Description

Est ici concerné un dispositif de fixation. Plus particulièrement, il s'agit d'un dispositif de fixation de corniches ou d'étagères, notamment par rapport à deux plans d'appui muraux disposés angulairement l'un par rapport à l'autre. Ainsi, le dispositif est conçu pour décorer les angles des pièces d'une habitation, pour former un objet concourant à l'aménagement des pièces d'une habitation, comme par exemple un meuble de rangement dans ou sur lequel peuvent être rangés des objets.Here is concerned a fixing device. More particularly, it is a device for fixing cornices or shelves, particularly with respect to two wall support planes arranged angularly relative to each other. Thus, the device is designed to decorate the corners of the rooms of a house, to form an object contributing to the layout of the rooms of a house, such as a storage cabinet in or on which objects can be arranged.

Dans le domaine, on connaît un dispositif de fixation de corniches ou d'étages d'angle par rapport à deux plans d'appui formant un angle inférieur à 135° l'un par rapport à l'autre. Ce dispositif est constitué d'une structure fixé au mur par des moyens de fixation du type visserie ou clous.In the field, there is known a device for fixing cornices or stages of angle with respect to two support planes forming an angle less than 135 ° with respect to each other. This device consists of a structure attached to the wall by fixing means of the type screws or nails.

Dans ces dispositifs, divulgués, par exemple, par les documents US5992654A et US6059128A , au moins deux points d'appui sont destinés à pénétrer relativement profondément dans les parois du mur s'étendant selon les plans d'appui muraux, et nécessitent l'apport de moyens de fixation du type visserie, lesquels sont la plupart du temps accompagnés de chevilles de fixation.In these devices, disclosed, for example, by the documents US5992654A and US6059128A at least two points of support are intended to penetrate relatively deeply into the walls of the wall extending along the wall support planes, and require the provision of fixing means of the screw type, which are mostly accompanied anchors.

Ainsi, lorsqu'un sujet prévoit d'installer le dispositif précité, dans un but décoratif ou fonctionnel (pour les rangements), il doit dans un premier temps déterminer la nature des parois du mur, c'est-à-dire s'il s'agit de ciment, de béton, de plâtre etc.. A défaut de déterminer correctement la nature des parois du mur, le sujet pourrait voir son dispositif tomber, faute d'unThus, when a subject plans to install the aforementioned device for a decorative or functional purpose (for storage), he must first determine the nature of the walls of the wall, that is to say if This is cement, concrete, plaster, etc. For lack of correctly determine the nature of the walls of the wall, the subject could see his device fall, for lack of a

ancrage adéquat dans les parois du mur. Dans un second temps, le sujet doit déterminer la charge qu'il souhaite voir supporter par le dispositif de fixation, afin de déterminer le diamètre de la vis et sa cheville correspondante. Par ailleurs, en fonction des matériaux composant les parois du mur, il doit connaitre certaines astuces, comme par exemple, que dans des matériaux durs, le diamètre du trou de perçage et le diamètre de la cheville doivent être équivalents, alors que dans un matériau creux ou friable, le diamètre du trou de perçage doit être légèrement inférieur au diamètre de la cheville.adequate anchorage in the walls of the wall. In a second step, the subject must determine the load he wants to be supported by the fastener, to determine the diameter of the screw and its corresponding peg. Moreover, depending on the materials of the walls of the wall, he must know some tricks, as for example, that in hard materials, the diameter of the drilling hole and the diameter of the ankle must be equivalent, while in a material hollow or friable, the diameter of the drill hole must be slightly smaller than the diameter of the ankle.

En outre, avant de percer la paroi d'un mur, il faut d'abord s'assurer qu'à l'endroit du perçage, ladite paroi du mur ne renferme ni tuyauterie, ni circuit électrique.In addition, before drilling the wall of a wall, it must first be ensured that at the location of the bore, said wall of the wall contains no piping or electrical circuit.

Les opérations ci-dessus mentionnés sont chronophages, nécessitent des connaissances en bricolage et font des traces visibles sur la paroi d'un mur - nécessitant lors du retrait du dispositif de combler les traces visibles.The operations mentioned above are time-consuming, require craftsmanship and make visible traces on the wall of a wall - requiring the removal of the device to fill visible traces.

Dans ce contexte, le problème ici posé est de réaliser un dispositif de fixation du type précité qui soit de construction simple, permettant une installation rapide et assez simple pour qu'un sujet ne disposant pas de connaissances en bricolage puisse l'installer de manière autonome. De plus, le présent dispositif vise à répondre au problème des traces visibles lors du retrait du dispositif, lesquelles sont causées par l'ancrage des moyens de fixation dans les parois.In this context, the problem posed here is to provide a fixing device of the aforementioned type which is of simple construction, allowing a quick and easy installation so that a subject with no knowledge of DIY can install it autonomously . In addition, the present device aims to address the problem of visible traces during removal of the device, which are caused by the anchoring of the fastening means in the walls.

La solution proposée par la présente invention est un dispositif tel que décrit par la revendication 1.The solution proposed by the present invention is a device as described by claim 1.

Dans un autre mode particulier de réalisation, lesdites résultantes seraient symétriquement opposées.In another particular embodiment, said resultants would be symmetrically opposite.

Un agencement du dispositif, dans lequel les résultantes sont symétriquement opposées induit une meilleure répartition des efforts entre le dispositif d'une part, et les plans d'appui d'autre part.An arrangement of the device, in which the resultants are symmetrically opposed, induces a better distribution of the forces between the device on the one hand and the support planes on the other hand.

Dans un mode de réalisation, ledit au moins un moyen élastique, de préférence un ressort de compression, est lié solidairement à des premier et deuxième bras, lesdits premier et deuxième bras étant disposés chacun d'un côté différent d'un plan médian transversal du dispositif.In one embodiment, said at least one elastic means, preferably a compression spring, is integrally bonded to first and second arms, said first and second arms being each disposed on a different side of a transverse median plane of device.

L'adjonction d'un moyen élastique permet de renforcer la raideur, ou bien d'affiner la raideur donné au dispositif. La conformation de tels éléments permet d'augmenter, d'affiner, les résultantes issues des plans d'appui. La raideur du dispositif est intimement liée à la force à exercer sur le dispositif dans sa deuxième position afin de « compresser » le dispositif, et aux résultantes issues des plans d'appui s'exerçant sur les points d'appui. A titre d'exemple, plus la raideur du dispositif est importante, plus les résultantes issues des plans d'appui et s'exerçant sur les plans d'appui sont importantes. De tels effets permettent à un sujet de prendre en compte des paramètres tel que le revêtement appliqué sur les plans d'appui, et la charge que supporte le dispositif.The addition of an elastic means makes it possible to reinforce the stiffness, or to refine the stiffness given to the device. The conformation of such elements makes it possible to increase and refine the results resulting from the support planes. The stiffness of the device is closely related to the force to be exerted on the device in its second position in order to "compress" the device, and to the results resulting from the support planes acting on the support points. By way of example, the greater the stiffness of the device, the greater the results resulting from the support planes and acting on the support planes are important. Such effects allow a subject to take into account parameters such as the coating applied to the support planes, and the load that the device supports.

Dans un mode de réalisation, ledit au moins un moyen élastique s'étend entre lesdits au moins deux bras. La conformation des deux bras améliore l'ergonomie et la prise en main du dispositif par un sujet. En outre, cette conformation présente un aspect plus noble et son utilisation est très simple.In one embodiment, said at least one resilient means extends between said at least two arms. The conformation of the two arms improves the ergonomics and grip of the device by a subject. In addition, this conformation has a more noble aspect and its use is very simple.

Dans un autre mode de réalisation, ledit au moins un moyen élastique s'étend entre chacun desdits au moins deux bras et le châssis. Selon l'invention, le dispositif comprend des premier et deuxième supports destinés, respectivement, à être accolés à des premier et second plans d'appui, ledit premier support définissant un angle par audit deuxième support, ledit angle étant sensiblement égal à celui formé entre lesdits deux plans d'appui, lesdits premier et deuxième supports étant solidaires d'un châssis.In another embodiment, said at least one resilient means extends between each of said at least two arms and the frame. According to the invention, the device comprises first and second supports intended respectively to be contiguous to first and second bearing planes, said first support defining an angle by said second support, said angle being substantially equal to that formed between said two support planes, said first and second supports being integral with a frame.

L'agencement des premier et deuxième supports permet à un utilisateur d'améliorer l'agencement du dispositif dans l'espace. Il permet en outre des contacts linéiques entre le dispositif et chacun des plans d'appui.The arrangement of the first and second supports allows a user to improve the arrangement of the device in space. It also allows linear contacts between the device and each of the support planes.

Dans un autre mode de réalisation, le dispositif comprendrait au moins un organe de manoeuvre destiné à rapprocher lesdits aux moins deux points d'appui.In another embodiment, the device comprises at least one operating member intended to bring said at least two points of support.

Cela permet avantageusement à un utilisateur de manipuler le dispositif de manière simple et rapide.This advantageously allows a user to manipulate the device quickly and easily

Dans un autre mode de réalisation, les résultantes desdits au moins deux points d'appui s'étendent dans une même direction.In another embodiment, the results of said at least two support points extend in the same direction.

Toutes les caractéristiques qui précèdent peuvent se combiner en tout ou partie.All of the foregoing features may be combined in whole or in part.

Le dispositif 1 de fixation de corniches ou d'étagères est adapté à être positionné quelle soit l'angle formé entre deux plans d'appui (P) (voir figure 12). Classiquement, ces plans d'appui (P) sont constitués par des parois 7 (voir figures 11 et 12) du type mur ou plafond, dans une pièce d'un bâtiment dit classique.The device 1 for fixing cornices or shelves is adapted to be positioned regardless of the angle formed between two support planes (P) (see figure 12 ). Conventionally, these support plans (P) are constituted by walls 7 (see figures 11 and 12 ) of the wall or ceiling type, in a room of a so-called classic building.

On décrit ci-après le dispositif 1 dans sa configuration la plus classique correspondant à sa mise en place le long de deux parois 7 adjacentes à 90°. Ce dispositif 1 peut en outre comprendre un élément 2 de corniches ou d'étagères (représenté sur la figure 12). Cet élément 2 présente une forme et des dimensions appropriées pour assurer l'obturation de la partie d'angle correspondante des plans d'appui (P) entre eux. L'apparence de cet élément 2 est quelconque.Device 1 is described below in its most conventional configuration corresponding to its placement along two walls 7 adjacent to 90 °. This device 1 may further comprise an element 2 of cornices or shelves (shown in FIG. figure 12 ). This element 2 has a shape and dimensions suitable to ensure the closure of the corresponding corner portion of the bearing planes (P) therebetween. The appearance of this element 2 is arbitrary.

Selon l'invention, le dispositif 1 comprend :

  • au moins un élément 3 comprenant au moins un moyen élastique 4 ;
  • au moins deux points d'appui 5 ; chacun desdits au moins deux points d'appui 5 étant disposés sur l'un desdits au moins un élément 3 ; des premier 5a et second 5b points d'appui.
Au moins un moyen élastique 4 et lesdits au moins deux points d'appui 5 définissent au moins deux positions :
  • une première position (A) dans laquelle ledit au moins un moyen élastique 4 est dans un état de fixation et lesdits au moins deux points d'appui 5 sont chacun contraints par des résultantes (R) issues d'un desdits deux plans d'appui (P), lesdites résultantes (R) étant sensiblement égales et opposées; lesdits au moins deux points d'appui 5 étant séparés d'une distance (d1) ;
  • une deuxième position dans laquelle ledit au moins un moyen élastique 4 est dans un état de compression ; lesdits au moins deux points d'appui 5 sont séparés d'une distance (d2), ladite distance (d2) étant inférieure à ladite distance (d1).
According to the invention, the device 1 comprises:
  • at least one element 3 comprising at least one elastic means 4 ;
  • at least two support points 5 ; each of said at least two support points 5 being disposed on one of said at least one element 3 ; first 5a and second 5b points of support.
At least one elastic means 4 and said at least two support points 5 define at least two positions:
  • a first position (A) in which said at least one resilient means 4 is in a fixing state and said at least two support points 5 are each constrained by resultants (R) issuing from one of said two support planes (P), said resultants (R) being substantially equal and opposite; said at least two support points 5 being separated by a distance (d1);
  • a second position wherein said at least one resilient means 4 is in a compression state; said at least two support points 5 are separated by a distance (d2), said distance (d2) being less than said distance (d1).

Suivant un premier mode de réalisation non conforme à l'invention, ledit au moins un élément 3 constitue ledit au moins un moyen élastique 4. According to a first embodiment not in accordance with the invention, said at least one element 3 constitutes said at least one elastic means 4.

Dans un mode de réalisation non conforme à l'invention montré sur les figures 1 à 5 et la figure 10, le dispositif 1 de fixation présente sensiblement une forme de C, de U, ou d'arc.In an embodiment not according to the invention shown on the Figures 1 to 5 and the figure 10 , the fixing device 1 has substantially a shape of C, U, or arc.

Sur les figures 1 à 5 et la figure 10, le dispositif 1 comprenant un seul élément 3, est conformé monobloc au moyen d'opération de pliage et de découpage, de manière que l'élément 3 définissant une tige 20 constitue le moyen élastique 4. L'élément 3 comprend deux extrémités au bout desquelles se trouvent, pour chacune, un point d'appui. Classiquement, les deux extrémités définissent pour chacune, par exemple une pointe 8. D'un point de vue théorique, le point d'appui est formé par la partie terminale de la pointe 8 devant être en contact avec les plans d'appui (P).On the Figures 1 to 5 and the figure 10 , the device 1 comprising a single element 3, is integrally formed by means of folding and cutting operation, so that the element 3 defining a rod 20 constitutes the elastic means 4. The element 3 comprises two ends at the end of which there is, for each, a point of support. Conventionally, the two ends define for each, for example a point 8. From a theoretical point of view, the fulcrum is formed by the end portion of the tip 8 to be in contact with the bearing planes (P ).

Dans ce mode de réalisation non conforme à l'invention, le dispositif 1 comprend, dans sa première position, deux points d'appui 5 en contact avec lesdits plans d'appui (P). Il y a deux résultantes (R) des forces de chacun des plans d'appui (P) sur le point d'appui lui correspondant. Les résultantes (R) sont symétriquement opposés. En outre, elles sont orientées suivant la même direction. En additionnant vectoriellement les deux résultantes (R) des plans d'appui (P) sur les points d'appui 5, on obtient un vecteur nul, correspondant à un état d'équilibre du dispositif 1 par rapport aux plans d'appui (P).In this embodiment not according to the invention, the device 1 comprises, in its first position, two bearing points 5 in contact with said bearing planes (P). There are two resultants (R) of the forces of each of the support planes (P) on the fulcrum corresponding to it. The resultants (R) are symmetrically opposite. In addition, they are oriented in the same direction. By summing vectorially the two resultants (R) of the support planes (P) on the support points 5, a zero vector is obtained, corresponding to a state of equilibrium of the device 1 with respect to the support planes (P). ).

Sur la figure 1, un ressort est lié solidairement à des première 21 et deuxième 22 portions de l'élément 3. Ces portions se situent de part et d'autre du plan médian transversal (Pmt) du dispositif 1. On the figure 1 a spring is integrally bonded to first 21 and second 22 portions of the element 3. These portions lie on either side of the transverse median plane (P mt ) of the device 1.

Comme montré sur la figure 1, le dispositif 1 peut comprendre un lien 23, formant organe de manoeuvre, servant à lier les deux extrémités de l'élément 3. Classiquement, ce lien 23 est du type corde ou fil et est agencé de manière que le lien 23 est une tension - permettant le bandage du dispositif 1 à la manière d'un arc. De cette manière, lorsqu'un effort est exercé au droit du lien 23, les deux extrémités du dispositif 1 se rapprochent. La distance séparant les deux points d'appui 5 est alors relativement plus faible, et le dispositif 1 est prêt pour être fixé sur les plans d'appui (P). Ensuite, l'utilisateur cesse de produire d'exercer un effort sur le lien 23 et les deux points d'appui 5 viennent entrer en contact avec les deux plans d'appui (P'), (P") qui leur sont adjacents, avant de s'ancrer de manière superficielle dans les parois 7, 7a, 7b. As shown on the figure 1 , the device 1 may comprise a link 23, forming an operating member, serving to link the two ends of the element 3. Conventionally, this link 23 is of the cord or wire type and is arranged so that the link 23 is a voltage - allowing the bandage of the device 1 in the manner of an arc. In this way, when a force is exerted to the right of the link 23, the two ends of the device 1 come closer together. The distance separating the two support points 5 is then relatively lower, and the device 1 is ready to be fixed on the support planes (P). Then, the user stops producing force on the link 23 and the two support points 5 come into contact with the two support planes (P '), (P ") which are adjacent to them, before being anchored superficially in the walls 7, 7a, 7b.

Comme montré sur les figures 4 et 5, l'organe de manoeuvre peut comprendre une tirette 25 constitué d'un élément de préhension 25a solidaire d'une attache 25b, laquelle relie l'élément de préhension 25a au lien 23. As shown on figures 4 and 5 , the operating member may comprise a pull tab 25 consisting of a gripping element 25a integral with a fastener 25b, which connects the gripping element 25a to the link 23.

Pour installer le dispositif 1 à des fins d'utilisation, l'utilisateur prend en main le dispositif 1 alors qu'il est en position de repos, puis rapproche les extrémités, de préférence au moyen d'un organe de manoeuvre 24 ; le dispositif 1 est alors dans sa deuxième position. Une fois que les deux points d'appui 5, de préférence disposés à chaque extrémité, sont suffisamment rapprochés, que le dispositif 1 est positionné à proximité des plans d'appui (P), alors l'utilisateur peut stopper l'action exercée sur le dispositif 1. Les deux points d'appui 5 s'écartent l'un de l'autre, viennent en contact des plans d'appui (P), avant de s'ancrer dans les parois 7. Dans sa première position, le dispositif 1 est alors dans sa position stable et est prêt à être utilisé en tant que dispositif 1 de fixation d'une corniche ou d'une étagère.To install the device 1 for use, the user takes the device 1 in his hand while it is in the rest position, then close the ends, preferably by means of an actuator 24 ; the device 1 is then in its second position. Once the two support points 5, preferably arranged at each end, are sufficiently close together, that the device 1 is positioned near the bearing planes (P), then the user can stop the action exerted on the device 1. The two support points 5 deviate from each other, come into contact with the support planes (P), before anchoring in the 7. In its first position, the device 1 is then in its stable position and is ready to be used as a device 1 for fixing a cornice or a shelf.

Dans un mode de réalisation conforme à l'invention et représenté sur les figures 6,8,9 et 11, l'au moins un élément 3 est formé par au moins deux bras 30 montés pivotants par rapport à un châssis 36 et entre lesquels s'étend au moins un moyen élastique 4 ; chacun desdits au moins deux bras 30 portant au moins un point d'appui 5. In an embodiment according to the invention and represented on the figures 6 , 8 , 9 and 11 the at least one element 3 is formed by at least two arms 30 pivotally mounted with respect to a frame 36 and between which at least one resilient means 4 extends; each of said at least two arms 30 carrying at least one fulcrum 5.

Dans le mode de réalisation montré sur la figure 7, l'au moins un élément 3 est formé par au moins deux bras 30 montés pivotants par rapport à un châssis 36, au moins un moyen élastique 4 s'étendant entre chacun desdits au moins deux bras 30 et le châssis 36 ; chacun desdits au moins deux bras 30 portant au moins un point d'appui.In the embodiment shown on the figure 7 the at least one element 3 is formed by at least two arms 30 pivotally mounted relative to a frame 36, at least one resilient means 4 extending between each of the at least two arms 30 and the frame 36 ; each of said at least two arms 30 carrying at least one fulcrum.

Suivant l'invention, le dispositif 1 comprend deux bras 30 montés pivotants par rapport au châssis 36. Chacun des bras 30 pivote suivant un axe s'étendant perpendiculairement au châssis 36 à l'endroit d'un arbre 38, formant pivot, de préférence formé par un système du type vis/écrou/contre-écrou ou goupille.According to the invention, the device 1 comprises two arms 30 pivotally mounted relative to the frame 36. Each of the arms 30 pivots along an axis extending perpendicularly to the frame 36 at the location of a shaft 38, pivoting, preferably formed by a system of the type screw / nut / lock nut or pin.

Chacun des bras 30 présente une première extrémité 31 et une seconde extrémité 32. A sa première extrémité 31, le bras 30 comprend un point d'appui du type pointe 8 recourbé, ou pointe 8 simple.Each of the arms 30 has a first end 31 and a second end 32. At its first end 31, the arm 30 comprises a point of support of the type tip 8 bent, or tip 8 simple.

Classiquement, à sa seconde extrémité 32, le bras 30 comprend des formes propres à attacher le moyen élastique 4. A titre d'exemple, ce peut être un trou ou, comme illustré sur la figure 8, un évidement 33 par exemple circulaire, ménagé sur une petite face 34 (représentée figure 6) du bras 30, laquelle est orientée vers le côté opposé de l'endroit où se situe l'autre bras 30. De cette manière, les moyens de fixation du moyen élastique 4 sont accrochés aux secondes extrémités de chacun des deux bras 30. Le moyen élastique 4 s'étend alors entre les deux bras 30, du côté des secondes extrémités.Conventionally, at its second end 32, the arm 30 comprises forms adapted to attach the elastic means 4. For example, it may be a hole or, as shown in FIG. figure 8 , a recess 33 for example circular, formed on a small face 34 (shown figure 6 ) of the arm 30, which is oriented towards the opposite side of the place where the other arm 30 is located. In this way, the fixing means of the elastic means 4 are hooked on the second ends of each of the two arms 30. The elastic means 4 then extends between the two arms 30, the side of the second ends.

Dans un autre mode de réalisation, représenté sur la figure 7, à sa première extrémité 31, du côté du point d'appui, chacun des bras 30 comprend une ouverture du type trou ou évidement 33, de manière à fixer le moyen élastique 4 entre chacun des bras 30 d'une part, et le châssis 36 d'autre part.In another embodiment, shown in the figure 7 at its first end 31, on the fulcrum side, each of the arms 30 comprises a hole-like opening or recess 33, so as to fix the elastic means 4 between each of the arms 30 on the one hand, and the chassis 36 on the other hand.

Suivant ces modes de réalisation, le dispositif 1 comprend, dans sa première position, deux points d'appui 5a, 5b, en contact avec lesdits plans d'appui (P') et (P") (correspondants respectivement aux parois 7a et 7b). Il y a une résultante des forces de chacun des plans d'appui (P) sur son point d'appui qui lui correspond ; il y a donc deux résultantes (R). Préférentiellement, les résultantes (R) sont symétriquement opposés et orientées suivant la même direction. En additionnant vectoriellement les deux résultantes (R) des plans d'appui (P'), (P"), sur les points d'appui 5a et 5b, on obtient un vecteur nul, correspondant à un état d'équilibre du dispositif 1 par rapport aux plans d'appui (P'), (P").According to these embodiments, the device 1 comprises, in its first position, two bearing points 5a, 5b, in contact with said bearing planes (P ') and (P ") (respectively corresponding to the walls 7a and 7b .) There is a resultant force of each of the bearing planes (P) on its fulcrum corresponding thereto;. so there are two resulting (R) Preferably, the resulting (R) are symmetrically opposed and Oriented in the same direction By summing vectorially the two resultants (R) of the bearing planes (P '), (P "), on the bearing points 5a and 5b, a zero vector corresponding to a state is obtained. equilibrium of the device 1 relative to the bearing planes (P '), (P ").

Sur les figures 6 à 9, on peut voir que le dispositif 1 peut comprendre des premier 40 et deuxième 41 supports, destinés, respectivement, à être accolés à des premier et second plan d'appui, ledit premier support 40 définissant un angle α' par rapport au deuxième support 41. L'angle α' formé entre les premier 40 et deuxième 41 supports est alors sensiblement égal à celui formé entre les deux plans d'appui (P). Dans cet agencement, comme montrés sur les figures 6 à 9, les premier 40 et deuxième 41 supports peuvent être solidaires du châssis 36. On the Figures 6 to 9 it can be seen that the device 1 may comprise first 40 and second 41 supports intended respectively to be contiguous to first and second bearing planes, said first support 40 defining an angle α 'relative to the second support 41. The angle α 'formed between the first 40 and second 41 supports is then substantially equal to that formed between the two bearing planes (P). In this arrangement, as shown on the Figures 6 to 9 , the first 40 and second 41 supports may be integral with the frame 36.

Dans un mode de réalisation, le châssis 36, le premier support 40 et le deuxième support 41 forment un ensemble 50 monobloc (voir figure 6 à 9). Les premier 40 et deuxième 41 supports ainsi que le châssis 36 sont définis dans un même plan. Le châssis 36 présente une partie médiane 37 à l'endroit de laquelle les bras 30 sont montés en rotation.In one embodiment, the frame 36, the first support 40 and the second support 41 form a unitary assembly 50 (see FIG. figure 6 to 9 ). The first 40 and second 41 supports and the frame 36 are defined in the same plane. The frame 36 has a middle portion 37 at which the arms 30 are rotatably mounted.

Dans un mode de réalisation, les bras 30 peuvent être montés sur la partie médiane 37 au moyen de deux arbres 38 distincts (voir figures 6 et 11).In one embodiment, the arms 30 can be mounted on the middle portion 37 by means of two separate shafts 38 (see FIG. figures 6 and 11 ).

Dans un autre mode de réalisation, les bras 30 peuvent être montés sur la partie médiane 37 au moyen d'un seul et même arbre 38, comme montré sur les figures 7 à 9.In another embodiment, the arms 30 can be mounted on the middle part 37 by means of one and the same shaft 38, as shown in the drawings. Figures 7 to 9 .

Suivant l'invention, pour fonctionner, le dispositif 1 de fixation doit être positionné de manière à ce que les points d'appui 5, 5a, 5b, prennent appui contre les plans d'appui (P'), (P").According to the invention, in order to function, the fixing device 1 must be positioned in such a way that the bearing points 5, 5a, 5b bear against the bearing planes (P '), (P ").

Afin d'être manipulé facilement, le dispositif 1 peut comprendre sur chacun de ces bras 30, des éléments de préhension 35 formant saillie vers le haut, et disposés entre les premières extrémités et le/les arbre(-s) 38 de rotation. De cette manière, l'utilisateur prend en main le dispositif 1 alors qu'il est en position de repos, puis exerce une pression sur les éléments de préhension 35, le dispositif 1 est alors dans sa deuxième position. Une fois que les deux points d'appui 5, 5a, 5b, sont suffisamment rapprochés, que le dispositif 1 est positionné de sorte qu'un plan de pose (Ppose) s'étende parallèlement au sol et que le dispositif 1 est adjacent aux plans d'appui (P), alors l'utilisateur peut relâcher les efforts qu'il exerce sur les éléments de préhension 35. Les deux points d'appui 5, 5a, 5b s'écartent l'un par rapport à l'autre, viennent en contact des plans d'appui (P'), (P"), avant de s'ancrer dans les parois 7. Dans sa première position, le dispositif 1 est alors dans sa position stable et est prêt à être utilisé. Un élément 2 de corniches ou d'étagères peut alors être disposé au-dessus du dispositif 1 suivant ledit plan de pose (Ppose)In order to be easily handled, the device 1 may comprise on each of these arms 30, gripping elements 35 projecting upwardly, and disposed between the first ends and the shaft (s) 38 of rotation. In this way, the user takes control of the device 1 while he is in the rest position, then exerts pressure on the gripping elements 35, the device 1 is then in its second position. position. Once the two support points 5, 5a, 5b are sufficiently close together, that the device 1 is positioned so that a laying plane (P pose ) extends parallel to the ground and that the device 1 is adjacent to the bearing planes (P), then the user can relax the efforts he exerts on the gripping elements 35. The two bearing points 5, 5a, 5b deviate one with respect to the other, come into contact with the bearing planes (P '), (P "), before being anchored in the walls 7. In its first position, the device 1 is then in its stable position and is ready to be used An element 2 of cornices or shelves can then be placed above the device 1 according to said laying plane (P pose ).

Suivant un mode de réalisation non conforme à l'invention et illustré à titre d'exemple sur les figures 2 à 5 et sur les figures 10 et 12, est visé un système 100 comprenant un dispositif 1 tel que ci-dessus décrit et une structure 101. According to an embodiment not in accordance with the invention and illustrated by way of example on the Figures 2 to 5 and on figures 10 and 12 a system 100 comprising a device 1 as described above and a structure 101.

Cette structure 101, liée solidairement au dispositif 1 de fixation, est composée de plusieurs panneaux 102. Ces panneaux 102 sont articulés entre eux par des arêtes de jonction 130. Les panneaux 102 comprennent au moins deux positions : une première position dans laquelle les panneaux 102 s'étendent à plat, suivant un plan, et une seconde position (B) dans laquelle les panneaux 102 sont repliés via les arêtes de jonction 130, afin de former un solide du type pyramide.This structure 101, linked integrally with the fixing device 1 , is composed of several panels 102. These panels 102 are articulated to each other by joining edges 130. The panels 102 comprise at least two positions: a first position in which the panels 102 extend flat, in a plane, and a second position (B) in which the panels 102 are folded via the joining edges 130, to form a pyramid-like solid.

Dans le mode de réalisation non conforme à l'invention et représenté sur les figures 2 et 3, la structure comprend quatre panneaux 102. Trois premiers panneaux 110 présentent sensiblement la même forme, tandis qu'un dernier panneau 120 destiné à fermer le tétraèdre, présente une forme qui s'adapte aux dimensions des trois premiers.In the embodiment not according to the invention and represented on the figures 2 and 3 the structure comprises four panels 102. Three first panels 110 have substantially the same shape, while a last panel 120 intended to close the tetrahedron, has a shape that fits the dimensions of the first three.

De préférence, chacun de ces trois premiers panneaux 110 forment un triangle isocèle, de préférence rectangle (voir figure 3). Chacun des trois premiers panneaux 110 comprend une hypoténuse 111 et deux côtés adjacents 112. Les trois premiers panneaux 110 sont agencés de sorte que les arêtes de jonction 130 s'étendent suivant les côtés adjacents 112. Deux des trois premiers panneaux 110 présentent un côté adjacent libre 112a, tandis que le dernier des trois premier panneaux 110, est intercalé entre les deux autres panneaux 110 et ne comprend pas de côté adjacent libre 112a. Un des trois premiers panneaux 110, présentant un côté adjacent libre 112a, présente un arête de jonction 130 à l'endroit de son hypoténuse 111, le liant au dernier panneau destiné à fermer le tétraèdre.Preferably, each of these first three panels 110 form an isosceles triangle, preferably rectangle (see figure 3 ). Each of the first three panels 110 comprises a hypotenuse 111 and two adjacent sides 112. The first three panels 110 are arranged such that the joining edges 130 extend along the adjacent sides 112. Two of the first three panels 110 have an adjacent side free 112a, while the last of the first three panels 110, is interposed between the two other panels 110 and does not include a free adjacent side 112a. One of the three panels 110, having a free adjacent side 112a, has a connecting edge 130 at the location of its hypotenuse 111, the binder last panel for closing the tetrahedron.

Le dispositif 1 de fixation, de préférence celui conforme au premier mode de réalisation non conforme à l'invention, est disposé sur un des panneaux 102. Classiquement, le dispositif 1 est agencé sur le panneau 110 comprenant son côté adjacent libre 112 et son hypoténuse 111 libre. Le dispositif 1 peut être fixé sur le panneau 102 grâce à des moyens de fixation connus de l'homme du métier.The fixing device 1 , preferably that according to the first embodiment not in accordance with the invention, is arranged on one of the panels 102. Conventionally, the device 1 is arranged on the panel 110 comprising its free adjacent side 112 and its hypotenuse 111 free. The device 1 can be fixed on the panel 102 by means of fixing means known to those skilled in the art.

Comme montré sur les figures 2 à 5, le dispositif 1 est agencé sur le panneau 102 de telle manière que les points d'appui 5 du dispositif 1 soient en saillie par rapport aux arêtes définies par les côtés adjacents 112 du panneau 102. As shown on Figures 2 to 5 , the device 1 is arranged on the panel 102 in such a way that the bearing points 5 of the device 1 project from the edges defined by the adjacent sides 112 of the panel 102.

Pour installer un tel dispositif 1, il convient, comme montré sur la figure 10, de mettre le panneau 102 comprenant le dispositif 1 contre une paroi 7, 7a, 7b, 7c de sorte que les au moins deux points d'appui 5, de préférence deux points d'appui 5a, 5b, viennent s'ancrer dans les parois 7, 7a, 7b, 7c s'étendant suivant les plans d'appui (P'), (P"). Préférentiellement, le panneau 102 et le dispositif 1 sont plaqués contre la paroi 7, à l'endroit d'une face 114 (représentée sur la figure 4) de la structure 101 où est disposé le dispositif 1. L'utilisateur met les côtés adjacents 112 en appui contre les plans d'appui (P), tout en faisant en sorte de rapprocher les au moins deux points d'appui 5, de préférence deux points d'appui 5. L'utilisateur arrête toute manipulation ; le système 100 comprenant la structure 101 et le dispositif 1 est alors immobile par rapport aux plans d'appui (P). Les deux autres panneaux sont également plaqués contre des plans s'étendant tous deux orthogonalement au plan d'appui (P) sur lequel est disposé le panneau 102 et le dispositif 1. Le dernier panneau 120 n'est pas en appui contre une paroi ; sa forme et son agencement permettent de refermer le volume du tétraèdre alors que les trois autres panneaux 110 sont déjà mis en appui. A cet effet, il est prévu de disposer un moyen de fixation 121 sur le dernier panneau 120, ledit moyen de fixation 121 venant coopérer avec un autre moyen 116 disposé sur un ou plusieurs des autres panneaux 110.
