Description

La présente invention a pour objet un dispositif permettant d'associer des barrières.The present invention relates to a device for associating barriers.

La solution la plus répandue pour associer des barrières consiste à les attacher au moyen d'un fil de fer, ce qui n'est pas entièrement satisfaisant car d'une part le fil de fer est susceptible de s'oxyder et de casser et d'autre part sa mise en place n'est pas toujours très aisée.The most common solution for associating barriers is to attach them by means of a wire, which is not entirely satisfactory because on the one hand the wire is likely to oxidize and break and on the other hand its implementation is not always very easy.

Il existe par ailleurs des colliers doubles mais ces derniers sont prévus pour assembler des barrières avec un entraxe prédéfini entre deux barrières, par exemple de 9 cm. Or, dans la pratique, les montants des barrières à assembler sont rarement parallèles ou avec un entraxe constant, car le sol n'est pratiquement jamais parfaitement plat. Les montants présentent par conséquent souvent un écartement variable, aussi bien dans le plan des barrières que dans une direction perpendiculaire à celui-ci, ce qui rend les colliers existants inadaptés.There are also double collars but these are designed to assembling barriers with a predefined spacing between two barriers, for example 9 cm. However, in practice, the amounts of the barriers to be assembled are rarely parallel or with a constant center distance, because the floor is almost never perfectly flat. The amounts therefore often have a variable spacing, both in the plane barriers only in a direction perpendicular to it, making the collars existing unsuitable.

La demande de brevet FR-A-2 704 879 décrit un dispositif destiné à éviter l'utilisation d'un fil de fer. Toutefois, ce dispositif est relativement complexe à mettre en oeuvre.Patent application FR-A-2 704 879 describes a device intended to avoid the use of a wire. However, this device is relatively complex to implement. artwork.

US 5 402 988 décrit un dispositif permettant d'associer des barrières, comportant un premier raccord fixé à demeure sur l'une des barrières et un deuxième raccord également fixé à demeure sur l'autre barrière. Les premier et deuxième raccords peuvent s'assembler. Dans un tel dispositif, la présence des premier et deuxième raccords complique la fabrication des barrières.US 5,402,988 describes a device making it possible to associate barriers, comprising a first fitting permanently fixed to one of the barriers and a second fitting also permanently attached to the other barrier. The first and second fittings can assemble. In such a device, the presence of the first and second fittings complicates the manufacture of barriers.

Il existe un besoin pour bénéficier d'un dispositif permettant notamment de remédier à cet inconvénient.There is a need to benefit from a device making it possible in particular to remedy this drawback.

L'invention vise à proposer un nouveau moyen permettant d'associer des barrières, notamment des barrières susceptibles de présenter des différences d'alignement, de verticalité et d'écartement, en raison par exemple de la topographie ou de la nature du sol sur lequel elles sont posées.The invention aims to propose a new means for associating barriers, in particular barriers liable to present differences in alignment, verticality and spacing, for example due to the topography or the nature of the floor on which they are placed.

L'invention a ainsi pour objet un dispositif permettant d'associer des barrières comportant des montants tubulaires, ce dispositif pouvant se caractériser par le fait qu'il comporte :

  • deux pinces agencées pour s'encliqueter chacune sur un montant respectif,
  • une articulation reliant les pinces.
The subject of the invention is therefore a device making it possible to associate barriers comprising tubular uprights, this device being able to be characterized by the fact that it comprises:
  • two clips arranged to snap each on a respective amount,
  • an articulation connecting the clamps.

Le terme « articulation » doit être compris avec un sens large.The term "articulation" should be understood in a broad sense.

De préférence, l'articulation est agencée de manière à autoriser un débattement autour d'au moins deux axes géométriques perpendiculaires entre eux, ce qui permet de relier des barrières présentant des différences d'alignement, de verticalité ou d'écartement.Preferably, the articulation is arranged so as to allow a movement around at least two geometric axes perpendicular to each other, which allows connect barriers with differences in alignment, verticality or spacing.

De préférence, les pinces sont réalisées en matière plastique.Preferably, the clamps are made of plastic.

L'articulation peut comporter deux pattes pourvues chacune d'une ouverture, ces deux pattes étant solidaires de l'une des pinces. L'autre pince peut comporter un axe engagé à ses extrémités dans lesdites ouvertures. Cet axe peut être relié par un bras à la pince et l'écartement entre les pattes précitées peut être supérieur à l'épaisseur de ce bras.The articulation can comprise two legs each provided with an opening, these two legs being integral with one of the clamps. The other clamp may have an axis engaged at its ends in said openings. This axis can be connected by an arm to the clamp and the spacing between the aforementioned legs may be greater than the thickness of this arm.

Les ouvertures présentent avantageusement une forme oblongue, chaque ouverture pouvant notamment être au moins deux fois plus longue que large.The openings advantageously have an oblong shape, each opening can in particular be at least twice as long as wide.

Les pinces peuvent être agencées pour s'encliqueter chacune sur un tube de diamètre extérieur égal à 40 mm, par exemple.The clamps can be arranged to snap each on a tube of external diameter equal to 40 mm, for example.

L'une des pinces au moins peut comporter une surface d'appui agencée pour recevoir les coups d'un marteau utilisé lors de sa mise en place. Cette surface d'appui peut être réalisée sur le dos ou sur un côté de la pince.At least one of the clamps may have a bearing surface arranged to receive the blows of a hammer used during its installation. This bearing surface can be carried out on the back or on one side of the pliers.

L'une des pinces au moins peut encore comporter un évidement permettant d'y engager une lame, par exemple celle d'un tournevis, de façon à faciliter l'enlèvement de la pince.At least one of the pliers may also have a recess allowing it to be engage a blade, such as that of a screwdriver, to facilitate removal of the clamp.

La même pince peut comporter à la fois la surface d'appui précitée et l'évidement.The same clamp may include both the abovementioned bearing surface and the recess.

Les deux pinces peuvent être identiques.The two clamps can be identical.

L'invention pourra être mieux comprise à la lecture de la description détaillée qui va suivre, d'un exemple de mise en oeuvre non limitatif de celle-ci, et à l'examen du dessin annexé, sur lequel :

  • la figure 1 est une vue schématique en élévation, avec coupe partielle, d'un dispositif réalisé conformément à l'invention,
  • la figure 2 est une vue de dessus du dispositif de la figure 1,
  • les figures 3 à 5 illustrent différentes possibilités de débattement de l'articulation, et
  • les figures 6 et 7 représentent un autre exemple d'articulation.
The invention will be better understood on reading the detailed description which follows, of an example of non-limiting implementation thereof, and on examining the appended drawing, in which:
  • FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic elevation view, with partial section, of a device produced in accordance with the invention,
  • FIG. 2 is a top view of the device of FIG. 1,
  • FIGS. 3 to 5 illustrate different possibilities of movement of the joint, and
  • Figures 6 and 7 show another example of articulation.

Le dispositif 1 représenté à la figure 1 est destiné à assembler deux barrières dont seuls des montants tubulaires verticaux M1 et M2, de section circulaire et d'un diamètre extérieur de 40 mm, ont été représentés.The device 1 shown in FIG. 1 is intended to assemble two barriers of which only vertical tubular uprights M 1 and M 2 , of circular section and with an outside diameter of 40 mm, have been shown.

Le dispositif 1 comporte deux pinces 2, 3 agencées pour s'encliqueter de manière amovible respectivement sur les montants M1 et M2 et une articulation 5 reliant les pinces 2 et 3.The device 1 comprises two clamps 2, 3 arranged to snap in detachably respectively on the uprights M 1 and M 2 and an articulation 5 connecting the clamps 2 and 3.

Cette articulation 5 comporte, dans l'exemple illustré, d'une part deux pattes 6 et 7 solidaires de la pince 2, pourvues d'ouvertures respectives 8 et 9, et d'autre part un axe 10 dont les portions d'extrémité 11 et 12 sont respectivement engagées dans les ouvertures 8 et 9. Les pattes 6 et 7 sont réalisées d'un seul tenant par moulage avec la pince 2.This articulation 5 comprises, in the example illustrated, on the one hand two legs 6 and 7 integral with the clamp 2, provided with respective openings 8 and 9, and on the other hand an axis 10 whose end portions 11 and 12 are respectively engaged in the openings 8 and 9. The legs 6 and 7 are made in one piece by molding with the clamp 2.

L'axe 10 est solidaire d'un bras 14 qui est réalisé d'un seul tenant par moulage avec la pince 3. Tous les éléments du dispositif sont moulés ensemble, de sorte que l'axe 10 est déjà engagé entre les pattes 8 et 9 à la sortie du moule.The axis 10 is integral with an arm 14 which is made in one piece by molding with the clamp 3. All the elements of the device are molded together, so that the axis 10 is already engaged between the legs 8 and 9 at the outlet of the mold.

Le dispositif 1 est réalisé dans une matière plastique telle que par exemple du PVC, du PEHD ou du PET, cette liste n'étant pas limitative.The device 1 is made of a plastic material such as for example PVC, HDPE or PET, this list is not exhaustive.

Les ouvertures 8 et 9 présentent, comme on le voit sur la figure 2, une forme oblongue, étant sensiblement légèrement deux fois plus longues que larges, la largeur de chaque ouverture 8 ou 9 étant légèrement supérieure au diamètre des portions d'extrémité 11 et 12 de l'axe 10, le jeu étant par exemple d'un millimètre environ.The openings 8 and 9 have, as seen in Figure 2, a shape oblong, being slightly slightly twice as long as wide, the width of each opening 8 or 9 being slightly greater than the diameter of the end portions 11 and 12 of the axis 10, the clearance being for example about a millimeter.

L'écartement entre les pattes 6 et 7 est supérieur à l'épaisseur du bras 14, de sorte que l'articulation 5 permet un débattement autour de deux axes de rotation perpendiculaires entre eux, à savoir autour d'un axe vertical X et un axe horizontal perpendiculaire à l'axe longitudinal Y du bras 14.The spacing between the legs 6 and 7 is greater than the thickness of the arm 14, by so that the articulation 5 allows a movement around two axes of rotation perpendicular to each other, namely around a vertical axis X and a horizontal axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis Y of the arm 14.

Pour utiliser le dispositif 1, les pinces 2 et 3 sont fixées sur les montants M1 et M2.To use the device 1, the clamps 2 and 3 are fixed to the uprights M 1 and M 2 .

On peut voir sur la figure 2 que la pince 3 est réalisée avec des bossages 16 et 17 offrant du côté du dos 18 de la pince des surfaces d'appui 19 et 20 permettant, le cas échéant, d'utiliser un marteau pour aider à engager la pince 3 sur le montant M2.We can see in Figure 2 that the clamp 3 is made with bosses 16 and 17 offering on the back side 18 of the clamp bearing surfaces 19 and 20 allowing, if necessary, to use a hammer to help engage the clamp 3 on the M 2 upright.

Dans l'exemple considéré, la pince 3 comporte en outre un évidement 21 sur chacune de ses branches, du côté de son ouverture, pour permettre d'y engager un tournevis afin de faciliter l'enlèvement de la pince 3, l'autre pince 2 pouvant rester à demeure sur le montant M1. In the example considered, the clamp 3 further comprises a recess 21 on each of its branches, on the side of its opening, to allow a screwdriver to be engaged therein in order to facilitate the removal of the clamp 3, the other clamp 2 can remain permanently on the amount M 1 .

On voit sur la figure 3 que l'articulation 5 autorise la fixation du dispositif 1 sur des montants M1 et M2 dont les axes sont non parallèles et forment un angle α.It can be seen in FIG. 3 that the articulation 5 authorizes the fixing of the device 1 on uprights M 1 and M 2 whose axes are non-parallel and form an angle α.

L'articulation 5 autorise également un rapprochement ou un éloignement des montants M1 et M2, comme illustré sur les figures 4 et 5. Dans l'exemple considéré, l'entraxe maximum autorisé entre les montants M1 et M2 par le dispositif 1 est de 140 mm environ.The articulation 5 also authorizes a reconciliation or a distancing of the uprights M 1 and M 2 , as illustrated in FIGS. 4 and 5. In the example considered, the maximum distance between the uprights M 1 and M 2 authorized by the device 1 is approximately 140 mm.

Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée à l'exemple de réalisation qui vient d'être décrit. On peut notamment apporter des modifications à la réalisation de l'articulation et des pinces, l'articulation pouvant comporter par exemple une rotule ou un axe ayant une tête, par exemple non sphérique, encliquetée avec jeu dans un logement.Of course, the invention is not limited to the embodiment which comes to be described. We can in particular make modifications to the realization of the joint and clamps, the joint possibly comprising for example a ball joint or a axis having a head, for example non-spherical, snapped with play in a housing.

L'articulation peut encore comporter un ou plusieurs tronçons de câbles ou de chaínes, les pinces 2 et 3 pouvant être surmoulées sur les extrémités du ou des tronçons de câbles ou de chaínes.The articulation may also include one or more sections of cables or chains, the clamps 2 and 3 can be overmolded on the ends of the section or sections of cables or chains.

A titre d'exemple, on a représenté aux figures 6 et 7 une variante de réalisation dans laquelle l'articulation comporte des tronçons de câbles en inox 22 sur les extrémités desquels sont surmoulées les pinces 2 et 3.By way of example, there is shown in Figures 6 and 7 an alternative embodiment in which the joint includes sections of stainless steel cables 22 on the ends from which the clamps 2 and 3 are molded.

Une telle articulation souple permet de s'adapter à toutes variations d'alignement, dans les trois dimensions.Such a flexible joint makes it possible to adapt to all variations alignment, in three dimensions.

Les pinces peuvent comporter des extrémités reliées entre elles par des moyens de fixation, tels que des boulons pour assurer un verrouillage des pinces sur les montants correspondants.The clamps may have ends connected together by means fasteners, such as bolts to secure the clamps on the uprights correspondents.

Dans toute la description, l'expression « comportant un » doit être comprise comme étant synonyme de « comportant au moins un », sauf si le contraire est spécifié.Throughout the description, the expression "comprising a" must be understood as being synonymous with "comprising at least one", unless otherwise specified.
