Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a vertical partitioning system of the type with panels mounted between two horizontal slides, and allowing individual disassembly of the panels without action on the adjacent panels. This type of panel mounting is said "no progressive".
  • a partitioning system of this type is for example described in patent EP 0 821 113 in the name of the applicant. It is made up of panels formed by two identical facings mounted symmetrically with respect to the median plane of the partition. These facing are connected to each other at the level of their vertical edges by a profile which has bearing surfaces intended to come to the contact of homologous surfaces of the profile of the adjacent panel. The fixing of the panels is done at these surfaces thanks to staples called "cams".
  • This method of attachment leaves a 3mm spacing necessary for the passage of the tool intended for communicate a torque to the cam clips to put them in the locking or unlocking position of the panels. Once these last installed, this gap is filled by a joint bottom receiving a silicone or other type seal, restoring a aesthetic unity and masking staples.
  • cam fastening systems as well manipulated by a tool, for example introduced into a hole made in the panel, which is then hidden using a cover to meet the usual aesthetic requirements once the place of panels completed.
  • the preferred field of use of the vertical partitioning system the invention is that of so-called "clean rooms” used in industries pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and other research industries. In these sectors of activity, the tolerated joints and therefore the spacings are 3mm for allow to ensure in good conditions a sufficient tightness of the places compartmentalised.
  • the present invention therefore proposes to remedy it by proposing on the one hand non-progressive partitions whose walls are on the other hand preserved from any tool insertion hole and spaced at most 3 mm, which therefore meet the specific constraints of so-called "clean rooms", especially in terms of sealing.
  • the vertical partition system is composed conventionally of panels comprising two identical facings mounted symmetrically with respect to the median plane of the partition, and it is characterized essentially in that each facing has, in its vertical edges lateral, at least one cutout intended to come next to a cutout counterpart of the vertical lateral edge of the facing of the adjacent panel, means fixing and maintaining distance from cooperating with the edges peripherals of the cut-outs opposite to allow the joining of adjacent panels delimiting between them a spacing gap allowing the manipulation of these means to put them respectively in position of unlocking / locking the panels.
  • the means of fixing and maintaining distance consist of staples comprising on the one hand a base ensuring their fixing on the lower edge of the cutout of a panel, and on the other hand a blade swivel mounted in the base and ensuring the fixing and the distance maintenance of the adjacent panel coming to lock on the lower peripheral border of the facing cut.
  • the base is of parallelepipedal appearance and has a fork formed by two side walls and a transverse end wall of connection, together delimiting a space in which the blade is housed pivoting, the two side walls each being provided with a groove serving to accommodate the lower peripheral border of one of the two cutouts to ensure fixing the base to the panel.
  • the blade is pivoted for example using a pin positioned in through holes which are respectively provided with side walls and the blade.
  • this pin has a diameter slightly greater than that of the holes, thus ensuring a connection simple but effective mechanics between the base and the blade.
  • the blade has a double notch coming to cooperate with the lower edges of the cut-outs facing each other, the distal notch of the axis of rotation coming to adjust to it on horseback and in abutment, the tab separating said notches defining the width of the gap between the panels.
  • this tab has a rounded end. allowing the blade to slide against the outer surface of the edges to facilitate thus its positioning in the locked position.
  • the cutouts in the edges have, in their cooperating borders with the fixing clip, of a central notch of rectangular appearance, of width substantially equal to that of the blades.
  • the bottom of said cuts is preferably perpendicular to their sides, so that the abutting contact with the bottom of the blade notches can be made on a maximum surface.
  • This method of fixing guarantees the blocking of the panels in the direction of partitioning, due to the low tolerance insertion, by reliefs complementary, from the distal notch of the axis of rotation on the wall of the edge of the adjacent panel, at the level of the notch. It also guarantees blocking in a direction perpendicular to the mean plane of the panels, due to the correspondence of the transverse dimensions of the blade and the notch.
  • the blade and the base cooperate moreover so that stops allow to control the angular displacement of the first in the second.
  • This characteristic notably makes the blade always accessible through the gap between two panels, preventing it from tilting too far towards the back of the base.
  • these stops consist of two edges of the blade intended for come into contact with the inner surface of the transverse wall of the base, so limit the rotary stroke of the blade respectively in the unlocked position and locked.
  • the blade also has a song with a shape parallel to that of said songs forming a stopper in the unlocked position, located so that in the latter position, this parallel edge is placed in the volume of the gap, substantially parallel to it.
  • This characteristic is particularly important when positioning a panel in a partition, between two panels already fixed.
  • the staple blade is very easily rotated using a flat tool whose thickness is less than the width of the gap.
  • the staple base is made of plastic or an alloy aluminum, while the blade is made of conductive material. This specificity ensures electrical continuity between each partition element with respect to electrostatic phenomena which may exist at the level of the walls.
  • the cutouts of the lateral vertical edges of the facings are rectangular, of width substantially equal to that of the base. This characteristic makes it possible to further improve the transverse blocking panels, in principle already secured by the blade.
  • the peripheral border of the cutouts may have two notches arranged symmetrically to the horizontal to facilitate mounting of the panels regardless of their direction of use.
  • a partitioning system such as that of the invention can of course be develop in several directions.
  • the main characteristics of the invention must be found whatever development and orientation you give to the wall. So the panel facings can be attached to end profiles of partitions, corner profiles and / or change of direction, edges lateral verticals of these end profiles then having to be similar to those classic panels.
  • the partitioning system of the invention offers in summary a solution simple and inexpensive to manufacture with the problem of watertight bulkheads and not progressive especially usable for clean rooms. This solution is doubly advantageous from an economic point of view, because it is easier to implement, especially during assembly, which can be carried out quickly using of a quickly formed workforce.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates the mounting of a "non-progressive" partitioning system according to the invention using two panels (A 1 ) and (A 2 ).
  • each panel for example (A 1 ) is composed of two facings (1) in profiled sheet whose folded side edges constitute the vertical edges (2).
  • the facings (1) are connected at the level of these vertical edges by connecting profiles (P).
  • the panels and the profile (P) are shown discontinuously in height, for reasons of legibility of the drawing.
  • the panels (A 1 , A 2 ) come to rest on a slide or lower smooth.
  • the partitioning system also includes an upper slide, which is not shown to highlight the shape of the profiles.
  • the figure also shows the cutouts (3) in the lateral vertical edges (2) of each facing (1). They are intended to receive the clips (not shown) ensuring the functions of fixing and maintaining distance of two panels (A 1 , A 2 , ..., A n ) consecutive in the partitioning.
  • cutouts (3) are arranged along the edges (2) so that each has a symmetrical shape with respect to a horizontal median plane. This specificity, as well as their positioning in the edges, ensures an installation of the partitioning independent of the direction of use of the panels (A 1 , A 2 , ..., A n ) or the facings (1).
  • Figure 1 also shows the mounting of the panel (A 2 ), represented by a single facing (1), when the panel (A 1 ) is already in place in the partitioning.
  • the establishment of the panel (A 2 ) is done by a translational movement symbolized by the arrow F, that is to say perpendicular to the vertical median plane of the partition, so as to bring the cutouts (not visible) made in its side edges opposite the homologous cutouts of the panel (A 1 ).
  • This implementation can obviously also be done in the opposite direction of this arrow depending on which side we operate.
  • the editor will have taken care, prior to the introduction of the panel (A 2 ), to fix the staples in the unlocked position in the cutouts (3), as will be explained in more detail in the following description.
  • Figure 2 is a representation of the clip (5) as it appears in locked position. It consists of a base (9) in which a blade (10).
  • FIG. 3 illustrates in more detail the base (9) whose shape is that of a part parallelepiped-like with a fork made up of two walls lateral (6, 7) connected by a transverse connecting wall (8), these walls delimiting between them a space (13) in which the blade is housed.
  • Each side wall (6,7) is provided with a groove (11) intended to accommodate the lower peripheral edge (12a) of the cutout (2) (see FIG. 5) on either side of the notches (4) or (4 ').
  • These grooves (11) actually create two front legs (14, 15) in the respective extension of the walls (6, 7).
  • These are also provided with holes through (33) coaxial.
  • FIG 4 shows in more detail the blade (10), a flat part inscribed in a diamond.
  • This part comprises in the lower part a double notch (16, 17) surrounding a tab (18) whose dimensions make it possible to define the spacing between two successive panels, and whose end (18a) is rounded to facilitate installation.
  • blade in the locked position.
  • the notch (17) is placed in the notch (4) (see Figure 5) to block the panels (A 1 , A 2 , ..., A n ).
  • the design of this piece includes in particular functional edges (19, 20), substantially parallel, and a edge (21) adjoining the edge (20). The surfaces of the latter are provided to cooperate with the internal surface of the transverse wall (8) of the base (9), to limit the angular displacement of the blade.
  • the blade (10) is also provided with a through hole (22), designed to be positioned coaxially to the orifices (23) of the side walls of the base (9) in operating phase (see Figure 3). Once aligned, these holes allow the insertion of an elastic pin which in fact constitutes the rotation shaft allowing the pivoting of the blade (10) in the base (9).
  • Figure 5 specifies the shape of a cutout (3) according to the invention.
  • She presents a rectangular shape, the width of which corresponds substantially to that of the base (9), and is further provided with two central notches (4, 4 ') of depth p formed in its lower peripheral borders (12a) and upper (12b). These notches are arranged in a double symmetry by relation to the vertical median (32) and horizontal median (33) axes of the cutout (3), aiming as mentioned before at a reversible positioning of siding in horizontal rails or rails (not shown) without worry about their direction of use, because their positioning along the edge (2) allows this reversibility.
  • Figure 6 shows the unlocked (broken line) / locked positioning (solid line) of the clip between two adjacent panels of which only the edges lateral (2, 2 ') have been shown for reasons of clarity.
  • the base (9) overlaps the lower peripheral edge (12a) of the cutout (3) (as illustrated in FIG. 5) of the side edge (2), which then becomes housed in the grooves (11) for fixing the clip there, on either side of the notch (4, 4 ').
  • the edge (20) is in abutment on the internal surface (28) of the wall (8), thus limiting the stroke of the blade (10) towards the rear of the base (9), and making it always accessible via the gap (34).
  • the blade (10) then leaves the passage to the edge (2 ') of the panel mounted second.
  • the blade (10) tilts from this position in the gap (34), by pressing down on the free end (10a) with a flat tool.
  • FIG. 7 makes it possible to view a partitioning in accordance with the invention with a reduced number of panels (A 3 , A 4 , ..., A n ) which is not significant of the actual number of panels which can theoretically compose it.
  • the partial representation of the panel (A 4 ) illustrates in particular the fact that it can have different lengths. It is conventionally made up of two facings (1) provided with lateral edges (2) interconnected by means of the connecting profiles (P). Arrows F 'and F "in the opposite direction express the possible double mounting direction of the panel (A 4 ).
  • the gap (34) existing between two consecutive panels (for example A 3 and A 4 ) is filled in a known manner by seals (35) restoring the flatness of the wall .
  • FIG. 8 illustrates an end upright (24) comprising two flanges (25, 26) coming opposite the lateral vertical edges (2) of the panel (A 5 ) on which it is fixed by means of staples (5).
  • These two flanges (25, 26) of course also include cutouts to allow the positioning of said staples (5).
  • FIG 9 there is shown a corner profile (27) provided with two vertical side edges (29, 30) having the same cutouts as those described above to perform the same functions and thus ensure the external junction of the panels (A 6 ) and (A 7 ).
  • the internal junction is then made using a simple L-shaped profile (31) which comes fix with screws on the edges (2) of the nearest facings (1).
