Description

La présente invention se rapporte à un dispositif de lestage d'un garde-corps sur une surface, telle qu'une toiture ou terrasse.The present invention relates to a device for ballasting a guardrail on a surface, such as a roof or terrace.

Elle se rapporte plus particulièrement à un dispositif de lestage destinée uniquement au lestage d'un garde-corps sur une surface, autrement dit dédié uniquement et spécifiquement au lestage de garde-corps.It relates more particularly to a weighting device intended solely for the ballast of a railing on a surface, in other words dedicated solely and specifically to ballast railing.

Pour maintenir en place les garde-corps sur les surfaces, et en particulier sur des toitures ou terrasses situées en hauteur, il est d'usage de fixer les garde-corps dans la surface, notamment par vissage, chevillage et scellement. Cependant, le vissage des garde-corps dans les surfaces pose de nombreux inconvénients, notamment pour assurer l'étanchéité des toitures ou terrasses avec des vis de fixation qui traversent les couches d'étanchéité recouvrant ces toitures ou terrasses. De plus, ce vissage des garde-corps nécessite des interventions sur le bâtiment qui complexifient la tâche (vissage dans la dalle à travers les couches d'isolation et d'étanchéité, mise en oeuvre de moyens d'étanchéité supplémentaire, etc.) pour obtenir au final des garde-corps fixés à demeure et difficilement démontables ou remplaçables.To keep in place the railings on the surfaces, and in particular on roofs or terraces located in height, it is customary to fix the railings in the surface, in particular by screwing, pegging and sealing. However, the screwing of the railings in the surfaces poses numerous disadvantages, in particular for sealing roofs or terraces with fastening screws which pass through the sealing layers covering these roofs or terraces. Moreover, this screwing of the railings requires interventions on the building which complicate the task (screwing in the slab through the insulation and sealing layers, implementation of additional sealing means, etc.) for in the end, to obtain permanent guardrails that are difficult to dismantle or replace.

Pour parer à ces inconvénients, il est connu de lester les garde-corps au moyen de baquets de lestage sur lesquels sont fixés les montants du garde-corps, ces baquets étant relativement hauts pour permettre un remplissage suffisant de matériau de lestage (gravier, terre, gravat, béton, etc.). Avec ces baquets de lestage, le poids du lestage est réparti au sol sur une assez faible surface, ce qui présente l'inconvénient de requérir une masse de lestage relativement élevée et une application d'un effort de lestage relativement localisé sur la toiture ou terrasse, limitant de ce fait son utilisation à des toitures ou terrasses conçues pour supporter de tels poids de lestage sur de telles surfaces localisées. Cette localisation du poids de lestage conduit également à un effort de compression sur la couche d'isolation et/ou d'étanchéité sous-jacente, pouvant entraîner des déformations inadmissibles de ces couches.To overcome these drawbacks, it is known to ballast the railings by means of ballast buckets on which are fixed the amounts of the railing, these bucket being relatively high to allow sufficient filling of ballast material (gravel, earth , rubble, concrete, etc.). With these ballast tubs, the weight of the ballast is distributed on the ground on a relatively small surface, which has the disadvantage of requiring a relatively high weight ballast and application of a relatively localized ballast effort on the roof or terrace , thereby limiting its use to roofs or terraces designed to support such weighting weights on such localized surfaces. This location of the ballast weight also leads to a compression force on the underlying insulation and / or sealing layer, which can lead to inadmissible deformations of these layers.

En outre, ces baquets de lestage sont particulièrement inesthétiques. En effet, ces baquets étant relativement hauts, ils nuisent à la visibilité et coupent la vue panoramique que pourrait offrir la terrasse.In addition, these ballast tubs are particularly unsightly. Indeed, these bucket being relatively high, they harm the visibility and cut the panoramic view that could offer the terrace.

L'état de la technique peut être illustré par l'enseignement du document FR 2 845 827 qui divulgue une plateforme radiotéléphonique permettant le lestage de moyens de gestion de réseau de téléphonie mobile, avec intégration d'une barrière sur les côtés de la plateforme pour éviter une intrusion à l'intérieur de la plateforme, du fait du risque d'électrocution que présente les moyens de gestion de réseau de téléphonie mobile. Cette plateforme est lestée sur une surface au moyen de dalles de lestage fixées sur des traverses et/ou côtés de la plateforme. Ce document ne décrit pas un dispositif de lestage destinée uniquement au lestage d'un garde-corps, mais décrit plutôt une plateforme dédiée au lestage de moyens de gestion de réseau de téléphonie mobile. Le lestage mis en oeuvre avec cette plateforme ne saurait être adapté à celui d'un garde-corps seul, pour des raisons à la fois d'encombrement et de poids. En effet, cette plateforme profite de la présence des moyens de gestion de réseau de téléphonie mobile pour réaliser le lestage de l'ensemble ; le poids de ces moyens de gestion de réseau de téléphonie mobile participant également au lestage de l'ensemble.The state of the art can be illustrated by teaching the document FR 2,845,827 which discloses a radiotelephone platform for balancing mobile telephony network management means, with integration of a barrier on the sides of the platform to avoid a intrusion inside the platform, because of the risk of electrocution that presents the means of management of mobile network. This platform is weighted on a surface by means of weight plates fixed on sleepers and / or sides of the platform. This document does not describe a weighting device intended solely for the ballast of a railing, but rather describes a platform dedicated to the ballast of mobile telephone network management means. The ballast implemented with this platform can not be adapted to that of a railing alone, for reasons of both size and weight. Indeed, this platform takes advantage of the presence of the mobile network management means to achieve the ballasting of the whole; the weight of these mobile network management means also participating in the ballast of the assembly.

L'état de la technique peut être illustré par l'enseignement du document FR 2 811 359 qui divulgue une structure de sustentation pour l'installation d'un pylône de télécommunication, comportant un sommier auto-stable constitué d'un caisson formé de poutres assemblées entre elles et équipé de plaques de fond pour définir des compartiments de réception d'un lest, tel que des dalles de béton, gravier, terre, ciment, etc. Ce document précise que le lest peut être recouvert de terre voire de pelouse, et que des barrières ou clôtures de sécurité peuvent être fixées sur les bords du caisson. Au même titre que pour le document FR 2 845 827 , ces barrières ou clôtures ne sont installées que pour prévenir une intrusion à l'intérieur de la structure, du fait du risque d'électrocution que présente le pylône de télécommunication. Ce document ne décrit pas un dispositif de lestage destinée uniquement au lestage d'un garde-corps, mais décrit plutôt une structure dédiée au lestage d'un pylône de télécommunication avec, de manière optionnelle, des barrières ou clôtures de sécurité. Le lestage mis en oeuvre avec cette structure ne saurait être adapté à celui d'un garde-corps seul, pour des raisons à la fois d'encombrement et de poids. En effet, cette structure profite de la présence du pylône de télécommunication pour réaliser le lestage de l'ensemble ; le poids de ce pylône de télécommunication participant également au lestage de l'ensemble.The state of the art can be illustrated by teaching the document FR 2,811,359 which discloses a lift structure for the installation of a telecommunication tower, comprising a self-stable bed consisting of a box formed of beams assembled together and equipped with bottom plates to define receiving compartments of a ballast , such as concrete slabs, gravel, earth, cement, etc. This document specifies that the ballast can be covered with soil or lawn, and that gates or security fences can be fixed on the edges of the box. As for the document FR 2,845,827 these barriers or fences are installed only to prevent intrusion into the structure, because of the risk of electrocution that presents the telecommunication tower. This document does not describe a weighting device intended solely for the ballast of a guardrail, but rather describes a structure dedicated to the weighting of a telecommunication tower with, optionally, safety barriers or fences. The ballast implemented with this structure can not be adapted to that of a railing alone, for reasons of both size and weight. Indeed, this structure takes advantage of the presence of the telecommunication tower to achieve the ballasting of the assembly; the weight of this telecommunication tower also participating in the ballasting of the assembly.

La présente invention a notamment pour but de résoudre en tout ou partie les inconvénients susmentionnés, en proposant un dispositif de lestage qui permette de lester efficacement et uniquement les garde-corps sur des surfaces, telles que les toitures ou terrasses, avec une répartition du poids suffisamment large pour permettre un lestage sur une grande variété de toitures ou terrasses et sans détérioration des couches d'isolation et/ou d'étanchéité, qui permette une installation rapide et aisée, qui facilite les opérations de stockage, de manutention et de transport, notamment dans les ascenseurs, et qui présente l'avantage d'être discret et quasiment invisible une fois mis en place pour ne pas nuire à la visibilité sur la terrasse et à l'esthétisme de la terrasse.The present invention is intended in particular to solve all or part of the aforementioned drawbacks, by proposing a weighting device that allows ballast effectively and only railings on surfaces, such as roofs or terraces, with a distribution of weight large enough to allow ballasting on a wide variety of roofs or terraces and without deterioration of insulation and / or sealing layers, which allows a quick and easy installation, which facilitates storage, handling and transport operations, especially in the elevators, and which has the advantage of being discreet and almost invisible once set up so as not to affect the visibility on the terrace and the aesthetics of the terrace.

A cet effet, elle propose un dispositif de lestage de garde-corps sur une surface, telle qu'une toiture ou terrasse, destiné uniquement au lestage dudit garde-corps, remarquable en ce qu'il comporte :

  • une structure formant plateforme apte à être posée sur la surface, ladite plateforme comportant un cadre pourvu d'une paroi de fond afin de délimiter un espace de réception d'un matériau de remplissage et de lestage ; et
  • des moyens de support de dalles de lestage, lesdits moyens de support étant fixés sur la plateforme pour supporter les dalles de lestage permettant le lestage de la plateforme et le déplacement d'un utilisateur sur la plateforme ; et
  • des moyens de fixation du garde-corps sur ladite plateforme, lesdits moyens de fixation étant fixés sur la plateforme.
For this purpose, it proposes a railing ballast device on a surface, such as a roof or terrace, intended solely for the ballast of said railing, remarkable in that it comprises:
  • a platform structure capable of being placed on the surface, said platform comprising a frame provided with a bottom wall in order to define a space for receiving a filler and ballast material; and
  • support means for weighting slabs, said support means being fixed on the platform to support the weighting slabs for ballasting the platform and the movement of a user on the platform; and
  • means for fixing the railing on said platform, said fixing means being fixed on the platform.

Ainsi, ce dispositif de lestage garantit à la fois un lestage du garde-corps au moyen des dalles et du matériau de lestage, et une surface de déplacement ou de cheminement à côté du garde-corps. Le lestage s'effectuant principalement avec les dalles de lestage montées sur la plateforme et avec le matériau de lestage disposé dans la plateforme, le poids de lestage est réparti sur la surface de la plateforme, limitant ainsi l'impact du lestage sur la surface. Ce dispositif de lestage éloigne le lestage du garde-corps, cet éloignement permettant d'augmenter le bras de levier de l'effort de lestage mis en oeuvre par les dalles et le matériau de lestage et donc de réduire le poids (ou la masse) de lestage nécessaire.Thus, this ballast device ensures both a weighting of the railing by means of slabs and ballast material, and a moving surface or path next to the guardrail. The ballast is mainly carried out with the ballast slabs mounted on the platform and with the ballast material disposed in the platform, the ballast weight is distributed over the surface of the platform, thus limiting the impact of the ballast on the surface. This ballast device removes the weighting of the railing, this distance making it possible to increase the lever arm of the ballast force implemented by the slabs and the ballast material and thus to reduce the weight (or mass) ballasting required.

En outre, le lestage s'effectue principalement sur et dans la plateforme, avec les dalles posées sur la plateforme et le matériau de lestage disposé dans la plateforme, de sorte que ce dispositif présente un encombrement relativement réduit dans la direction verticale. Autrement dit, la plateforme, d'aspect relativement plat comparativement à un baquet de lestage connu de l'état de la technique, permet de réaliser un lestage des garde-corps tout en offrant une discrétion contribuant à la visibilité sur la terrasse et à l'esthétisme de la terrasse.In addition, the ballast is mainly on and in the platform, with the slabs placed on the platform and the ballast material disposed in the platform, so that this device has a relatively small footprint in the vertical direction. In other words, the platform, relatively flat compared to a ballast bucket known from the state of the art, allows a weighting railings while providing discretion contributing to the visibility on the terrace and the aesthetics of the terrace.

De plus, ce dispositif permet de répondre efficacement aux normes de sécurité en vigueur pour les garde-corps, en permettant un lestage réparti efficacement par rapport au garde-corps et avec des masses de lestage suffisantes.In addition, this device makes it possible to effectively meet the safety standards in force for the railings, allowing a weighting distributed efficiently relative to the railing and with sufficient ballast weights.

Selon une caractéristique, le cadre comporte des profilés assemblés entre eux de manière amovible.According to one characteristic, the frame comprises sections assembled together removably.

Avec cette caractéristique, il est possible de démonter la plateforme et ainsi de stocker, transporter, manipuler la plateforme aisément, et par exemple de transporter ladite plateforme dans un ascenseur.With this feature, it is possible to disassemble the platform and thus store, transport, manipulate the platform easily, and for example to transport said platform in an elevator.

De façon préférentielle, la plateforme est formée de pièces assemblées entre elles de manière amovible afin de permettre le montage/démontage de la plateforme. Les opérations de stockage, de manutention, de transport, de pose sur toiture, de réparation, et de modification du dispositif sont grandement facilitées avec des éléments démontables.Preferably, the platform is formed of pieces assembled together removably to allow the assembly / disassembly of the platform.

The sleepers are here five in number and include:
  • a first crossmember 21 fixed, over the entire length, on a transverse section 60, said first crossmember 21 being able to have an "L" cross-section, as illustrated in FIGS. figures 2 , 4 , 5 and 6 , or a "T" cross section, as shown in the figures 1 and 3 , so as to support slabs 8 adjacent or adjacent to the platform 1;
  • a second crossmember 22 fixed at its ends to the opposite longitudinal sections 60, this second crossmember 22 being spaced from the first crossmember 21 by a distance such that the first 21 and second 22 crosspieces support a first row of slabs 3, said second crosspiece 22 may have an "L" cross section, as shown in the figures, to support only this first row of slabs 3;
  • a third crossmember 23 fixed at its ends to the opposite longitudinal sections 60, said third crossmember 23 being offset from the second crossmember 22 so as to interpose the fastening means 4 of the railing 9 between the second crossmember 22 and the third crossmember 23 and said third crossmember 22 may have an "L" cross-section, as illustrated in the figures;
  • a fourth crossbar 24 fixed at its ends to the opposite longitudinal profiles 60, this fourth crosspiece 24 being spaced from the third crossbar 23 by a distance such that the third 23 and fourth 24 sleepers support a second row of slabs 3, said fourth crossbar 24 may have a cross section "T", as shown in the figures, so as to support, in more than this second row of slabs 3, a third row of slabs 3; and
  • a fifth crossmember 25 fixed, over the entire length, on the other transverse section 60, said fifth crossmember 25 being able to have an "L" cross-section, as illustrated in FIGS. figures 2 , 4 , 5 and 6 , or a "T" cross section, as shown in the figures 1 and 3 , so as to support slabs 8 adjacent to or adjacent to the platform 1, and said fifth crossbar 25 being spaced from the fourth crossbar 24 by a distance such that the fourth 24 and fifth 25 supports support the third row of slabs 3.

Les moyens de fixation 4 du garde-corps 9 comprennent deux sabots de garde-corps fixés sur le cadre 6 de la plateforme 1 et conçus pour supporter des montants 90 de garde-corps. En l'occurrence, les sabots de garde-corps 4 sont fixés en vis-à-vis sur les profilés longitudinaux 60 respectifs, entre les deuxième 22 et troisième 23 traverses, au moyen d'ensembles vis 42 / boulon.The fastening means 4 of the guardrail 9 comprise two guardrail shoes fixed to the frame 6 of the platform 1 and designed to support the uprights 90 of guardrail. In this case, the guardrail shoes 4 are fixed vis-à-vis the respective longitudinal profiles 60, between the second 22 and third 23 cross members, by means of screw assemblies 42 / bolt.

De cette manière, les traverses 21, 22, 23, 24, 25 de support des dalles 3 sont disposées de part et d'autre des sabots de garde-corps, de sorte que les dalles 3 soient disposées de part et d'autre du garde-corps 9. Plus précisément, la première rangée de dalles 3 est disposée sur un côté dit arrière du garde-corps, tandis que les deuxième et troisième rangée de dalles 3 sont disposées sur un côté dit avant, opposée au côté arrière, du garde-corps 9.In this way, the crosspieces 21, 22, 23, 24, 25 for supporting the slabs 3 are arranged on either side of the guardrail shoes, so that the slabs 3 are arranged on either side of the railing 9. More specifically, the first row of slabs 3 is disposed on a rear side said guard rail, while the second and third row of slabs 3 are disposed on a so-called front side, opposite the rear side, of the railing 9.

De cette manière également, avec les sabots de garde-corps 4 situées entre les deux profilés transversaux 61, le cadre 6 et la paroi de fond 7 s'étendent de part et d'autre des sabots de garde-corps 4, de sorte que le matériau de remplissage et de lestage 5 est disposé de part et d'autre du garde-corps 9.In this way also, with the guardrail shoes 4 located between the two transverse profiles 61, the frame 6 and the bottom wall 7 extend on either side of the guardrail shoes 4, so that the filler and ballast material 5 is disposed on both sides of the railing 9.

Au final, avec cette disposition des dalles 3 et du matériau de remplissage et de lestage 5, le lestage s'effectue sur les deux côtés du garde-corps 9, limitant ainsi notamment les risques de basculement.Finally, with this arrangement of the slabs 3 and the filler material and ballast 5, the ballasting is performed on both sides of the railing 9, thus limiting the risk of tipping.

Le dispositif de lestage peut également comprendre un capot 40 s'étendant entre les deux sabots de garde-corps 4 pour recouvrir l'espace entre les deuxième 22 et troisième 23 traverses, et ainsi améliorer l'aspect esthétique et améliorer l'étanchéité du dispositif.The weighting device may also comprise a cover 40 extending between the two guardrail shoes 4 to cover the space between the second 22 and third 23 sleepers, and thus improve the aesthetic appearance and improve the sealing of the device.

Les sabots de garde-corps 4 se présente chacun sous la forme d'un fourreau ou d'une pièce creuse adapté pour recevoir un montant de garde-corps 90 ; des moyens de serrage des montants de garde-corps 90 à l'intérieur des sabots de garde-corps 4 étant avantageusement prévus.The guardrail shoes 4 are each in the form of a sheath or a hollow part adapted to receive a guardrail 90; clamping means of the railing posts 90 inside the guardrail shoes 4 being advantageously provided.

Le garde-corps 9 comprend :

  • les deux montants de garde-corps 90 montés sur les sabots de garde-corps 4 correspondants ;
  • des lisses ou barres 91 s'étendant entre les montants 90 et fixées sur lesdits montants, notamment au moyen d'étriers, de manière à constituer une lisse haute ou main courante et une ou plusieurs lisses basses disposées sous la lisse haute ; et éventuellement
  • une plaque de fermeture 92 montée sur les lisses 90, réalisée en matériau opaque ou transparent.
The railing 9 includes:
  • the two railing posts 90 mounted on the corresponding railing shoes 4;
  • slats or bars 91 extending between the uprights 90 and fixed to said uprights, in particular by means of stirrups, so as to constitute a top rail or handrail and one or more low rails arranged under the upper arm; and eventually
  • a closure plate 92 mounted on the rails 90, made of opaque or transparent material.

Le montage du dispositif de lestage et ensuite du garde-corps 9 est décrit ci-après en référence aux figures 7a à 7f.The mounting of the weighting device and then the guardrail 9 is described below with reference to Figures 7a to 7f .

Dans un premier temps, illustré en figure 7a, le cadre 6 est monté, par assemblage des profilés 60, 61, puis les sabots de garde-corps 4 sont fixés sur le cadre 6, et enfin le cadre 6 est posé sur le sol de la terrasse.At first, illustrated in figure 7a , the frame 6 is mounted by assembling the profiles 60, 61, then the guardrail shoes 4 are fixed on the frame 6, and finally the frame 6 is placed on the floor of the terrace.

Dans un deuxième temps, illustré en figure 7b, la paroi de fond 7 est fixée sur le cadre 6, par vissage des rebords latéraux 71 dans les profilés 60, 61 correspondants.In a second step, illustrated in figure 7b , the bottom wall 7 is fixed on the frame 6, by screwing the side flanges 71 into the corresponding sections 60, 61.

Dans un troisième temps, illustré en figure 7c, le matériau de remplissage et de lestage 5 est versé sur la paroi de fond 7, dans le cadre 6, de manière à remplir au moins partiellement l'espace de réception délimité par le cadre 6 et la paroi de fond 7.Thirdly, illustrated in Figure 7c , the filler and ballast material 5 is poured onto the bottom wall 7, in the frame 6, so as to at least partially fill the receiving space delimited by the frame 6 and the bottom wall 7.

Dans un quatrième temps, illustré en figure 7d, les traverses 21, 22, 23, 24, 25 sont fixées sur le cadre 6 au moyen de vis 26, et le capot 40 est disposé entre les deux sabots de garde-corps 4 en prenant appui sur les deuxième 22 et troisième 23 traverses.In a fourth time, illustrated in figure 7d , the crosspieces 21, 22, 23, 24, 25 are fixed to the frame 6 by means of screws 26, and the cover 40 is arranged between the two guardrail shoes 4 while bearing on the second 22 and third 23 sleepers .

Dans un cinquième temps, illustré en figure 7e, les dalles 3 de lestage sont posées sur les traverses 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, de façon à former les trois rangées de dalles 3 décrites ci-dessus.In a fifth time, illustrated in figure 7e , the slabs 3 of weighting are placed on the crosspieces 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, so as to form the three rows of slabs 3 described above.

Dans un sixième temps, illustré en figure 7f, les montants de garde-corps 90 sont montés dans les sabots de garde-corps 4, et enfin les autres éléments du garde-corps 9, à savoir les lisses 91 et éventuellement la plaque de fermeture 92, sont mis en place.In a sixth time, illustrated in figure 7f , the railing posts 90 are mounted in the guardrail shoes 4, and finally the others elements of the railing 9, namely the smooth 91 and possibly the closure plate 92, are put in place.

Comme illustré en figure 3, ce dispositif de lestage permet de lester le garde-corps 9 tout en ne nuisant pas à la visibilité de la terrasse.As illustrated in figure 3 , This weighting device allows to weight the guardrail 9 while not detracting from the visibility of the terrace.

Les dalles 8 voisines du dispositif de lestage, qui sont avantageusement du même type que les dalles 3 de lestage employées pour le dispositif de lestage, sont montées sur des plots 80, afin notamment de pouvoir disposer entre les dalles 8 et la surface S une ou plusieurs couches de matériau d'étanchéité et/ou d'isolation, telle qu'une couche en polystyrène.The slabs 8 adjacent to the weighting device, which are advantageously of the same type as the ballast slabs 3 used for the ballast device, are mounted on studs 80, in particular to be able to arrange between the slabs 8 and the surface S one or several layers of sealing material and / or insulation, such as a polystyrene layer.

Les épaisseurs de la plateforme 1, et en particulier du cadre 6 et de ses profilés 60, 61, sont telles que les dalles 3 du dispositif de lestage sont au même niveau que les dalles 8 voisines du dispositif de lestage, créant ainsi une continuité dans les dalles et dissimulant de façon quasi-complète la plateforme 1 du dispositif de lestage.The thicknesses of the platform 1, and in particular of the frame 6 and its sections 60, 61, are such that the slabs 3 of the weighting device are at the same level as the slabs 8 adjacent to the weighting device, thus creating continuity in the slabs and almost completely concealing the platform 1 of the ballast device.

Par ailleurs, la plateforme 1 du dispositif de lestage peut elle-même reposer sur une couche 81 de matériau d'étanchéité et/ou d'isolation, telle qu'une couche en polystyrène, ainsi qu'illustré en figure 3.Furthermore, the platform 1 of the weighting device may itself be based on a layer 81 of sealing material and / or insulation, such as a polystyrene layer, as illustrated in FIG. figure 3 .
