Description

Domaine techniqueTechnical area

La présente invention concerne un système pour la fixation de lames de bois sur des poutres-support pour la réalisation d'une terrasse.The present invention relates to a system for fixing wood slats on support beams for the realization of a terrace.

Etat de la techniqueState of the art

Des moyens de fixation connus pour ce type de produit sont constitués par des clips à intercaler entre les chants de deux lames successives qui ont été préalablement rainurées. Ces clips forment un U se prolongeant par des bras latéraux coopérant avec les rainures des lames et sont fixés à une poutre-support par clouage ou vissage.Fastening means known for this type of product are constituted by clips to be inserted between the edges of two successive blades which have been previously grooved. These clips form a U extending by lateral arms cooperating with the grooves of the blades and are fixed to a support beam by nailing or screwing.

Ce système présente l'inconvénient d'être onéreux du fait de nécessiter une opération d'usinage des lames, pour réaliser les rainures de chaque côté, inconvénient auquel s'ajoute celui de créer un espace inesthétique important entre les lames, rendant la fixation visible et la possibilité d'encrassement.This system has the disadvantage of being expensive because of requiring a machining operation of the blades, to achieve the grooves on each side, disadvantage to which is added that of creating a significant unesthetic space between the blades, making the fixing visible and the possibility of fouling.

Il existe également un système de fixation s'effectuant par l'intermédiaire de deux plaques complémentaires identiques ou connecteurs, interposées par vissage entre le dessous de deux lames successives et une poutre correspondante, s'étendant perpendiculairement sous celles-ci, chacun des connecteurs présentant une languette plate d'extrémité, se prolongeant par un talon arrière, d'épaisseur double de celle de la languette, lesdits connecteurs étant disposés tête-bêche entre deux lames, de manière que l'un d'eux, étant fixé sur une lame par son talon puis sur la poutre par sa languette, crée un espace entre celle-ci et la lame, de hauteur apte à permettre l'encastrement de la languette de hauteur identique de l'autre connecteur, fixé préalablement sur une lame adjacente.There is also a fixing system effected by means of two identical complementary plates or connectors, interposed by screwing between the underside of two successive blades and a corresponding beam, extending perpendicularly below them, each of the connectors having a flat end tongue, extending by a rear heel, of double thickness of that of the tongue, said connectors being arranged head to tail between two blades, so that one of them, being fixed on a blade by its heel then on the beam by its tongue, creates a space between it and the blade, height capable of allowing the recessing of the tongue of identical height of the other connector, previously fixed on an adjacent blade.

Ce système permet de réduire voire supprimer l'écartement entre les lames et de rendre invisible la fixation, mais présente l'inconvénient de nécessiter un temps de pose long, donc coûteux du fait qu'il nécessite d'utiliser un gabarit de positionnement afin de repérer les trous de fixation. Des systèmes similaires sont connus de DE 10 2008 056 435 A1 , WO 2010/142581 A1 et de DE 10 2008 048 560 A1 .This system makes it possible to reduce or even eliminate the spacing between the blades and to make the fixing invisible, but has the disadvantage of requiring a long exposure time, which is therefore expensive because it requires the use of a positioning jig in order to locate the mounting holes. Similar systems are known to DE 10 2008 056 435 A1 , WO 2010/142581 A1 and of DE 10 2008 048 560 A1 .

Description de l'inventionDescription of the invention

Le but de la présente invention est de faciliter le montage de ces moyens de fixation et donc la mise en oeuvre des lames. Elle concerne à cet effet un système pour la fixation de lames de bois sur des poutres-support, pour la réalisation d'une terrasse, ce système comprenant deux connecteurs du type de plaques de fixation complémentaires comportant des moyens de connexion identiques, interposés par vissage entre deux lames successives et une poutre correspondante, s'étendant perpendiculairement sous celles-ci, les moyens de connexions présentant une languette plate d'extrémité, se prolongeant par un talon arrière, d'épaisseur double de celle de la languette, lesdits connecteurs étant disposés tête-bêche entre deux lames, de manière que l'un d'eux, étant fixé sur une lame par son talon puis sur la poutre par sa languette, crée un espace entre celle-ci et la lame, de hauteur apte à permettre l'encastrement de la languette de hauteur identique de l'autre connecteur, fixé préalablement sur une lame adjacente. Ce système se caractérise en ce que les deux connecteurs sont constitués d'une matière plastique et reliés entre eux de manière monobloc par au moins une zone de contact médiane, pour former un connecteur double, les moyens de connexion de l'un étant retournés par rapport à ceux de l'autre de 180°, les deux connecteurs reliés étant de longueur telle à couvrir la largeur d'une lame, chacune des extrémités dépassantes des languettes étant susceptible de coopérer tête-bêche avec l'extrémité dépassante de la languette, décalée en hauteur d'un double connecteur d'une lame successive.The purpose of the present invention is to facilitate the mounting of these fixing means and thus the implementation of the blades. It relates for this purpose a system for fixing wood strips on support beams, for the realization of a terrace, this system comprising two connectors of the type of complementary fixing plates having identical connection means interposed by screwing between two successive blades and a corresponding beam, extending perpendicularly below them, the connection means having a flat end tongue, extending by a rear heel, twice the thickness of the tongue, said connectors being arranged head-to-toe between two blades, so that one of them, being fixed on a blade by its heel and then on the beam by its tongue, creates a space between it and the blade, of height able to allow the recessing of the tongue of identical height of the other connector, previously fixed on an adjacent blade. This system is characterized in that the two connectors consist of a plastic material and connected together in one piece by at least one middle contact area, to form a double connector, the connection means of one being returned by relative to those of the other 180 °, the two connected connectors being of such length to cover the width of a blade, each of the protruding ends of the tongues being capable of cooperate head-to-tail with the protruding end of the tongue, offset in height of a double connector of a successive blade.

La présente invention concerne également les caractéristiques qui ressortiront au cours de la description qui va suivre, et qui devront être considérées isolément ou selon toutes leurs combinaisons techniques possibles.The present invention also relates to the features which will emerge during the following description, which should be considered in isolation or in all their possible technical combinations.

Description détailléedetailed description

Le système 1 globalement désigné sur les figures est destiné à la fixation de lames de bois 2 sur des poutres-support 3, pour la réalisation d'une terrasse 4.The system 1 generally designated in the figures is intended for fixing wooden strips 2 on support beams 3, for the realization of a terrace 4.

Le système 1 comprend deux plaques de fixation complémentaires identiques 4,5 ou connecteurs, interposées par vissage 6 entre deux lames successives 2,2a et une poutre correspondante 3, s'étendant perpendiculairement sous celles-ci, chacun des connecteurs 4,5 présentant une languette plate d'extrémité 7,8, se prolongeant par un talon arrière 9,10, d'épaisseur double de celle de la languette 7,8, lesdits connecteurs 4,5 étant disposés tête-bêche entre deux lames 2, de manière que l'un d'eux 4, étant fixé sur une lame 2 par son talon 9 puis sur la poutre 3 par sa languette 7, crée un espace « e » entre celle-ci 7 et la lame 2, de hauteur « h » apte à permettre l'encastrement de la languette 8 de hauteur h1 identique de l'autre connecteur 5, fixé préalablement sur une lame adjacente 2a.The system 1 comprises two identical complementary fixing plates 4,5 or connectors, interposed by screwing 6 between two successive blades 2,2a and a corresponding beam 3, extending perpendicularly thereto, each of the connectors 4,5 having a flat end tongue 7,8, extending by a rear heel 9,10, of double thickness of that of the tongue 7,8, said connectors 4,5 being arranged head to tail between two blades 2, so that one of them 4, being fixed on a blade 2 by its heel 9 and then on the beam 3 by its tongue 7, creates a space "e" between the latter 7 and the blade 2, of height "h" fit to allow the embedding of the tongue 8 of height h1 identical to the other connector 5, previously fixed on an adjacent blade 2a.

Selon l'invention, les connecteurs identiques 4,5 sont obtenus deux par deux, de manière monobloc, par moulage d'une matière plastique, l'un étant retourné par rapport à l'autre de 180°, le double connecteur 4,5 ainsi obtenu étant de longueur « L » telle à couvrir la largeur « l » d'une lame 2, chacune des extrémités dépassantes 7a des languettes 7 étant susceptible de coopérer tête-bêche avec l'extrémité dépassante 8a de la languette 8, décalée en hauteur h2 d'un double connecteur identique 4,5 d'une lame successive 2a.According to the invention, the identical connectors 4,5 are obtained two by two, in one piece, by molding a plastic material, one being turned relative to the other 180 °, the double connector 4,5 thus obtained being of length "L" such as to cover the width "l" of a blade 2, each of the protruding ends 7a of the tongues 7 being capable of cooperating head-to-tail with the protruding end 8a of the tongue 8, offset by height h2 of an identical double connector 4,5 of a successive blade 2a.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le connecteur double 4,5 est formé par l'intermédiaire de deux bras de liaison 11,12, issus de leur talon respectif 9,10 et qui s'étendent complémentairement de part et d'autre de l'axe longitudinal XX', dans des directions opposées D1,D2, lesdits bras 11,12 étant décalés longitudinalement selon une valeur « d » permettant l'adaptation du connecteur 4,5 de longueur « L » à une lame 2 de largeur « l » maximum prédéterminée, et reliés entre eux par une zone de contact médiane « a » de faible résistance les rendant sécables, de manière à rendre le double connecteur 4,5 modulable en longueur « L » en fonction de la largeur de lame 2 à poser.According to another characteristic of the invention, the double connector 4,5 is formed by means of two connecting arms 11,12, coming from their respective heels 9,10 and which extend complementarily on both sides of the longitudinal axis XX ', in opposite directions D1, D2, said arms 11,12 being longitudinally offset by a value "d" allowing the adaptation of the connector 4,5 of length "L" to a blade 2 of width "L" predetermined maximum, and interconnected by a low-resistance median contact zone "a" making them breakable, so as to make the double-connector 4,5 adjustable in length "L" as a function of the blade width 2 to put.

Ceci a pour avantage de permettre l'utilisation du double connecteur 4,5 tel quel, dont la largeur est compatible avec une largeur de lame standard maximum (140 mm par exemple), mais aussi sur des lames de dimensions supérieures ou inférieures, après avoir cassé la zone sécable « a » rendant les deux connecteurs 4,5 indépendants et donc ajustables en fonction de la largeur « l » des lames 2.This has the advantage of allowing the use of the double connector 4,5 as is, whose width is compatible with a maximum standard blade width (140 mm for example), but also on blades of larger or smaller dimensions, after having broke the breakable zone "a" making the two connectors 4.5 independent and therefore adjustable according to the width "l" of the blades 2.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, les bras de liaison 11,12 du connecteur double 4,5 comporte une seconde zone de faible résistance « b », réalisée transversalement entre chacun de ceux-ci 11,12 et le talon 9,10 de chacune des parties 4,5 du connecteur double, de manière à pouvoir supprimer complètement lesdits bras 11,12 et obtenir des connecteurs individuels distincts, afin de réduire à la demande la longueur « L » de l'ensemble pour s'auto-adapter à des lames de largeur « l » minimum prédéterminée.According to another characteristic of the invention, the connecting arms 11, 12 of the double connector 4, 5 comprises a second zone of low resistance "b", made transversely between each of these 11, 12 and the heel 9, 10. of each of the parts 4,5 of the double connector, so as to be able to completely remove said arms 11,12 and obtain separate individual connectors, in order to reduce on demand the length "L" of the assembly to self-adapt to blades of predetermined minimum width "l".

Le connecteur double 4,5 peut ainsi être adapté pour de très petites largeurs de lames, 90 mm par exemple.The double connector 4,5 can thus be adapted for very small widths of blades, 90 mm for example.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, la languette 8 de l'une des parties 5 du connecteur double, fixée sous une lame 2a et destinée à s'encastrer dans l'espace « e » créé par la languette 7 de la partie du connecteur double de l'autre lame 2, comporte sur la face supérieure de sa partie d'extrémité dépassante 8a une butée transversale 13 destinée à venir en contact avec le bord longitudinal de la lame sur laquelle est fixé le connecteur double, de manière à faciliter son positionnement avant fixation.According to another characteristic of the invention, the tongue 8 of one of the parts 5 of the double connector, fixed under a blade 2a and intended to fit into the space "e" created by the tongue 7 of the part of the double connector of the other blade 2, has on the upper face of its protruding end portion 8a a transverse stop 13 intended to come into contact with the longitudinal edge of the blade on which is fixed the double connector, so as to facilitate its positioning before fixing.

Ainsi et selon le but principal de l'invention, un même connecteur double pourra s'adapter à plusieurs types de lames, grâce à sa modularité, allant par exemple de 140 mm de large en l'utilisant tel quel ; de 140 mm à 120 mm en désolidarisant partiellement les bras de liaison sécables ; de 120 mm à 90 mm en supprimant complètement lesdits bras de liaison.Thus and according to the main object of the invention, the same double connector can be adapted to several types of blades, thanks to its modularity, for example 140 mm wide by using it as is; from 140 mm to 120 mm by partially separating the breakable connecting arms; from 120 mm to 90 mm by completely removing said connecting arms.

A cet avantage s'ajoute celui de réduire l'écartement des lames et de rendre invisible les connecteurs.To this advantage is added that of reducing the spacing of the blades and to make the connectors invisible.
