Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de fixation amovible sur un sol d'éléments de revêtement tels que des dalles ou des lés de moquette.The present invention relates to a removable attachment device on a floor of coating elements such as slabs or carpets.

Un tel dispositif est adapté à la pose de moquette dans des habitations, des immeubles de bureaux, des locaux commerciaux et également dans des locaux à usage événementiel.Such a device is suitable for laying carpet in homes, office buildings, commercial premises and also in premises for events.

Des dalles ou des lés de moquette ne peuvent, en règle générale, pas être directement posés sur le sol sans utiliser des moyens de nature à les empêcher de glisser.Slabs or carpets may not, as a rule, be placed directly on the floor without the use of means to prevent them from slipping.

Pour cette raison, de tels éléments de revêtement sont le plus souvent collés, ce qui implique un procédé d'application long et incommode pour les poseurs, donc en corollaire onéreux et exclut de surcroît toute possibilité d'enlèvement d'un élément et de repositionnement de celui-ci après dépose et de recyclage aisé.For this reason, such coating elements are most often bonded, which implies a long and inconvenient application process for the installers, therefore expensive corollary and further excludes any possibility of removal of an element and repositioning of it after removal and easy recycling.

Certains fabricants ont également déjà tenté d'introduire sur le marché des moquettes adhésives, ce qui alourdit leur processus de fabrication.Some manufacturers have also tried to introduce adhesive carpets into the market, which adds to their manufacturing process.

La présente invention a pour objet de remédier à ces inconvénients en proposant un dispositif de fixation amovible sur un sol d'éléments de revêtement tels que des dalles ou des lés de moquette peu onéreux au niveau de sa fabrication, particulièrement simple d'utilisation, donc permettant aux poseurs d'obtenir un gain de temps appréciable et parallèlement de nature à faciliter l'enlèvement et le repositionnement, le remplacement et le recyclage des éléments de revêtement.The present invention aims to overcome these disadvantages by providing a removable fastening device on a floor of coating elements such as slabs or inexpensive carpet tiles at the level of its manufacture, particularly easy to use, so allowing the installers to gain appreciable time and in parallel to facilitate the removal and repositioning, replacement and recycling of the coating elements.

Selon l'invention, un tel dispositif est constitué par un tapis intercalaire continu destiné à être positionné entre le sol et les éléments de revêtement, en particulier les dalles ou les lés de moquette.According to the invention, such a device is constituted by a continuous intermediate carpet intended to be positioned between the floor and the covering elements, in particular the slabs or the carpet strips.

Ce tapis intercalaire est composé d'une nappe support de feutre aiguilleté à base de fibres synthétiques, en particulier de fibres en polyester dont les deux faces sont respectivement enduites d'une résine de blocage antiglissante exempte de composés organiques volatils, en particulier d'une résine acrylique.This intermediate mat is composed of a needle-fiber felt backing mat made of synthetic fibers, in particular polyester fibers, the two faces of which are each coated with a non-slip blocking resin free of volatile organic compounds, in particular a acrylic resin.

L'épaisseur de cette nappe support peut bien entendu varier en fonction du niveau de confort souhaité.The thickness of this support web can of course vary according to the desired level of comfort.

Selon l'invention, un tel tapis intercalaire a toutefois en règle générale une épaisseur de l'ordre de 2 mm.According to the invention, such an intermediate belt, however, generally has a thickness of the order of 2 mm.

Ce tapis dont la composition permet de respecter les normes en vigueur relatives à la protection de l'environnement se distingue parallèlement par des caractéristiques avantageuses de résistance à la température, aux substances chimiques et à l'usure par frottement, et en outre d'isolation acoustique.This carpet, whose composition makes it possible to comply with the standards in force relating to the protection of the environment, is distinguished at the same time by advantageous characteristics of resistance to temperature, to chemical substances and to frictional wear, and in addition to insulation acoustic.

Selon l'invention, l'enduction de la nappe support est en règle générale effectuée par projection d'une résine de blocage antiglissante sur chacune des faces de celle-ci.According to the invention, the coating of the support ply is generally carried out by spraying a non-slip blocking resin on each of the faces thereof.

Les résines ainsi projetées sur les deux faces de la nappe support peuvent être identiques sans pour cela sortir du cadre de l'invention.The resins thus projected on both sides of the support ply may be identical without departing from the scope of the invention.

Il est toutefois particulièrement avantageux de projeter respectivement une résine distincte sur chacune de ces faces par enduction différenciée.However, it is particularly advantageous to project a separate resin respectively on each of these faces by differentiated coating.

A cet effet et selon une caractéristique préférentielle de l'invention, la nappe support est enduite d'une résine de blocage poissante sur l'une de ses faces ou première face destinée à venir en contact avec le sol et d'une résine de blocage adhérente sur son autre face ou seconde face destinée à venir en contact avec les éléments de revêtement.For this purpose and according to a preferred feature of the invention, the support ply is coated with a tacky blocking resin on one of its faces or first face intended to come into contact with the ground and a blocking resin adherent on its other side or second face intended to come into contact with the coating elements.

L'accrochage au sol de la première face du tapis intercalaire est ainsi plus fort que l'accrochage des éléments de revêtement sur la seconde face de ce tapis dans la mesure où la résine de blocage poissante possède un pouvoir adhérent plus fort que la résine de blocage adhérente.The grounding of the first face of the intermediate carpet is thus stronger than the attachment of the coating elements on the second face of this carpet since the tacky blocking resin has a stronger adhesion than the resin of sticky blocking.

Un tel tapis intercalaire correspond à un produit écologique dans la mesure où il permet de fixer sur un sol quelconque des éléments de revêtement tels que des dalles ou des lés de moquette sans les coller, mais en garantissant une adhérence suffisante pour exclure tout risque de glissement pouvant entraîner leur disjonction, notamment dans un bureau, suite au déplacement d'une chaise ou d'un meuble autre et où il permet un remplacement aisé d'éléments de revêtement usagés ainsi que le recyclage de ces éléments.Such an intermediate carpet corresponds to an ecological product insofar as it makes it possible to fix on any ground any covering elements such as slabs or carpet tiles without sticking them, but guaranteeing a sufficient adhesion to exclude any risk of slipping. which may lead to their disjunction, particularly in an office, following the movement of a chair or other furniture and where it allows easy replacement of used coating elements and the recycling of these elements.

Ce tapis intercalaire présente en outre l'avantage de permettre d'enlever facilement des éléments de revêtement, notamment dans le cas où il est nécessaire d'avoir accès à des gaines techniques en découpant un tronçon de ce tapis puis de repositionner et refixer ces éléments en réutilisant le tronçon de tapis préalablement découpé ou en utilisant un tronçon identique.This intermediate carpet also has the advantage of allowing easy removal of coating elements, especially in the case where it is necessary to have access to technical ducts by cutting a section of the carpet and then reposition and reattach these elements. by reusing the previously cut section of carpet or by using an identical section.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, la seconde face de la nappe support enduite d'une résine de blocage adhérente est recouverte d'un film de protection amovible.According to another characteristic of the invention, the second face of the support ply coated with an adherent blocking resin is covered with a removable protective film.

Cette caractéristique est de nature à simplifier la pose des éléments de revêtement et de permettre de réaliser lors de celle-ci une économie de temps appréciable.This feature is likely to simplify the installation of the coating elements and allow to achieve during it an appreciable time saving.

En effet, le tapis intercalaire peut avantageusement être présenté en rouleau et être déroulé à plat sur le sol.Indeed, the intermediate belt can advantageously be presented in roll and be unrolled flat on the ground.

Les éléments de revêtement peuvent ensuite être positionnés sur ce tapis en retirant au fur et à mesure le film de protection.The coating elements can then be positioned on this carpet by removing the protective film as and when.

On peut ainsi obtenir un revêtement tel qu'une moquette offrant un confort acoustique et à la marche remarquables et se distinguant en outre par des caractéristiques « fire-retardant ».It is thus possible to obtain a coating such as a carpet providing excellent acoustic and walking comfort and also distinguished by "fire-retardant" characteristics.
