Description

La présente invention concerne un support pour un objet à fixer sur une costière de toit en particulier mais non limitativement un tube de liumière.The present invention relates to a support for an object to be fixed on a roof curb, in particular but not exclusively a light tube.

US 2003/0200709 A1 divulgue un cadre-support selon la préamble de la revendication 1. US 2003/0200709 A1 discloses a support frame according to the preamble of claim 1.

Un tube de lumière, connu aussi sous la dénomination anglaise de skylight, est un conduit permettant de capter et de conduire la lumière du jour depuis le toit d'un bâtiment jusque dans une pièce pas ou mal éclairée située à distance de la toiture. Ce conduit de lumière peut voir son utilité dans des maisons d'habitation en traversant des combles pour éclairer un couloir ou une pièce ne disposant pas de fenêtre en façade. Ce conduit de lumière peut par exemple aussi être utilisé dans des locaux industriels insuffisamment éclairés par la lumière du jour. La technique de conduction et diffusion de lumière dans les tubes est bien connue et ne fait pas l'objet de la présente demande de brevet.A tube of light, also known by the English name of skylight, is a conduit for capturing and driving daylight from the roof of a building into a room not or poorly lit located at a distance from the roof. This light pipe can see its utility in residential houses through the attic to illuminate a corridor or a room with no window in front. This light pipe can for example also be used in industrial premises insufficiently illuminated by daylight. The technique of conduction and light scattering in the tubes is well known and is not the subject of the present patent application.

Par ailleurs, l'art antérieur connaît pour éclairer des combles ou des locaux, des fenêtres de toits, ouvrantes ou fixes, ou des structures en forme de dômes fixées sur la toiture, ces fenêtres ou ces dômes sont des systèmes d'éclairage direct de l'espace situé juste en dessous de la toiture et ne permettent pas la conduction de lumière dans une autre pièce.Furthermore, the prior art is known for illuminating attics or premises, roof windows, opening or fixed, or domed structures fixed on the roof, these windows or domes are direct lighting systems of the space just below the roof and do not allow light conduction in another room.

Le problème à résoudre est un problème de rénovation des structures à dôme pour lesquelles la partie transparente en forme de dôme est dégradée et doit être remplacée. Au lieu de la remplacer par un dôme identique, la demanderesse a pour objectif de la remplacer préférentiellement par un tube de lumière qui apporte un meilleur éclairage du local et peut guider la lumière vers un endroit différent. A la demande du client, elle peut aussi être remplacée par un autre objet, un capteur solaire ou un volet de désenfumage par exemple.The problem to be solved is a problem of renovation of dome structures for which the transparent dome-shaped part is degraded and needs to be replaced. Instead of replacing it with an identical dome, the applicant aims to replace it preferentially with a tube of light that provides better lighting of the room and can guide the light to a different place. At the request of the customer, it can also be replaced by another object, a solar collector or a smoke evacuation flap, for example.

Ce problème est résolu par l'invention qui consiste en un cadre-support selon la revendication 1.This problem is solved by the invention which consists of a support frame according to claim 1.

Le cadre-support selon l'invention peut porter plusieurs objets ou tubes de lumière en remplacement du dôme préexistant.The support frame according to the invention can carry several objects or light tubes to replace the existing dome.

On comprendra mieux l'invention à lecture de la description ci-après faite en référence aux figures annexées suivantes. Les cadres-support des figures 1, 2 et 3 ne font pas partie de l'invention, parce qu'ils ne portent pas plusieurs objets:

  • figure 1 : vue en coupe partielle d'un premier cadre-support.
  • figure 2 : vue en coupe partielle d'un deuxième cadre-support.
  • figure 3 : vue en coupe partielle d'un troisième cadre-support.
  • figure 4a et 4b : croquis montrant en coupe verticale et en vue de dessus la possibilité de soutenir plusieurs tubes de lumière au moyen d'un seul cadre de rénovation.
The invention will be better understood on reading the following description given with reference to the following appended figures. The support Figures 1, 2 and 3 do not form part of the invention, because they do not carry several objects:
  • figure 1 : partial sectional view of a first support frame.
  • figure 2 : partial sectional view of a second support frame.
  • figure 3 : partial sectional view of a third support frame.
  • Figure 4a and 4b : sketch showing in vertical section and in top view the possibility of supporting several tubes of light by means of a single frame of renovation.

On se rapporte d'abord à la figure 1.We first refer to the figure 1 .

Pour des raisons d'économie la demanderesse a choisi de conserver la structure support du dôme défectueux, et qui doit être remplacé. Cette structure support, connue dans la profession sous le nom de costière, est référencée (1) sur les figures. Elle présente la forme d'une seule paroi principale (2) verticale installée de façon étanche sur une toiture (3) par un retour approprié (4).For reasons of economy the plaintiff has chosen to keep the support structure of the defective dome, and which must be replaced. This support structure, known in the art as the curb, is referenced (1) in the figures. It has the form of a single main vertical wall (2) sealingly installed on a roof (3) by a suitable return (4).

En vue de dessus la paroi (2) a une section sensiblement carrée ou rectangulaire appelée ci-après « première section d'ouverture ».In view from above the wall (2) has a substantially square or rectangular section hereinafter referred to as "first opening section".

La paroi (2) comporte en partie haute un aileron (5) périphérique en saillie vers l'extérieur et formant appui horizontal pour un dôme transparent.The wall (2) has at the top a wing (5) outwardly projecting peripheral and forming a horizontal support for a transparent dome.

De façon à pouvoir installer un tube de lumière (6) dont la section horizontale est circulaire et de diamètre nettement inférieur à la dimension de la costière (1), la demanderesse a conçu spécialement un cadre de rénovation (7). Cette section du tube ou autre produit à installer est dénommée ci-après « deuxième section d'ouverture ».In order to be able to install a light tube (6) whose horizontal section is circular and of a diameter substantially smaller than the size of the curb (1), the Applicant has specially designed a renovation frame (7). This section of the tube or other product to be installed is hereinafter referred to as "second opening section".

Ce cadre de rénovation (7), afin de remplir sa fonction d'adaptateur doit remplir le cahier des charges suivant : sa forme périphérique externe doit s'adapter à celle de la première section, qui est carrée ou rectangulaire pour la costière (1) et posséder un moyen (8) de fixation adapté à celui de la costière.This renovation frame (7), in order to fulfill its function of adapter must fulfill the following specification: its external peripheral shape must adapt to that of the first section, which is square or rectangular for the curb (1) and have a fastening means (8) adapted to that of the curb.

Sa forme intérieure doit s'adapter à la « deuxième section », en particulier être circulaire pour s'adapter à un tube de lumière, et comporter un moyen de fixation (9) adapté à celui dudit objet ou tube. La longueur de la cheminée permet un guidage et un positionnement de l'objet ou du tube de lumière.Its inner shape must adapt to the "second section", in particular be circular to adapt to a tube of light, and include a fixing means (9) adapted to that of said object or tube. The length of the chimney allows guidance and positioning of the object or tube of light.

En plus de sa fonction d'adaptateur entre la première et la deuxième section, la demanderesse a ajouté au cadre de rénovation une fonction d'isolation thermique et phonique et une fonction de guidage du tube de lumière (6).In addition to its function as an adapter between the first and the second section, the Applicant has added to the renovation framework a function of thermal and sound insulation and a guide function of the light tube (6).

Pour rendre la fabrication la plus économique possible tout en remplissant toutes ces fonctions, la demanderesse réalise le cadre de rénovation par moulage monobloc d'un moyen de fixation périphérique (8), d'une partie centrale isolante (10), d'une cheminée (11) de guidage, d'un moyen de fixation (9) du tube disposé en extrémité de la cheminée de guidage, et non décrit ici car étant définit par le fournisseur des tubes de lumière.In order to make manufacturing as economical as possible while fulfilling all these functions, the applicant carries out the renovation framework by one-piece molding of a peripheral fastening means (8), an insulating central part (10), a chimney (11) for guiding, a fixing means (9) of the tube disposed at the end of the guide stack, and not described here because being defined by the supplier of the light tubes.

La partie centrale (10) est formée en caisson fermé avec deux parois principales distantes (10a, 10b) formant avec des parois latérales une sorte de caisson fermé dans lequel on injecte un matériau isolant (12).The central portion (10) is formed in closed box with two remote main walls (10a, 10b) forming with side walls a kind of closed box in which an insulating material (12) is injected.

La paroi supérieure (10a) de la partie centrale (10) présente une pente pour l'écoulement des eaux de pluie, la paroi inférieure (10b) peut être parallèle à la paroi (10a) (figure 1 et 2) ou non parallèle (figure 3).The upper wall (10a) of the central portion (10) has a slope for the flow of rain water, the lower wall (10b) can be parallel to the wall (10a) ( figure 1 and 2 ) or non-parallel ( figure 3 ).

La cheminée (11) s'étend sur toute l'épaisseur de la partie centrale (10) et en outre comporte une partie dépassante (11a) pour surélever l'entrée de lumière (21) du tube (6) de façon à optimiser la capture des rayons lumineux (13) dans toutes les directions.The chimney (11) extends over the entire thickness of the central portion (10) and further includes a protruding portion (11a) for elevating the light inlet (21) of the tube (6) to optimize the captures light rays (13) in all directions.

Le moyen de fixation (9) est défini par le cahier des charges de l'entreprise distributrice des tubes de lumière (6).The fastening means (9) is defined by the specifications of the distributor of the light tubes (6).

Le moyen de fixation périphérique (8) peut présenter des variantes d'exécution. Sur la variante représentée en figure 1 le moyen de fixation est composé d'un retour (14) horizontal en saillie venant s'appliquer sur l'aileron (5) de la costière (1) où il est maintenu par une série de fixations de type boulons et rivets (15) maintenant éventuellement également une cornière de finition (16) à section en L retournée.The peripheral fastening means (8) may have alternative embodiments. On the variant represented in figure 1 the fixing means is composed of a projecting horizontal return (14) coming to rest on the fin (5) of the curb (1) where it is held by a series of bolts and rivets-type fasteners (15). now possibly also a finishing angle (16) L-section returned.

Un joint d'étanchéité (17) peut être ajouté entre la cornières et le retour (14). En outre, la paroi (10b) est posée sur la paroi (2) ou au dessus d'elle.A seal (17) can be added between the brackets and the return (14). In addition, the wall (10b) is placed on the wall (2) or above it.

Sur la variante de la figure 2, la partie centrale (10) est plus basse que dans l'exemple de la figure 2 et vient s'appliquer, par une face verticale contre la paroi (2). La partie de la paroi (2) située au dessus de l'aileron (5) se trouve enserrée entre une aile verticale du moyen de fixation (8) et la face verticale (18) de la partie centrale (10).On the variant of the figure 2 , the central portion (10) is lower than in the example of the figure 2 and is applied by a vertical face against the wall (2). The portion of the wall (2) located above the fin (5) is sandwiched between a vertical flange of the fastening means (8) and the vertical face (18) of the central portion (10).

Sur la variante représentée en figure 3, la partie centrale (10) présente une paroi inférieure (10b) horizontale reposant sur des cornières de soutien (19) ajouté sur l'intérieur de la costière (1). La matière isolante peut remplir entièrement la partie centrale (10) (exemple sur la partie droite du dessin) ou partiellement (exemple sur la partie gauche du dessin).On the variant represented in figure 3 , the central portion (10) has a horizontal bottom wall (10b) resting on supporting brackets (19) added on the inside of the curb (1). The insulating material can completely fill the central part (10) (example on the right part of the drawing) or partially (example on the left part of the drawing).

Comme schématisé en figure 4 un cadre de rénovation selon l'invention peut porter, sur le même principe décrit ci-dessus, plusieurs tubes de lumière. A cet effet, on prévoit dès le moulage, une pièce monobloc avec deux, ou trois ou quatre cheminées telle que (11), chacune avec une partie dépassante (11a) comportant chacune un moyen de fixation tel que (9).As schematized in figure 4 a renovation frame according to the invention may bear, on the same principle described above, several light tubes. For this purpose, a single piece with two, or three or four chimneys such as (11), each with a protruding part (11a) each comprising a fastening means such as (9), is provided for molding.

Les figures 4a, 4b montrent à titre d'exemple un cadre-support prévu pour porter quatre tubes de lumière dont les entrées de lumière (12) sont toutes au même niveau mais dont les longueurs peuvent être différentes selon l'éloignement de la zone à éclairer par les sorties de lumière (20).The Figures 4a, 4b show by way of example a support frame intended to carry four light tubes whose light inputs (12) are all at the same level but whose lengths may be different depending on the distance from the area to be illuminated by the outputs of light (20).

Les matériaux utilisés peuvent être non limitativement :

  • résine polyester ou fibre de verre PVC, composite etc... pour la partie moulée, qui peut même être colorée.
  • laine de roche pour le matériau isolant par exemple, ou tout autre isolant thermique et/ou phonique.
  • joints silicone pour l'étanchéité.
The materials used can be without limitation:
  • polyester resin or PVC fiberglass, composite etc ... for the molded part, which can even be colored.
  • rock wool for insulating material for example, or any other thermal insulator and / or sound.
  • silicone seals for sealing.

La pente de la paroi supérieure (10a) est préférentiellement de 3,5 %, et peut être augmentée si nécessaire selon les exigences des donneurs d'ordres, clients, architectes etc...The slope of the upper wall (10a) is preferably 3.5%, and can be increased if necessary according to the requirements of the contractors, customers, architects etc ...

Le cadre de rénovation (1) peut convenir sur tout type de toiture, couvertures, bardages, pour des constructions à usage d'habitation ou à usage industriel.The renovation framework (1) can be suitable for any type of roof, roofing, cladding, for residential or industrial use.

Le cadre de rénovation peut être proposé aux professionnels de la rénovation ou aux particuliers sous forme d'une gamme de dimensions standards adaptées aux dimensions standards des costières et aux différents diamètres standards de tubes. Il peut être également fabriqué sur mesure pour des commandes spéciales / pour plusieurs tubes ou pour des dimensions hors standards ou autres cas de figure.The renovation framework can be offered to renovation professionals or individuals in the form of a range of standard dimensions adapted to the standard dimensions of the curbs and the different standard diameters of tubes. It can also be custom-made for special orders / for multiple tubes or for non-standard sizes or other situations.

A titre indicatif, les tubes de lumière les plus courants ont un diamètre de 530, 350, 250 mm. Un cadre-support pour la rénovation d'une costière aura donc des dimensions adaptées à celles de la costière (variables à titre indicatif de 600 x 400 mm à 1,40 x 1,60 m), et présentera une ou plusieurs cheminées de 530, 350, ou 250 mm de diamètre, dépassant la partie centrale d'au moins 10 cm, voire 15 cm, distants les uns des autres de 150 à 250 mm selon le diamètre des tubes assurer la rigidité du cadre-support. As an indication, the most common light tubes have a diameter of 530, 350, 250 mm. A support frame for the renovation of a curb will therefore have dimensions adapted to those of the curb (variables indicative of 600 x 400 mm to 1.40 x 1.60 m), and will present one or more chimneys of 530 , 350, or 250 mm in diameter, exceeding the central portion by at least 10 cm, or even 15 cm, spaced from each other from 150 to 250 mm depending on the diameter of the tubes ensure the rigidity of the support frame.
