Abstract

The table has a single plank with a central opening (B), and a radial cut (E) leaving from table`s peripheral beveled edge till the opening. The cut is realized by two opposite beveled edges that are separated to obtain a vertical space for passage of stem of a plant. The plank is made of a semi-rigid material e.g. Plexiglas, whose elasticity permits sufficient lateral spacing of the cut`s edges to install the plank on a pot.

Description

La présente invention concerne plus particulièrement une table amovible composée d'un plateau, pourvu d'une ouverture au centre, d'une découpe partant également du centre rejoignant le bord de la table permettant l'écartement des deux bords en vis-à-vis pour le passage de la plante ou de l'arbuste, destinée à prendre appui sur le pot de la plante ou de l'arbuste qui forme le piètement de la table.The present invention relates more particularly to a removable table consisting of a plate, provided with an opening in the center, a cutout also starting from the center joining the edge of the table allowing the separation of the two edges vis-à-vis for the passage of the plant or shrub, intended to be supported on the pot of the plant or shrub which forms the base of the table.

Dans ce domaine, il est connu du brevet français du présent demandeur, une table pour pot de plante ou d'arbuste, constituée de deux demi-plateaux distincts avec une ouverture commune à leur jointure, destinés à être placés en vis-à-vis de chacun, de sorte à constituer après juxtaposition autour du tronc, une table dont le piètement est formé par le pot. Le maintien en place étant assuré par un système de « rainure languette ».In this field, it is known from the French patent of the present applicant, a table for pot plant or shrub, consisting of two separate half-trays with an opening common to their joint, intended to be placed vis-à-vis of each, so as to constitute after juxtaposition around the trunk, a table whose base is formed by the pot. The maintenance in place being provided by a system of "tongue groove".

L'objet de la présente invention est de fournir un plateau à structure simplifiée jouant le même rôle, mais sans nécessiter la présence de deux éléments et de moyens de maintien complémentaires rapportés sous les deux demi-plateaux.The object of the present invention is to provide a simplified structure plate playing the same role, but without requiring the presence of two elements and complementary holding means reported under the two half-plates.

D'une façon plus précise, l'invention vise un plateau unique avec une découpe (partant de l'espace central nécessaire pour le passage d'un tronc d'arbuste ou d'une plante et allant jusqu'au bord du plateau) est réalisée de façon que les deux parties ainsi matérialisées puissent s'écarter et revenir en position initiale bord à bord.More specifically, the invention aims at a single plateau with a cut-out (starting from the central space necessary for the passage of a trunk of a shrub or a plant and going to the edge of the plateau). made so that the two parts thus materialized can deviate and return to the initial position edge to edge.

Les particularités de l'invention résident dans le matériau employé pour la fabrication et l'ouverture préférentiellement centrale, laissant libre l'espace pour le passage d'un tronc d'arbuste.The peculiarities of the invention reside in the material used for the manufacture and preferentially central opening, leaving free space for the passage of a shrub trunk.

Ce matériau est de type semi-rigide pour constituer un plateau présentant une rigidité suffisante pour la réalisation d'une table et flexible pour permettre l'écartement des deux bords de la fente reliant le bord périphérique à l'orifice central.This material is semi-rigid type to form a tray having sufficient rigidity for the production of a table and flexible to allow the spacing of the two edges of the slot connecting the peripheral edge to the central orifice.

La flexibilité du matériau étant une donnée importante pour la réalisation de la table. Il serait conseillé d'employer de préférence (non-limitative) du liège, carton, bois stratifié, plastique...

  • La Figure 1 est une perspective schématique du plateau dont les bords de la fente radiale sont écartés (ouverts).
  • La Figure 2 est une vue illustrant le principe d'utilisation du plateau en position.
  • La Figure 3 est une vue illustrant le dessus du plateau.
  • La Figure 4 est une perspective schématique au moment du passage du tronc.
Tel que, représenté sur la figure I :The flexibility of the material being an important data for the realization of the table. It would be advisable to use preferably (non-limiting) cork, cardboard, laminated wood, plastic ...
  • Figure 1 is a schematic perspective of the plate whose edges of the radial slot are spaced (open).
  • Figure 2 is a view illustrating the principle of use of the plate in position.
  • Figure 3 is a view illustrating the top of the tray.
  • Figure 4 is a schematic perspective at the time of trunk passage.
As shown in Figure I:

La table (A) réalisée, pour l'exemple, en liège (non-limitatif) pourvu d'une ouverture centrale (B), d'où part une découpe radiale (E) rejoignant l'extrémité périphérique de la table, matérialisé par les bords (C) et (D) en vis-à-vis en position écartée. On obtient par déformation du plateau, en écartant les bords, un écartement vertical suffisant pour permettre le passage du tronc d'une plante, jusqu'à l'orifice central. Le tronc va alors assurer le maintien du plateau autour de celui-ci, après relâchement de la contrainte de déformation, le plateau reprend une forme plane pour constituer une table après mise en appui de la surface inférieure du plateau sur les bords supérieurs du pot.The table (A) produced, for the example, cork (non-limiting) provided with a central opening (B), from which a radial cut (E) joins the peripheral end of the table, materialized by the edges (C) and (D) vis-à-vis in the separated position. By deformation of the plate, by removing the edges, a vertical separation sufficient to allow the passage of the trunk of a plant to the central orifice. The trunk will then maintain the tray around it, after relaxation of the deformation stress, the tray takes a flat shape to form a table after bearing the lower surface of the tray on the upper edges of the pot.

Pour obtenir une élasticité suffisante, permettant au plateau de reprendre sa forme plane après déformation verticale des bords (C) et (D) de la fente, il convient de prévoir une épaisseur suffisante de la matière semi-rigide. Elle peut varier de 1 à 3 mm minimum dans le cas d'une matière plastique telle que « le plexiglas » Ⓡ, à environ 5 mm dans le cas de carton ondulé ou de bois de type contreplaqué, où les fibres de bois seront de préférence orientées dans un sens perpendiculaire à la direction de la fente, et jusqu'à 3 cm dans certain cas, comme le liège.To obtain sufficient elasticity, allowing the plate to return to its flat shape after vertical deformation of the edges (C) and (D) of the slot, it is necessary to provide a sufficient thickness of the semi-rigid material. It can vary from 1 to 3 mm minimum in the case of a plastic material such as "Plexiglas" Ⓡ, to about 5 mm in the case of corrugated board or plywood type wood, where the wood fibers are preferably oriented in a direction perpendicular to the direction of the slot, and up to 3 cm in some cases, such as cork.

Ce plateau peut être réalisé en complexe de matériaux superposés, par exemple de type stratifié avec des matériaux de natures différentes ou de même nature mais de caractéristiques différentes.This plate can be made of a complex of superimposed materials, for example laminated with materials of different natures or of the same nature but different characteristics.

Dans le cas de matériaux pouvant définir en bordure des arêtes coupantes, il pourra être prévu de réaliser au niveau de cette arête, notamment celle de l'orifice central (pour ne pas blesser le tronc de la plante) ou celle qui est sur le bord extérieur, un chanfrein ou un arrondi en partie supérieure et inférieure.In the case of materials that can define edges of sharp edges, it may be expected to achieve at this edge, including that of the central hole (not to hurt the trunk of the plant) or that is on the edge outside, a chamfer or a rounded upper and lower part.

Concernant l'orifice central, celui-ci doit avoir un diamètre suffisant pour correspondre à plusieurs cas d'utilisation, ainsi une valeur de 8 cm d'ouverture est bien adaptée. La fente est de préférence disposée de façon radiale à celui-ci pour dégager lors du passage d'un tronc amené de l'extérieur jusqu'à l'orifice.Regarding the central orifice, it must have a diameter sufficient to correspond to several use cases, and a value of 8 cm opening is well suited. The slot is preferably arranged radially thereon to clear during the passage of a trunk brought from the outside to the orifice.

Les bords des découpes supérieures et inférieures de l'orifice central (B) et le bord périphérique peuvent être chanfreinés ou arrondis pour ne pas blesser le tronc de la plante, à l'extérieur des bords de la découpe radiale pour ne pas rendre trop apparente cette découpe.The edges of the upper and lower cutouts of the central hole (B) and the peripheral edge may be chamfered or rounded to avoid injuring the trunk of the plant, outside the edges of the radial cut so as not to make it too conspicuous this cut.

Le diamètre de la table (A) peut par exemple être celui de 60 cm, découpe réalisée par lame de cutter ou découpe à l'emporte-pièce pour les plastiques.The diameter of the table (A) may for example be that of 60 cm, cut by cutter blade or die-cutting for plastics.
