Description

Domaine technique :Technical area :

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de fausse paroi.The present invention relates to a false wall device.

Ce dispositif est destiné à être fixé sur une paroi telle qu'un mur ou un plafond.This device is intended to be fixed on a wall such as a wall or a ceiling.

Technique antérieure :Prior art:

Un tel dispositif de fausse paroi comprend un panneau formé d'une nappe tendue fixée à la base d'un châssis, lequel panneau est placé dans un cadre externe, qui est muni de parois latérales et d'un fond, le dispositif comprenant également des moyens de liaison entre le châssis et le cadre externe. La nappe tendue est de préférence en un matériau polymère synthétique, par exemple du polychlorure de vinyle.Such a false wall device comprises a panel formed of a stretched sheet attached to the base of a frame, which panel is placed in an outer frame, which is provided with side walls and a bottom, the device also comprising connecting means between the frame and the outer frame. The stretched web is preferably of a synthetic polymeric material, for example polyvinyl chloride.

En particulier, dans une application de type caisson lumineux, le cadre externe peut être équipé de moyens d'éclairage et la nappe peut être de type translucide. Le panneau peut encore comprendre, de manière connue, des éléments raidisseurs pour renforcer sa rigidité.In particular, in a light box type application, the external frame may be equipped with lighting means and the sheet may be of translucent type. The panel may further comprise, in a known manner, stiffening elements to reinforce its rigidity.

Comme mentionné précédemment, le panneau est formé d'une nappe tendue fixée à la base d'un châssis. Ce châssis, généralement parallélépipédique, est constitué de l'association d'éléments profilés qui forment chacun de ses côtés. Habituellement, la partie supérieure de ces profilés est avantageusement munie d'une rainure permettant d'accueillir des moyens de liaison du châssis au cadre externe.As mentioned above, the panel is formed of a stretched sheet attached to the base of a frame. This frame, generally parallelepipedic, consists of the association of profiled elements which form each of its sides. Usually, the upper part of these profiles is advantageously provided with a groove for accommodating means for connecting the frame to the outer frame.

La partie inférieure du profilé du châssis selon les réalisations connues, illustrées en figure 2 du présent texte et dont un exemple est donné dans la publication FR 2882588 , qui décrit un dispositif de fausse paroi selon le préambule de la revendication 1, comporte à la jonction de la base et de la partie externe du châssis un logement ouvert vers la base dudit châssis venant accueillir la bordure périphérique de la nappe tendue formant le fond du panneau. Il y a donc un espace résiduel apparent entre l'extrémité inférieure du bord extérieur du panneau et l'extrémité visible de la nappe tendue et dont l'aspect est inesthétique.The lower part of the profile of the frame according to known embodiments, illustrated in figure 2 of this text and an example of which is given in the publication FR 2882588 , which discloses a false wall device according to the preamble of claim 1, comprises at the junction of the base and the outer portion of the frame a housing open towards the base of said frame to receive the peripheral edge of the stretched sheet forming the bottom of the panel. There is therefore an apparent residual space between the lower end of the outer edge of the panel and the visible end of the stretched web and whose appearance is unsightly.

Résumé de l'inventionSummary of the invention

La présente invention vise donc à remédier à cet inconvénient en proposant des dispositifs de panneau dont les éléments constituant le châssis du panneau permettent d'obtenir une nappe tendue à sa face avant sans laisser subsister d'espace résiduel entre l'extrémité visible de la nappe et le bord inférieur externe du châssis du panneau.The present invention therefore aims to remedy this drawback by proposing panel devices whose elements constituting the frame of the panel allow to obtain a sheet stretched to its front face without leaving any residual space between the visible end of the sheet. and the outer lower edge of the panel frame.

A cet égard, la présente invention a pour objet un dispositif de fausse paroi comportant un panneau formé d'une nappe tendue fixée à la base d'un châssis, ledit châssis étant constitué par l'assemblage d'éléments profilés formant ses cotés, lequel panneau est placé dans un cadre externe, qui est muni de parois latérales et d'un fond, le dispositif comprenant également des moyens de liaison entre le châssis et le cadre externe.In this regard, the present invention relates to a false wall device comprising a panel formed of a stretched sheet attached to the base of a frame, said frame being constituted by the assembly of profiled elements forming its sides, which panel is placed in an outer frame, which is provided with side walls and a bottom, the device also comprising connecting means between the frame and the outer frame.

Ce dispositif est remarquable en ce que chaque élément profilé du châssis du panneau présente une section droite globalement avec une section transversale en forme de triangle rectangle dont la pointe est dirigée vers la base du châssis et dont l'hypoténuse constitue la partie interne dudit châssis, la partie externe dudit profilé, orientée perpendiculairement à ladite base, étant munie d'un logement de réception de la bordure périphérique de la nappe.This device is remarkable in that each profiled element of the panel frame has a cross section generally with a cross section in the form of a right triangle whose tip is directed towards the base of the frame and whose hypotenuse constitutes the inner part of said frame, the outer portion of said profile, oriented perpendicularly to said base, being provided with a housing for receiving the peripheral edge of the web.

Le logement de réception débouche sur la partie externe et est intégré dans l'épaisseur de l'élément profilé, entre la partie interne et la partie externe. Ce logement, qui est situé entre la partie externe et la partie interne, n'est donc pas en saillie de la partie externe du profilé.The receiving housing opens on the outer part and is integrated in the thickness of the profiled element, between the inner part and the outer part. This accommodation, which is located between the outer portion and the inner portion, is not projecting from the outer portion of the profile.

Le logement de réception présente de fait une orientation sécante avec la partie externe du profilé, sur laquelle il débouche.The receiving housing has in fact a secant orientation with the outer portion of the profile, on which it opens.

Selon une variante préférée, le logement présente une section droite globalement rectangulaire, ouverte sur le côté débouchant, et comporte un épaulement au bord de ladite ouverture. L'extrémité libre de la bordure périphérique de la nappe vient en appui sur ledit épaulement.According to a preferred variant, the housing has a generally rectangular cross section, open on the open side, and has a shoulder at the edge of said opening. The free end of the peripheral edge of the web bears on said shoulder.

On comprend bien que grâce à cet agencement spécifique des profilés, dans lequel la bordure périphérique de la nappe vient s'enclencher dans la partie externe des profilés, la nappe va ainsi recouvrir l'ensemble de la face inférieure et également une portion de la partie externe dudit châssis, l'espace résiduel présent dans les profilés selon l'art antérieur connu étant ainsi supprimé.It is clearly understood that, thanks to this specific arrangement of the profiles, in which the peripheral edge of the ply comes to engage in the outer part of the profiles, the ply will thus cover the whole of the lower face and also a portion of the portion external of said frame, the residual space present in the profiles according to the known prior art is thus removed.

Description détaillée de l'inventionDetailed description of the invention

On a représenté à la figure 1 un dispositif 1 de fausse paroi selon l'invention, dans une configuration d'utilisation de type caisson lumineux.We have shown figure 1 a device 1 of false wall according to the invention, in a use configuration of light box type.

Ce dispositif 1 comporte un panneau 3 logé dans un cadre externe 5.This device 1 comprises a panel 3 housed in an external frame 5.

Le panneau 3 est formé d'une nappe tendue 7 fixée à la base d'un châssis 9. Ce châssis 9, qui est ici de forme parallélépipédique, est constitué de l'association d'éléments profilés 11 qui forment chacun de ses côtés, ici au nombre de quatre, et qui se terminent par des coupes d'onglet, ici à 90°, reliés par des équerres non représentées sur le dessin. En outre, le châssis 9 est pourvu d'un élément raidisseur 12 reliant deux éléments profilés 11 opposés du châssis 9.The panel 3 is formed of a stretched sheet 7 fixed to the base of a frame 9. This frame 9, which here is of parallelepipedal shape, consists of the combination of profiled elements 11 which form each of its sides, here four in number, and ending in miter cuts, here at 90 °, connected by brackets not shown in the drawing. In addition, the frame 9 is provided with a stiffening element 12 connecting two opposite profiled members 11 of the frame 9.

Le cadre externe 5 comprend quatre parois latérales 13 définissant un quadrilatère sur lequel est monté un fond 15. Sur ce fond 15 sont disposés des moyens d'éclairage constitués par exemple de tubes à décharge 16 parallèles.The outer frame 5 comprises four side walls 13 defining a quadrilateral on which is mounted a bottom 15. On this bottom 15 are arranged lighting means consisting for example of parallel discharge tubes 16.

Dans l'exemple d'utilisation représenté, le cadre externe 5 forme une enveloppe destinée à être fixé à une paroi telle qu'un mur ou un plafond. Toutefois, le cadre externe 5, au sens de la présente invention, pourra également être constitué par une niche aménagée dans une paroi ou bien par un poteau en H ou en U équipé de deux parois latérales transversales supplémentaires pour former ainsi le réceptacle du panneau 3.In the use example shown, the outer frame 5 forms an envelope for attachment to a wall such as a wall or a ceiling. However, the outer frame 5, within the meaning of the present invention, may also be constituted by a recess provided in a wall or by an H or U pole equipped with two additional transverse side walls to form thus the receptacle of the panel 3.

Pour permettre les opérations de maintenance, tant de la face interne de la nappe tendue 7 (nettoyage), que celle des moyens d'éclairage (nettoyage et remplacement tubes à décharge 16), la liaison entre le panneau 3 et le cadre externe 5 ou bien la configuration du cadre externe 5, est telle qu'elle permet un accès à l'espace compris entre la face arrière du panneau 3 et le cadre externe 5.To allow maintenance operations, both of the inner face of the stretched web 7 (cleaning), and that of the lighting means (cleaning and replacement of the discharge tubes 16), the connection between the panel 3 and the external frame 5 or the configuration of the external frame 5 is such that it allows access to the space between the rear face of the panel 3 and the external frame 5.

Par exemple, le dispositif 1 de fausse paroi pourra comporter un ensemble charnière reliant le panneau 3 et le cadre externe 5 de manière à permettre un basculement du panneau 3 par rapport au cadre externe 5. Des exemples d'articulation du panneau 3 par rapport à son cadre externe 5 sont connus notamment du document FR 2 882 588 et FR 2 911 619 , dans le cadre d'une application de type caisson lumineux.For example, the device 1 of false wall may comprise a hinge assembly connecting the panel 3 and the outer frame 5 so as to allow tilting of the panel 3 relative to the outer frame 5. Examples of articulation of the panel 3 with respect to its external framework 5 are known from the document FR 2,882,588 and FR 2 911 619 , in the context of a light box type application.

Une autre possibilité est de prévoir qu'au moins une paroi latérale 11 et/ou le fond 15 du cadre externe 5 puisse être articulé ou mobile, permettant ainsi un accès latéral et/ou arrière à l'espace interne entre le panneau 3 et le cadre externe 5 pour pouvoir réaliser les opérations de maintenance mentionnées.Another possibility is to provide that at least one side wall 11 and / or the bottom 15 of the outer frame 5 can be hinged or movable, thus allowing lateral and / or rear access to the internal space between the panel 3 and the external frame 5 to perform the mentioned maintenance operations.

Enfin, on pourra prévoir des moyens de liaison amovibles entre le panneau 3 et le cadre externe 5, du type attaches ou fixations rapides, telles que par exemple des grenouillères ou autres verrous quart de tour.Finally, it will be possible to provide removable connection means between the panel 3 and the outer frame 5, type quick fasteners or fasteners, such as for example latches or other latches quarter turn.

(technique antérieure)(prior art)

On a représenté à la figure 2 un mode de réalisation selon l'art antérieur connu des éléments profilés 11 formant le châssis 9 du panneau 3 à la base duquel est fixée la nappe tendue 7.We have shown figure 2 an embodiment according to the known prior art profiled elements 11 forming the frame 9 of the panel 3 at the base of which is fixed the stretched web 7.

La partie inférieure du profilé 11 se termine par deux ailes parallèles 17,18 s'étendant vers la base du châssis. Ces deux ailes 17,18 définissent un logement ouvert sur la base du châssis. L'aile externe 17, qui est dans le prolongement de la partie externe du profilé 11, est pourvue sur sa face intérieure d'une butée 19 transversale destinée à recevoir en simple appui une extrémité d'une bordure périphérique 20 de la nappe 7 tendue formant le fond du panneau 3.The lower part of the profile 11 ends with two parallel wings 17,18 extending towards the base of the frame. These two wings 17,18 define an open housing on the base of the frame. The outer flange 17, which is in the extension of the outer portion of the profile 11, is provided on its inner face with a transverse stop 19 intended to receive in single support an end of a peripheral edge 20 of the sheet 7 stretched forming the bottom of the panel 3.

Comme cela ressort de la figure 2, un espace e subsiste entre la partie externe desdits profilés et l'extrémité visible de la nappe 7. Cet espace résiduel permet le montage et surtout le démontage par insertion d'une spatule à l'intérieur de la bordure périphérique de la nappe. Toutefois, cet espace résiduel entre la nappe et le bord externe du châssis est visuellement gênant car il constitue un joint creux donnant une impression très inesthétique.As is apparent from the figure 2 a space e remains between the outer portion of said profiles and the visible end of the web 7. This residual space allows the assembly and especially the disassembly by insertion of a spatula inside the peripheral edge of the web. However, this residual space between the sheet and the outer edge of the frame is visually embarrassing because it constitutes a hollow seal giving a very unsightly impression.

De plus, on relève que dans la structure des profilés 11 selon l'art antérieur, la partie interne oblique 21 du profilé se termine à une certaine distance du bord externe du châssis en projection horizontale sur la nappe. Lorsque le dispositif 1 est muni de moyens d'éclairage sur le fond 15 du cadre externe 5, un masque d'ombre projetée sur la toile 7 va être visible à la périphérie de la base du châssis, masque dont la largeur va globalement correspondre à l'addition de la largeur de l'espace résiduel e et la distance projetée entre l'extrémité basale de la partie interne 21 oblique et l'aile 18. Ce masque d'ombre périphérique est visuellement gênant.In addition, it is noted that in the structure of the profiles 11 according to the prior art, the oblique inner portion 21 of the profile ends at a distance from the outer edge of the frame in horizontal projection on the sheet. When the device 1 is provided with illumination means on the bottom 15 of the outer frame 5, a shadow mask projected onto the fabric 7 will be visible at the periphery of the base of the frame, a mask whose width will generally correspond to the addition of the width of the residual space e and the projected distance between the basal end of the inner portion 21 oblique and the wing 18. This peripheral shadow mask is visually annoying.

(meilleur mode de réalisation de l'invention)(best embodiment of the invention)

En référence à la figure 3, on décrira maintenant un premier exemple d'exécution d'un profilé 11 selon l'invention. Ce profilé 11 présente une forme de triangle rectangle avec une pointe orientée vers la base du châssis et dont l'hypoténuse constitue la partie interne dudit châssis. Le profilé 11 comporte ainsi une partie interne 21 en oblique, une partie supérieure 22 et une partie externe 23, orientée perpendiculairement à la partie supérieure 22. Lorsque le panneau est placé dans le cadre externe 5, la partie supérieure 22 de chaque profilé 11 est en regard du fond 15 dudit cadre externe 5 tandis que la partie externe 23 est disposée en regard de la paroi latérale 13 respective du cadre externe 5.With reference to the figure 3 a first embodiment of a profile 11 according to the invention will now be described. This profile 11 has a triangle shape rectangle with a tip oriented towards the base of the frame and whose hypotenuse constitutes the inner part of said frame. The profile 11 thus comprises an inner portion 21 oblique, an upper portion 22 and an outer portion 23, oriented perpendicularly to the upper portion 22. When the panel is placed in the outer frame 5, the upper portion 22 of each profile 11 is facing the bottom 15 of said outer frame 5 while the outer portion 23 is disposed facing the respective side wall 13 of the outer frame 5.

La partie interne 21 en oblique est munie à son extrémité basale d'une aile d'appui 24 de la nappe 7, venant au droit de la partie externe 23. On notera qu'ainsi, l'empreinte du châssis 3 sur la toile 7 est avantageusement réduite à l'épaisseur de l'aile d'appui 24, se réduisant donc à une simple ligne et supprimant toute ombre portée visuellement gênante lorsque le dispositif 1 est muni de moyens d'éclairage sur le fond 15 du cadre externe 5.The oblique inner portion 21 is provided at its basal end with a support flange 24 of the ply 7, coming to the right of the outer portion 23. It will be noted that thus, the footprint of the frame 3 on the fabric 7 is advantageously reduced to the thickness of the support wing 24, thus reducing to a single line and eliminating any visually annoying shadow shade when the device 1 is provided with lighting means on the bottom 15 of the outer frame 5.

Selon une caractéristique essentielle de l'invention, la partie externe 23 du profilé 11 est munie d'un logement 25 destiné à recevoir la bordure périphérique 20 de la nappe 7 tendue. Ce logement 25 comporte un épaulement 26 sur lequel l'extrémité libre de la bordure périphérique 20 vient en appui, permettant ainsi le verrouillage et l'enclenchement de la nappe 7 dans ce logement 25. Ce logement de réception 25 de la bordure périphérique 20 de la nappe 7 tendue est situé à proximité de l'extrémité basale dudit profilé 11.According to an essential characteristic of the invention, the outer portion 23 of the profile 11 is provided with a housing 25 for receiving the peripheral edge 20 of the web 7 stretched. This housing 25 has a shoulder 26 on which the free end of the peripheral edge 20 bears, thus allowing locking and engagement of the web 7 in this housing 25. This receiving housing 25 of the peripheral edge 20 of the stretched sheet 7 is located near the basal end of said profile 11.

Le logement 25 a une section droite globalement rectangulaire ouverte sur un coté, débouchant sur la partie externe 23. L'épaulement 26 est placé au bord de cette ouverture. En outre, dans la variante d'exécution représentée, le logement 25 s'étend perpendiculairement à la partie externe 23, en direction de la partie interne 21.The housing 25 has a generally rectangular cross section open on one side, opening on the outer portion 23. The shoulder 26 is placed at the edge of this opening. In addition, in the embodiment variant shown, the housing 25 extends perpendicularly to the outer part 23, towards the inner part 21.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le logement 25 est situé à proximité de l'extrémité basale du profilé 11.According to another characteristic of the invention, the housing 25 is located near the basal end of the profile 11.

La partie externe 23 comporte également deux logements secondaires 27 pouvant accueillir des joints brosses ou des galets de roulement afin d'améliorer le coulissement du panneau par rapport au cadre externe, si le dispositif est équipé d'une ensemble charnière.The outer portion 23 also comprises two secondary housings 27 that can accommodate brushes or rollers to improve the sliding of the panel relative to the outer frame, if the device is equipped with a hinge assembly.

La partie supérieure 22 est munie d'un logement longitudinal 28 destiné à recevoir des éléments de liaison du châssis 9 au cadre externe 5.The upper part 22 is provided with a longitudinal housing 28 intended to receive connecting elements of the frame 9 to the outer frame 5.

En référence à la figure 4, on décrira une seconde variante d'exécution du profilé constitutif du cadre du panneau. Cette seconde variante présente une structure simplifiée dans laquelle la partie externe 23 du profilé 11 est creuse.With reference to the figure 4 a second embodiment of the constituent section of the panel frame will be described. This second variant has a simplified structure in which the outer portion 23 of the profile 11 is hollow.

Le logement 25 pour l'enclenchement de la bordure périphérique 20 de la nappe 7 tendue est situé immédiatement sous le logement longitudinal 28 de la partie supérieure 22. Le logement 25 est donc situé à proximité de la partie supérieure 22 du profilé 11.The housing 25 for engaging the peripheral edge 20 of the stretched ply 7 is located immediately below the longitudinal housing 28 of the upper portion 22. The housing 25 is therefore located near the upper portion 22 of the profile 11.

La structure de cette variante est donc basée autour d'une âme verticale centrale 30. Son extrémité supérieure est prolongée par le logement longitudinal 28 de la partie supérieure 22. A proximité de cette dernière, sont issues perpendiculairement à l'âme 30 deux ailes 31, 32, une aile interne 31 et une aile externe 32. Le logement 25 pour l'enclenchement de la bordure périphérique 20 de la nappe 7 tendue est compris entre le bord inférieur du logement longitudinal 28, l'âme 30 et l'aile externe 32.The structure of this variant is therefore based around a central vertical core 30. Its upper end is extended by the longitudinal housing 28 of the upper part 22. In the vicinity of the latter, are perpendicularly to the core 30 two wings 31 , 32, an inner wing 31 and an outer wing 32. The housing 25 for engaging the peripheral edge 20 of the stretched web 7 is between the lower edge of the longitudinal housing 28, the core 30 and the outer wing 32.

Le logement 25 présente une section droite globalement rectangulaire ouverte sur un coté, débouchant sur la partie externe 23, avec un épaulement 26 placé au bord de cette ouverture. En outre, dans la variante d'exécution représentée le logement 25 s'étend perpendiculairement à la partie externe 23, en direction de la partie interne 21.The housing 25 has a generally rectangular cross section open on one side, opening on the outer portion 23, with a shoulder 26 placed on the edge of this opening. In addition, in the embodiment shown the housing 25 extends perpendicular to the outer portion 23, towards the inner portion 21.

L'extrémité basale de l'âme verticale 30 est au contact de la partie interne 21 oblique du profilé 11. Cette dernière est prolongée de façon coplanaire par une aile d'appui basale 33 de la nappe 7. Les extrémités libres de l'aile d'appui basale 33 de la nappe et de l'aile externe 32 sont situées dans un même plan. Là encore, on notera que l'empreinte du châssis 3 sur la toile 7 est avantageusement réduite à l'épaisseur de l'aile d'appui 24, se réduisant donc à une simple ligne et supprimant toute ombre portée gênante lorsque le dispositif 1 est muni de moyens d'éclairage sur le fond 15 du cadre externe 5.The basal end of the vertical core 30 is in contact with the oblique inner portion 21 of the profile 11. The latter is extended coplanarly by a basal support wing 33 of the web 7. The free ends of the wing basal support 33 of the web and the outer wing 32 are located in the same plane. Again, note that the footprint of the frame 3 on the fabric 7 is advantageously reduced to the thickness of the support wing 24, thus reducing to a single line and eliminating any annoying drop shadow when the device 1 is provided with lighting means on the bottom 15 of the outer frame 5.

Application industrielleIndustrial application

Dans l'optique d'une utilisation du dispositif selon l'invention en caisson lumineux, la nappe fermant le panneau est de préférence une nappe translucide ou transparente.In view of using the device according to the invention in a light box, the sheet closing the panel is preferably a translucent or transparent sheet.

De préférence, la nappe est réalisée en polychlorure de vinyle PVC.Preferably, the sheet is made of PVC polyvinyl chloride.

En outre, la liaison entre le panneau et le cadre externe sera de préférence réalisée par le biais d'un ensemble charnière permettant le basculement du panneau par rapport audit cadre. Des exemples d'articulation du panneau par rapport à son cadre externe sont connus notamment des documents FR 2 882 588 et FR 2 911 619 , dans le cadre d'une application de type caisson lumineux.In addition, the connection between the panel and the outer frame will preferably be achieved through a hinge assembly for tilting the panel relative to said frame. Examples of articulation of the panel with respect to its external frame are known in particular documents FR 2,882,588 and FR 2 911 619 , in the context of a light box type application.

Il va bien entendu de soi que si le dispositif de fausse paroi selon la présente invention trouve une application particulièrement préférée dans les caissons lumineux, il pourra également être utilisé pour réaliser des éléments décoratifs de type tableau, notamment avec une nappe colorée ou imprimée de motifs sans sortir du cadre de la présente invention.It goes without saying of course that if the false wall device according to the present invention finds a particularly preferred application in the light boxes, it can also be used to realize decorative elements of the table type, in particular with a colored or printed sheet of patterns without departing from the scope of the present invention.
