Description

La présente invention concerne le domaine de l'ameublement et plus particulièrement des meubles composés d'éléments démontables à assemblage et démontage rapides, en particulier les meubles du type comportant des tablettes en verre et a pour objet un dispositif de maintien et de fixation pour tablette, en particulier en verre, sur un meuble.The present invention relates to the field of furniture and more particularly to furniture consisting of removable elements with rapid assembly and disassembly, in particular furniture of the type comprising glass shelves, and relates to a holding and fixing device for a tablet. , in particular glass, on a piece of furniture.

Actuellement, les meubles de ce type comportant des tablettes, en particulier en verre sont généralement réalisés sous forme d'infrastructures métalliques ou en bois ou autres matériaux composites sur lesquelles sont guidées et maintenues une ou plusieurs tablettes en verre.Currently, furniture of this type with shelves, especially glass are generally made in the form of metal or wooden infrastructure or other composite materials on which are guided and maintained one or more glass shelves.

Les tablettes en verre sont simplement fixées par pincement à l'intérieur de pièces en forme de taquets fixées sur l'infrastructure, la rigidité de l'infrastructure devant assurer entièrement la rigidité du meuble en position assemblée.The glass shelves are simply fixed by pinching inside pieces in the form of cleats fixed on the infrastructure, the rigidity of the infrastructure to fully ensure the rigidity of the furniture in the assembled position.

En effet, dans le cas d'une réalisation d'un meuble présentant plusieurs tablettes parallèles, l'une des tablettes est généralement posée directement sur des éléments de jonction des pieds de l'infrastructure ou dans des taquets de supports, sans serrage, et au moins l'une des tablettes est pincée dans des taquets de support et de maintien solidarisés avec l'infrastructure au niveau des pieds de celle-ci. Il en résulte que la tablette ainsi pincée doit participer à la rigidité de l'ensemble.Indeed, in the case of a realization of a piece of furniture having several parallel shelves, one of the shelves is usually placed directly on the junction elements of the infrastructure feet or in cleats media, without clamping, and at least one of the tablets is pinched in support and holding tabs secured to the infrastructure at the feet of the latter. As a result, the tablet thus pinched must participate in the rigidity of the whole.

US-A-4 733 843 décrit une telle fixation par pincement d'une tablette. Une telle fixation ne permet pas de faire usage de la rigidité et de la dureté de la tablette pour assurer une résistance suffisante pour éviter un démontage sous l'effet de contraintes de traction importantes. US-A-4,733,843 describes such a fixing by pinching a tablet. Such a fixation does not make it possible to make use of the rigidity and the hardness of the tablet to ensure a sufficient resistance to avoid disassembly under the effect of large tensile stresses.

Par ailleurs, GB-A-808 621 décrit la réalisation de meubles constitués par des tablettes reliées entre elles par l'intermédiaire d'entretoises assurant simultanément l'écartement des tablettes. Une telle construction, qui est largement répandue, ne permet toutefois pas l'obtention de meubles présentant une esthétique épurée, c'est-à-dire dont les éléments formant les pieds s'intègrent de manière esthétique.Otherwise, GB-A-808 621 describes the production of furniture consisting of shelves interconnected by means of spacers simultaneously ensuring the spacing of the shelves. Such a construction, which is widespread, however, does not allow to obtain furniture with a clean aesthetic, that is to say, the elements forming the feet integrate aesthetically.

Enfin, EP-A-0 407 292 décrit un meuble constitué par des tablettes ou étagères glissées par leurs bords dans des rainures de logement de parois verticales. Dans un tel meuble, les tablettes ou étagères ne participent en aucune manière à la rigidité du meuble.Finally, EP-A-0 407 292 describes a piece of furniture constituted by shelves or shelves slid by their edges in vertical wall housing grooves. In such furniture, shelves or shelves do not participate in any way to the rigidity of the furniture.

Or, comme de tels meubles sont souvent destinés à former un support pour un appareillage audio-visuel de poids relativement élevé, il se pose un problème de rigidité de l'ensemble du meuble, en particulier lors d'un déplacement de ce meuble avec sa charge par rippage sur le sol. Un tel déplacement a tendance à favoriser, par traction sur un ou plusieurs pieds, un désassemblage de l'infrastructure par écartement mutuel desdits pieds, la tablette pincée ne permettant pas d'assurer un maintien correct de l'assemblage par retenue de la tablette au moyen des taquets de pincement.However, as such furniture is often intended to form a support for audio-visual equipment of relatively high weight, there is a problem of rigidity of the entire piece of furniture, especially when moving this piece of furniture with its load by ripping on the ground. Such displacement tends to favor, by pulling on one or more feet, a disassembly of the infrastructure by mutual spacing of said feet, the pinched tablet does not ensure proper maintenance of the assembly by retaining the tablet at means of pinch cleats.

Il en résulte une destruction possible du meuble par décrochement d'une tablette qui tombe alors à l'intérieur de l'infrastructure avec un risque, d'une part de destruction de cette dernière et, d'autre part, d'endommagement de l'appareillage porté par le meuble.This results in a possible destruction of the furniture by detachment of a tablet which then falls inside the infrastructure with a risk, on the one hand of destruction of the latter and, on the other hand, damage to the equipment carried by the furniture.

Une rigidification supplémentaire du meuble reste bien évidemment possible, notamment par création de lien rigide près de chaque tablette constitutive du meuble. Cependant, une telle rigidification n'est pas compatible avec la réalisation de meubles de ce type qui doivent généralement présenter une esthétique épurée.Additional stiffening of the furniture is obviously possible, in particular by creating rigid link near each shelf component of the furniture. However, such a stiffening is not compatible with the realization of furniture of this type which must generally have a refined aesthetic.

La présente invention a pour but de pallier ces inconvénients en proposant un dispositif de maintien et de fixation pour tablette, en particulier en verre, sur un meuble, permettant un maintien parfait de ladite tablette tout en assurant la rigidité du meuble.The present invention aims to overcome these disadvantages by providing a holding device and fixing tablet, particularly glass, on a piece of furniture, allowing a perfect hold of said tablet while ensuring the rigidity of the furniture.

A cet effet, le dispositif de maintien et de fixation pour tablette, qui est essentiellement constitué sous forme d'un taquet de maintien pouvant être fixé sur une infrastructure de support, est caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte une vis de serrage et de maintien coopérant avec un évidement correspondant de la tablette à maintenir et à fixer, pour améliorer la rigidité de l'assemblage entre ladite tablette et l'infrastructure de support.For this purpose, the tablet holding and fixing device, which is essentially constituted in the form of a holding tab that can be fixed on a support infrastructure, is characterized in that it comprises a clamping and holding screw. cooperating with a corresponding recess of the tablet to maintain and fix, to improve the rigidity of the assembly between said tablet and the support infrastructure.

L'invention sera mieux comprise, grâce à la description ci-après, qui se rapporte à un mode de réalisation préféré, donné à titre d'exemple non limitatif, et expliqué avec référence au dessin schématique annexé, dont la figure unique est une vue partielle en perspective représentant le dispositif conforme à l'invention.The invention will be better understood, thanks to the following description, which relates to a preferred embodiment, given by way of non-limiting example, and explained with reference to the attached schematic drawing, the single figure of which is a view partial perspective representing the device according to the invention.

La figure unique du dessin annexé représente un élément d'ameublement qui est essentiellement constitué par une infrastructure 1 et par au moins une tablette 2 en verre ou analogue, cette tablette 2 étant solidarisée avec l'infrastructure 1 par l'intermédiaire de dispositifs de maintien et de fixation 3, essentiellement constitué chacun sous forme d'un taquet de maintien, à section en étrier. Ces taquets de maintien 3 sont solidarisés avec l'infrastructure 1 par l'intermédiaire de vis de fixation 4 traversant leur âme. Dans le mode de réalisation représenté, l'infrastructure 1 est simplement constituée par quatre pieds d'une table, la tablette en verre 2, ou analogue, formant le dessus de ladite table.The single figure of the appended drawing represents an element of furniture which is essentially constituted by an infrastructure 1 and by at least one glass shelf 2 or the like, this shelf 2 being secured to the infrastructure 1 by means of holding devices and fixing 3, essentially each constituted in the form of a retaining cleat, with stirrup section. These holding cleats 3 are secured to the infrastructure 1 by means of fixing screws 4 passing through their core. In the embodiment shown, the infrastructure 1 is simply constituted by four legs of a table, the glass shelf 2, or the like, forming the top of said table.

Dans le dessin annexé, et afin de faciliter la compréhension, seul un poteau d'infrastructure est muni d'un dispositif 3, l'autre poteau d'infrastructure étant simplement disposé en face de la tablette 2 en verre ou analogue.In the accompanying drawing, and to facilitate understanding, only one infrastructure post is provided with a device 3, the other infrastructure post being simply arranged in front of the glass shelf 2 or the like.

Conformément à l'invention, chaque dispositif 3 de maintien et de fixation pour tablette 2 comporte une vis de serrage et de maintien 5 montée dans une aile du taquet formant le dispositif 3 et coopérant avec un évidement correspondant 6 de la tablette 2 à maintenir et à fixer, pour améliorer la rigidité de l'assemblage entre ladite tablette 2 et l'infrastructure de support 1.According to the invention, each device 3 for holding and fixing for tablet 2 comprises a clamping and holding screw 5 mounted in a wing of the cleat forming the device 3 and cooperating with a corresponding recess 6 of the shelf 2 to be maintained and to fix, to improve the rigidity of the assembly between said tablet 2 and the support infrastructure 1.

L'évidement 6 prévu sur la tablette 2 au niveau de chaque taquet formant les dispositifs 3 est avantageusement situé à faible distance du bord de ladite tablette 2. La prévision de l'évidement 6 coopérant avec l'extrémité correspondante de la vis 5 permet de réaliser un engagement de la tête de vis 5 dans la matière même constituant la tablette 2, de sorte que lors du serrage de la vis 5, celle-ci pénètre dans l'évidement 6 et forme simultanément un accrochage empêchant un déplacement de la tablette 2 relativement à l'infrastructure 1 et aux dispositifs 3. Cet engagement favorise donc également une amélioration de la tenue de l'assemblage en évitant un écartement des pieds au niveau de la tablette 2, de sorte que cette dernière ne peut pas glisser hors des taquets 3.The recess 6 provided on the shelf 2 at each cleat forming the devices 3 is advantageously located at a short distance from the edge of said shelf 2. The provision of the recess 6 co-operating with the corresponding end of the screw 5 makes it possible to making a commitment of the screw head 5 in the material constituting the tablet 2, so that when tightening the screw 5, it enters the recess 6 and simultaneously forms a hooking preventing movement of the tablet 2 in relation to infrastructure 1 and devices 3. This commitment also promotes an improvement in the strength of the assembly by avoiding a separation of the feet at the tablet 2, so that the latter can not slip off the cleats 3.

L'évidement 6 peut être réalisé sous forme d'un simple trou borgne. Selon un mode de réalisation préférentiel, l'évidement 6 se présente sous forme d'un trou borgne muni d'un téton central 8 destiné à coopérer avec un évidement central 9 de section correspondante de la tête de la vis 5 des taquets 3. Une telle prévision d'un trou borgne 6 avec téton central 8 permet d'augmenter considérablement la résistance à l'arrachement du dispositif.The recess 6 can be made in the form of a single blind hole. According to a preferred embodiment, the recess 6 is in the form of a blind hole provided with a central stud 8 intended to cooperate with a central recess 9 of corresponding section of the head of the screw 5 of the cleats 3. such a prediction of a blind hole 6 with central stud 8 makes it possible to considerably increase the resistance to pulling out of the device.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, l'évidement 6 peut également être réalisé sous forme d'un perçage débouchant coopérant avec l'extrémité de la vis 5 qui s'appuie alors, en position de serrage contre l'aile opposée du taquet de maintien formant le moyen 3.According to another characteristic of the invention, the recess 6 can also be made in the form of a through hole cooperating with the end of the screw 5 which then rests, in the clamping position against the opposite wing of the cleat. holding means forming the means 3.

Chaque taquet de maintien formant le moyen 3 est avantageusement pourvu, sur son aile opposée à celle pourvue de la vis de maintien et de serrage 5 d'une butée d'appui 7 en matière synthétique. Une telle butée d'appui 7 permet, soit d'absorber partiellement la force de serrage de la tablette 2, soit de former un élément d'appui élastique dans le cas d'utilisation d'une vis de serrage 5 traversant un évidement 6.Each holding tab forming the means 3 is advantageously provided, on its flange opposite to that provided with the screw for holding and clamping 5 a bearing abutment 7 of synthetic material. Such a bearing abutment 7 makes it possible either to partially absorb the clamping force of the tablet 2 or to form an elastic support element in the case of use of a clamping screw 5 passing through a recess 6.

La vis de serrage 5 est préférentiellement réalisée en matière synthétique. La prévision de matière synthétique pour la réalisation de la vis 5 permet de garantir que la force de serrage de la tablette 2 sera toujours inférieure à la force maximale admissible pour éviter toute détérioration de la tablette 2 au niveau de l'évidement 6.The clamping screw 5 is preferably made of synthetic material. The prediction of synthetic material for the realization of the screw 5 ensures that the clamping force of the tablet 2 will always be less than the maximum allowable force to prevent damage to the tablet 2 at the recess 6.

Ainsi, il est possible, d'une part, de positionner parfaitement une tablette en verre 2 sur une infrastructure 1 d'un meuble et de réaliser une fixation et un maintien suffisamment solides pour éviter tout désassemblage du meuble ainsi réalisé.Thus, it is possible, on the one hand, to perfectly position a glass shelf 2 on an infrastructure 1 of a piece of furniture and to make a fixing and holding sufficiently strong to avoid disassembly of the piece of furniture thus produced.

En outre, la coopération de forme entre la vis 5 de chaque dispositif et l'évidement correspondant 6 de la tablette 2 induit la prise en compte de force agissant latéralement sur la vis 5, en soumettant celle-ci à un effort de cisaillement, de sorte qu'une force de serrage et de maintien bien plus importante qu'une force de pincement peut être obtenue. En effet, la force de pincement est uniquement tributaire du coefficient de frottement entre l'extrémité de la vis et la surface de la tablette 2, alors qu'une force de cisaillement prend en considération la section de la vis au droit de l'application de la force.In addition, the shape cooperation between the screw 5 of each device and the corresponding recess 6 of the tablet 2 induces the taking into account of force acting laterally on the screw 5, subjecting it to a shear force, so that a clamping and holding force much greater than a pinching force can be obtained. Indeed, the pinch force is solely dependent on the coefficient of friction between the end of the screw and the surface of the tablet 2, while a shear force takes into account the section of the screw to the right of the application of the force.

Grâce à l'invention, il est donc possible de réaliser un dispositif de fixation pour tablette, en particulier en verre, sur un meuble de support constitué d'éléments à assemblage simple, permettant l'obtention d'une excellente rigidité du meuble et garantissant celui-ci contre tout risque de désassemblage accidentel.Thanks to the invention, it is therefore possible to produce a fixing device for a tablet, in particular glass, on a support unit consisting of elements with simple assembly, to obtain excellent rigidity of the furniture and guaranteeing this one against any risk of accidental disassembly.
