Description

La présente invention concerne un profilé universel, plus particulièrement un profilé adapté à la réalisation de parois.The present invention relates to a universal profile, more particularly a profile adapted to the production of walls.

Pour la réalisation de caissons, boitiers ou similaires, notamment dans des locaux dits humides (salles d'eau, salles de bains, chaufferies, toilettes, ...), il est courant de réaliser des caissons, boitiers ou similaires pour dissimuler des conduites, raccords ou autres éléments techniques. Les parois de ces caissons ou similaires, sont réalisées le plus souvent à l'aide de plaques composites présentant une âme en polystyrène extrudé, cette dernière étant recouverte sur ses deux faces principales d'une couche de fibres de verre et d'un mortier spécial. Une telle plaque est particulièrement bien adaptée pour servir de support à un carrelage.For the realization of caissons, boxes or the like, especially in so-called wet rooms (bathrooms, bathrooms, boiler rooms, toilets, ...), it is common to make boxes, boxes or the like to hide pipes , fittings or other technical elements. The walls of these boxes or the like are most often made using composite plates having an extruded polystyrene core, the latter being covered on its two main faces with a layer of glass fibers and a special mortar. . Such a plate is particularly well suited to serve as a support for a tile.

Pour maintenir les plaques utilisées pour réaliser le caisson, il convient de réaliser une ossature. Celle-ci est le plus souvent fabriquée à l'aide de profilés métalliques en U qui sont découpés, pliés, ... à façon par l'artisan réalisant le caisson.To maintain the plates used to make the box, it is necessary to realize a frame. This is most often made using U-shaped metal profiles that are cut, folded, ... by the craftsman making the box.

La présente invention a alors pour but de fournir un profilé qui facilite le travail de l'artisan et qui puisse être utilisé aussi bien comme rail (horizontal) que comme montant (vertical). Bien entendu, l'utilisation d'un tel profilé ne sera pas limité à la réalisation de caissons ou similaires dans des locaux humides mais pourra avantageusement être également utilisé à d'autres fins.The present invention therefore aims to provide a profile that facilitates the work of the artisan and can be used both as a rail (horizontal) as upright (vertical). Of course, the use of such a profile will not be limited to the production of boxes or the like in damp rooms but may advantageously also be used for other purposes.

À cet effet, la présente invention propose un profilé destiné à la réalisation d'une structure d'une paroi, présentant un fond duquel s'étendent d'un même côté deux parois latérales sensiblement parallèles. Un tel profilé correspond à un profilé à section en U, connu de l'homme du métier.To this end, the present invention provides a profile for the realization of a structure of a wall, having a bottom of which extend on the same side two substantially parallel side walls. Such a profile corresponds to a section section U, known to those skilled in the art.

Un profilé selon la présente invention comporte en outre une troisième paroi appelée paroi centrale, parallèle aux deux parois latérales, disposée entre celles-ci de manière à être sensiblement plus proche d'une paroi latérale dite première paroi latérale que de l'autre paroi latérale dite seconde paroi latérale. Un tel profilé est également connu de DE 23 31 432 A1 , qui divulgue un profilé destiné à la réalisation d'une structure de paroi avec les caractéristiques du préambule de la revendication 1.A profile according to the present invention further comprises a third wall called central wall, parallel to the two side walls, disposed therebetween so as to be substantially closer to a side wall called first side wall than to the other side wall said second side wall. Such a profile is also known from DE 23 31 432 A1 , which discloses a profile for the realization of a wall structure with the features of the preamble of claim 1.

Ainsi, le profilé selon la présente invention est un profilé avec les caractéristiques de la revendication 1, de section en U dont une branche est dédoublée en deux. Cette branche dédoublée est alors formée ici par la paroi centrale et la première paroi latérale. Une telle forme générale permet d'envisager diverses variantes de réalisation d'un profilé pouvant être utilisé pour réaliser une structure d'un caisson ou similaire.Thus, the profile according to the present invention is a profile with the features of claim 1, of U-section, a branch is split in two. This split branch is then formed here by the central wall and the first side wall. Such a general shape makes it possible to envisage various variant embodiments of a profile can be used to make a structure of a box or the like.

Pour permettre un montage tête bêche de deux profilés similaires et obtenir ainsi un profilé fermé d'inertie améliorée, il est proposé, selon la revendication 1, pour un profilé selon la présente invention que la distance séparant la paroi centrale de la première paroi latérale soit inférieure au double de l'épaisseur maximale de la seconde paroi latérale. Cette distance correspond à la largeur de l'espace disponible entre la paroi centrale et la première paroi latérale. Cette distance, dans une forme de réalisation préférée, sera de préférence juste supérieure à l'épaisseur maximale de la seconde paroi latérale, et sera par exemple égale à cette épaisseur maximale augmentée de quelques dixièmes de millimètre.To allow a head-to-tail assembly of two similar sections and thus obtain an improved closed profile of inertia, it is proposed, according to claim 1, for a profile according to the present invention that the distance separating the central wall of the first side wall is less than twice the maximum thickness of the second side wall. This distance corresponds to the width of the space available between the central wall and the first side wall. This distance, in a preferred embodiment, will preferably be just greater than the maximum thickness of the second side wall, and will for example be equal to this maximum thickness increased by a few tenths of a millimeter.

Pour faciliter un emboîtement tête bêche de deux profilés selon l'invention, il est également prévu que la hauteur de la paroi centrale, mesurée à partir du fond, est inférieure à la hauteur de chacune des parois latérales.To facilitate a head-to-tail connection of two profiles according to the invention, it is also provided that the height of the central wall, measured from the bottom, is less than the height of each of the side walls.

Pour qu'il soit possible d'insérer un second profilé similaire à un premier profilé selon la présente invention entre la paroi centrale et la seconde paroi latérale du premier profilé, ces profilés sont de préférence chacun tel que la distance séparant la seconde paroi latérale de la paroi centrale est supérieure à la hauteur de la paroi latérale la plus haute augmentée de l'épaisseur maximale du fond.So that it is possible to insert a second section similar to a first section according to the present invention between the central wall and the second side wall of the first section, these profiles are preferably each such that the distance separating the second side wall of the central wall is greater than the height of the highest side wall increased by the maximum thickness of the bottom.

Pour permettre un accrochage de deux profilés similaires selon l'invention, la seconde paroi latérale et la paroi centrale portent chacune sur leur face orientée vers la première paroi latérale au moins un crochet.To allow a hooking of two similar sections according to the invention, the second side wall and the central wall each bear on their side facing the first side wall at least one hook.

Pour faciliter l'assemblage de deux profilés selon l'invention, les deux profilés s'étendant dans deux directions orthogonales, on peut prévoir qu'au moins une paroi latérale présente une fente perpendiculaire au fond du profilé, ladite fente étant disposée à une distance d'une extrémité du profilé correspondant sensiblement à la distance séparant la paroi centrale de la seconde paroi latérale.To facilitate the assembly of two profiles according to the invention, the two profiles extending in two orthogonal directions, it can be provided that at least one side wall has a slot perpendicular to the bottom of the profile, said slot being disposed at a distance one end of the profile corresponding substantially to the distance between the central wall of the second side wall.

Selon une autre variante de réalisation, toujours pour faciliter un assemblage orthogonal de deux profilés, le fond du profilé présente au niveau de l'une de ses extrémités une première fente longitudinale s'étendant entre la paroi centrale et la première paroi latérale et une seconde fente longitudinale adjacente à la seconde paroi latérale, la distance séparant les deux fentes longitudinales étant égale à la distance séparant la paroi centrale de la seconde paroi latérale.According to another variant embodiment, again to facilitate an orthogonal assembly of two profiles, the bottom of the profile has at one of its ends a first longitudinal slot extending between the central wall and the first side wall and a second longitudinal slot adjacent to the second side wall, the distance separating the two longitudinal slots being equal to the distance between the central wall of the second side wall.

Le fond, les deux parois latérales et la paroi centrale d'un profilé selon la présente invention sont sensiblement plans de manière à faciliter la fixation d'une plaque de parement sur l'une ou l'autre des faces de ce profilé.The bottom, the two side walls and the central wall of a profile according to the present invention are substantially planar so as to facilitate the attachment of a facing plate on one or other of the faces of this profile.

La présente invention concerne aussi un ensemble formé par deux profilés, tel que défini à la revendication 5.The present invention also relates to an assembly formed by two sections, as defined in claim 5.

Enfin, la présente invention concerne également une structure telle que définie dans la revendication 6, comportant des montants sensiblement verticaux et des rails sensiblement horizontaux entre lesquels sont disposés les montants verticaux, ladite structure étant destinée à recevoir un parement de manière à former une paroi, caractérisée en ce qu'au moins un élément de ladite structure choisi dans l'ensemble des montants et des rails de cette structure comporte ou est un profilé selon l'une des revendications 1 à 4, ou au moins un montant de cette structure comporte un ensemble selon la revendication 5.Finally, the present invention also relates to a structure as defined in claim 6, comprising substantially vertical uprights and substantially horizontal rails between which are arranged the vertical uprights, said structure being intended to receive a facing so as to form a wall, characterized in that at least one element of said structure selected from the set of uprights and rails of this structure comprises or is a profile according to one of claims 1 to 4, or at least one amount of this structure comprises a assembly according to claim 5.

La figure 1 montre une section transversale d'une forme de réalisation d'un profilé. Comme on peut le voir sur cette figure, le profilé proposé comporte un fond 2 plan d'une épaisseur donnée sur toute la largeur (et la longueur) du profilé. On remarque que deux parois latérales s'étendent d'un même côté du fond 2 à partir des bords libres longitudinaux de celui-ci.The figure 1 shows a cross section of an embodiment of a profile. As can be seen in this figure, the proposed profile has a plane bottom 2 of a given thickness over the entire width (and length) of the profile. Note that two side walls extend from the same side of the bottom 2 from the longitudinal free edges thereof.

Comme on le voit sur cette même figure 1, une troisième paroi, appelée paroi centrale 4, s'étend parallèlement aux deux parois latérales, entre celles-ci. Cette paroi centrale 4 est disposée de manière à être sensiblement plus proche d'une paroi latérale que l'on appellera par la suite première paroi latérale 6, l'autre paroi latérale étant appelée par la suite seconde paroi latérale 8.As we see on this same figure 1 a third wall, called the central wall 4, extends parallel to the two side walls, therebetween. This central wall 4 is arranged to be substantially closer to a side wall which will be called later first side wall 6, the other side wall being called later second side wall 8.

Les dimensions de la section du profilé représenté sur la figure 1 sont avantageusement telles qu'elles permettent d'emboiter deux profilés similaires selon l'invention comme illustré sur les figures 2 et 3.The dimensions of the profile section shown on the figure 1 are advantageously such that they make it possible to fit two similar sections according to the invention as illustrated on the Figures 2 and 3 .

Pour réaliser l'emboîtement montré sur la figure 2, on suppose donc que la distance séparant la paroi centrale 4 de la première paroi latérale 6 est telle qu'entre ces deux parois on puisse introduire une seconde paroi latérale 8. À titre d'exemple numérique non limitatif, la largeur de l'espace laissé entre la paroi centrale 4 et la première paroi latérale 6 est par exemple plus grande que l'épaisseur de la seconde paroi latérale 8 de quelques dixièmes de millimètres, voire d'un millimètre. On peut ainsi prévoir que la largeur de l'espace libre entre la paroi centrale 4 et la première paroi latérale 6, correspondant à la distance séparant la paroi centrale 4 de la première paroi latérale 6, est inférieure au double de l'épaisseur de la seconde paroi latérale 8.To achieve the nesting shown on the figure 2 it is therefore assumed that the distance separating the central wall 4 from the first lateral wall 6 is such that between these two walls it is possible to introduce a second lateral wall 8. As a nonlimiting numerical example, the width of the space left between the central wall 4 and the first side wall 6 is for example greater than the thickness of the second side wall 8 of a few tenths of millimeters, or even a millimeter. It is thus possible to provide that the width of the free space between the central wall 4 and the first lateral wall 6, corresponding to the distance separating the central wall 4 from the first lateral wall 6, is less than twice the thickness of the second side wall 8.

Dans un tel cas de figure, on peut donc venir emboîter tête bêche deux profilés similaires selon la présente invention en introduisant à chaque fois la seconde paroi latérale 8 d'un profilé entre la paroi centrale 4 et la première paroi latérale 6 de l'autre profilé.In such a case, it is therefore possible to fit head-to-tail two similar sections according to the present invention by introducing each time the second side wall 8 of a profile between the central wall 4 and the first side wall 6 of the other profile.

Comme illustré sur la figure 3, il est prévu de préférence qu'un profilé selon la présente invention puisse accueillir entre sa paroi centrale 4 et la seconde paroi latérale 8, un second profilé similaire pivoté de 90°. On prévoit ici que la hauteur totale H du profilé soit inférieure à la largeur de l'espace libre entre la paroi centrale 4 et la seconde paroi latérale 8. Cette largeur correspond à la distance D2 séparant la paroi centrale 4 de la seconde paroi latérale 8. On peut supposer ici également que la largeur D2 est supérieure à la hauteur H de quelques dixièmes de millimètres ou éventuellement de quelques millimètres.As illustrated on the figure 3 , it is preferably provided that a profile according to the present invention can accommodate between its central wall 4 and the second side wall 8, a second similar section rotated 90 °. It is provided here that the total height H of the profile is less than the width of the free space between the central wall 4 and the second side wall 8. This width corresponds to the distance D2 between the central wall 4 of the second side wall 8 It can also be assumed here that the width D2 is greater than the height H by a few tenths of a millimeter or possibly a few millimeters.

Sur la figure 1, on a appelé e1 l'épaisseur de la paroi centrale 4, e2 l'épaisseur de la seconde paroi latérale 8 et e3 l'épaisseur de la première paroi latérale 6.On the figure 1 e1 is the thickness of the central wall 4, e2 is the thickness of the second side wall 8 and e3 is the thickness of the first side wall 6.

Dans une première forme de réalisation, on peut prévoir que les épaisseurs des trois parois sont les mêmes (e1 = e2 = e3). Dans une variante de réalisation, on peut toutefois prévoir également des épaisseurs de parois différentes. Ainsi, comme par exemple illustré sur la figure 7, on peut par exemple prévoir que la paroi centrale 4 et la seconde paroi latérale 8 présentent une même épaisseur (e1 = e2) et que la première paroi latérale 6 présente une épaisseur moindre (e3 < e1).In a first embodiment, it can be provided that the thicknesses of the three walls are the same (e1 = e2 = e3). In an alternative embodiment, however, it is also possible to provide different wall thicknesses. Thus, as for example illustrated on the figure 7 it can for example be provided that the central wall 4 and the second lateral wall 8 have the same thickness (e1 = e2) and that the first lateral wall 6 has a smaller thickness (e3 <e1).

L'épaisseur au niveau du fond 2 n'est pas forcément constante non plus. Dans le cas de figure représenté sur la figure 7, dans lequel la paroi centrale 4 présente une épaisseur similaire à celle de la seconde paroi latérale 8, on peut par exemple prévoir une épaisseur constante du fond 2 entre la paroi centrale 4 et la seconde paroi latérale 8 et une épaisseur de fond moindre entre la paroi centrale 4 et la première paroi latérale 6. Dans le cas où l'épaisseur du fond 2 n'est pas constante, on prévoira de préférence que la face inférieure 10 du fond 2, c'est-à-dire la face opposée aux diverses parois, est sensiblement plane.The thickness at the bottom 2 is not necessarily constant either. In the case of figure represented on the figure 7 , in which the central wall 4 has a thickness similar to that of the second side wall 8, it is possible for example to provide a constant thickness of the bottom 2 between the central wall 4 and the second side wall 8 and a smaller bottom thickness between the central wall 4 and the first side wall 6. In the case where the thickness of the bottom 2 is not constant, it will preferably be provided that the bottom face 10 of the bottom 2, that is to say the face opposite the various walls, is substantially flat.

La figure 4 illustre un profilé selon la présente invention en vue de côté. Ce profilé présente une longueur L. Pour être facilement manipulable, on choisira par exemple L compris entre 1 ,50 m et 2,50 m.The figure 4 illustrates a profile according to the present invention in side view. This profile has a length L. To be easily manipulated, we choose for example L between 1.50 m and 2.50 m.

Dans la forme de réalisation représentée sur la figure 4, la section du profilé est constante sur toute la longueur L de celui-ci, sauf au niveau de fentes 12. Ces dernières sont réalisées dans toutes les parois (paroi centrale 4, première paroi latérale 6 et deuxième paroi latérale 8) à une distance prédéterminée D de chaque extrémité libre du profilé. Chaque fente 12 est de préférence réalisée sur toute la hauteur de la paroi correspondante.In the embodiment shown in the figure 4 , the section of the profile is constant over the entire length L thereof, except at the slots 12. These are formed in all the walls (central wall 4, first side wall 6 and second side wall 8) at a distance predetermined D of each free end of the profile. Each slot 12 is preferably made over the entire height of the corresponding wall.

Ces fentes 12 sont de préférence suffisamment larges pour pouvoir recevoir un fond 2 d'un profilé similaire selon la présente invention. Il est alors possible d'assembler deux profilés selon l'invention en introduisant le fond 2 de l'un des profilés dans les fentes 12 de l'autre profilé. Les deux profilés s'étendent alors dans des directions perpendiculaires l'une par rapport à l'autre.These slots 12 are preferably wide enough to accommodate a bottom 2 of a similar profile according to the present invention. It is then possible to assemble two profiles according to the invention by introducing the bottom 2 of one of the profiles in the slots 12 of the other profile. The two sections then extend in directions perpendicular to each other.

La figure 5 illustre une autre variante de réalisation permettant également d'assembler deux profilés selon la présente invention perpendiculairement l'un à l'autre. Il est prévu ici de réaliser des fentes 14 longitudinales à au moins une extrémité libre d'un profilé. Une fente longitudinale 14 est réalisée ainsi par exemple dans le fond 2 entre la paroi centrale 4 et la première paroi latérale 6. Une autre fente 14, similaire à la première, est quant à elle réalisée dans le fond 2 à proximité immédiate de la seconde paroi latérale 8. La longueur de ces fentes 14 correspond sensiblement à la plus grande des hauteurs de la paroi centrale 4 et de la seconde paroi latérale 8.The figure 5 illustrates another alternative embodiment also for assembling two profiles according to the present invention perpendicularly one to the other. It is intended here to make slots 14 longitudinal at least one free end of a profile. A longitudinal slot 14 is thus made for example in the bottom 2 between the central wall 4 and the first side wall 6. Another slot 14, similar to the first, is in turn made in the bottom 2 in the immediate vicinity of the second side wall 8. The length of these slots 14 substantially corresponds to the greatest height of the central wall 4 and the second side wall 8.

La figure 6 illustre à titre d'exemple non limitatif une structure pouvant être obtenue à l'aide de profilé selon la présente invention.The figure 6 illustrates by way of non-limiting example a structure that can be obtained using a profile according to the present invention.

La figure 7 illustre un assemblage de trois profilés selon la présente invention. Il s'agit ici d'une variante de réalisation de profilé selon la présente invention. Comme déjà mentionné, on a dans cette forme de réalisation, une épaisseur e3 de la première paroi latérale 6 inférieure aux épaisseurs e1 et e2 de la paroi centrale 4 et de la seconde paroi latérale 8 respectivement. Alors que dans la forme de réalisation de la figure 3 il était prévu de venir loger un seul profilé entre la paroi centrale 4 et la seconde paroi latérale 8, il est prévu dans la forme de réalisation de la figure 7 de loger deux profilés emboîtés tête bêche comme illustré sur la figure 2 entre la paroi centrale 4 et la seconde paroi latérale 8 du profilé. La hauteur des diverses parois, la distance D2 séparant la paroi centrale 4 de la seconde paroi latérale 8 et l'épaisseur maximale du fond 2 sont adaptées de manière à pouvoir réaliser l'assemblage montré sur la figure 7. On a donc ici une distance D2 correspondant à la distance entre la paroi centrale 4 et la seconde paroi latérale 8 au moins égale à la hauteur maximale d'un profilé augmentée de l'épaisseur maximale du fond 2 d'un profilé similaire.The figure 7 illustrates an assembly of three profiles according to the present invention. This is an alternative embodiment of profile according to the present invention. As already mentioned, there is in this embodiment, a thickness e3 of the first side wall 6 less than the thicknesses e1 and e2 of the central wall 4 and the second side wall 8 respectively. While in the embodiment of the figure 3 it was planned to accommodate a single profile between the central wall 4 and the second side wall 8, it is provided in the embodiment of the figure 7 to accommodate two profiles nested head to tail as shown on the figure 2 between the central wall 4 and the second side wall 8 of the profile. The height of the various walls, the distance D2 separating the central wall 4 from the second lateral wall 8 and the maximum thickness of the bottom 2 are adapted so as to be able to realize the assembly shown on the drawing. figure 7 . There is therefore here a distance D2 corresponding to the distance between the central wall 4 and the second side wall 8 at least equal to the maximum height of a profile increased by the maximum thickness of the bottom 2 of a similar section.

Les figures 8 à 10 illustrent une forme de réalisation d'un profilé selon l'invention. La structure globale du profilé reste la même, seules changent les diverses hauteurs de parois et les épaisseurs de ces parois et du fond. Les mêmes références sont donc reprises pour désigner des éléments similaires. On
retrouve donc ici un fond 2 avec une face inférieure 12. Du côté opposé à ladite face inférieure 12 s'étendent une paroi centrale 4, une première paroi latérale 6 et une seconde paroi latérale 8.The Figures 8 to 10 illustrate an embodiment of a profile according to the invention. The overall structure of the profile remains the same, only change the various heights of walls and the thickness of these walls and the bottom. The same references are therefore used to designate similar elements. We
thus found here a bottom 2 with a lower face 12. On the opposite side to said lower face 12 extend a central wall 4, a first side wall 6 and a second side wall 8.

Dans la présente forme de réalisation, la face inférieure 12 est plane. L'épaisseur du fond 2 est moindre entre la paroi centrale 4 et la première paroi latérale 6 qu'entre la paroi centrale 4 et la seconde paroi latérale 8.In the present embodiment, the lower face 12 is flat. The thickness of the bottom 2 is less between the central wall 4 and the first lateral wall 6 than between the central wall 4 and the second lateral wall 8.

Comme on peut le voir, la hauteur de la paroi centrale 4 est bien inférieure à celle des parois latérales. Comme il ressort d'une analyse de la figure 10, on peut remarquer que la hauteur de la seconde paroi latérale 8 est légèrement inférieure à celle de la première paroi latérale 6. On appelle ici hauteur d'une paroi la distance séparant son bord libre de la face inférieure 12. Lorsque deux profilés similaires, semblables au profilé montré sur la figure 8, sont mis tête bêche (figure 10), on remarque que la hauteur de la première paroi latérale 6 correspond à la hauteur de la seconde paroi latérale 8 augmentée de l'épaisseur du fond 2 entre la paroi centrale 4 et la première paroi latérale 6.As can be seen, the height of the central wall 4 is much lower than that of the side walls. As can be seen from an analysis of figure 10 it may be noted that the height of the second lateral wall 8 is slightly smaller than that of the first lateral wall 6. Here, the height of a wall is called the distance separating its free edge from the lower face 12. When two similar sections, similar to the profile shown on the figure 8 , are put head to tail ( figure 10 ), it is noted that the height of the first side wall 6 corresponds to the height of the second side wall 8 increased by the thickness of the bottom 2 between the central wall 4 and the first side wall 6.

Dans la forme de réalisation représentée, les épaisseurs des trois parois sont différentes. On a ici e3 < e1 < e2.In the embodiment shown, the thicknesses of the three walls are different. Here we have e3 <e1 <e2.

La forme de réalisation d'un profilé selon l'invention montrée sur les figures 8 à 10 présente également la particularité de comporter des crochets 16. Ces derniers sont réalisés à proximité du bord libre de la paroi centrale 4 et de la seconde paroi latérale 8, à chaque fois sur la face de cette paroi orientée vers la première paroi latérale 6. Les crochets 16 sont formés par un profilé en sapin sur la face correspondante de la paroi centrale 4 et de la seconde paroi latérale 8.The embodiment of a profile according to the invention shown on the Figures 8 to 10 also has the particularity to include hooks 16. These are made near the free edge of the central wall 4 and the second side wall 8, each time on the face of this wall facing the first side wall 6. The hooks 16 are formed by a fir profile on the corresponding face of the central wall 4 and the second lateral wall 8.

La figure 9 montre une position relative de deux profilés similaires conformes aux modes de réalisation montrée sur la figure 8, pour le transport de ces profilés.The figure 9 shows a relative position of two similar sections according to the embodiments shown on the figure 8 , for the transport of these profiles.

La figure 10 montre quant à elle une position de mise en oeuvre de deux profilés similaires à celui montré sur la figure 8. Dans cette position, deux profilés sont montés de telle sorte que la seconde paroi latérale 8 d'un profilé vienne prendre place entre la première paroi latérale 6 de l'autre profilé et la paroi centrale 4 de cet autre profilé. Les crochets 16 d'une paroi centrale 4 d'un profilé viennent alors coopérer avec les crochets 16 de la seconde paroi latérale 8 de l'autre profilé. La distance entre la paroi centrale 4 et la première paroi latérale 6 est telle que les crochets 16 viennent en prise l'un avec l'autre grâce à la déformation élastique des profilés correspondants. Une fois en position accrochée, cet espace n'est pas suffisant pour que le jeu latéral entre les deux profilés puisse permettre le décrochage involontaire des crochets 16 concernés.The figure 10 shows a position of implementation of two profiles similar to that shown on the figure 8 . In this position, two sections are mounted so that the second side wall 8 of a section comes to take place between the first side wall 6 of the other section and the central wall 4 of the other section. The hooks 16 of a central wall 4 of a profile then cooperate with the hooks 16 of the second side wall 8 of the other section. The distance between the central wall 4 and the first side wall 6 is such that the hooks 16 engage one with the other thanks to the elastic deformation of the corresponding profiles. Once in the hooked position, this space is not sufficient for the lateral play between the two sections can allow the unintentional unhooking of the hooks 16 concerned.

Dans cette position accrochée des deux profilés, on remarque que l'on forme une pièce sensiblement tubulaire de profilé extérieur rectangulaire. On peut ainsi réaliser un poteau sur lequel des plaques de parement 18 peuvent être fixées à l'aide de vis 20.In this hooked position of the two sections, it is noted that one forms a substantially tubular piece of rectangular outer profile. It is thus possible to make a post on which cladding plates 18 can be fixed using screws 20.

Les plaques de parement 18 sont par exemple des plaques de polystyrène extrudé recouvertes des deux côtés d'une couche de fibre de verre et d'un mortier. Il peut s'agir bien entendu d'une plaque de parement d'une autre nature.The facing plates 18 are for example extruded polystyrene plates covered on both sides with a fiberglass layer and a mortar. It may be of course a face plate of another nature.

Un profilé selon la présente invention est de préférence réalisé en matière synthétique, tel par exemple du PVC (polychlorure de vinyle). Un profilé selon l'invention peut alors être obtenu par exemple par extrusion ou pultrusion.A profile according to the present invention is preferably made of synthetic material, such as for example PVC (polyvinyl chloride). A profile according to the invention can then be obtained for example by extrusion or pultrusion.

Il est toutefois également envisageable de réaliser un profilé selon l'invention en métal. Il peut alors s'agir, à titre d'exemple, d'un profilé extrudé réalisé dans un alliage à base d'aluminium.However, it is also conceivable to produce a profile according to the invention made of metal. It can then be, for example, an extruded profile made of an aluminum-based alloy.

Comme il ressort de la description qui précède, un profilé selon la présente invention permet un emboîtement tête bêche avec un profilé similaire afin de constituer un profilé de section sensiblement rectangulaire. Ce nouveau profilé obtenu par l'emboîtement de deux profilés selon la présente invention, présente alors une inertie plus grande. Ce profilé à section rectangulaire peut être alors utilisé pour réaliser une structure pour la réalisation d'une cloison ou d'un plafond. Comme indiqué dans la description plus haut, il est possible de positionner perpendiculairement l'un à l'autre deux profilés selon la présente invention. Toutefois, on peut également envisager avec deux profilés selon l'invention d'avoir une liaison en angle, l'angle de liaison étant alors compris de préférence entre 45 et 135°.As apparent from the foregoing description, a profile according to the present invention allows a head-to-tail connection with a similar profile to form a section of substantially rectangular section. This new profile obtained by the interlocking of two profiles according to the present invention, then has a greater inertia. This rectangular section profile can then be used to achieve a structure for the realization of a partition or a ceiling. As indicated in the description above, it is possible to position two sections perpendicularly to one another according to the present invention. However, it is also possible with two profiles according to the invention to have an angle connection, the connection angle then being preferably between 45 and 135 °.

Enfin, en venant simplement couper un tronçon de profilé, il est possible de créer un connecteur servant soit à abouter deux profilés, soit à lier deux profilés en angle.Finally, simply by cutting a section of section, it is possible to create a connector for either to butt two profiles, or to bind two profiles at an angle.

La forme du profilé selon la présente invention, dans ses diverses variantes, permet une utilisation en rail, montant, ....The shape of the profile according to the present invention, in its various variants, allows use in rail, amount, ....

Bien entendu, la présente invention ne se limite pas aux formes de réalisation décrites ci-dessus à titre d'exemples non limitatifs et aux variantes évoquées. Elle concerne également toutes les variantes de réalisation à la portée de l'homme du métier dans le cadre des revendications ci-après.Of course, the present invention is not limited to the forms of embodiment described above as non-limiting examples and variants mentioned.
