Description

La présente invention est relative à un dispositif de liaison entre l'extrémité latérale d'un garde corps et une structure de support faisant partie du gros oeuvre d'un bâtiment ou analogue.The present invention relates to a connecting device between the lateral end of a guardrail and a support structure forming part of the shell of a building or the like.

On sait qu'un garde-corps formant barrière ou rambarde de protection vis-à-vis du vide, porté par ou disposé au-dessus d'une surface d'appui au sol, est usuellement constitué par un ensemble de poteaux verticaux espacés, ces poteaux étant reliés de l'un à l'autre à leur extrémité supérieure opposée par une main courante qui s'étend parallèlement à cette surface selon l'étendue transversale du garde-corps.It is known that a guardrail forming a barrier or guardrail vis-à-vis the vacuum, carried by or disposed above a bearing surface on the ground, is usually constituted by a set of spaced vertical poles, these posts being connected from one to the other at their opposite upper end by a handrail which extends parallel to this surface along the transverse extent of the railing.

Entre les poteaux verticaux et la main courante, le garde-corps comporte des panneaux de remplissage, pleins ou ajourés, transparents ou non, reliés aux poteaux verticaux et qui ferment les espaces libres entre ceux-ci, sous la main courante.Between the vertical poles and the handrail, the railing has filling panels, solid or perforated, transparent or not, connected to the vertical posts and which close the gaps between them, under the handrail.

Le garde-corps ainsi constitué doit être réuni à ses deux extrémités latérales avec le gros oeuvre de la structure où il est implanté. Généralement, il s'agit d'un mur de support, en béton ou autre, dont les faces sont sensiblement parallèles aux poteaux, la liaison avec ceux-ci étant réalisée par des plots ou similaires noyés dans le mur et débordant latéralement de celui-ci, ces plots étant réunis par des moyens de fixation appropriés, à des pattes solidaires du poteau vertical d'extrémité du garde-corps en regard.The railing thus formed must be joined at its two lateral ends with the shell of the structure where it is implanted. Generally, it is a support wall, concrete or otherwise, whose faces are substantially parallel to the posts, the connection with them being carried out by studs or the like embedded in the wall and projecting laterally from it. ci, these pads being joined by appropriate fastening means, legs integral with the vertical end pole of the guardrail opposite.

Or, il est fréquent que le bord latéral du garde-corps formé par ses poteaux d'extrémité ne soit pas rigoureusement parallèle au plan du mur du gros oeuvre, ce qui exige de prévoir un certain degré de liberté dans l'orientation relative de ces deux éléments. En outre, il est nécessaire de pouvoir ajuster également en hauteur et transversalement le positionnement des moyens de liaison entre les poteaux et le mur.However, it is common that the lateral edge of the railing formed by its end posts is not strictly parallel to the plane of the structural wall, which requires to provide a certain degree of freedom in the relative orientation of these structures. two elements. In addition, it is necessary to be able to adjust also in height and transversely the positioning of the connecting means between the posts and the wall.

Les solutions usuelles sont peu esthétiques et exigent pour le montage et la liaison avec les poteaux d'extrémité du garde-corps la mise en oeuvre de moyens complexes et relativement peu commodes à adapter chaque fois que l'angle formé entre le plan du mur et le panneau de remplissage qui lui est adjacent, est différent d'une réalisation à l'autre.The usual solutions are unsightly and require for mounting and binding with the end posts of the railing the implementation of complex and relatively inconvenient means to adapt each time the angle formed between the plane of the wall and the filler panel adjacent to it is different from one embodiment to another.

La présente invention est relative à un dispositif qui pallie ces inconvénients en permettant d'absorber de façon simple aussi bien le décalage angulaire entre le mur et le poteau vertical d'extrémité du garde-corps que d'éventuels déplacements relatifs en hauteur et transversalement, en autorisant dans tous les cas une liaison rapide et efficace.The present invention relates to a device that overcomes these disadvantages by allowing to absorb in a simple way both the angular offset between the wall and the vertical end pole of the railing as possible relative movements in height and transversely, allowing in all cases a fast and efficient connection.

A cet effet, le dispositif de liaison selon l'invention, entre un mur d'appui appartenant au gros oeuvre d'un bâtiment et un poteau de support vertical d'extrémité d'un garde-corps, ce poteau comportant un profilé creux présentant au moins une rainure ouverte s'étendant selon la hauteur du poteau en regard du mur d'appui, se caractérise en ce qu'il comporte un coulisseau muni d'au moins une nervure coopérant avec la rainure du profilé pour permettre son déplacement et son immobilisation selon la hauteur du poteau, le coulisseau comportant de part et d'autre du plan médian du profilé creux, deux zones symétriques à contour circulaire munies d'une fente transversale s'étendant dans un plan horizontal, une pièce de positionnement, apte à être solidarisée du mur, comprenant un logement interne de forme générale parallélépipédique, dans lequel pénètre le coulisseau avec ajustement en profondeur, les zones à contour circulaire du coulisseau étant en contact avec les parois internes de ce logement, un écrou plat transversal, logé dans la fente transversale du coulisseau et une vis de blocage mutuel de la pièce de positionnement et du coulisseau, coopérant avec l'écrou plat,For this purpose, the connecting device according to the invention, between a support wall belonging to the structural work of a building and a vertical support post end of a railing, this post having a hollow profile having at least one open groove extending according to the height of the post facing the bearing wall, is characterized in that it comprises a slider provided with at least one rib cooperating with the groove of the profile to allow its movement and its immobilization according to the height of the post, the slide having on either side of the median plane of the hollow section, two symmetrical zones with a circular contour provided with a transverse slot extending in a horizontal plane, a positioning piece, suitable for to be secured to the wall, comprising an internal housing of generally parallelepipedal shape, into which the slider penetrates with depth adjustment, the circular contour areas of the slider being in contact with the slider; the internal walls of this dwelling, a transverse flat nut, housed in the transverse slot of the slide and a mutual locking screw of the positioning piece and the slide, cooperating with the flat nut,

Le dispositif de liaison selon l'invention permet ainsi d'assurer, d'une part selon l'étendue du poteau vertical un réglage en hauteur de la pièce de positionnement, d'autre part un ajustement transversal en fonction de l'écartement relatif entre le mur d'appui et le poteau par pénétration plus ou moins importante du coulisseau dans la pièce de positionnement, et enfin un réglage angulaire relatif du garde-corps vis-à-vis du mur par pivotement de la pièce de positionnement vis-à-vis du coulisseau sur les zones à profil circulaire de celui-ci, avant leur immobilisation par la vis de blocage.The connection device according to the invention thus makes it possible, on the one hand, according to the extent of the vertical pole, to adjust the height of the positioning piece, on the other hand a transverse adjustment as a function of the relative spacing between the support wall and the post by more or less penetration of the slide in the positioning piece, and finally a relative angular adjustment of the railing vis-à-vis the wall by pivoting the positioning piece vis-à-vis screw the slider on the circular profile areas thereof, before their immobilization by the locking screw.

Dans un mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention, le profilé creux du poteau présente une section sensiblement rectangulaire et deux rainures verticales équidistantes ménagées dans une des faces constituant un grand côté de cette section, s'étendant de part et d'autre d'un plan médian, le coulisseau comprenant deux nervures parallèles, respectivement engagées dans l'une et l'autre de ces rainures.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the hollow profile of the post has a substantially rectangular section and two equidistant vertical grooves formed in one of the faces constituting a long side of this section, extending on either side of a median plane, the slide comprising two parallel ribs, respectively engaged in one and the other of these grooves.

De préférence, les rainures verticales du profilé creux et les nervures parallèles du coulisseau présentent des profils complémentaires, notamment en L.Preferably, the vertical grooves of the hollow profile and the parallel ribs of the slider have complementary profiles, especially in L.

Dans ce même mode de réalisation, le coulisseau comporte un corps plat avec un talon central ménagé entre les deux nervures et en appui contre la face du profilé creux comportant les rainures recevant ces nervures, ce talon comprenant au moins un perçage fileté en prise avec une vis propre à bloquer le coulisseau dans une position choisie selon la hauteur du profilé creux du poteau.In this same embodiment, the slider comprises a flat body with a central bead formed between the two ribs and bearing against the face of the hollow section comprising the grooves receiving these ribs, this bead comprising at least one threaded bore engaged with a groove. screw adapted to block the slide in a selected position according to the height of the hollow profile of the pole.

Selon une autre caractéristique, les zones à contour circulaire du coulisseau sont prévues extérieurement sur deux extensions parallèles, s'étendant à partir de son talon central dans une direction perpendiculaire au profilé creux.According to another characteristic, the circular contour zones of the slider are provided externally on two parallel extensions, extending from its central bead in a direction perpendicular to the hollow profile.

Avantageusement, le logement interne de la pièce de positionnement présente une hauteur sensiblement égale à celle des extensions parallèles du talon du coulisseau.Advantageously, the internal housing of the positioning piece has a height substantially equal to that of the parallel extensions of the heel of the slide.

Selon encore une autre caractéristique, la pièce de positionnement comprend au moins une patte latérale en saillie, extérieure à son logement recevant le coulisseau, cette patte présentant un perçage pour le passage d'une vis d'immobilisation de la pièce vis-à-vis du mur d'appui, en regard du coulisseau.According to yet another characteristic, the positioning piece comprises at least one lateral tab protruding outside its housing accommodating the slide, this tab having a bore for the passage of a screw immobilizing the piece vis-à-vis of the support wall, facing the slide.

D'autres caractéristiques d'un dispositif 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 aux dessins annexés, sur lesquels :

  • FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic front view of a guardrail positioned by means of the connecting device according to the invention, with respect to a support wall forming part of the structural work of a building or similar.
  • Figure 2 is an exploded perspective view, on a larger scale, illustrating the various parts of the device considered.
  • Figure 3 is a detailed view, also in perspective, illustrating the slide mounted and immobilized in the housing of the positioning piece.

Le garde-corps représenté sur la Figure 1, désigné dans son ensemble sous la référence 1, est essentiellement constitué au moyen de poteaux latéraux 2, s'étendant verticalement et assurant le support d'un panneau de remplissage 3 disposé entre ces poteaux, ce panneau pouvant être bordé à ses parties supérieure et inférieure par des lisses horizontales, respectivement 4 et 5.The guardrail shown in FIG. 1, designated as a whole under the reference 1, consists essentially of lateral posts 2, extending vertically and providing support for a filler panel 3 arranged between these posts. panel which can be bordered at its upper and lower parts by horizontal rails, respectively 4 and 5.

Des lisses complémentaires 6 et 7 peuvent être également montées entre les poteaux latéraux 2, au-dessus du panneau 3, le garde-corps comprenant à l'extrémité supérieure des poteaux une main courante 8, parallèle aux lisses précédentes.Complementary rails 6 and 7 may also be mounted between the lateral columns 2, above the panel 3, the railing comprising at the upper end of the posts a handrail 8, parallel to the previous rails.

L'ensemble est disposé dans une ouverture 9 ménagé dans le gros oeuvre 10 d'un bâtiment ou analogue, comportant en particulier des murs d'appui latéraux 11, sensiblement verticaux, et une partie de sol inférieure horizontale 12.The assembly is disposed in an opening 9 formed in the shell 10 of a building or the like, comprising in particular lateral support walls 11, substantially vertical, and a lower horizontal floor portion 12.

Entre les poteaux verticaux 2, prévus selon les côtés latéraux du garde-corps 1 et les parties du mur d'appui 11 en regard de part et d'autre de ce dernier, sont prévus des dispositifs de liaison 13 conformes à l'invention et dont le détail de la réalisation est décrit ci-après, ces dispositifs étant agencés pour permettre d'accommoder un décalage relatif éventuel, en hauteur, en largeur et dans un plan transversal entre le mur et les poteaux.Between the vertical posts 2, provided along the lateral sides of the railing 1 and the portions of the supporting wall 11 facing each side of the latter, are provided connecting devices 13 according to the invention and the details of the embodiment is described below, these devices being arranged to accommodate a possible relative offset, in height, width and in a transverse plane between the wall and the posts.

Sur la Figure 2, le dispositif de liaison 13 représenté est prévu pour coopérer avec un poteau vertical 2 qui, dans l'exemple de réalisation représenté, comporte au moins un profilé creux 14 à section droite sensiblement rectangulaire, ce profilé comprenant deux rainures parallèles, respectivement 15 et 16 ménagées dans une de ses grandes faces et qui s'étendent sur toute la hauteur du poteau.In FIG. 2, the connecting device 13 shown is provided for cooperating with a vertical post 2 which, in the exemplary embodiment shown, comprises at least one hollow profile 14 of substantially rectangular cross-section, this section comprising two parallel grooves, respectively 15 and 16 formed in one of its large faces and which extend over the entire height from the pole.

Avantageusement, chaque poteau peut être constitué au moyen de deux profilés creux de ce genre accolés l'un à l'autre et agencés conformément aux dispositions décrites et représentées dans les demandes de brevet 03 08347 et 03 08348 du 8 juillet 2003 déposées au nom de la Demanderesse, respectivement pour un poteau de support pour garde-corps et un piétement adapté à l'immobilisation d'un tel poteau.Advantageously, each post may be constituted by means of two such hollow sections contiguous to one another and arranged in accordance with the provisions described and represented in the patent applications 03 08347 and 03 08348 of July 8, 2003 filed in the name of the Applicant, respectively for a support post for railing and a base adapted to the immobilization of such a post.

Les rainures 15 et 16 ménagées dans le profilé creux 14 présentent avantageusement un profil 17 en L et sont agencées pour coopérer avec des nervures, respectivement 18 et 19, de même profil, prévues dans le talon central 20 d'un coulisseau 21, lequel peut ainsi être déplacé par glissement sur toute la hauteur du profilé 14 et par suite du poteau vertical 2 formé par celui-ci, avant d'être immobilisé dans la position souhaitée en fonction de l'encombrement du garde-corps 1 et de l'endroit prévu pour le montage de chacun des dispositifs de liaison 13, comme représenté sur la Figure 1.The grooves 15 and 16 formed in the hollow profile 14 advantageously have an L-shaped profile 17 and are arranged to cooperate with ribs 18 and 19, respectively, of the same profile, provided in the central bead 20 of a slider 21, which can thus be moved by sliding over the entire height of the profile 14 and consequently the vertical post 2 formed by it, before being immobilized in the desired position depending on the size of the guardrail 1 and the place provided for mounting each of the connecting devices 13, as shown in Figure 1.

Le talon central 20 du coulisseau 21 comporte par ailleurs deux extensions latérales, parallèles entre elles, respectivement repérées par les références 22 et 23 et qui s'étendent dans une direction sensiblement perpendiculaire à la face du profilé 14 sur laquelle s'applique ce talon, le coulisseau étant bloqué au moyen de vis 24 qui traversent des perçages filetés 25 ménagés au travers du talon 20, et viennent prendre appui au-delà de celui-ci contre le profilé.The central bead 20 of the slider 21 also comprises two lateral extensions, parallel to each other, respectively marked by the references 22 and 23 and which extend in a direction substantially perpendicular to the face of the section 14 on which this bead is applied, the slider being blocked by means of screws 24 which pass through threaded holes 25 formed through the heel 20, and come to bear beyond it against the profile.

Les deux extensions 22 et 23 comportent par ailleurs une fente transversale 26 dans laquelle peut être mis en place un écrou plat 27 muni, sensiblement en son centre, d'un perçage fileté 28.The two extensions 22 and 23 further include a transverse slot 26 into which a flat nut 27 provided with a threaded bore 28, substantially at its center, can be fitted.

Le dispositif de liaison comporte par ailleurs une pièce de positionnement et d'immobilisation 29, pourvue intérieurement d'un logement 30 de forme générale parallélépipédique, dont la hauteur correspond à celle des deux extensions 22 et 23 du coulisseau 21.The connecting device also comprises a positioning and immobilization piece 29, internally provided with a housing 30 of generally parallelepipedal shape, whose height corresponds to that of the two extensions 22 and 23 of the slider 21.

Ces extensions 22 et 23 sont par ailleurs agencées de telle sorte qu'elles présentent, dans leur surface externe, des zones à contour circulaire, respectivement 31 et 32, symétriques l'une de l'autre par rapport au plan médian du talon 20 et du profilé creux 14.These extensions 22 and 23 are moreover arranged in such a way that they have, in their outer surface, zones with a circular contour, respectively 31 and 32, symmetrical to one another with respect to the median plane of the heel 20 and hollow profile 14.

Ces zones à contour circulaire présentent au maximum un écartement entre elles qui est sensiblement égal à la largeur du logement 30 de la pièce de positionnement 29, de manière à pouvoir librement s'y engager, au contact notamment des parois latérales 36 de ce logement.These circular contour zones have at most a spacing between them which is substantially equal to the width of the housing 30 of the positioning piece 29, so as to be able to engage freely, in particular in contact with the side walls 36 of this housing.

La pièce de positionnement 29 comporte par ailleurs une patte latérale 33, faisant saillie sur le côté de la pièce et présentant un perçage 34 pour le passage d'une vis 35, permettant d'immobiliser la pièce sur le mur d'appui 11 (Figure 1).The positioning piece 29 also has a lateral lug 33 protruding from the side of the piece and having a bore 34 for the passage of a screw 35, making it possible to immobilize the piece on the bearing wall 11 (FIG. 1).

L'écrou plat 27 est enfin associé à une vis de serrage 37, coopérant avec le perçage fileté 28 au travers d'un trou 38 prévu dans la partie supérieure de la pièce d'iThe flat nut 27 is finally associated with a clamping screw 37, cooperating with the threaded bore 28 through a hole 38 provided in the upper part of the part of FIG.

Le montage et la mise en oeuvre du dispositif s'effectuent de la manière suivante :The assembly and the implementation of the device are carried out as follows:

Dans un premier temps, on monte sur les poteaux d'extrémité 2 du garde-corps, situés à proximité des murs latéraux 11 auxquels il doit être fixé, les dispositifs de liaison 13 en nombre adéquat, leur mise en place en hauteur et leur bridage vis-à-vis du profilé creux 14 correspondant de chaque poteau étant réalisés par les vis 24 en passant l'outil nécessaire à travers le logement 30 de la pièce de positionnement 29.Firstly, it is mounted on the end posts 2 of the railing, located near the side walls 11 to which it must be attached, connecting devices 13 in adequate number, their implementation in height and clamping vis-à-vis the corresponding hollow section 14 of each post being made by screws 24 in passing the necessary tool through the housing 30 of the positioning piece 29.

Le garde-corps ainsi équipé est présenté dans l'ouverture 9 du gros oeuvre 10 entre les murs 11, le monteur plaquant les pièces de positionnement 29 contre les surfaces en regard de ces murs afin de rattraper les variations dimensionnelles et angulaires pouvant résulter d'un possible défaut de parallélisme ou d'orientation relative de ces deux éléments. On bloque alors la pièce de positionnement 29 sur le coulisseau 21 par l'écrou plat 27 en actionnant la vis de serrage 37.The railing thus equipped is presented in the opening 9 of the shell 10 between the walls 11, the fitter placing the positioning pieces 29 against the surfaces facing these walls in order to make up for the dimensional and angular variations that may result from a possible lack of parallelism or relative orientation of these two elements. The positioning piece 29 is then locked on the slide 21 by the flat nut 27 by actuating the clamping screw 37.

L'opération finale consiste à fixer le garde-corps 1 vis-à-vis du mur 11 par l'intermédiaire des vis 35 passant au travers des perçages 34 de la pièce 29, ainsi immobilisé dans une position parfaitement rectiligne vis-à-vis notamment du gros oeuvre 10 et de sa structure de support.The final operation is to fix the railing 1 vis-à-vis the wall 11 by means of the screws 35 passing through the holes 34 of the part 29, and immobilized in a perfectly straight position vis-à-vis in particular the shell 10 and its support structure.

On réalise ainsi un dispositif de liaison pour la fixation des poteaux de support latéraux d'un garde-corps vis-à-vis d'un mur d'appui, accommodant de façon très simple les éventuelles variations de la surface du gros oeuvre sur laquelle ce dispositif est fixé, tout en permettant une adaptation immédiate aux caractéristiques dimensionnelles de l'ouvrage, le blocage du coulisseau sur la pièce de positionnement avant immobilisation finale de celle-ci assurant une parfaite rigidité du montage.A connection device is thus made for fixing the lateral support posts of a railing with respect to a support wall, accommodating in a very simple manner possible variations of the surface of the structural work on which this device is fixed, while allowing immediate adaptation to the dimensional characteristics of the structure, blocking the slide on the positioning piece before final immobilization thereof ensuring a perfect rigidity of the assembly.

Bien entendu, il va de soi que l'invention ne se limite pas à l'exemple de réalisation décrit ci-dessus en référence aux dessins annexés ; elle en embrasse au contraire toutes les variantes.Of course, it goes without saying that the invention is not limited to the embodiment described above with reference to the accompanying drawings; on the contrary, it embraces all variants.
