Description

Objet de l'inventionObject of the invention

La présente invention concerne un dispositif permettant de tendre un support publicitaire, tel qu'une toile, en extérieur.The present invention relates to a device for stretching an advertising medium, such as a canvas, outdoors.

Arrière-plan technologiqueTechnological background

Un très grand nombre de systèmes permettent de supporter des éléments publicitaires de grande ou de très grande taille. On peut citer à titre d'exemples les systèmes décrits dans les documents US-A-5,507,109 , FR-2 674 357 , et FR-2 622 332 .A very large number of systems make it possible to support advertising elements of large or very large size. Examples are the systems described in the documents US Patent 5,507,109 , FR-2 674 357 , and FR-2 622 332 .

Par grande taille, on entend des supports publicitaires se présentant sous la forme d'images imprimées sur des toiles et présentant une surface de 5 à 30m2.Large size means advertising media in the form of images printed on canvas and having an area of 5 to 30m 2 .

Actuellement, la Demanderesse propose déjà deux types de produits permettant le maintien et la fixation de tels supports publicitaires.Currently, the Applicant already offers two types of products for maintaining and fixing such advertising media.

Un premier type de dispositifs est destiné à des applications en intérieur et comprend classiquement un cadre défini par quatre montants : deux montants latéraux, un montant supérieur et un montant inférieur. Chacun de ces montants est constitué par deux tubes parallèles réalisés en un matériau adéquat, reliés entre eux par une série d'entretoises disposées en diagonale entre les deux tubes, de manière à réaliser un plan pour chaque montant. Ces tubes peuvent présenter bien entendu une section circulaire, mais tout autre type de section, tel qu'une section de type carré
ou de type triangulaire, est également envisageable. De même, les entretoises sont de préférence à section circulaire, mais d'autres types de section peuvent également être envisageables pour ces entretoises. De manière particulièrement avantageuse, les tubes sont des tubes creux réalisés en aluminium, tandis que les entretoises peuvent être des entretoises pleines ou creuses. Ces entretoises sont solidarisées aux tubes parallèles par des techniques adéquates, telles que la soudure ou le boulonnage.A first type of device is intended for indoor applications and conventionally comprises a frame defined by four amounts: two lateral uprights, a higher amount and a lower amount. Each of these amounts consists of two parallel tubes made of a suitable material, interconnected by a series of spacers arranged diagonally between the two tubes, in order to make a plan for each amount. These tubes may of course have a circular section, but any other type of section, such as a square type section
or triangular type, is also possible. Similarly, the spacers are preferably circular section, but other types of section may also be possible for these spacers. Particularly advantageously, the tubes are hollow tubes made of aluminum, while the spacers may be solid or hollow spacers. These spacers are secured to the parallel tubes by suitable techniques, such as welding or bolting.

Habituellement, ce type de produits est soit directement accroché ou suspendu à des surfaces murales, soit muni d'une assise pour être maintenu sur un sol à niveau, tel que l'on en conçoit dans la plupart des bâtiments.Usually, this type of product is either directly hung or suspended on wall surfaces, or has a seat to be maintained on a level floor, as is conceived in most buildings.

Un autre type de produits développé par la Demanderesse consiste à proposer, mais cette fois-ci en extérieur, un dispositif de maintien et de fixation d'un tel support publicitaire. Comparativement au premier type de dispositifs de la Demanderesse, ce dispositif comprend, comme le premier type de dispositif, un cadre dont chaque montant comprend des tubes parallèles, mais le nombre de tubes parallèles par montant est augmenté. Plus précisément, dans ce type de produits, chaque montant comprend trois ou quatre tubes parallèles qui sont reliés deux à deux par des entretoises. Il est en outre prévu pour les applications en extérieur qu'au moins les montants latéraux soient fixés de manière permanente au sol, par exemple en coulant les extrémités desdits montants latéraux dans une dalle en béton.Another type of product developed by the Applicant is to propose, but this time outside, a device for holding and fixing such an advertising medium. Compared to the first type of devices of the Applicant, this device comprises, as the first type of device, a frame of which each amount comprises parallel tubes, but the number of parallel tubes per amount is increased. More specifically, in this type of product, each amount comprises three or four parallel tubes which are connected in pairs by spacers. It is further provided for outdoor applications that at least the lateral uprights are permanently fixed to the ground, for example by casting the ends of said lateral uprights into a concrete slab.

Ce deuxième type de dispositifs présente comme avantage, par rapport au premier type de dispositifs d'être capable de résister à des vents ayant des vitesses allant jusqu'à 120 km/h, du fait de l'augmentation du nombre de tubes, et donc d'entretoises. Néanmoins, ce deuxième type de dispositifs présente aussi comme inconvénients qu'ils sont plus lourds et plus coûteux à réaliser que le premier type de dispositifs. En effet, ceci est dû au fait qu'un dispositif dont les montants comprennent chacun trois tubes présente en effet trois fois plus d'entretoises qu'un dispositif dont les montants ne comprennent chacun que deux tubes.This second type of device has the advantage, compared to the first type of device to be able to withstand winds with speeds up to 120 km / h, due to the increase in the number of tubes, and therefore spacers. Nevertheless, this second type of device also has the drawbacks that they are heavier and more expensive to produce than the first type of device. Indeed, this is due to the fact that a device whose amounts each comprise three tubes in fact has three times more spacers than a device whose amounts each include only two tubes.

Le document JP-A-2004/191578 , qui est considéré comme l'état de la technique le plus proche, décrit un support publicitaire allégé et résistant aux agents atmosphériques qui est composé de deux cadres identiques dont l'un est placé en avant et l'autre en arrière. Des barres disposées perpendiculairement au plan des cadres relient les deux cadres aux quatre coins, et selon la taille du support, également au milieu des montants des cadres. Il en résulte une structure solide qui est fixée au sol par un tube de grande taille relié à la partie inférieure de la structure, entre les deux cadres. Ce support présente néanmoins des inconvénients: le montage prend beaucoup de temps et le tube doit être fixé solidement au sol.The document JP-A-2004/191578 , which is considered to be the closest state of the art, describes a lightened and weather-resistant advertising medium which is composed of two identical frames, one of which is placed in front and the other behind. Bars arranged perpendicularly to the plane of the frames connect the two frames to the four corners, and according to the size of the support, also in the middle of the amounts of the frames. This results in a solid structure which is fixed to the ground by a large tube connected to the lower part of the structure, between the two frames. This support nevertheless has disadvantages: the assembly takes a lot of time and the tube must be firmly fixed to the ground.

Le document US-A-4,325,197 décrit quant à lui un support publicitaire pour l'intérieur, très facile à installer, comprenant un cadre composé d'une barre par montant. Ce cadre est en outre équipé de deux barres, chacune de ces barres étant située à l'une des extrémités inférieures disposées perpendiculairement au plan du cadre et assurant une fonction d'assise. La stabilité de la structure est améliorée par des bracons reliant les barres d'assise au montant latéral correspondant. Malheureusement, ce support n'est utilisable qu'en intérieur, étant donné la fragilité du cadre dans son ensemble, le moyen de fixation de la toile et l'absence de moyens de fixation des barres d'assise au sol.The document US Patent 4,325,197 describes an advertising medium for the interior, very easy to install, including a frame consisting of a bar for each amount. This frame is also equipped with two bars, each of these bars being located at one of the lower ends disposed perpendicularly to the plane of the frame and providing a seating function. The stability of the structure is improved by bridges connecting the seat bars to the corresponding lateral amount. Sadly, this support is usable only inside, given the fragility of the frame as a whole, the fastening means of the fabric and the absence of means for fixing the seat bars to the ground.

Buts de l'inventionGoals of the invention

La présente invention vise à résoudre et à proposer une solution perfectionnée au problème de l'état de la technique.The present invention aims to solve and propose an improved solution to the problem of the state of the art.

La présente invention vise donc à proposer une solution qui esthétiquement se rapproche du dispositif proposé pour des applications en intérieur, mais qui présente des qualités de résistance au vent et de solidité suffisantes pour être disposée en extérieur.The present invention therefore aims to provide a solution that aesthetically approximates the device proposed for indoor applications, but has wind resistance qualities and sufficient strength to be disposed outdoors.

La présente invention vise également à proposer une solution qui présente un poids allégé par rapport aux solutions actuellement fournies pour des applications en extérieur.The present invention also aims at providing a solution that has a lighter weight compared to solutions currently provided for outdoor applications.

Accessoirement, la présente invention vise également à proposer un dispositif qui présente des qualités de montage et d'installation rapide et efficace.Incidentally, the present invention also aims to provide a device that has mounting qualities and quick and efficient installation.

La présente invention vise également à proposer une solution qui puisse être appliquée à tout type d'assise : sol meuble, béton, ...The present invention also aims to propose a solution that can be applied to any type of seat: soft ground, concrete, ...

Principaux éléments caractéristiquesMain characteristic elements

Ces moyens de stabilisation comprennent deux éléments d'appui disposés chacun au pied d'un des montants latéraux, perpendiculairement au plan du cadre.The present invention relates to a device for holding and fixing an advertising medium, for example in the form of a canvas, this outside, conventionally comprising a frame defined by four uprights, two lateral uprights, a upper amount and a lower amount, each of said amounts consisting of at least two parallel tubes interconnected by spacers, said holding device being characterized in that it comprises stabilizing means. These stabilizing means comprise two support elements each arranged at the foot of one of the lateral uprights, perpendicularly to the plane of the frame.

Chaque élément d'appui se présente sous la forme d'au moins deux tubes ou barres parallèles reliés entre eux par des entretoises.Each support element is in the form of at least two parallel tubes or bars interconnected by spacers.

Les moyens de stabilisation sont conçus de manière telle que le dispositif est apte à résister aux forces exercées par les intempéries, et en particulier par le vent.The stabilizing means are designed in such a way that the device is able to withstand the forces exerted by the weather, and in particular by the wind.

En d'autres termes, les moyens de stabilisation sont conçus et disposés par rapport au cadre du dispositif de manière à assumer une fonction de résistance aux intempéries, et notamment au vent.In other words, the stabilizing means are designed and arranged relative to the frame of the device so as to assume a function of weather resistance, including wind.

De préférence, chacun des montants et chaque élément d'appui se présente sous la forme de deux tubes ou barres parallèles.Preferably, each of the uprights and each support element is in the form of two parallel tubes or bars.

Description détaillée d'une forme d'exécutionDetailed description of a form of execution

La figure 1 illustre une forme préférée d'exécution du dispositif pour le maintien et la fixation d'un support publicitaire selon l'invention, destiné à être utilisé en extérieur.The figure 1 illustrates a preferred embodiment of the device for holding and fixing an advertising medium according to the invention for use outdoors.

Ainsi qu'illustré sur la figure 1, le dispositif comprend de manière classique un cadre 1 défini par quatre montants, deux montants latéraux 2,3, un montant supérieur et un montant inférieur 5.As illustrated on the figure 1 , the device conventionally comprises a frame 1 defined by four uprights, two lateral uprights 2,3, an upper upright and a lower upright 5.

Pour des raisons de clarté, seule la partie inférieure du cadre en connexion avec les moyens de stabilisation 100, 100' situés à la base du cadre 1 sont représentés.For the sake of clarity, only the lower part of the frame in connection with the stabilizing means 100, 100 'located at the base of the frame 1 are shown.

Chacun des montants 2,3,5 du cadre 1 est constitué de deux tubes parallèles 6,7 réalisés en un matériau adéquat et reliés entre eux par des entretoises 8,8'. On entend par matériau adéquat un matériau qui présente des propriétés de résistance mécanique et de poids compatibles avec les applications du dispositif tout en permettant une minimisation de son coût de réalisation.Each of the posts 2,3,5 of the frame 1 consists of two parallel tubes 6,7 made of a suitable material and interconnected by spacers 8,8 '. By suitable material is meant a material which has mechanical strength and weight properties compatible with the applications of the device while allowing a minimization of its cost of production.

Le dispositif de maintien selon l'invention comprend ainsi des moyens de stabilisation de la base du cadre. Ces moyens de stabilisation portent les repères généraux 100 et 100'. Ils sont conçus et disposés par rapport au cadre 1 de manière telle que le dispositif est apte à résister aux forces exercées par les intempéries, et en particulier par le vent.The holding device according to the invention thus comprises means for stabilizing the base of the frame. These stabilization means carry the general references 100 and 100 '. They are designed and arranged relative to the frame 1 in such a way that the device is able to withstand the forces exerted by the weather, and in particular by the wind.

Ces moyens de stabilisation de la base du cadre 100,100' sont disposés au pied de chacun des montants latéraux 2, 3 du cadre 1.These means of stabilizing the base of the frame 100, 100 'are arranged at the foot of each of the lateral uprights 2, 3 of the frame 1.

Ces moyens de stabilisation 100, 100' comprennent notamment deux éléments d'appui 9 et 9' disposés chacun au pied d'un des montants latéraux 2 (pour l'élément d'appui 9) ou 3 (pour l'élément d'appui 9') du cadre 1.These stabilizing means 100, 100 'comprise in particular two support elements 9 and 9' each arranged at the foot of one of the lateral uprights 2 (for the support element 9) or 3 (for the support element 9 ') of the box 1.

De manière générale, chaque élément d'appui 9, respectivement 9' se présente sous la forme d'au moins un tube ou une barre 11, respectivement 11', qui s'étend perpendiculairement au plan du cadre 1.In general, each support element 9 and 9 'is in the form of at least one tube or a bar 11, respectively 11 ', which extends perpendicularly to the plane of the frame 1.

Avantageusement, comme le montre la figure 1, chaque élément d'appui 9,9', se présente sous la forme de deux tubes ou barres qui sont indiqués sur la figure 1 par les repères 11,13 pour le premier élément 9 et par les repères 11',13' pour le deuxième élément 9'. Ces deux tubes
ou barres 11,13 d'une part et 11',13' d'autre part sont avantageusement parallèles et reliés entre eux par des entretoises 14 , 14' , ... d'une part et 15 , 15' , ... d'autre part.Advantageously, as shown in figure 1 each support element 9, 9 'is in the form of two tubes or bars which are indicated on the figure 1 by the marks 11,13 for the first element 9 and by the marks 11 ', 13' for the second element 9 '. These two tubes
or bars 11,13 on the one hand and 11 ', 13' on the other hand are advantageously parallel and interconnected by spacers 14, 14 ', ... on the one hand and 15, 15', ... on the other hand.

Selon l'invention, ainsi qu'illustré sur la figure 1, et plus en détail sur la figure 2 en ce qui concerne le moyen de stabilisation 100, chaque moyen de stabilisation 100, respectivement 100', comprend en outre au moins un élément de jonction 10 qui permet de relier un des éléments d'appui 9, respectivement 9', à la partie inférieure du cadre 1. Chaque élément de jonction 10, comme on peut le voir sur la figure 2 pour le moyen de stabilisation 100, comprend des branchements ou connecteurs 22,23,24,25,... qui s'étendent dans les trois directions de l'espace et grâce auxquels il assure sa fonction de liaison entre l'élément d'appui 9 ou 9', un des montants latéraux 2
ou 3 du cadre 1, et le montant inférieur 5 du cadre 1.According to the invention, as illustrated on the figure 1 , and in more detail on the figure 2 with regard to the stabilizing means 100, each stabilizing means 100, respectively 100 ', further comprises at least one connecting element 10 which makes it possible to connect one of the support elements 9, 9' respectively, to the lower part of the frame 1. Each junction element 10, as can be seen on the figure 2 for the stabilizing means 100, comprises connections or connectors 22,23,24,25, ... which extend in the three directions of the space and by means of which it performs its function of connection between the element of support 9 or 9 ', one of the side supports 2
or 3 of the frame 1, and the lower amount 5 of the frame 1.

Comme le montrent les figures 1 et 2, dans la version à deux barres ou tubes, 1 lesdits branchements 22,23,24,25 de l'élément de jonction 10 sont disposés dans le plan du cadre.As shown by figures 1 and 2 , in the version with two bars or tubes, 1 said connections 22,23,24,25 of the connecting element 10 are arranged in the plane of the frame.

Par ailleurs, à chacun des tubes ou barres 6,7 au niveau du montant latéral 2 du cadre 1 et à chacun des tubes 54,55 au niveau du montant inférieur 5 du cadre 1, correspond au niveau de l'élément de jonction 10 un tube ou une barre 101,102,103 et 104 . Ainsi, les barres 101 et 102 sont parallèles l'une par rapport à l'autre, les barres 103 et 104 sont parallèles l'une par rapport à l'autre. C'est précisément à une des extrémités de ces tubes ou barres 101,102,103,104 que sont situés les branchements 22,23,24,25, qui permettent la liaison entre l'élément d'appui 9, le montant latéral 2, et le montant inférieur 5.Moreover, each of the tubes or bars 6, 7 at the lateral upright 2 of the frame 1 and at each of the tubes 54, 55 at the lower upright 5 of the frame 1, corresponds to the level of the connecting element 10. tube or bar 101,102,103 and 104. Thus, the bars 101 and 102 are parallel to each other, the bars 103 and 104 are parallel to each other. It is precisely at one end of these tubes 101,102,103,104 that are located the connections 22,23,24,25, which allow the connection between the support element 9, the lateral amount 2, and the lower amount 5 .

On doit donc comprendre que les tubes ou barres 101,102,103,104 sont situées dans le prolongement des tubes ou barres 6,7 du montant latéral 2 et des tubes ou barres 54,55 du montant inférieur 5 à partir des branchements 22,23,24,25 jusqu'à l'élément d'appui 9. Les tubes ou barres parallèles 101 et 102 relient respectivement les branchements 25 et 24 à l'élément d'appui 9. Les tubes ou barres parallèles 103 et 104 relient respectivement les branchements 23 et 22 à l'élément d'appui 9.It should therefore be understood that the tubes 101,102,103,104 are located in the extension of the tubes or bars 6,7 of the lateral upright 2 and the tubes or bars 54,55 of the lower upright 5 from the connections 22,23,24,25 up to The parallel tubes or bars 101 and 102 respectively connect the connections 25 and 24 to the support element 9. The parallel tubes or bars 103 and 104 connect the connections 23 and 22, respectively, to the support element 9. support element 9.

Il en est de même pour l'élément de jonction 10 situé au niveau du moyen de stabilisation 100' et qui permet de relier l'élément d'appui 9', le montant latéral 3 et le montant inférieur 5 du cadre 1.It is the same for the connecting element 10 located at the level of the stabilizing means 100 'and which makes it possible to connect the support element 9', the lateral upright 3 and the lower upright 5 of the frame 1.

Avantageusement, chaque moyen de stabilisation 100, 100' comprend en outre, au niveau des branchements 22, 23, 24, 25, des éléments de renforcement 21 qui relient deux à deux les tubes ou barres parallèles 101, 102 d'une part et 103, 104 d'autre part.Advantageously, each stabilizing means 100, 100 'further comprises, at the level of the connections 22, 23, 24, 25, reinforcing elements 21 which connect the parallel tubes or bars 101, 102 on the one hand and 103 , 104 on the other hand.

Les montants 2, 3 et 5 sont également avantageusement équipés d'éléments de renforcement 21 au niveau des branchements.The uprights 2, 3 and 5 are also advantageously equipped with reinforcing elements 21 at the connections.

On peut noter que dans l'invention, les éléments de jonction 10 sont adaptés à la forme que prennent les éléments d'appui 9,9', c'est-à-dire à la version une ou deux barres évoquée plus haut et que selon cette forme, chaque élément d'appui 9,9' est connecté à un élément de jonction 10, soit au niveau d'un point d'intersection 12 dans la version à une barre ou au niveau de deux points d'intersection 12 et 17 dans la version à deux barres.It may be noted that in the invention, the junction elements 10 are adapted to the shape of the support elements 9, 9 ', that is to say to the one or two-bar version mentioned above and that in this form, each support element 9, 9 'is connected to a joining element 10, ie at a point of intersection 12 in the one-bar version or at two intersection points 12 and 17 in the two-bar version.

On doit comprendre que dans le dispositif de maintien et de fixation selon l'invention chaque ensemble de deux barres 6 et 7 ; 11 et 13 ; 11' et 13' reliées par des entretoises constitue un plan.It should be understood that in the holding and fixing device according to the invention each set of two bars 6 and 7; 11 and 13; 11 'and 13' connected by spacers constitutes a plane.

Par ailleurs, comme le montre la figure 1, dans le dispositif selon l'invention les moyens de stabilisation 100,100' comprennent avantageusement des éléments dits « éléments d'équerre » 18 , 18' , 18 " , 18 " ' conçus pour renforcer l'ensemble du dispositif dans les plans perpendiculaires au plan dans lequel se situent le cadre 1 et le support publicitaire en place sur le dispositif, et former ainsi un jeu d'équerres dans ces deux directions.Moreover, as shown in figure 1 in the device according to the invention, the stabilizing means 100, 100 'advantageously comprise so-called "angle elements" 18, 18', 18 ", 18"'designed to reinforce the entire device in the planes perpendicular to the plane in which are the frame 1 and the advertising medium in place on the device, and thus form a set of brackets in these two directions.

Ainsi, l'élément d'équerre 18, se présentant sous la forme d'un bracon, relie le tube 101 de l'élément de jonction 10 à l'élément d'appui 9. En outre, l'élément d'équerre 18" relie le tube 104 de l'élément de jonction 10 à l'élément d'appui 9. Lesdits éléments d'équerre renforcent la liaison entre les éléments de jonction 10 et les éléments d'appui 9,9'.Thus, the angle element 18, in the form of a bracon, connects the tube 101 of the connecting element 10 to the support element 9. In addition, the bracket member 18 "connects the tube 104 of the connecting element 10 to the support element 9. Said brackets reinforce the connection between the connecting elements 10 and the support elements 9,9 '.
