Description

La présente invention est relative à un dispositif de liaison et de blocage entre un profilé de support et un chevron ou élément analogue, pour la réalisation de vérandas, verrières ou constructions similaires.The present invention relates to a connecting and locking device between a support profile and a rafter or the like, for the production of verandas, canopies or similar constructions.

Le brevet français 2 702 525 décrit un dispositif de ce genre où la liaison entre un profilé de support et un chevron s'étendant transversalement vis-à-vis de ce profilé, est réalisée au moyen d'un verrou en deux parties, dont la première en forme de plaquette est apte à être reçue dans un logement ouvert d'une plate-forme ménagé dans le profilé de support qui comporte également un épaulement d'appui pour le chevron, cette plaquette présentant un trou de passage pour la seconde partie du verrou constituée par un doigt solidaire du chevron et muni d'une tête épaulée, ce trou de passage étant prolongé dans la plaquette par au moins une rainure longitudinale dont la direction fait un angle fermé avec la face de contact du chevron sur le profilé, la tête épaulée du doigt étant appliquée sur la surface opposée de la plaquette taillée en coin pour former également un angle fermé avec le plan de l'épaulement d'appui.French patent 2,702,525 describes a device of this kind where the connection between a support profile and a rafter extending transversely with respect to this profile, is produced by means of a two-part lock, the first plate-shaped is adapted to be received in an open housing of a platform formed in the support profile which also includes a support shoulder for the rafter, this plate having a through hole for the second part of the latch constituted by a finger secured to the rafter and provided with a shoulder head, this through hole being extended in the plate by at least one longitudinal groove whose direction makes a closed angle with the contact face of the rafter on the profile, the shouldered head of the finger being applied to the opposite surface of the wedge-shaped insert to also form a closed angle with the plane of the support shoulder.

Selon la solution décrite dans ce brevet, le chevron équipé de son doigt épaulé est posé sur l'épaulement d'appui du profilé de support, ce doigt étant engagé dans la rainure de la plaquette, préalablement mise en place dans le logement de ce profilé. Cette plaquette est alors déplacée dans le logement de manière que la tête épaulée du doigt s'engage dans la rainure, l'inclinaison de celle-ci assurant le léger déplacement du chevron qui s'applique étroitement et se bloque contre une face plane en regard du profilé. En outre, grâce au profil en coin de la plaquette, le déplacement de celle-ci dans sa rainure exerce sur la tête épaulée solidaire du chevron un autre faible déplacement complémentaire dans une direction perpendiculaire à celle obtenue par l'effet de l'inclinaison de la rainure, ce qui parfait encore le blocage mutuel du chevron et du profilé par le verrou ainsi constitué.According to the solution described in this patent, the chevron equipped with its shouldered finger is placed on the support shoulder of the support profile, this finger being engaged in the groove of the plate, previously placed in the housing of this profile. . This plate is then moved into the housing so that the shoulder of the finger engages in the groove, the inclination of the latter ensuring the slight displacement of the chevron which applies tightly and locks against a flat face opposite of the profile. In addition, thanks to corner profile of the plate, the displacement of the latter in its groove exerts on the shoulder head integral with the rafter another small complementary displacement in a direction perpendicular to that obtained by the effect of the inclination of the groove, which further perfect the mutual blocking of the rafter and the profile by the bolt thus formed.

Toutefois, cette solution est complexe et entraîne un coût non négligeable pour sa réalisation pratique, impliquant en outre des opérations de montage délicates, la plaquette ayant tendance à se déplacer de façon non contrôlée dans la rainure du profilé, ce qui exige de l'immobiliser préalablement en position adéquate avant introduction du doigt épaulé du chevron dans la rainure.However, this solution is complex and entails a non-negligible cost for its practical implementation, furthermore involving delicate assembly operations, the insert tending to move in an uncontrolled manner in the groove of the profile, which requires it to be immobilized. beforehand in an adequate position before introducing the shouldered finger of the chevron into the groove.

De plus, le blocage du chevron vis-à-vis du profilé s'obtient généralement en frappant sur le premier pour obtenir le déplacement du doigt épaulé vis-à-vis de la plaquette, ce qui peut conduire à le détériorer.In addition, the blocking of the rafter vis-à-vis the profile is generally obtained by hitting the first to obtain the movement of the shouldered finger vis-à-vis the plate, which can lead to deterioration.

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de liaison entre un profilé de support comportant une face plane d'appui transversal pour un flan parallèle d'un chevron reposant sur un épaulement d'appui du profilé, qui soit peu coûteux, facile à réaliser, rapide et commode à mettre en oeuvre, le chevron se solidarisant du profilé de support grâce à une simple opération d'encliquetage.The present invention relates to a connection device between a support profile comprising a flat transverse support face for a parallel blank of a rafter resting on a support shoulder of the profile, which is inexpensive, easy to produce, rapid and convenient to implement, the rafter is joined to the support profile by a simple snap operation.

A cet effet, le dispositif considéré, pour solidariser un chevron ou analogue d'un profilé de support, ledit chevron comportant un flan apte à venir en contact avec une face d'appui plane du profilé et reposant par un flasque de base sur un épaulement du profilé s'étendant dans une direction perpendiculaire à la face d'appui, ce profilé comportant en outre au droit de son épaulement, une gorge ouverte délimitée par deux bords parallèles l'un à l'autre présentant chacun au moins une empreinte en creux, les empreintes des deux bords étant disposées au droit l'une de l'autre vers l'intérieur ou l'extérieur de ces bords, se caractérise en ce qu'il est constitué par une pièce de liaison à section en U, comprenant un fond plat et étant ouverte du côté opposé à ce fond, cette pièce comportant, repliés à partir du fond plat, deux côtés latéraux présentant une relative élasticité, ces côtés, sensiblement parallèles entre eux et aux bords de la gorge, comportant chacun un cran en relief apte à coopérer avec l'empreinte du bord disposée en regard, le fond de la pièce de liaison présentant un perçage pour le montage d'une vis de fixation de cette pièce sur le flasque de base du chevron.To this end, the device considered, for securing a rafter or the like to a support profile, said rafter comprising a blank capable of coming into contact with a flat bearing face of the profile and resting on a shoulder by a base flange of the profile extending in a direction perpendicular to the bearing face, this profile further comprising at the right of its shoulder, a open groove delimited by two edges parallel to each other, each having at least one hollow imprint, the imprints of the two edges being arranged in line with one another towards the inside or outside of these edges , is characterized in that it consists of a U-shaped connecting piece, comprising a flat bottom and being open on the side opposite to this bottom, this piece comprising, folded from the flat bottom, two lateral sides having a relative elasticity, these sides, substantially parallel to each other and to the edges of the groove, each comprising a raised notch capable of cooperating with the impression of the edge disposed opposite, the bottom of the connecting piece having a hole for mounting '' a fastening screw for this part on the base flange of the rafter.

Dans un mode de réalisation préféré, la pièce de liaison est réalisée en tôle métallique mince, emboutie. Avantageusement et dans ce cas, la pièce de liaison est de forme générale parallélépipèdique et comporte deux autres côtés, parallèles entre eux et perpendiculaires aux côtés latéraux comportant les empreintes en creux, aptes à être légèrement repliés l'un vers l'autre entre ces côtés latéraux pour en assurer le blocage en position, une fois les crans de ceux-ci engagés dans les empreintes des bords de la gorge.In a preferred embodiment, the connecting piece is made of stamped thin metal sheet. Advantageously and in this case, the connecting piece is generally rectangular in shape and has two other sides, mutually parallel and perpendicular to the lateral sides comprising the indentations, able to be slightly folded towards each other between these sides lateral to ensure the locking in position, once the notches thereof engaged in the imprints of the edges of the groove.

En variante, la pièce de liaison peut être constituée par un élément de profilé métallique en U, dont les côtés parallèles sont propres à coiffer les bords de la gorge.Alternatively, the connecting piece can be constituted by a U-shaped metal profile element, the parallel sides of which are suitable for covering the edges of the groove.

De préférence également, le perçage dans le fond de la pièce de liaison présente un profil de forme oblongue afin de permettre d'ajuster le positionnement de la pièce vis-à-vis du flasque de base du chevron.Also preferably, the hole in the bottom of the connecting piece has an oblong profile in order to allow the adjustment of the positioning of the part with respect to the base flange of the rafter.

Selon une autre caractéristique, le fond de la pièce de liaison comporte deux pattes de centrage s'étendant perpendiculairement à son plan, propres à serrer latéralement les côtés du chevron prolongeant son flasque de base.According to another characteristic, the bottom of the connecting piece has two centering tabs extending perpendicular to its plane, adapted to laterally tighten the sides of the rafter extending its base flange.

Avantageusement, les deux pattes de la pièce de liaison sont réalisées par découpage et pliage du fond plan, et disposées symétriquement par rapport au perçage traversé par la vis de fixation.Advantageously, the two tabs of the connecting piece are produced by cutting and folding the flat bottom, and arranged symmetrically with respect to the bore through which the fixing screw passes.

Selon une autre caractéristique également, l'épaulement du profilé de support comporte un rebord extérieur évasé, muni d'une ailette déformable de blocage de la pièce de liaison engagée dans la gorge du profilé.According to another characteristic also, the shoulder of the support profile has a flared outer rim, provided with a deformable fin for blocking the connecting piece engaged in the groove of the profile.

D'autres caractéristiques d'un dispositif de liaison et de blocage entre un profilé de support et un chevron reposant sur ce profilé établi conformément à l'invention, apparaîtront encore à travers la description qui suit d'un exemple de réalisation, donné à titre indicatif et non limitatif en référence au dessin annexé qui illustre, en vue perspective éclatée, la pièce mise en oeuvre pour réaliser cette liaison.Other characteristics of a connection and blocking device between a support profile and a rafter resting on this profile established in accordance with the invention will become more apparent from the following description of an exemplary embodiment, given by way of indicative and not limiting with reference to the accompanying drawing which illustrates, in exploded perspective view, the part used to make this connection.

Sur cette figure, la référence 1 désigne un profilé de support métallique entrant dans la réalisation d'une véranda, verrière ou construction analogue dont le détail de la structure n'importe pas directement à l'invention.In this figure, the reference 1 designates a metal support profile used in the production of a veranda, canopy or similar construction, the detail of the structure of which does not directly matter to the invention.

Ce profilé de support 1 est prévu pour permettre l'appui d'un chevron destiné à supporter certaines parties de la véranda, en particulier les éléments vitrés de celle-ci (non représentés), ce chevron 2 étant délimité par un flan plan 3 destiné à venir s'appuyer contre une surface également plane 4 du profilé 1, une fois le chevron monté et assemblé avec ce dernier.This support profile 1 is provided to allow the support of a chevron intended to support certain parts of the veranda, in particular the glazed elements thereof (not shown), this chevron 2 being delimited by a flat blank 3 intended to come to rest against an equally flat surface 4 of section 1, once the rafter has been assembled and assembled with the latter.

Le chevron 2 comporte par ailleurs un flasque de base 5, prévu pour venir reposer sur un épaulement 6 ménagé à la partie inférieure du profilé 1, cet épaulement s'étendant dans un plan perpendiculaire à sa face d'appui 4.The rafter 2 also comprises a base flange 5, intended to come to rest on a shoulder 6 formed at the lower part of the profile 1, this shoulder extending in a plane perpendicular to its bearing face 4.

Par construction, le profilé 1 comporte sous son épaulement 6 sur lequel s'appuie le flasque de base 5 du chevron 2, une gorge ouverte 7, délimitée par deux bords parallèles, respectivement 8 et 9.By construction, the section 1 has under its shoulder 6 on which the base flange 5 of the rafter 2 rests, an open groove 7, delimited by two parallel edges, respectively 8 and 9.

Ces bords 8 et 9 sont aménagés de manière à présenter des empreintes en creux, respectivement 10 et 11, dans l'un et l'autre de ces bords, ces deux empreintes étant disposés en regard l'une de l'autre.These edges 8 and 9 are arranged so as to have recessed imprints, respectively 10 and 11, in one and the other of these edges, these two imprints being arranged opposite one another.

Conformément à l'invention, la liaison entre le profilé 1 et le chevron 2 appliqué sur l'épaulement 6 et avec son flan 3 en étroit contact avec la face 4 du profilé, est réalisée par une pièce 12, emboutie à partir d'une tôle métallique mince et dont le profil apparaît clairement sur le dessin.In accordance with the invention, the connection between the profile 1 and the rafter 2 applied to the shoulder 6 and with its blank 3 in close contact with the face 4 of the profile, is produced by a part 12, stamped from a thin metal sheet and the profile of which appears clearly on the drawing.

Cette pièce 12 comporte un fond plat 13 apte à venir s'appuyer sous le flasque de base 5 du chevron 2, en étant immobilisée par son fond 13 au moyen d'une vis de blocage 14 traversant un perçage 15, ménagé dans le fond 13.This part 12 has a flat bottom 13 capable of coming to bear under the base flange 5 of the rafter 2, being immobilized by its bottom 13 by means of a locking screw 14 passing through a bore 15, formed in the bottom 13 .

Avantageusement, la vis comporte une tête 16, prolongée par un corps fileté 17 qui traverse le perçage 15 et un trou de passage 18 prévu en regard dans le flasque 5, cette extrémité 17 coopérant avec un écrou 19 immobilisant la pièce 12 en position sous le chevron. Utilement, le fond 13 de la pièce 12 comporte deux pattes de centrage 20 et 21, obtenues par découpage et pliage de la tôle de ce fond en deux emplacements symétriques de part et d'autre du perçage 15, ces pattes, qui s'étendent perpendiculairement au fond 13, étant destinées à venir serrer les côtés du chevron 2 de part et d'autre de son flasque de base 5.Advantageously, the screw comprises a head 16, extended by a threaded body 17 which passes through the bore 15 and a passage hole 18 provided facing the flange 5, this end 17 cooperating with a nut 19 immobilizing the part 12 in position under the chevron. Usefully, the bottom 13 of the part 12 has two centering tabs 20 and 21, obtained by cutting and bending the sheet of this bottom in two symmetrical locations on one side and on the other side of the bore 15, these tabs, which extend perpendicular to the bottom 13, being intended to clamp the sides of the rafter 2 on either side of its base flange 5.

Le perçage 15 présente de préférence une forme légèrement oblongue afin d'ajuster au mieux le positionnement de la pièce 12 sous le flasque 5 avant que son blocage définitif ne soit réalisé par la vis 14 et l'écrou 19.The bore 15 preferably has a slightly oblong shape in order to best adjust the positioning of the part 12 under the flange 5 before its final locking is achieved by the screw 14 and the nut 19.

Selon l'invention, la pièce 12 présente une forme parallélèpipédique et est entièrement ouverte à son côté opposé à son fond plat 13.According to the invention, the part 12 has a parallelepiped shape and is entirely open at its side opposite to its flat bottom 13.

A cet effet, elle comporte quatre côtés latéraux, deux à deux sensiblement parallèles, respectivement 22 et 23 pour ses grands côtés et 24 et 25 pour ses petits côtés. Ces quatre côtés de la pièce 12 sont repliés à partir du fond plat 13 et présentent une relative souplesse en raison de la nature du métal constituant la pièce.To this end, it has four lateral sides, two by two substantially parallel, respectively 22 and 23 for its long sides and 24 and 25 for its short sides. These four sides of the part 12 are folded from the flat bottom 13 and have a relative flexibility due to the nature of the metal constituting the part.

Les deux grands côtés 22 et 23 sont enfin munis au voisinage de leurs extrémités opposées au fond 13 de crans en relief 26 et 27, destinés à venir coopérer avec les empreintes en creux 10 et 11 prévus dans les bords 8 et 9 de la gorge 7 du profilé 1.The two long sides 22 and 23 are finally provided in the vicinity of their ends opposite the bottom 13 with raised notches 26 and 27, intended to come to cooperate with the indentations 10 and 11 provided in the edges 8 and 9 of the groove 7 of profile 1.

Grâce à ces dispositions, la liaison et le blocage du chevron sur le profilé peuvent être obtenus par simple encliquetage des crans 26 et 27 des grands côtés de la pièce 12 avec les empreintes 10 et 11 des bords 8 et 9 de la gorge 7, le positionnement de la pièce sous le chevron étant obtenu grâce à l'ajustement de la vis 14 dans le perçage oblong 15, les diverses parties de l'assemblage étant calculées pour que cette liaison se réalise au moment précis où le flasque de base 5 du chevron est en appui sur l'épaulement 6 du profilé, en même temps que le flan plan 3 de ce chevron est en contact étroit avec la face 4 de ce dernier.Thanks to these provisions, the connection and the blocking of the rafter on the profile can be obtained by simple snap-fastening of the notches 26 and 27 of the long sides of the part 12 with the imprints 10 and 11 of the edges 8 and 9 of the groove 7, the positioning of the part under the rafter being obtained by adjusting the screw 14 in the oblong hole 15, the various parts of the assembly being calculated so that this connection takes place at the precise moment when the base flange 5 of the rafter is supported on the shoulder 6 of the profiled, at the same time as the planar blank 3 of this rafter is in close contact with the face 4 of the latter.

A cet instant, la pièce de liaison peut être bloquée en position grâce aux deux autres petits côtés 24,25 de celle-ci, perpendiculaires aux grands côtés 22,23, ces petits côtés étant légèrement repoussés à force vers l'intérieur entre les grands côtés, immobilisés dans la gorge par encliquetage de la façon indiquée ci-dessus.At this instant, the connecting piece can be locked in position thanks to the two other short sides 24,25 thereof, perpendicular to the long sides 22,23, these short sides being slightly forced back inwardly between the large sides, immobilized in the groove by snap-fitting as indicated above.

Avantageusement, pour parfaire encore mieux l'immobilisation de la pièce 12, une fois celle-ci mise en place dans la gorge 7 avec ses crans 26 et 27 en prise avec les empreintes 10 et 11, on peut prévoir sur l'épaulement 6 du profilé 1 un rebord extérieur évasé 28, muni d'une ailette déformable 29 de blocage de cette pièce.Advantageously, to further improve the immobilization of the part 12, once it has been placed in the groove 7 with its notches 26 and 27 in engagement with the imprints 10 and 11, provision may be made on the shoulder 6 of the profile 1 a flared outer rim 28, provided with a deformable fin 29 for blocking this part.

On réalise ainsi un dispositif particulièrement simple dans sa structure et qui permet d'obtenir une liaison étroite, rapide et sûre entre le profilé et le chevron par un unique mouvement d'encliquetage, sans aucune intervention préalable exigeant la fixation et/ou la coopération de pièces mécaniques à assembler puis à déplacer relativement les unes par rapport aux autres pour obtenir leur immobilisation mutuelle, comme par exemple dans l'art antérieur cité au préambule de la présente description, cette liaison étant réalisée grâce à une pièce dont la fabrication ne présente aucune difficulté, pas plus que son montage et son immobilisation sur ce chevron.This produces a particularly simple device in its structure and which allows to obtain a close, fast and secure connection between the profile and the rafter by a single snap movement, without any prior intervention requiring the fixing and / or cooperation of mechanical parts to be assembled and then to move relatively with respect to each other to obtain their mutual immobilization, as for example in the prior art cited in the preamble to this description, this connection being produced by means of a part whose manufacture exhibits no difficulty, no more than its mounting and immobilization on this rafter.

Bien entendu, il va de soi que l'invention ne se limite pas à l'exemple de réalisation plus spécialement décrit ci-dessus et représenté sur le dessin annexé ; elle en embrasse au contraire toutes les variantes. Notamment, si cet exemple prévoit plus particulièrement d'utiliser une pièce en tôle mince emboutie, on pourrait en variante la réaliser avec un élément de profilé métallique en U, dont les côtés parallèles, suffisamment souples, sont adaptés cette fois à coiffer les bords de la gorge, les empreintes en creux étant de préférence ménagées dans ce cas sur les faces extérieures de ces bords.Of course, it goes without saying that the invention is not limited to the embodiment more specifically described above and shown in the accompanying drawing; on the contrary, it embraces all its variants. In particular, if this example provides more particularly to use a piece of stamped thin sheet metal, it could alternatively be produced with a U-shaped metal profile element, whose parallel sides, sufficiently flexible, are this time adapted to cover the edges of the groove, the imprints in hollow being preferably formed in this case on the outer faces of these edges.
