Description

La présente invention concerne, dans le domaine de la décoration et de l'ameublement, un dispositif de support d'une tringle à rideau, monté en applique sur une paroi verticale, fixé sans perçage, à proximité d'une paroi horizontale.The present invention relates, in the field of decoration and furnishings, a device for supporting a curtain rod, mounted on a vertical wall, fixed without drilling, near a horizontal wall.

De manière générale une tringle à rideau est disposée au dessus de l'ouverture destinée à être occultée par ledit rideau, et par conséquent assujettie à la paroi verticale dans laquelle est pratiquée ladite ouverture, ou bien à la paroi horizontale en surplomb, en étant maintenue horizontalement et parallèlement à une certaine distance de cette paroi verticale.In general, a curtain rod is disposed above the opening intended to be obscured by said curtain, and therefore secured to the vertical wall in which said opening is made, or to the overhanging horizontal wall, while being maintained. horizontally and parallel to a certain distance from this vertical wall.

La tringle est ainsi soutenue au travers d'au moins deux dispositifs de support qui se présentent sous la forme d'équerres ou analogues, qui comportent un bras, une potence ou une suspente, muni d'un siège de réception de la tringle, et qui est solidaire d'une platine de fixation destinée à être fixée à la paroi verticale ou à la paroi horizontale en surplomb.The rod is thus supported through at least two support devices which are in the form of brackets or the like, which comprise an arm, a bracket or a hanger, provided with a seat for receiving the rod, and which is secured to a mounting plate for attachment to the vertical wall or the overhanging horizontal wall.

De manière habituelle, les platines de ces dispositifs de support sont fixées à la paroi verticale ou horizontale, directement ou indirectement, au travers de moyens de fixation essentiellement des vis, tandis que la paroi destinée à recevoir les platines est soit un mur, soit un plafond, soit un caisson de volet etc...In the usual way, the plates of these support devices are fixed to the vertical or horizontal wall, directly or indirectly, through fastening means essentially screws, while the wall intended to receive the plates is either a wall or a ceiling, either a shutter box etc ...

La fixation de ces dispositifs de support nécessite donc de recourir à des opérations de perçage, avec pour inconvénients que certains utilisateurs ne peuvent pas réaliser de tels perçages, soit parce qu'ils ne savent pas ou ne sont pas équipés pour les faire, soit qu'ils ne veulent pas les réaliser pour ne pas risquer de dégrader leur habitat, soit encore que les parois ne permettent ces perçages.Fixing these support devices therefore requires the use of drilling operations, with the disadvantages that some users can not make such holes, either because they do not know or are not equipped to do, or that they do not want to carry them out so as not to risk degrading their habitat, even if the walls do not allow these holes.

Pour pallier ces inconvénients il a déjà et proposé de fixer des dispositifs de support par collage, c'est par exemple le cas dans le document GB 1325117 , où il est proposé de fixer les platines à une paroi, verticale ou horizontale, au travers d'un ruban adhésif double face, avec toutefois l'inconvénient d'une fixation aléatoire, puisque la tringle et le rideau qu'elle porte exercent un effort en traction sur ledit ruban adhésif.To overcome these drawbacks, it has already been proposed to fix support devices by gluing, this is for example the case in the document GB 1325117 , where it is proposed to fix the plates to a wall, vertical or horizontal, through a double-sided adhesive tape, with the disadvantage of a random fixing, since the rod and the curtain it carries exert a tensile force on said adhesive tape.

On connaît également d'autres documents dans lesquels les dispositifs de support sont conformés en forme de crochet conçu pour s'accrocher à un élément de la paroi à équiper, tandis qu'un ruban adhésif double face permet d'assurer le verrouillage du crochetage, ce qui nécessite toutefois une configuration particulière de la ou les parois supports. C'est par exemple le cas des dispositifs de support décrits dans le document FR 2887417 , où ils sont limités à être accrochés au vantail d'une fenêtre ou d'une porte.Other documents are also known in which the support devices are shaped in the form of a hook designed to attach to an element of the wall to be equipped, while a double-sided adhesive tape makes it possible to lock the hooking, which however requires a particular configuration of the or the support walls. This is for example the case of the support devices described in the document FR 2887417 , where they are limited to being hung on the leaf of a window or door.

On connaît également par le document US 2 679 373 , qui divulgue un dispositif comportant toutes les caractéristiques du préambule de la revendication 1, une tringle à rideau et son dispositif de suspension, destiné à un assujettissement à une partie fixe de construction et plus particulièrement à un rebord horizontal comprenant deux parois planes, l'une horizontale et l'autre verticale, faisant entre elles un angle. Ledit dispositif de suspension comprend deux pièces destinées chacune à porter une extrémité de la tringle, et qui comportent chacune d'une part une pièce en L de fixation sur l'angle formé par les deux parois au bord supérieur horizontal d'une paroi, et d'autre part un élément saillant, support de ladite tringle. Chaque pièce en L comprend deux parties faisant entre elles un angle droit, à savoir une partie supérieure destinée à prendre appui sur la paroi horizontale et une partie inférieure destinée à être plaquée contre la paroi verticale. La fixation des pièces en L est réalisée au travers de vis ou clous, et dans le but de faciliter la mise en place des pièces en L, celles-ci sont munies du côté intérieur, d'une bande adhésive, permettant de maintenir les pièces en L en position, le temps de la mise en place des vis ou clous. On pourrait imaginer que seule la bande adhésive soit utilisée pour la fixation, mais la pièce en L est monobloc, et du fait de la rigidité d'une telle fixation, il n'y a pas de renvoi et de décomposition des forces. La gravité a donc tendance à entraîner la pièce en L en pivotement sur la paroi verticale, en sorte que l'adhésif reliant sa partie supérieure à la paroi horizontale travaille en arrachement, ce qui consiste en un inconvénient.It is also known from the document US 2,679,373 , which discloses a device comprising all the features of the preamble of claim 1, a curtain rod and its suspension device, intended to be secured to a fixed part of construction and more particularly to a horizontal rim comprising two flat walls, the one horizontal and the other vertical, forming an angle between them. Said suspension device comprises two parts each intended to carry one end of the rod, and which each comprise on the one hand a fastening L-shaped piece on the angle formed by the two walls at the upper horizontal edge of a wall, and on the other hand a projecting element, support of said rod. Each L-shaped part comprises two parts forming between them a right angle, namely an upper part intended to bear on the horizontal wall and a lower part intended to be pressed against the vertical wall. The fixing of the L-shaped parts is carried out through screws or nails, and in order to facilitate the installation of the L-shaped parts, they are provided on the inside with an adhesive tape, allowing to maintain the parts L in position, the time of the establishment of screws or nails. One could imagine that only the adhesive tape is used for fixing, but the L-piece is monobloc, and because of the rigidity of such a fixation, there is no return and decomposition of forces. Gravity therefore tends to lead to the L-shaped part pivoting on the vertical wall, so that the adhesive connecting its upper part to the horizontal wall works tearing, which is a disadvantage.

La présente invention a pour but de proposer un dispositif de support d'une tringle à rideau selon la revendication 1, monté en applique sur une paroi verticale à proximité d'une paroi horizontale, qui permet de remédier aux divers inconvénients précités, notamment en étant fixé solidement sans avoir besoin de recourir à une opération de perçage.The present invention aims to provide a curtain rod support device according to claim 1, mounted on a vertical wall close to a horizontal wall, which overcomes the various aforementioned drawbacks, including being fixed securely without the need for a piercing operation.

Le dispositif de support d'une tringle à rideau, monté en applique sur une paroi verticale, fixé sans perçage à proximité d'une paroi horizontale selon l'invention, comprend un bras, une potence ou une suspente, destiné à supporter une partie de ladite tringle à rideau tout en l'écartant de ladite paroi verticale, et il comporte un moyen de fixation par collage à plat sur ladite paroi horizontale au moyen d'un matériau adhésif, ledit bras, potence ou suspente, coopérant avec des moyens de prise d'appui contre ladite paroi verticale, ledit dispositif comportant de plus des moyens de renvoi et de décomposition la force de réaction à la gravité qui s'exerce sur ledit bras, potence ou suspente, en sorte de la décomposer en d'une part une force d'accroissement de l'appui contre ladite paroi verticale, et d'autre part une force de traction ou de poussée s'exerçant sur ledit moyen de fixation par collage et selon une direction parallèle au plan de collage. Le moyen de fixation par collage à plat sur ladite paroi horizontale au moyen d'un matériau adhésif, qui peut comporter un joint au niveau collage, ne travaille pas en traction ou en pelage, mais en cisaillement, ainsi tout le matériau adhésif contribue à la résistance de la liaison.The device for supporting a curtain rod, mounted on a vertical wall, fixed without drilling in the vicinity of a horizontal wall according to the invention, comprises an arm, a bracket or a suspension, intended to support a portion of said curtain rod while spacing it from said vertical wall, and it comprises a fixing means by flat gluing on said horizontal wall by means of an adhesive material, said arm, bracket or hanger cooperating with gripping means bearing against said vertical wall, said device further comprising means for returning and decomposing the force of reaction to gravity which is exerted on said arm, bracket or hanger, so as to break it down on the one hand a force of increase of the support against said vertical wall, and secondly a traction or thrust force exerted on said fixing means by bonding and in a direction parallel to the bonding plane. The flat-gluing fastening means on said horizontal wall by means of an adhesive material, which may comprise a gluing joint, does not work in tension or in peeling, but in shear, so all the adhesive material contributes to the resistance of the connection.

Selon l'invention, le dispositif de support 1 comprend un bras 10, qui s'étend horizontalement en s'écartant de la paroi verticale V, et qui est muni à son extrémité libre d'un siège 11 destiné à recevoir la tringle T. Il comporte également un levier 12, solidaire du bras 10, qui fait avec ce dernier un angle droit, et qui est disposé parallèlement à la paroi verticale V, tandis qu'un plot d'ancrage 13, qui peut se présenter sous la forme d'une plaque, est collé à plat au plafond P, en surplomb du bras 10 et à une certaine distance de la paroi verticale V, en sorte de ménager un espace E, ce collage étant réalisé au moyen d'un matériau adhésif 14.According to the invention, the support device 1 comprises an arm 10, which extends horizontally away from the vertical wall V, and which is provided at its free end with a seat 11 intended to receive the rod T. It also comprises a lever 12, integral with the arm 10, which forms a right angle with the latter, and which is arranged parallel to the vertical wall V, while an anchor pad 13, which can be in the form of a plate, is glued flat to the ceiling P, overhanging the arm 10 and at a distance from the vertical wall V, so as to provide a space E, this bonding being effected by means of an adhesive material 14.

La partie extrême 15 du levier 12 située à proximité de la jonction de ce dernier avec le bras 10, et qui définit une zone d'appui contre la paroi verticale V, est garnie d'un matériau adhésif 16.The end portion 15 of the lever 12 located near the junction of the latter with the arm 10, and which defines a bearing zone against the vertical wall V, is lined with an adhesive material 16.

Lors de la mise en oeuvre du dispositif de support selon l'invention, l'extrémité libre 17 du levier 12 est engagée dans l'espace E, et le matériau adhésif 16 est appliqué sur la paroi verticale V.During the implementation of the support device according to the invention, the free end 17 of the lever 12 is engaged in the space E, and the adhesive material 16 is applied to the vertical wall V.

On comprendra que la force G, qui résulte du poids de l'ensemble, et notamment de la tringle T et du rideau, non représenté, et qui tend à faire basculer le bras 10, est décomposée en une force A de pression de la partie extrême 15 contre la paroi verticale V, et en une force F de pression de l'extrémité 17 du levier 12 contre le plot 13. La force A tend à accroître l'adhérence du levier 12 à la paroi verticale V au travers du matériau adhésif 16, tandis que la force F est de direction parallèle au plan de collage du plot 13 au plafond P, et essentiellement dans ce plan, en sorte que le joint travaille en cisaillement, et tout le matériau adhésif 14 contribue à la résistance de la liaison.It will be understood that the force G, which results from the weight of the assembly, and in particular of the rod T and the curtain, not shown, and which tends to tilt the arm 10, is decomposed into a pressure force A of the part extreme force against the vertical wall V, and in a force F of pressure of the end 17 of the lever 12 against the stud 13. The force A tends to increase the adhesion of the lever 12 to the vertical wall V through the adhesive material 16, while the force F is from direction parallel to the bonding plane of the pad 13 to the ceiling P, and essentially in this plane, so that the seal works in shear, and all the adhesive material 14 contributes to the strength of the connection.

On notera que le matériau adhésif 16 peut être remplacé par un matériau non adhésif, mais de préférence antidérapant.Note that the adhesive material 16 may be replaced by a non-adhesive, but preferably non-slip material.

En référence maintenant à la figure 2, on peut voir une variante du mode de réalisation du dispositif de support 1 selon l'invention. Cette variante diffère essentiellement en ce que la liaison de l'extrémité 17 du levier 12 avec le plot d'ancrage 13, est réalisée par l'intermédiaire d'une came 18 montée en pivotement sur ce dernier, et qui permet d'extraire de la force F une composante D assurant une pression du plot 13 contre le plafond P.Referring now to the figure 2 a variant of the embodiment of the support device 1 according to the invention can be seen. This variant differs essentially in that the connection of the end 17 of the lever 12 with the anchor pad 13 is formed by means of a cam 18 pivotally mounted on the latter, and which makes it possible to extract the force F a component D ensuring a pressure of the stud 13 against the ceiling P.

On notera que le système à came peut être remplacé par d'autres remplissant les mêmes fonctions.Note that the cam system can be replaced by others performing the same functions.

En référence maintenant à la figure 3, on peut voir dans une autre variante, que la partie extrême 15 du levier 12 repose sur un plot 160 collé à la paroi verticale V sous ce levier 12 au travers d'un adhésif 161. Dans ce mode de réalisation, les adhésifs 14 et 161 travaillent en cisaillement.Referring now to the figure 3 it can be seen in another variant, that the end portion 15 of the lever 12 rests on a stud 160 bonded to the vertical wall V under this lever 12 through an adhesive 161. In this embodiment, the adhesives 14 and 161 work in shear.

En référence maintenant à la figure 4, on peut voir une autre variante du dispositif de support 1 selon l'invention.Referring now to the figure 4 we can see another variant of the support device 1 according to the invention.

Cette autre variante du dispositif de support 1 est destinée à être utilisée au moins par paire, pour maintenir une tringle à rideau T, à une certaine distance d'une paroi verticale V, et plus particulièrement la paroi frontale d'un caisson C, dont la paroi supérieure S est accessible.This other variant of the support device 1 is intended to be used at least in pairs, to maintain a curtain rod T, at a distance from a vertical wall V, and more particularly the front wall of a box C, of which the upper wall S is accessible.

Ce mode de réalisation diffère du premier en ce que le plot d'ancrage 13, qui consiste également en une plaque qui est collée à plat sur la paroi supérieure S au moyen d'un matériau adhésif 14, tout en faisant déborder au-delà du plan de la paroi verticale V, une partie de cette plaque, partie dans laquelle est ménagé un trou 19 destiné à recevoir l'extrémité 17 du levier 12.This embodiment differs from the first in that the anchor pad 13, which also consists of a plate which is glued flat on the top wall S by means of an adhesive material 14, while overflowing beyond the plane of the vertical wall V, a part of this plate, part in which is formed a hole 19 for receiving the end 17 of the lever 12.

On comprendra que le plot 13 retient le levier 12, et empêche donc le basculement du bras 10, là encore la force F résultant de la force G, et qui exerce une traction sur le plot 13, est de direction parallèle au plan de collage de ce dernier sur la paroi S, et essentiellement dans ce plan, en sorte que le joint travaille en cisaillement.It will be understood that the stud 13 retains the lever 12, and therefore prevents the arm 10 from tilting, again the force F resulting from the force G, and which exerts traction on the stud 13, is of direction parallel to the bonding plane of the latter on the wall S, and essentially in this plane, so that the seal works in shear.

En référence maintenant à la figure 5, on peut voir un autre mode de réalisation du dispositif de support selon l'invention, adapté pour maintenir une tringle à rideau T, à une certaine distance d'une paroi verticale V, et plus particulièrement la paroi frontale d'un caisson C, dont la paroi supérieure S est accessible.Referring now to the figure 5 another embodiment of the support device according to the invention can be seen, adapted to maintain a curtain rod T at a distance from a vertical wall V, and more particularly the front wall of a box C, whose upper wall S is accessible.

Ce dispositif 2 comprend une sangle 20 munie à une extrémité d'une boucle 21 formant un siège à la tringle T. il comprend également une étai 22 qui s'étend obliquement vers le haut depuis la paroi verticale V sur laquelle une extrémité 25 de l'étai 22, garnie d'un matériau adhésif 26, prend appui. L'autre extrémité 23 de la sangle 20, est collée à plat sur la paroi S, au moyen d'un matériau adhésif 24, tandis que la sangle 20 passe sur l'extrémité libre 27 de l'étai 22, en sorte de diviser la sangle 20 en deux brins, un brin 28 s'étendant horizontalement entre le matériau adhésif 24 et l'extrémité 27 de l'étai 22, et un brin 29 s'étendant verticalement entre cette extrémité 27 et la boucle 21.This device 2 comprises a strap 20 provided at one end with a loop 21 forming a seat on the rod T. It also comprises a strut 22 which extends obliquely upwardly from the vertical wall V on which one end 25 22, lined with an adhesive material 26, is supported. The other end 23 of the strap 20, is glued flat on the wall S, by means of an adhesive material 24, while the strap 20 passes over the free end 27 of the strut 22, so as to divide the strap 20 in two strands, a strand 28 extending horizontally between the adhesive material 24 and the end 27 of the stay 22, and a strand 29 extending vertically between this end 27 and the loop 21.

La force G, qui résulte du poids de l'ensemble, et notamment de la tringle T et du rideau, non représenté, est décomposée en une force A de pression de l'extrémité 25 de l'étai 22 contre la paroi verticale V, et en une force F de traction sur l'extrémité 23 de la sangle 20. La force A tend à accroître l'adhérence de l'extrémité 25 de l'étai 22 à la paroi verticale V au travers du matériau adhésif 26, tandis que la force F est de direction parallèle au plan de collage à la paroi S, et essentiellement dans ce plan, en sorte que le joint travaille en cisaillement, et que tout le matériau adhésif 24 contribue à la résistance de la liaison.The force G, which results from the weight of the assembly, and in particular of the rod T and the curtain, not shown, is decomposed into a force A of pressure of the end 25 of the strut 22 against the vertical wall V, and a pulling force F on the end 23 of the strap 20. The force A tends to increase the adhesion of the end of the strut 22 to the vertical wall V through the adhesive material 26, while the force F is of direction parallel to the bonding plane to the wall S, and essentially in this plane, so that the seal works in shear, and that all the adhesive material 24 contributes to the strength of the bond.

En référence maintenant à la figure 6, on peut voir que dans une variante, la boucle 21 de retenue de la tringle T, résulte du doublement de la sangle 20, dont les deux extrémités 23 et 23 sont collées l'une à l'autre et sur la paroi S.Referring now to the figure 6 it can be seen that in a variant, the loop 21 for retaining the rod T, results from the doubling of the strap 20, the two ends 23 and 23 of which are glued to each other and to the wall S.
