Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de support d'un garde-corps sur une surface plane telle que, par exemple, la surface d'une dalle ou d'une terrasse.The present invention relates to a device for supporting a guardrail on a flat surface such as, for example, the surface of a slab or terrace.

D'une façon générale, on sait que pour ce type d'application, la fixation d'un garde-corps fait intervenir un élément massif ou embase reposant sur le sol et servant de support à un poteau vertical sur lequel sont fixées des barres d'appui horizontales qui constituent le garde-corps proprement dit.In general, it is known that for this type of application, the fixing of a railing involves a solid element or base resting on the ground and serving as a support for a vertical pole on which are fixed bars. horizontal supports which constitute the guardrail itself.

Pour éviter que cette structure ne puisse basculer, par exemple sous l'effet du vent ou même du poids d'une personne qui s'appuie sur le garde-corps, l'embase est reliée à un contrepoids également posé sur le sol par l'intermédiaire d'une traverse rigide.To prevent this structure can tilt, for example under the effect of wind or even the weight of a person who relies on the railing, the base is connected to a counterweight also placed on the ground by the intermediate of a rigid crossbar.

Il s'avère que les garde-corps de ce type actuellement utilisés font intervenir des ensembles embase/poteau/traverse montés en usine qui sont relativement lourds, encombrants et difficiles à transporter. Les solutions permettant un montage in situ sont quant à elles relativement coûteuses.It turns out that the railings of this type currently in use involve factory-installed base / post / bushing assemblies which are relatively heavy, bulky and difficult to transport. Solutions for in situ mounting are relatively expensive.

Par ailleurs, ces ensembles doivent être spécialement conçus dans le cas où l'on désire réaliser des garde-corps montés sur des poteaux inclinés par rapport à la verticale.Furthermore, these sets must be specially designed in the case where it is desired to make railings mounted on posts inclined relative to the vertical.

L'invention a donc plus particulièrement pour but de pallier à ces inconvénients, au moyen d'un dispositif de support, de structure relativement simple et peu coûteuse, facilement démontable et permettant la mise en place de poteaux verticaux ou inclinés par rapport à la verticale, ainsi qu'éventuellement la pose de plinthes.The invention therefore more particularly aims to overcome these disadvantages, by means of a support device, relatively simple structure and inexpensive, easily removable and allowing the establishment of vertical posts or inclined relative to the vertical as well as possibly laying skirting boards.

Pour parvenir à ce résultat, le dispositif selon l'invention comprend une embase de section transversale en forme de T inversé, cette embase comportant une aile centrale terminée dans sa partie inférieure par une aile transversale qui s'étend symétriquement, de part et d'autre de l'aile centrale, la face inférieure de cette aile transversale servant de surface d'appui au sol.To achieve this result, the device according to the invention comprises a base of inverted T-shaped cross-section, this base comprising a central wing terminated in its lower part by a transverse wing which extends symmetrically, on both sides. other of the central wing, the lower face of this transverse wing serving as a ground support surface.

Cette aile centrale comprend deux cavités, à savoir :

  • une première cavité destinée à recevoir l'extrémité inférieure d'un poteau, cette cavité étant axée perpendiculairement ou obliquement par rapport à l'aile transversale et débouchant au niveau de la face de l'aile centrale opposée à l'aile transversale, et
  • une deuxième cavité destinée à recevoir l'une des extrémités d'une traverse, et présentant en section droite une forme au moins partiellement complémentaire de celle de ladite traverse.
This central wing comprises two cavities, namely:
  • a first cavity intended to receive the lower end of a pole, this cavity being oriented perpendicularly or obliquely with respect to the transverse wing and opening at the face of the central wing opposite to the transverse wing, and
  • a second cavity for receiving one of the ends of a cross member, and having in cross section a form at least partially complementary to that of said cross.

Selon l'invention, l'embase est formée par l'assemblage de deux demi-embases comportant chacune une demi-aile centrale et une demi-aile transversale, selon un plan de fonction correspondant sensiblement au plan longitudinal de symétrie de l'embase.According to the invention, the base is formed by the assembly of two half-bases each comprising a central half-wing and a transverse half-wing, according to a plane of function substantially corresponding to the longitudinal plane of symmetry of the base.

Selon l'invention, chaque demi-embase présente au niveau dudit plan de jonction deux empreintes concaves correspondant auxdites cavités. Néanmoins, la profondeur des empreintes, mesurées perpendiculairement au plan de jonction, est inférieure à la moitié de la largeur du poteau et de la traverse, mesurée en un endroit correspondant, selon un état prédéterminé. La fixation des deux demi-embases entre elles et avec le poteau et la traverse s'effectue par vissage au moyen de vis qui s'engagent dans des couples de perçages coaxiaux réalisés dans les demi-ailes centrales, perpendiculairement au plan de jonction. Compte tenu de l'écart dimensionnel, le serrage des vis provoque une compression du poteau et de la traverse qui sont engagés dans les cavités. Cette compression assure donc une fixation efficace du poteau et de la traverse dans l'embase. Cette fixation peut être complétée par un verrouillage réalisé à l'aide de vis traversant les demi-embases pour venir s'engager (ou seulement poinçonner) dans le poteau ou la traverse.According to the invention, each half-base has at said junction plane two concave impressions corresponding to said cavities. Nevertheless, the depth of the impressions, measured perpendicular to the plane of junction, is less than half the width of the post and the cross-member, measured at a corresponding location, according to a predetermined state. Fixing the two half-bases between them and with the post and the cross-member is made by screwing by means of screws which engage in pairs of coaxial bores made in the central half-wings, perpendicularly to the junction plane. Given the dimensional difference, the tightening of the screws causes a compression of the post and the crossbar which are engaged in the cavities. This compression thus ensures effective fixing of the post and the cross member in the base. This attachment can be completed by a locking made with screws through the half-bases to engage (or only punch) in the post or the cross.

Avantageusement, la cavité de l'embase destinée à recevoir l'extrémité inférieure d'un poteau pourra être conformée de manière à pouvoir recevoir le poteau orienté dans plusieurs directions.Advantageously, the cavity of the base for receiving the lower end of a pole may be shaped so as to receive the pole oriented in several directions.

Un mode d'exécution de l'invention sera décrit ci-après, à titre d'exemple non limitatif, avec référence aux dessins annexés dans lesquels :

  • La figure 1 est une coupe verticale schématique illustrant le principe général d'un dispositif de support d'un garde-corps sur une terrasse ;
  • La figure 2 est une vue en perspective schématique montrant une embase selon l'invention en position assemblée ;
  • Les figures 3 et 4 sont des vues en perspective des deux demi-embases servant à la réalisation de l'embase de la figure 2.
One embodiment of the invention will be described below, by way of non-limiting example, with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
  • The figure 1 is a schematic vertical section illustrating the general principle of a device for supporting a railing on a terrace;
  • The figure 2 is a schematic perspective view showing a base according to the invention in assembled position;
  • The Figures 3 and 4 are perspective views of the two half-bases used for the realization of the base of the figure 2 .

Dans cet exemple illustré sur la figure 1, le garde-corps 1 se compose d'une pluralité de poteaux verticaux 2 reliés les uns aux autres par des barres d'appui horizontales 3 disposées à différents niveaux sur les poteaux 2.In this example shown on the figure 1 , the guardrail 1 consists of a plurality of vertical posts 2 connected to each other by horizontal support bars 3 arranged at different levels on the posts 2.

Chaque poteau 2 s'engage par son extrémité inférieure dans une embase 4 reposant à même la surface d'une terrasse 5.Each post 2 engages at its lower end in a base 4 resting on the same surface as a terrace 5.

Sur la face antérieure de l'embase 4 vient se fixer une plinthe 7 qui s'étend d'une embase à l'autre parallèlement aux barres d'appui 3.On the front face of the base 4 is fixed a baseboard 7 which extends from one base to the other parallel to the support bars 3.

Pour garantir la stabilité du garde-corps 1, chaque embase est reliée à un lest 8 posé sur la terrasse 5 par l'intermédiaire d'une traverse de liaison rigide 9.To guarantee the stability of the guardrail 1, each base is connected to a ballast 8 placed on the deck 5 via a rigid connecting beam 9.

Pour améliorer la sécurité du garde-corps 1, les poteaux peuvent être inclinés par rapport à l'horizontale vers le centre de la terrasse 5 selon un angle prédéterminé. Cette position se trouve illustrée en traits interrompus sur la figure 1.To improve the safety of the railing 1, the posts may be inclined relative to the horizontal towards the center of the terrace 5 at a predetermined angle. This position is illustrated in broken lines on the figure 1 .

Comme cela a été précédemment mentionné, l'invention propose une solution à la fois plus simple, moins coûteuse, facile à mettre en place et cependant plus esthétique que les solutions utilisées jusqu'ici.As previously mentioned, the invention proposes a solution that is both simpler, less expensive, easier to put in place and yet more aesthetic than the solutions used so far.

A cet effet, elle propose une embase 20 présentant à l'état assemblé une forme générale prismatique de section en T comportant une aile centrale verticale 21 et une aile transversale horizontale 22. L'aile centrale verticale 21 présente une forme sensiblement parallélépipédique présentant deux faces principales rectangulaires, deux faces latérales 23, 24 et une face supérieure 25. La largeur de ces faces latérales 23, 24 et de la face supérieure 25 est très inférieure (environ le quart) à la longueur des faces principales.For this purpose, it proposes a base 20 having in the assembled state a general prismatic T-shaped section comprising a vertical central wing 21 and a horizontal transverse wing 22. The vertical central wing 21 has a substantially parallelepipedal shape having two faces main rectangular, two side faces 23, 24 and an upper face 25. The width of these side faces 23, 24 and the upper face 25 is much smaller (about a quarter) to the length of the main faces.

L'aile transversale 22 de faible épaisseur s'étend symétriquement de part et d'autre de l'aile centrale verticale 21. Sa face inférieure de forme sensiblement carrée de côté égal à la longueur de l'aile centrale, constitue la surface d'appui de l'embase. Elle peut comprendre une série de nervurations 26 servant à éviter de possibles glissements de l'embase 20.The transverse wing 22 of small thickness extends symmetrically on either side of the vertical central wing 21. Its underside of substantially square shape of side equal to the length of the central wing, constitutes the surface of support of the base. It may comprise a series of ribs 26 serving to prevent possible sliding of the base 20.

L'aile centrale 21 comprend deux cavités, à savoir :

  • une première cavité 28 destinée à recevoir l'extrémité inférieure d'un poteau 29, cette cavité étant ici axée verticalement et débouchant dans la partie antérieure de la face supérieure 25 de l'aile centrale 21 ; cette cavité 28 présente une section rectangulaire sensiblement complémentaire de celle du poteau 29,
  • une deuxième cavité 30 destinée à recevoir l'une des extrémités d'une traverse 31 ; cette cavité 30 présente une section sensiblement rectangulaire, complémentaire de celle de la traverse 31.
The central wing 21 comprises two cavities, namely:
  • a first cavity 28 for receiving the lower end of a post 29, this cavity being here vertically oriented and opening into the front part of the upper face 25 of the central wing 21; this cavity 28 has a rectangular section substantially complementary to that of the post 29,
  • a second cavity 30 for receiving one of the ends of a cross member 31; this cavity 30 has a substantially rectangular section, complementary to that of the crossbar 31.

La face latérale antérieure 24 de l'aile centrale 21 est munie d'un élément de support et de fixation 32 d'une plinthe 33. Cet élément de support 32 présente une forme en L dont l'une des ailes 34 est fixée par son extrémité sur la face latérale 24 tandis que l'autre aile 35 s'étend parallèlement à l'aile latérale 24 à une distance correspondant sensiblement à l'épaisseur de la plinthe 33. Celle-ci est alors engagée, par sa partie inférieure, dans l'intervalle entre l'aile 35 et la face latérale 24. La fixation de la plinthe 33 peut être complétée par vissage d'une vis passant au travers de l'aile 35 pour venir s'engager dans la plinthe 33.The anterior lateral face 24 of the central wing 21 is provided with a supporting and fixing element 32 of a baseboard 33. This support element 32 has an L-shaped shape, one of the wings 34 of which is fixed by its end on the side face 24 while the other flange 35 extends parallel to the side flange 24 at a distance substantially corresponding to the thickness of the baseboard 33. The latter is then engaged, by its lower part, in the gap between the flange 35 and the side face 24. The attachment of the baseboard 33 can be completed by screwing a screw passing through the flange 35 to engage in the baseboard 33.

Conformément à l'invention, l'embase 20 est formée par l'assemblage de deux demi-embases 36, 37 selon un plan de jonction correspondant sensiblement au plan longitudinal de symétrie de l'embase 21.According to the invention, the base 20 is formed by the assembly of two half-bases 36, 37 according to a junction plane substantially corresponding to the longitudinal plane of symmetry of the base 21.

Un mode d'exécution de ces deux demi-embases est illustré sur les figures 3 et 4.One embodiment of these two half-bases is illustrated on the Figures 3 and 4 .

Dans cet exemple, chaque demi-embase 36, 37 présente au niveau dudit plan de jonction deux empreintes concaves 38, 39 correspondant respectivement aux cavités 28, 30. L'empreinte concave 39 de chacune des deux demi-embases 36, 37 correspondant à la cavité 30 présente une forme parallélépipédique présentant un fond dont la largeur correspond à celle de la traverse 31 et des côtés latéraux dont la largeur est légèrement inférieure à la demi-épaisseur de la traverse 31.In this example, each half-base 36, 37 has at said junction plane two concave impressions 38, 39 respectively corresponding to the cavities 28, 30. The concave impression 39 of each of the two half-bases 36, 37 corresponding to the cavity 30 has a parallelepipedal shape having a bottom whose width corresponds to that of the crossbar 31 and the lateral sides whose width is slightly less than half the thickness of the crossbar 31.

L'empreinte concave 38 correspondant à la cavité 28 présente un fond dont la forme résulte de la superposition de deux rectangles R1, R2 de largeur égale à celle du poteau 29, l'un de ces rectangles R2 étant axé perpendiculairement au plan de la face d'appui de l'embase 20 tandis que l'autre est orienté obliquement par rapport audit plan. Cette empreinte 38 présente des côtés latéraux dont la largeur est légèrement inférieure à la demi-épaisseur du poteau 29.The concave impression 38 corresponding to the cavity 28 has a bottom whose shape results from the superposition of two rectangles R 1 , R 2 of width equal to that of the post 29, one of these rectangles R 2 being oriented perpendicular to the plane the support face of the base 20 while the other is oriented obliquely with respect to said plane. This impression 38 has lateral sides whose width is slightly less than half the thickness of the post 29.

La forme des empreintes 38 autorise un engagement du poteau 29 selon deux orientations, à savoir : une orientation verticale et une orientation oblique par rapport à la verticale.The shape of the imprints 38 allows a commitment of the post 29 in two directions, namely: a vertical orientation and an oblique orientation relative to the vertical.

La fixation des deux demi-embases 36, 37 s'effectue par vissage à l'aide de vis 40, 41 passant dans deux perçages traversants 42, 43 prévus dans les deux demi-embases 36, 37 et venant se visser dans deux écrous respectifs non représentés.Fixing the two half-bases 36, 37 is made by screwing with screws 40, 41 passing through two through-holes 42, 43 provided in the two half-bases 36, 37 and being screwed into two respective nuts not shown.

Du fait que la largeur des cotés latéraux est inférieure à la demi-épaisseur du poteau 29 et de la traverse 31, en fin de course de vissage on obtient un serrage de l'extrémité du poteau 29 et de la traverse 31 par les deux demi-embases 36, 37. En conséquence, il subsiste un léger espace entre les plans de jonction des deux demi-embases 36, 37. C'est la raison pour laquelle l'une des demi-embases 36 est munie d'un rebord périphérique 44 légèrement en saillie par rapport au plan de jonction, qui constitue un couvre-joint permettant de masquer ledit espace.Because the width of the lateral sides is less than the half-thickness of the post 29 and the crossbar 31, at the end of the screwing stroke is obtained a clamping of the end of the post 29 and the cross member 31 by the two half -embases 36, 37. Consequently, there remains a slight gap between the junction planes of the two half-bases 36, 37. This is the reason why one of the half-bases 36 is provided with a peripheral rim 44 slightly protruding relative to the junction plane, which constitutes a joint cover for masking said space.

Comme précédemment mentionné, le verrouillage du poteau 29, de la traverse 31 et de la plinthe 33 peut être assuré au moyen de vis passant au travers de perçages appropriés réalisés dans deux demi-embases. Eventuellement, ces perçages pourront être formés ou ébauchés lors de la fabrication des demi-embases.As previously mentioned, the locking of the post 29, the crosspiece 31 and the baseboard 33 can be provided by means of screws passing through appropriate holes made in two half-bases. Optionally, these holes may be formed or rough during the manufacture of half-bases.

L'invention ne se limite pas à un mode de fabrication particulier des demi-embases 36, 37. Celles-ci pourront être réalisées en matière (plastique, métallique, voire même composite) moulée et/ou usinée. De même, les poteaux et les traverses pourront consister en des tronçons d'éléments profilés tubulaires par exemple en fer ou en aluminium.The invention is not limited to a particular embodiment of the half-bases 36, 37. These may be made of material (plastic, metal, or even composite) molded and / or machined. Similarly, the posts and sleepers may consist of sections of tubular profiled elements for example iron or aluminum.

Par ailleurs, les portions d'aile transversales 22 de l'embase qui s'étendent de part et d'autre de l'aile centrale 21 pourront comprendre des perçages 45, 46 permettant d'assurer la fixation de l'embase sur la surface de support où elle se trouve posée (dalle, terrasse) par exemple à l'aide de vis ou de goujons.Furthermore, the transverse wing portions 22 of the base which extend on either side of the central wing 21 may include holes 45, 46 for fixing the base on the surface. of support where it is placed (slab, terrace) for example using screws or studs.

    - a first cavity (28) intended to receive the lower end of a post (29), this cavity (28) being centered perpendicularly or obliquely with respect to the transverse wing (22) and opening out at the face (25) of the central wing opposite to the transverse wing (22), and
    - a second cavity (30) intended to receive one of the ends of a crosspiece (31), and cross-sectionally having a shape at least partly mating the one of said crosspiece (31),
    and in that:
    - the base (20) is formed by the assembly of two half-bases (36, 37), each including a central half-wing and a transverse half-wing according to a junction plane substantially corresponding to the longitudinal plane of symmetry of the base (20),
    - each half-base (36, 37) has at said junction plane two concave imprints (38, 39) corresponding to said cavities (28, 30) and the depth of which, measured perpendicularly to the junction plane, is less than half of the width of the post (29) and of the crosspiece (31), measured in a corresponding location,
    - the attachment of the two half-bases (36, 37) to each other and with the post (29) and the crosspiece (31) is accomplished by screwing with screws (40, 41) which engage into the pairs of coaxial bore holes (42, 43) made in the central half-wings, perpendicularly to the junction plane.
  2. The device according to claim 1,
    characterized in that the attachment of the post (29) and of the crosspiece (31) is completed by means of screws crossing at least one of the half-bases (36, 37) in order to be engaged on or in said post (29) or said crosspiece (31).
  3. The device according to one of claims 1 and 2,
    characterized in that the front side face (24) of the central wing (21) of each half-base (36, 37) is provided with an element (32) for supporting and attaching a plinth (33).
  4. The device according to claim 3,
    characterized in that said support and attachment element (32) has an L-shape, one of the wings (34) of which is attached through its free end on said side face (24) while the other wing (35) extends parallel to said side face (24) at a distance substantially corresponding to the thickness of the plinth (33), the space comprised between the wing (35) and the side face (24) being used for receiving the plinth (33).
  5. The device according to one of the preceding claims,
    characterized in that the concave imprint (38) corresponding to the cavity intended for the post (29) is conformed so as to receive the post (29) centered perpendicularly to the plane of the base or obliquely with respect to said plane.
  6. The device according to one of the preceding claims,
    characterized in that the concave imprint (38) corresponding to the cavity intended to receive the post (29) has a bottom, the shape of which results from the superposition of two rectangles (R1, R2) with a width equal to that of the post (29), one of these rectangles (R2) being centered perpendicularly to the plane of the base while the other one (R1) is obliquely oriented with respect to said plane.
  7. The device according to one of the preceding claims,
    characterized in that one of the aforesaid half-bases (36, 37) comprises a slightly protruding peripheral rim (44) with respect to the junction plane, which forms a joint cover.
  8. The device according to one of the preceding claims,
    characterized in that the transverse wing (22) portions of the base (20) which extend on either side of the central wing (21), comprise bore holes (45, 46) with which it is possible to ensure attachment of the base on the surface of the support where it is laid.
