Description
La présente invention concerne un parement de pierres artificielles constitué de dalles élémentaires de façade et d'angle ainsi que les dalles pour la réalisation du parement.The present invention relates to a siding of artificial stones consisting of elementary slabs of facade and angle as well as the slabs for the realization of the facing.
Un parement du type précité dans lequel chaque dalle est conformée pour présenter l'apparence d'un assemblage de plusieurs pierres séparées par des lignes de joint est notamment connu par le brevet FR-A-1.366.104 qui décrit des éléments modulaires moulés dont la face de parement présente une pluralité de parties rectangulaires en relief ayant l'apparence de pierres à bâtir véritables séparées par des gorges ayant l'aspect de joints de parement, les bords verticaux de ces éléments présentant respectivement une forme saillante et une forme rentrante complémentaire permettant un emboîtement desdits éléments dans une direction horizontale.A facing of the aforementioned type in which each slab is shaped to present the appearance of an assembly of several stones separated by joint lines is known in particular from the patent FR-A-1,366,104 which describes molded modular elements whose facing face has a plurality of rectangular portions in relief having the appearance of real building stones separated by grooves having the appearance of facing seams, the vertical edges of these elements respectively having a projecting shape and a complementary re-entrant form allowing interlocking said elements in a horizontal direction.
Il est également connu à travers le brevet EP-A-0.814.218 d'assembler des éléments modulaires autobloquants, chaque élément modulaire comprenant un corps principal correspondant à une maille quadrangulaire et présentant latéralement d'une part une partie saillante ou excroissance sur deux de ses côtés perpendiculaires et d'autre part une échancrure dans ses deux autres côtés perpendiculaires. Une telle solution permet un assemblage d'éléments au moyen d'un seul type d'élément modulaire. Toutefois, cette solution présente l'inconvénient de disposer d'un élément modulaire possédant un grand nombre d'excroissances qui rendent l'élément modulaire fragile, en particulier lors de son stockage ou lors de sa pose. Par ailleurs, la multiplicité de ces excroissances, nécessaires à l'assemblage par emboîtement, rend l'élément modulaire encombrant de telle sorte que le stockage et le conditionnement sont particulièrement onéreux. Enfin, le fait de disposer d'un seul type d'élément modulaire assemblable à un même type d'élément modulaire génère une régularité de l'assemblage qui engendre la formation de configurations régulières qui sont susceptibles de laisser transparaître le caractère factice du parement.It is also known through patent EP-A-0.814.218 to assemble self-locking modular elements, each modular element comprising a main body corresponding to a quadrangular mesh and having laterally on the one hand a protruding part or protrusion on two of its perpendicular sides and on the other hand a notch in its other two perpendicular sides. Such a solution allows an assembly of elements by means of a single type of modular element. However, this solution has the disadvantage of having a modular element having a large number of excrescences that make the modular element fragile, especially during storage or during installation. Moreover, the multiplicity of these excrescences, necessary for the assembly by interlocking, makes the modular element bulky so that storage and packaging are particularly expensive. Finally, the fact of having a single type of modular element assembled to the same type of modular element generates a regularity of the assembly which generates the formation of regular configurations that are likely to reveal the factitious character of the facing.
Enfin, il est connu à travers les documents US-A-2.130.911 et GB-A-0.718.778 des dalles au contour particulièrement complexe.Finally, it is known from documents US-A-2 130 911 and GB-A-0.718.778 slabs particularly complex contour.
Un but de la présente invention est de proposer un parement d'un nouveau type, ce parement présentant les mêmes avantages de pose que ceux décrits dans l'état de la technique tout en présentant un encombrement au stockage et au conditionnement limité et une possibilité d'assembler lesdits éléments du parement sans laisser transparaître le caractère factice de ce dernier.An object of the present invention is to provide a siding of a new type, this facing having the same laying advantages as those described in the state of the art while having a storage space and limited packaging and a possibility of assembling said elements of the facing without revealing the factitious nature of the latter.
A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un parement de pierres artificielles constitué de dalles élémentaires de façade et d'angle, chaque dalle étant conformée pour présenter l'apparence d'un assemblage de plusieurs pierres séparées par des lignes de joint, les dalles de façade étant de forme générale sensiblement rectangulaire, et présentant sur leurs côtés opposés transversaux respectivement un profil mâle et un profil femelle, alignés pour assurer l'assemblage des dalles, caractérisé en ce que :
- quatre dalles élémentaires différenciées forment un module de pose assemblable par juxtaposition où superposition à un module de pose similaire,
- ledit module étant formé d'un premier rang de deux dalles et d'un deuxième rang de deux dalles décalées par rapport à celles du premier rang,
- le premier rang étant constitué d'une première dalle dont le bord longitudinal supérieur, en position d'utilisation, est à une première distance des profils mâle et femelle de la première dalle, et d'une deuxième dalle dont le bord longitudinal supérieur, en position d'utilisation, est à une deuxième distance des profils mâle et femelle de la deuxième dalle différente de la première distance de sorte que le bord longitudinal supérieur du premier rang est constitué desdits bords longitudinaux des première et deuxième dalles des dalles et forme une ligne brisée avec un pas variable qui correspond respectivement à la longueur du bord longitudinal supérieur de la première dalle et à la longueur du bord longitudinal supérieur de la deuxième dalle,
- le deuxième rang étant constitué d'une troisième dalle et d'une quatrième dalle, chacune présentant des encochages d'angle diagonalement opposés sur ses bords longitudinaux inférieur et supérieur, en position d'utilisation, de sorte que le bord longitudinal inférieur du deuxième rang est conformé au bord longitudinal supérieur du premier rang.
- four differentiated elementary slabs form a juxtaposition-assemblable laying module where superposition to a similar laying module,
- said module being formed of a first row of two slabs and a second row of two slabs offset from those of the first row,
- the first row consisting of a first slab whose upper longitudinal edge, in the use position, is at a first distance from the male and female profiles of the first slab, and a second slab whose upper longitudinal edge, in position of use, is at a second distance from the male and female profiles of the second slab different from the first distance so that the upper longitudinal edge of the first row consists of said longitudinal edges of the first and second slabs of the slabs and forms a line broken with a variable pitch corresponding respectively to the length of the upper longitudinal edge of the first slab and to the length of the upper longitudinal edge of the second slab,
- the second row consisting of a third slab and a fourth slab, each having diagonally opposite angle notches on its lower and upper longitudinal edges, in the use position, so that the lower longitudinal edge of the second row is consistent with the edge longitudinal superior of the first row.
Grâce à cette conception du parement sous forme d'un assemblage de modules, chaque module étant lui-même constitué de quatre dalles, il en résulte une pose aisée dudit parement, un encombrement réduit de chaque dalle élémentaire et une suppression d'un aspect factice du parement réalisé.Thanks to this design of the cladding in the form of an assembly of modules, each module being itself constituted by four slabs, it results in an easy installation of said facing, a reduced bulk of each elementary slab and a suppression of a dummy appearance the facing made.
Selon une forme de réalisation préférée de l'invention, les encochages d'angle de la troisième dalle et de la quatrième dalle du deuxième rang forment à l'état assemblé des dalles, le long d'un des bords longitudinaux desdites dalles un encochage pour absorber le décalage de hauteur entre les deux dalles du premier rang et, le long du bord longitudinal opposé, une saillie de compensation de décalage de hauteur d'un module superposé.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the corner notches of the third slab and of the fourth slab of the second row form, in the assembled state, slabs, along one of the longitudinal edges of said slabs, a notch for absorbing the height offset between the two first row slabs and, along the opposite longitudinal edge, a height offset compensation projection of a superimposed module.

Comme mentionné ci-dessus, l'invention a pour objet un parement de pierres artificielles imitant l'aspect d'une maçonnerie traditionnelle de pierres sèches ou de pierres avec joints. Ce parement 1 est constitué de dalles élémentaires de façade, représentées en 2 aux figures, et de dalles élémentaires d'angle, représentées en 3 aux figures. Chaque dalle de façade 2 ou d'angle 3 est généralement obtenue par moulage d'une composition à base d'une résine de synthèse, de préférence une résine polyester, et de charges minérales telles que des charges de quartz, de silice, de marbre ou autres pour conférer à la dalle réalisée l'apparence d'un assemblage de plusieurs pierres 11 séparées par des lignes de joint 12 comme l'illustre la figure 4 dans laquelle plusieurs modèles d'une dalle de façade 2 ont été représentés, chaque modèle correspondant à une empreinte de moule différente. Il peut ainsi exister plus de cinquante empreintes de moules permettant d'avoir une très grande variété d'aspect, sans jamais retrouver deux joints verticaux superposés "coup de sabre". Chaque dalle monobloc ainsi réalisée présente une épaisseur généralement comprise entre 12 et 15 mm. Cette épaisseur peut être accrue en particulier pour les murs porteurs. Chaque dalle peut ainsi être apposée sur un support généralement vertical, intérieur ou extérieur. Elle peut, de manière similaire, être appliquée sur un support horizontal. A titre de support admissible, il peut être cité les maçonneries en blocs de béton creux ou pleins, en blocs de terre cuite recouvertes d'un enduit traditionnel ou monocouche, le béton, le béton cellulaire, le plâtre, les carreaux de plâtre, les plaques de plâtre cartonnées, etc. La composition des dalles permet d'obtenir des produits perméables à la vapeur d'eau par les joints non gélifs, de porosité très faible, de manière à faciliter leur entretien. Ces dalles se caractérisent en particulier par leur facilité de nettoyage lorsqu'elles sont revêtues de graffitis.As mentioned above, the invention relates to an artificial stone facing imitating the appearance of a traditional stone masonry dry or stone with joints. This facing 1 consists of elementary facade tiles, shown in 2 in the figures, and elementary corner slabs, shown at 3 in the figures. Each facing
Ce parement 1 de pierres artificielles est obtenu par assemblage de modules M dont un exemple de réalisation est représenté à la figure 1. Ce module M est constitué de quatre dalles 2A, 2B, 2C, 2D élémentaires différenciées. Un tel module M est assemblable par juxtaposition ou superposition à un module de pose similaire. Par similaire, on entend un module dont le profil extérieur est identique mais dont la surface peut présenter un aspect différent. Chaque module M est formé d'un premier rang de deux dalles 2A, 2B, chaque dalle de ce rang présentant au moins un profil mâle 4 et un profil femelle 5 sur deux de ses bords latéraux dits transversaux opposés. Le profil mâle 4 et le profil femelle 5 d'une dalle 2A de ce rang de deux dalles sont positionnés à une distance d'un bord 6 longitudinal de la dalle 2A différente par rapport à l'autre dalle 2B du rang pour créer une ligne L1 horizontale brisée avec un pas correspondant à une longueur de dalle annulant un effet visuel et répétitif entre deux modules assemblés. Ainsi, dans l'exemple représenté, les profils femelle 5 et mâle 4 de la dalle 2A sont disposés à une distance D1 du bord longitudinal supérieur de la dalle 2A tandis que le profil mâle 4 et le profil femelle 5 de la dalle 2B sont disposés à une distance D2 du bord longitudinal de la dalle 2B, D2 étant supérieur à D1 pour générer un décalage entre lesdites dalles lorsque ces dalles 2A, 2B sont assemblées par emboîtement et positionnées côte à côte.This facing 1 of artificial stones is obtained by assembling modules M, an exemplary embodiment is shown in Figure 1. This module M consists of four
Ce module M est encore constitué d'un deuxième rang de dalles 2C, 2D assemblées par leurs bords longitudinaux au premier rang de dalles 2A, 2B. Ces dalles 2C, 2D sont décalées dans les exemples représentés d'une demi-longueur par rapport aux dalles 2A, 2B du premier rang. Ces dalles 2C, 2D présentent sur leurs bords longitudinaux des encochages d'angle 7, 8 diagonalement opposés. Ainsi, les encochages 7, qui affectent la forme générale d'un L allongé, forment, à l'état assemblé, des dalles 2C, 2D au niveau du bord longitudinal supérieur desdites dalles, une saillie 10 de compensation du décalage de hauteur d'un module superposé. De manière analogue, les encochages 8 des dalles 2C, 2D positionnés sur le bord longitudinal opposé desdites dalles forment, à l'état assemblé des dalles 2C et 2D, un encochage 9 présentant une dimension totale égale à deux fois la dimension d'un encochage 8 pour permettre l'absorption du décalage de hauteur entre les deux dalles 2A, 2B du premier rang et venir coiffer notamment le bord longitudinal supérieur de la dalle 2B du premier rang se logeant ainsi à emboîtement à l'intérieur de cet encochage 9. Bien évidemment, chaque dalle 2C, 2D du deuxième rang, de même que chaque dalle 2A, 2B du premier rang, comporte sur ses bords transversaux opposés un profil mâle 4 et un profil femelle 5 alignés pour assurer l'assemblage des dalles.This module M is still constituted by a second row of
Dans les exemples représentés, les profils mâles 4 et femelles 5 alignés d'une dalle 2 de façade affectent respectivement l'un la forme d'une languette, l'autre la forme d'un évidement de forme géométrique complémentaire de la languette. Il est à noter que ces mêmes profils sont repris pour les dalles d'angle 3.In the examples shown, the
La juxtaposition et/ou la superposition de modules du type décrit ci-dessus permettent l'obtention d'un parement conforme à celui représenté à la figure 2. Dans ce parement, il a été représenté un angle sortant séparant deux pans de façade, les dalles servant à la délimitation de cet angle sont appelées dalles d'angle 3. Ces dalles d'angle 3 sont constituées de dalles de façade dont le bord transversal est découpé suivant une ligne L2 passant par les bords verticaux des encochages 7, 8 pour les dalles 2C, 2D du second rang du module et confondue avec la ligne de base des profils mâles 4 pour les dalles 2A, 2B du premier rang. Cette ligne L2 de découpe est plus particulièrement représentée à la figure 3 dans laquelle les parties de dalle représentées en noir correspondent aux parties de dalles qui ont dû être découpées avant la pose desdites dalles. En fonction du type d'angle sortant ou rentrant réalisé, ces dalles d'angle comportent un chant biseauté.The juxtaposition and / or the superposition of modules of the type described above allow to obtain a facing in accordance with that shown in Figure 2. In this facing, it has been shown an outgoing angle separating two facades, the slabs used for the delimitation of this angle are called
Grâce à la conception d'un tel module, il en résulte une simplification de pose du parement. Par ailleurs, la suppression de saillies sur les bords longitudinaux des dalles permet d'obtenir des dalles de faible encombrement, facilitant leur stockage et leur conditionnementThanks to the design of such a module, it results in a simplification of laying the facing. Furthermore, the removal of projections on the longitudinal edges of the slabs provides slabs of small size, facilitating their storage and packaging
