Description

1. Domaine de l'invention1. Field of the invention

Le domaine de l'invention est celui de la protection périmétrique de sites par des clôtures.The field of the invention is that of the perimeter protection of sites by fences.

Plus précisément, l'invention concerne un dispositif d'occultation à rapporter sur une clôture, le dispositif étant destiné à isoler visuellement l'espace à l'intérieur du périmètre délimité par la clôture de celui à l'extérieur de ce périmètre.More specifically, the invention relates to a concealment device to report on a fence, the device being intended to visually isolate the space inside the perimeter delimited by the fence of the outside of this perimeter.

L'invention s'applique notamment, mais non exclusivement, à la réalisation de clôtures de maisons particulières, de terrains d'entreprise, ... .The invention applies in particular, but not exclusively, to the realization of fences of private houses, corporate land, ....

2. État de l'art antérieur et inconvénients2. State of the prior art and disadvantages

Pour empêcher de voir à travers une clôture, il est connu de mettre en oeuvre des claies formées de canisses réalisées avec des matériaux naturels comme le roseau ou le bambou ou des brandes naturelles. De telles claies et brandes sont solidarisées sur les panneaux d'une clôture par des éléments de fixation de type fils de fer ou colliers plastiques. La pose de claies ou de brandes nécessite la mise en oeuvre d'un nombre important d'éléments de fixation ce qui rend le montage et le démontage de tels dispositifs long et laborieux. En outre, les matériaux utilisés pour leur fabrication vieillissent très mal ce qui implique la nécessité de remplacer les claies et les brandes de manière fréquente. Par ailleurs, leur solidarisation par du fil de fer n'est pas très solide. Ainsi lors de fortes intempéries, les claies et les brandes peuvent se désolidariser de la clôture.To prevent seeing through a fence, it is known to implement trays formed of canisses made with natural materials such as reed or bamboo or natural brandies. Such racks and brandes are secured to the panels of a fence by fastening elements of the type of wire or plastic collars. The installation of trays or brandes requires the implementation of a large number of fasteners which makes the assembly and disassembly of such devices long and laborious. In addition, the materials used for their manufacture age very poorly which implies the need to replace the racks and brandes frequently. Moreover, their solidarization by wire is not very solid. Thus during severe weather, racks and brandes can separate from the fence.

Il est aussi connu de mettre en oeuvre des lattes en bois ou en PVC qui sont accrochées sur les panneaux de clôture.. Les lattes sont mises en place sur la clôture une par une, rendant la mise en oeuvre de ces dispositifs longue et fastidieuse.It is also known to implement wooden slats or PVC that are hung on the fence panels .. The slats are put in place on the fence one by one, making the implementation of these devices long and tedious.

Un autre dispositif d'occultation connu met en oeuvre des toiles d'occultation en PVC présentant sur leur pourtour une pluralité d'oeillets qui permettent de fixer les toiles à la clôture à l'aide de S en inox ou colliers plastiques. Ces toiles viennent recouvrir la clôture. Leur mise en place est facilitée mais elle nécessite toujours la manipulation d'un grand nombre d'éléments de fixation, S ou colliers, pour que la toile soit solidarisée à la clôture.Another known occultation device uses PVC blackout cloths having on their periphery a plurality of eyelets which allow the canvases to be fastened to the fence with the aid of S stainless steel or plastic collars. These canvases cover the fence. Their implementation is facilitated but it still requires the handling of a large number of fasteners, S or collars, so that the fabric is secured to the fence.

En outre, sous l'effet du temps et des intempéries, la toile de PVC se déforme et le recouvrement du panneau de clôture par la toile n'est plus optimal.In addition, under the effect of weather and weather, the PVC fabric is deformed and the covering of the fence panel by the fabric is no longer optimal.

3. Objectifs de l'invention3. Objectives of the invention

L'invention a pour objectif de pallier les inconvénients de l'art antérieur.The invention aims to overcome the disadvantages of the prior art.

Plus précisément, un objectif de l'invention, est de fournir un dispositif d'occultation qui permette de simplifier davantage sa mise en oeuvre sur une clôture et de diminuer son temps de montage et de démontage sur la clôture.More precisely, an object of the invention is to provide a concealment device that makes it possible to further simplify its implementation on a fence and to reduce its assembly and dismantling time on the fence.

Un autre objectif de l'invention, dans au moins un de ses modes de réalisation, est notamment de fournir un tel dispositif qui permette d'améliorer la fixation de la toile sur la clôture.Another objective of the invention, in at least one of its embodiments, is in particular to provide such a device which makes it possible to improve the fixing of the fabric on the fence.

Un autre objectif de l'invention, dans au moins un de ses modes de réalisation, est de fournir un tel dispositif qui puisse être fabriqué et mis en oeuvre de façon peu onéreuse.Another object of the invention, in at least one of its embodiments, is to provide such a device that can be manufactured and implemented inexpensively.

4. Exposé de l'invention4. Presentation of the invention

Ces objectifs, ainsi que d'autres qui apparaîtront par la suite, sont atteints à l'aide d'un dispositif d'occultation d'un panneau de clôture formé par un treillis de brins verticaux et horizontaux.These objectives, as well as others that will appear later, are achieved by means of a device for concealing a fence panel formed by a lattice of vertical and horizontal strands.

Selon l'invention, le dispositif d'occultation comprend une toile d'occultation pourvue :

  • d'un élément supérieur de fixation destiné à fixer la toile au haut du panneau,
  • d'un élément inférieur de fixation destiné à fixer la toile au bas du panneau ;
l'élément supérieur de fixation comprenant une lisse de retenue apte à être clippée sur le haut d'un panneau et l'élément inférieur de fixation comprenant des moyens de mise en tension de la toile sur le panneau.According to the invention, the occultation device comprises a blanking cloth provided with:
  • an upper fixing element for fixing the fabric to the top of the panel,
  • a lower fixing member for fixing the fabric to the bottom of the panel;
the upper fastening element comprising a retaining bar capable of being clipped onto the top of a panel and the lower fixing element comprising means for tensioning the fabric on the panel.

La lisse de retenue est apte à clipper le haut du panneau. On entend par là que la lisse est élastiquement déformable de telle sorte que la lisse est apte à être légèrement déformée pour accueillir l'arête haute du panneau de clôture, tandis que, une fois en place, la lisse de retenue est apte à se fixer sur l'arête haute du panneau de clôture en venant se resserrer sur celle-ci.The retaining bar is able to clip the top of the panel. By this is meant that the arm is elastically deformable so that the arm is apt to be slightly deformed to accommodate the top edge of the fence panel, while, once in place, the retaining bar is adapted to be fixed on the top edge of the fence panel by being tightened thereon.

En d'autres termes, de par la nature même du matériau qui compose la lisse et de par sa forme, le manipulateur doit exercer une force de déformation , pour que la lisse vienne prendre position sur l'arête haute d'un panneau, tandis que, lorsque la déformation n'est plus exercée sur la lisse, la lisse tend à se resserrer sur l'arête haute du panneau, ce qui assure le maintien de la lisse sur le panneau.In other words, by the very nature of the material that makes up the rail and by its shape, the manipulator must exert a deformation force, so that the rail comes to take position on the high edge of a panel, while that when the deformation is no longer exerted on the rail, the rail tends to tighten on the high edge of the panel, which ensures the maintenance of the rail on the panel.

La mise en oeuvre d'une telle lisse, simplifie le dispositif d'occultation ainsi que sa mise en oeuvre dans la mesure où elle réduit le nombre d'éléments de fixation nécessaires à la solidarisation du dispositif à l'arête haute du panneau.The implementation of such a smooth simplifies the concealment device and its implementation insofar as it reduces the number of fasteners necessary for securing the device at the high edge of the panel.

L'élément inférieur de fixation comprend des moyens de mise en tension de la toile sur le panneau.The lower fixing element comprises means for tensioning the fabric on the panel.

La mise en oeuvre de tels moyens permet de plaquer solidement la toile contre le panneau. Le nombre d'éléments de fixation nécessaires à la solidarisation du dispositif au panneau en est davantage réduit. Contrairement aux dispositifs de l'art antérieur, la fixation du dispositif d'occultation n'est pas réalisée sur tout le pourtour du panneau mais uniquement en haut et en bas du panneau.The implementation of such means makes it possible to firmly press the fabric against the panel. The number of fasteners required to secure the device to the panel is further reduced. Unlike the devices of the prior art, the fixing of the concealment device is not performed all around the panel but only at the top and bottom of the panel.

Par ailleurs la mise en oeuvre de tels moyens de mise en tension permet de maintenir optimale au fil du temps le recouvrement du panneau par la toile. Comme il a été précédemment expliqué, sous l'effet du temps et des intempéries, la toile se déforme et ne recouvre plus efficacement le panneau de clôture. Or les moyens de mise en tension vont permettre de re-tendre une toile déformée dés que cela est nécessaire pour rétablir un recouvrement efficace du panneau.Moreover, the use of such tensioning means makes it possible to maintain optimum over time the covering of the panel by the fabric. As previously explained, under the effect of weather and weather, the fabric deforms and no longer effectively covers the fence panel. However, the tensioning means will allow to re-stretch a deformed canvas as necessary to restore effective recovery of the panel.

Selon un mode de réalisation avantageux, le dispositif d'occultation selon l'invention comprend une lisse de retenue ayant essentiellement une forme en U, les extrémités libres du U étant aptes à clipper la lisse sur le haut dudit panneau.According to an advantageous embodiment, the concealment device according to the invention comprises a retaining bar having essentially a U shape, the free ends of the U being able to clip the bar on the top of said panel.

Dans son état initial, les bras du U sont maintenus rapprochés. L'exercice d'une légère force de déformation imprimée par le manipulateur permet d'écarter légèrement les bras du U, suffisamment pour accueillir l'arête haute du panneau. Lorsque la déformation n'est plus exercée les bras du U reviennent dans leur position initiale sous l'effet des forces élastiques intrinsèques du matériau de la lisse et se serrent sur l'arête haute du panneau. La partie courbe du U vient alors en contact sur l'arête haute du panneau.In its initial state, the arms of the U are kept close together. The exercise of a slight deformation force printed by the manipulator makes it possible to slightly spread the arms of the U, enough to accommodate the high edge of the panel. When the deformation is no longer exerted the arms of the U return to their initial position under the effect of the intrinsic elastic forces of the material of the rail and tighten on the high edge of the panel. The curved portion of the U then comes into contact on the high edge of the panel.

Cette géométrie particulière permet d'améliorer davantage la fixation de la lisse au panneau. La lisse coopère avec l'arête haute du panneau, sur les côtés et le haut de l'arête.This particular geometry makes it possible to further improve the attachment of the rail to the panel. The rail cooperates with the high edge of the panel, on the sides and the top of the edge.

Préférentiellement, l'une des extrémités libres du U présente un renfoncement.Preferably, one of the free ends of the U has a recess.

Un tel renfoncement permet d'accentuer l'effet de serrage de la lisse sur l'arête haute du panneau lorsque les bras du U se referment sur elle. Un tel renfoncement permet de manière extrêmement simple et peu coûteuse d'améliorer la fixation du dispositif au panneau.Such a recess enhances the clamping effect of the arm on the high edge of the panel when the arms of the U are closed on it. Such a recess makes it extremely easy and inexpensive to improve the attachment of the device to the panel.

Selon un mode de réalisation préférentiel, la toile coopère de manière réversible avec l'élément supérieur de fixation.According to a preferred embodiment, the fabric cooperates reversibly with the upper fastening element.

Ainsi, il est facile de remplacer la toile sans avoir à remplacer l'ensemble du dispositif d'occultation.Thus, it is easy to replace the fabric without having to replace the entire occultation device.

Avantageusement, la toile comprend un jonc sur lequel un bord de la toile est solidarisé et ledit jonc est inséré dans une glissière prévue sur l'élément supérieur de fixation, ladite glissière présentant une fente longitudinale pour le passage de la toile.Advantageously, the fabric comprises a rod on which an edge of the fabric is secured and said rod is inserted into a slide provided on the upper fastening element, said slide having a longitudinal slot for the passage of the fabric.

Selon une variante envisageable, ladite toile est fixée sur ladite lisse par un système de bande auto-agrippantes.According to a conceivable variant, said fabric is fixed on said rail by a self-gripping strip system.

Selon un autre mode de réalisation préférentiel, la toile est solidarisée de manière irréversible à l'élément supérieur de fixation. La solidarisation irréversible de la toile pourra être obtenue par différents procédés connus de l'Homme du métier tel que par exemple le soudage ou le collage.According to another preferred embodiment, the fabric is irreversibly secured to the upper fastening element. The irreversible joining of the fabric can be obtained by various methods known to those skilled in the art such as for example welding or gluing.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, lesdits moyens de mise en tension comprennent au moins un lien souple destiné à enserrer l'arête basse d'un panneau.According to another characteristic of the invention, said tensioning means comprise at least one flexible link for gripping the lower edge of a panel.

Dans ce cas, selon un mode de réalisation préférentiel, lesdits moyens de mise en tension comprennent au moins une bande auto-agrippante.In this case, according to a preferred embodiment, said tensioning means comprise at least one self-gripping strip.

Avantageusement, la toile présente une pluralité de fentes aptes à permettre le passage d'air au travers d'elle.Advantageously, the fabric has a plurality of slots adapted to allow the passage of air through it.

La présence de ces fentes vont permettre d'améliorer la résistance au vent du dispositif d'occultation.The presence of these slots will improve the wind resistance of the concealment device.

6. Description détaillée de deux modes de réalisation6. Detailed Description of Two Embodiments

Le principe général de l'invention repose sur la mise en oeuvre :

  • d'un élément supérieur de fixation destiné à fixer la toile au haut du panneau,
  • d'un élément inférieur de fixation destiné à fixer la toile au bas du panneau ; l'élément supérieur de fixation comprenant une lisse de retenue apte à clipper le haut du panneau et l'élément inférieur de fixation comprenant des moyens de mise en tension de la toile sur le panneau.
The general principle of the invention rests on the implementation:
  • an upper fixing element for fixing the fabric to the top of the panel,
  • a lower fixing member for fixing the fabric to the bottom of the panel; the upper fastening element comprising a retaining strip capable of clipping the top of the panel and the lower fixing element comprising means for tensioning the fabric on the panel.

Un tel dispositif d'occultation est beaucoup plus simple, plus rapide et moins onéreux à mettre en oeuvre que les dispositifs de l'art antérieur. En outre il permet d'assurer une fixation efficace d'une toile sur un panneau de clôture et un recouvrement optimal du panneau par la toile.Such an occultation device is much simpler, faster and less expensive to implement than the devices of the prior art. In addition it ensures an effective attachment of a canvas on a fence panel and an optimal covering of the panel by the fabric.

Tel que cela est représenté en figure 1, le dispositif d'occultation (10) comprend une toile (11) présentant sur son bord haut une lisse de retenue (12) et sur son bord bas quatre éléments de fixation (13).As represented in figure 1 , the concealment device (10) comprises a fabric (11) having on its upper edge a retaining bar (12) and on its bottom edge four fixing elements (13).

Dans le mode de réalisation représenté en figure 1, les dimensions de la toile (11) sont essentiellement identiques aux dimensions du panneau (20) de clôture sur lequel le dispositif d'occultation (10) doit être fixé.In the embodiment shown in figure 1 , the dimensions of the fabric (11) are substantially identical to the dimensions of the fence panel (20) on which the concealment device (10) is to be fixed.

La lisse (12) permet la fixation du dispositif d'occultation (10) sur l'arête haute (21) du panneau (20).The arm (12) allows the fixing of the concealment device (10) on the upper edge (21) of the panel (20).

La longueur de la lisse (11) est égale à la largeur du panneau (20) de clôture sur lequel le dispositif d'occultation (10) doit être fixé.The length of the rail (11) is equal to the width of the fence panel (20) on which the concealment device (10) is to be fixed.

Chaque élément de fixation (13) permet la fixation du dispositif d'occultation (10) sur l'arête basse (22) du panneau (20).Each fixing element (13) allows the concealment device (10) to be attached to the lower edge (22) of the panel (20).

Les éléments de fixation (13) en plus de leur rôle de fixation ont un rôle de mise en tension de la toile sur le panneau (20).The fastening elements (13) in addition to their role of fixing have a role of tensioning the fabric on the panel (20).

Lors de la mise en place du dispositif d'occultation (10) sur le panneau (20), la toile (11) est dans un premier temps fixée par la lisse (12) sur l'arête haute (21) du panneau (20), le manipulateur va ensuite tirer sur chaque élément de fixation (13) de manière à tendre la toile (11) sur le panneau (20). Chaque élément de fixation (13) enserre l'arête basse (22) du panneau (20) sur au moins une portion et se fixe au bas du panneau (20).When placing the concealment device (10) on the panel (20), the fabric (11) is first fixed by the arm (12) to the upper edge (21) of the panel (20). ), the manipulator will then pull on each fastener (13) so as to tension the fabric (11) on the panel (20). Each fastener (13) encloses the lower edge (22) of the panel (20) on at least a portion and is fixed to the bottom of the panel (20).

La toile est en réalisée en un matériau textile (ou autre), imprimé ou non. Un tel matériau confère à la toile la solidité et l'élasticité nécessaires pour la mise en tension de la toile (11) sur le panneau (20).The canvas is made of a textile material (or other), printed or not. Such a material gives the fabric the strength and elasticity necessary for the tensioning of the fabric (11) on the panel (20).

Dans le mode de réalisation représenté, les éléments de fixation (13) sont des rubans auto-agrippants de type velcro (marque déposée) qui sont destinés à coopérer avec des bandes auto-agrippantes complémentaires (non représentées) fixées en des endroits appropriés sur la toile.In the embodiment shown, the fastening elements (13) are Velcro (registered trademark) Velcro-type tapes which are intended to cooperate with complementary self-gripping strips (not shown) fixed in appropriate places on the belt. canvas.

Dans un autre mode de réalisation les éléments de fixation (13) pourront être des câbles élastiques.In another embodiment, the fastening elements (13) may be elastic cables.

Ainsi la mise en oeuvre d'un dispositif d'occultation selon l'invention permet de manière simple et peu onéreuse, par rapport aux dispositifs de l'art antérieur :

  • de réduire le nombre d'éléments de fixation nécessaire à sa fixation sur un panneau de clôture,
  • de faciliter et d'améliorer sa fixation au panneau de clôture,
  • de réduire les temps de manipulation.
Thus the implementation of an occultation device according to the invention allows a simple and inexpensive way, compared to the devices of the prior art:
  • to reduce the number of fasteners required for attachment to a fence panel,
  • to facilitate and improve its attachment to the fence panel,
  • to reduce the handling time.

La figure 2 présente une vue plus détaillée de la lisse (12) du dispositif d'occultation (10) représenté en figure 1.The figure 2 shows a more detailed view of the beam (12) of the concealment device (10) shown in FIG. figure 1 .

Tel que représenté, la lisse de retenue (12) a une forme essentiellement en U, les extrémités libres (121, 122) du U sont aptes à clipper la lisse sur le haut dudit panneau (20).As shown, the retaining beam (12) has a substantially U-shaped, the free ends (121, 122) of the U are able to clip the smooth on the top of said panel (20).

La lisse est, selon le présent mode de réalisation, réalisée en un matériau élastique déformable tel que de l'aluminium, du PVC, ou autre. Pour fixer la lisse au haut du panneau (20), le manipulateur exerce une force de déformation adaptée pour permettre de passer à une position « ouverte » dans laquelle les extrémités libres (121, 122) du U sont suffisamment écartées l'une de l'autre pour accueillir l'arête haute du panneau. Lorsque la déformation n'est plus exercée les extrémités libres (121, 122) de la lisse (12) reviennent dans leur position initiale sous l'effet des forces élastiques intrinsèques de la lisse et se referment sur l'arête haute du panneau. La partie courbe (123) de la lisse (12) vient alors en butée contre l'arête haute (21) du panneau (20).According to the present embodiment, the beam is made of a deformable elastic material such as aluminum, PVC or other material. To fix the arm to the top of the panel (20), the manipulator exerts a deformation force adapted to allow to move to an "open" position in which the free ends (121, 122) of the U are sufficiently spaced apart from one another. other to accommodate the high edge of the panel. When the deformation is no longer exerted the free ends (121, 122) of the bar (12) return to their initial position under the effect of the intrinsic elastic forces of the bar and are closed on the high edge of the panel. The curved portion (123) of the rail (12) then abuts against the high edge (21) of the panel (20).

Dans le cas d'un panneau constitué d'un treillage de brins verticaux et de brins horizontaux, l'arête haute 21 est constituée par le brin horizontal le plus haut du panneau.In the case of a panel consisting of a lattice of vertical strands and horizontal strands, the upper edge 21 is constituted by the highest horizontal strand of the panel.

Tel que cela est représenté en figure 2, l'extrémité libre (122) de la lisse (12) présente un renfoncement (124). Comme il a été décrit précédemment, un tel renfoncement permet d'accentuer l'effet des forces de serrage, sur l'arête haute (21) du panneau (20) lorsque les extrémités (121, 122) de la lisse se resserrent sur elle. La fixation de la toile au panneau davantage assurer.As represented in figure 2 the free end (122) of the rail (12) has a recess (124). As previously described, such a recess enhances the effect of the clamping forces on the upper edge (21) of the panel (20) when the ends (121, 122) of the bar are tightened on it . Fixing the canvas to the panel further ensure.

L'extrémité libre (122) de la lisse (12) présente une glissière (125) dans laquelle s'insère un jonc (14) sur lequel la toile (11) est solidarisée. La glissière (125) présente une fente longitudinale (126) pour le passage de la toile (11).The free end (122) of the rail (12) has a slide (125) in which is inserted a rod (14) on which the web (11) is secured. The slide (125) has a longitudinal slot (126) for the passage of the fabric (11).

Dans le mode de réalisation représenté en figure 3, le dispositif d'occultation (10) est essentiellement identique au dispositif décrit en figures 1 et 2 excepté que la toile (11) n'est pas solidarisée à un jonc mais elle est directement solidarisée par soudage ou collage à l'extrémité libre (121) de la lisse (12).In the embodiment shown in figure 3 , the occulting device (10) is essentially identical to the device described in figures 1 and 2 except that the fabric (11) is not secured to a rod but is directly secured by welding or gluing to the free end (121) of the rail (12).

Selon un mode de réalisation proche du mode de réalisation représenté en figure 3, la toile (11) coopère avec l'extrémité libre (121) de la lisse (12) par un système de rubans auto-agrippants de type velcro.According to an embodiment similar to the embodiment shown in figure 3 , the fabric (11) cooperates with the free end (121) of the rail (12) by a velcro-type self-gripping tape system.
