressortiront plus clairement de la description qui suit et qui se rapporte au dessin annexé, lequel en représente un mode de réalisation non limitatif.The advantages and characteristics of the method according to the invention will become more clearly apparent from the description which follows and which refers to the appended drawing, which represents a non-limiting embodiment thereof.

Dans le dessin annexé :

  • La figure 1 représente une vue en perspective qui illustre une étape du procédé de réalisation de décors sur un objet par usinage selon l'invention.
  • La figure 2 représente une vue en perspective d'une partie d'un objet réalisé par le procédé selon l'invention.
In the attached drawing:
  • The figure 1 represents a perspective view which illustrates a step of the method of producing decorations on an object by machining according to the invention.
  • The figure 2 represents a perspective view of a part of an object produced by the method according to the invention.

En référence à la figure 1, on peut voir un complexe 1 réalisé par l'assemblage de barres 2 de section carrée, solidarisées entre-elles par des moyens appropriés, par une opération de collage par exemple.With reference to the figure 1 , we can see a complex 1 made by the assembly of bars 2 of square section, secured together by appropriate means, by a bonding operation for example.

Dans ce mode de réalisation, les barres 2 sont de deux nuances différentes, et sont arrangées en alternance en sorte de former longitudinalement des lignes et en section un damier. Bien entendu, de nombreux arrangements sont réalisables, par la modification des nuances et ou des couleurs des barres 2, par la modification des formes des barres 2, et par la disposition de celles-ci dans le complexe 1.In this embodiment, the bars 2 are of two different shades, and are arranged alternately so as to form lines longitudinally and in section a checkerboard. Of course, many arrangements are feasible, by changing the shades and or colors of the bars 2, by changing the shapes of the bars 2, and by the arrangement thereof in the complex 1.

En référence maintenant à la figure 2, on peut voir une partie d'un objet 3 réalisé par tournage d'un complexe 1 constitué de l'arrangement de barres identiques de section carrée, mais de nuances différentes.Referring now to the figure 2 , we can see a part of an object 3 made by turning a complex 1 consisting of the arrangement of identical bars of square section, but of different shades.

On peut voir que selon la profondeur d'usinage on obtient des dessins différents. De plus, le tournage permet la réalisation, en plus des formes arrondies obtenues de manière bien connue, des décors symétriques et présentant d'harmonieuses rondeurs.It can be seen that according to the machining depth, different designs are obtained. In addition, the turning allows the realization, in addition to the rounded shapes obtained in a well-known manner, symmetrical decorations and having harmonious curves.

On comprendra qu'en réalisant un arrangement différent des barres 2, c'est-à-dire non symétrique par exemple, il est possible de créer des dessins de formes originales.It will be understood that by making a different arrangement of the bars 2, that is to say non-symmetrical for example, it is possible to create drawings of original shapes.

Le procédé selon l'invention est destiné à la fabrication de nombreux objets notamment dans l'ameublement tels que, de manière non limitative, des pieds de table et de chaise, des supports de lampes.The method according to the invention is intended for the manufacture of many objects, particularly in furniture, such as, but not limited to, table and chair legs, lamp supports.

De manière avantageuse, le procédé selon l'invention permet de réaliser des pièces originales ne ressemblant à aucune autre, par le simple fait de la modification de l'emplacement des barres 2 dans le complexe 1, et/ou une modification de l'usinage que ce soit dans la forme ou dans la profondeur.Advantageously, the method according to the invention makes it possible to produce original parts that do not resemble any other, simply by modifying the location of the bars 2 in the complex 1, and / or by modifying the machining whether in form or depth.
