Description

Le domaine de l'invention est celui des dispositifs de réglages permettant la réalisation de structures d'escalier ou en étagement, sous une forme prédéterminée. Il permet notamment la conception soit d'escaliers adaptables ou de coffrage d'escaliers, soit la réalisation de structure en étagement demandant une possibilité de réglage simultané d'intervalles toujours symétriques et/ou de réglage d'angle variable tout en maintenant les plateaux symétriques. L'invention peut également être employée dans d'autres applications nécessitant un moyen de réglage similaire tels que des traçages nécessitant des réglages d'espaces ou d'angles égaux pour réaliser des ouvrages tels que des grilles portails fenêtres, mais aussi pour mettre en place une succession d'outils (pour percer, souder, couper, assembler, distribuer ... en ayant des intervalles variables mais toujours symétriques ; la liste d'utilisation n'est pas exhaustive.The field of the invention is that of adjustment devices for the realization of stair structures or staging, in a predetermined form. It allows the design of either adaptable stairs or staircase formwork, or the realization of staggered structure requiring a possibility of simultaneous adjustment of always symmetrical intervals and / or variable angle adjustment while maintaining the symmetrical trays . The invention can also be used in other applications requiring a similar adjustment means such as tracing requiring adjustments of spaces or equal angles to make works such as gate windows, but also to set up a succession of tools (to drill, solder, cut, assemble, distribute ... with variable but always symmetrical intervals, the list of use is not exhaustive.

Jusqu'alors, les procédés portables pour réaliser des structures de ce type sont d'ordre artisanal. Le professionnel (maçon, menuisier, ferronnier...) mesure et trace successivement chaque marche et contremarche sur des limons en vis à vis. Ce travail est non seulement fastidieux mais sujet à de nombreuses erreurs : épaisseur de trait, inclinaison des règles, approximations à l'oeil, support plus ou moins rugueux... ; ces méthodes artisanales peuvent générer des soucis d'asymétrie des divers plateaux.Until now, portable methods for making structures of this type are of a traditional nature. The professional (mason, carpenter, ironworker ...) measures and traces successively each step and risers on silts opposite. This work is not only tedious but subject to many errors: line thickness, inclination of the rules, approximations to the eye, support more or less rough ...; these artisanal methods can generate asymmetry concerns of various trays.

Pour remédier à cela une solution est proposée par le brevet FR N°01 04147 via une technologie dite vis-écrou, le système permet de régler les espaces ou les angles entre les pendules de contremarche de manière simultanée. Compte tenu des frottements engendrés par les liaisons vis-écrous les guidant, l'effort à fournir pour mettre en mouvement une succession de réglages est tel que le système se bloque dès que l'on dépasse 3 vis-écrous et rend cette technologie inexploitable pour ce genre d'application.To remedy this a solution is proposed by the FR Patent No. 01 04147 via a so-called screw-nut technology, the system makes it possible to adjust the spaces or the angles between the risers at the same time. Given the friction generated by the screw-nut links guiding the effort required to set in motion a succession of settings is such that the system hangs when you exceed 3 screws-nuts and makes this technology unusable for this kind of application.

Une alternative est également proposée par le brevet US-A 2 883 759 . Cette solution intègre un dispositif de positionnement des contremarches via deux mécanismes parallèles à vis. L'un permet de régler les espaces par un mécanisme de parallélogramme commandé en extrémité par une vis qui varie l'espace entre deux profilés, ce qui déploie un double treillis. Un autre mécanisme permet de gérer l'écart entre ces treillis parallèles en vue d'incliner les contremarches liées aux deux. Ce dispositif n'est pas adapté à la pratique de par le minimalisme de ces commandes. Il comprend de nombreux frottements qui ne pourront être compensés par un simple actionnement des commandes. A l'exposition des nuisances, telles que poussière - eau - sable..., ce système apparaît trop fragile et sujet à des blocages intempestifs.An alternative is also proposed by the U.S. Patent 2,883,759 . This solution integrates a device for positioning risers via two parallel screw mechanisms. One allows to adjust the spaces by a parallelogram mechanism controlled at the end by a screw that varies the space between two profiles, which deploys a double lattice. Another mechanism makes it possible to manage the gap between these parallel lattices in order to incline the risers associated with the two. This device is not adapted to practice by the minimalism of these commands. It includes many friction that can not be compensated by a simple operation of the controls. At the exposure of the nuisances, such as dust - water - sand ..., this system appears too fragile and subject to untimely blockages.

L'objectif de l'invention dont il est question dans ce brevet est donc innovant dans le fait qu'il s'agit d'un mécanisme simple par coulissement d'arbres dans des glissières, sans système à vis, ou la partie mécanique de réglages est entièrement enfermée dans une cage technique ce qui en augmente la fiabilité ; adaptable à tous les escaliers droits, il peut aussi être utilisable pour la réalisation d'escaliers tournants ou en colimaçon ; il est par ailleurs utilisable facilement et intuitivement par l'utilisateur tout en étant transportable manuellement.The object of the invention referred to in this patent is therefore innovative in that it is a simple mechanism by sliding the shafts in slides, without a screw system, or the mechanical part of settings is fully enclosed in a technical cage which increases the reliability; adaptable to all straight staircases, it can also be used for the realization of rotating or spiral staircases; it is also usable easily and intuitively by the user while being transportable manually.

Pour complémentarité d'explication, l'invention est constituée de :

  1. A - une cage technique constituée :
    • d'une glissière longitudinale : une glissière est composée de deux rainures se faisant face sur la longueur de la cage, dans lesquelles coulissent les extrémités des arbres inférieurs
    • d'une saignée longitudinale qui permet aux pendules de plateaux de se déplacer lors d'une translation provoquée par la règle d'intervalles ou une variation d'angle provoquée par la règle d'angle ; les plateaux peuvent être soit des marches ou des contremarches, soit différents organes de liaison transmettant les réglages simultanés de la cage
    • d'un carter servant à guider un moyen extensible d'obturation : ce moyen extensible a pour fonction d'obturer la saignée longitudinale afin de protéger l'intérieur de la cage technique de toutes matières pouvant nuire au bon fonctionnement du mécanisme ; il est traversé par chaque pendule à travers une fente adaptée ; chaque pendule à une encoche qui maintient le moyen extensible solidaire du pendule
    • d'axes fixes transversaux à la cage technique répartis sur une ligne longitudinale à différents endroits étudiés pour permettre le déplacement des rainures obliques sans gêner le déplacement des bras ; ces axes fixes ont pour fonction de guider les rainures obliques parallèles de la règle d'intervalles et, indépendamment, de la règle d'angle lors de leur translation respective
  2. B - une règle d'intervalles positionnée dans la cage technique et constituée :
    • d'une glissière d'intervalles : cette glissière est composée de deux rainures longitudinales se faisant face dans lesquelles coulissent les extrémités des arbres supérieurs
    • de rainures obliques parallèles qui coulissent sur les axes fixes de la cage technique lors de la translation de la règle d'intervalles ; ces rainures étant positionnées de façon obliques par rapport à l'axe de la cage, cela permet à la règle d'intervalles de se déplacer en diagonale dans la cage ; ce déplacement diagonal, lors de la translation, fait que la règle d'intervalles lorsqu'elle est en partie haute de la cage se dirige progressivement vers la partie basse tout en se dirigeant vers une extrémité de la cage ; cette translation diagonale génère un déplacement simultané des arbres supérieurs dans la glissière d'intervalles et des arbres inférieurs dans la glissière longitudinale ; les arbres inférieures entrainent les pendules et varient leurs espaces de façon simultanée ; les rainures obliques parallèles sont réparties à divers endroits de la règle d'intervalles correspondant aux axes fixes transversaux de la cage technique, de façon à ne pas gêner le mouvement des bras
    • d'une commande avant-arrière pour provoquer la translation diagonale de ladite règle d'intervalles, ce qui génère un réglage simultané des intervalles entre les différents arbres qui restent toujours symétriques ; cette commande a un moyen de blocage qui permet de figer la règle d'intervalles au réglage souhaité
  3. C - une règle d'angle positionnée dans la cage technique et constituée :
    • d'une glissière d'angle : cette glissière est composée de deux rainures longitudinales se faisant face dans lesquelles coulissent les extrémités des coulisseaux lors de la translation de la règle d'angle
    • de rainures obliques parallèles qui coulissent sur les axes fixes de la cage technique lors de la translation diagonale de la règle d'angle; ces rainures étant positionnées de façon obliques par rapport à l'axe de la cage, cela permet à la règle d'angle de se déplacer en diagonale dans la cage ; ce déplacement diagonal, lors de la translation, fait que la règle d'angle, lorsqu'elle est en partie haute de la cage, se dirige progressivement vers la partie basse tout en se dirigeant vers une extrémité de la cage, selon le réglage d'angle à opérer; ces rainures obliques sont réparties à différents endroits de la règle d'angle correspondant aux axes fixes transversaux de la cage technique de façon à ne pas gêner le déplacement des bras
    • d'une commande avant-arrière pour provoquer la translation de ladite règle d'angle, ce qui génère un réglage simultané de l'angle des pendules tout en les gardant symétriques
  4. D - de bras : ce sont des éléments plats longilignes avec des alésages pour être reliés entre eux à une extrémité par un arbre inférieur qui coulisse dans la glissière longitudinale de la cage technique, et à l'autre extrémité par les arbres supérieurs qui coulissent dans la glissière d'intervalles ; ces articulations forment ainsi une succession de bras en V à angle variable mais toujours symétrique
  5. E - des pendules ayant :
    • a - une partie intérieure à la cage, sur laquelle se trouvent :
      • un alésage traversé par les arbres inférieurs dont ils sont solidaires dans leurs déplacements en translation
      • une coulisse traversée par un coulisseau qui se déplace dans la glissière d'angle
      • une encoche pour maintenir et entrainer un moyen extensible d'obturation. Ce moyen extensible a pour fonction d'empêcher la pénétration dans la cage de liquide ou matières ; il est traversé par les pendules à travers une fente à chaque pendule et se tend ou se détend au gré du déplacement des pendules ; les pendules traversent la saignée longitudinale de la cage technique pour transmettre le réglage interne de ladite cage technique aux plateaux.
    • b - une partie extérieure à la cage, qui transmet les réglages des règles d'intervalles et/ou d'angles aux différents plateaux, sur laquelle se trouvent :
      • des encoches permettant de bloquer ou fixer des plateaux type marches ou contremarches ou étagères
      • une mortaise pouvant recevoir le tenon d'une platine-support pour la mise en place de la cage sur un mur ou sur un élément latéral quelconque
      • une façade ayant des trous permettant la fixation de plateaux de toutes natures : marches, contremarches, étagères, outils... ; cette liste n'est pas exhaustive des applications possibles.
For complementary explanation, the invention consists of:
  1. A - a technical cage consisting of:
    • of a longitudinal slide: a slide is composed of two grooves facing the length of the cage, in which slide the ends of the lower trees
    • a longitudinal groove that allows the pendulums of trays to move during a translation caused by the rule of intervals or a variation of angle caused by the rule of angle; the trays can be either steps or risers, or different connecting members transmitting the simultaneous settings of the cage
    • a casing for guiding an extensible sealing means: this extensible means has the function of closing the longitudinal groove in order to protect the inside of the technical cage of any material that may be detrimental to the proper functioning of the mechanism; it is crossed by each pendulum through an adapted slot; each pendulum has a notch that holds the extensible means integral with the pendulum
    • fixed axes transverse to the technical cage distributed over a longitudinal line in different locations studied to allow the displacement of the oblique grooves without hindering the movement of the arms; these fixed axes serve to guide the parallel oblique grooves of the interval rule and, independently, of the angle rule during their respective translation.
  2. B - an interval rule positioned in the technical cage and consisting of:
    • an interval slide: this slide is composed of two longitudinal grooves facing each other in which the ends of the upper shafts slide
    • parallel oblique grooves which slide on the fixed axes of the technical cage during the translation of the interval rule; these grooves being positioned obliquely to the axis of the cage, this allows the interval rule to move diagonally in the cage; this diagonal displacement, during the translation, that the interval rule when it is in the upper part of the cage is gradually moving towards the lower part while moving towards one end of the cage; this diagonal translation generates a simultaneous movement of the upper shafts in the interval slide and lower shafts in the longitudinal slide; the lower trees train the clocks and vary their spaces simultaneously; the parallel oblique grooves are distributed at various points of the rule of intervals corresponding to the transverse fixed axes of the technical cage, so as not to hinder the movement of the arms
    • a front-to-back command for causing the diagonal translation of said interval rule, which generates a simultaneous adjustment of the intervals between the various trees which remain always symmetrical; this command has a blocking means which makes it possible to freeze the interval rule at the desired setting
  3. C - An angle rule positioned in the technical cage and consisting of:
    • an angle slide: this slide is composed of two longitudinal grooves facing each other in which the ends of the sliders slide during the translation of the angle ruler
    • parallel oblique grooves sliding on the fixed axes of the technical cage during the diagonal translation of the corner rule; these grooves being positioned obliquely with respect to the axis of the cage, this allows the angle rule to move diagonally in the cage; this diagonal displacement, during translation, makes the angle rule, when it is at the top of the cage, gradually moving towards the lower part while moving towards one end of the cage, according to the setting of angle to operate; these oblique grooves are distributed at different points of the angle rule corresponding to the transverse fixed axes of the technical cage so as not to hinder the movement of the arms
    • a front-rear control to cause the translation of said angle rule, which generates a simultaneous adjustment of the angle of the pendulums while keeping them symmetrical
  4. D - arms: they are flat elongated elements with bores to be connected together at one end by a lower shaft which slides in the longitudinal slide of the technical cage, and at the other end by the upper shafts which slide in the interval slide; these joints thus form a succession of V-arms with variable angle but always symmetrical
  5. E - clocks having:
    • a - an inner part to the cage, on which are:
      • a bore traversed by the lower shafts of which they are integral in their translational movements
      • a slideway traversed by a slide that moves in the corner slide
      • a notch to maintain and provide an extensible means of sealing. This extensible means serves to prevent the penetration into the cage of liquid or materials; it is crossed by the pendulums through a cleft with each pendulum and is stretched or relaxed as the pendulums move; the pendulums pass through the longitudinal groove of the technical cage to transmit the internal adjustment of said technical cage to the trays.
    • b - a part external to the cage, which transmits the adjustments of the rules of intervals and / or angles to the various plates, on which are:
      • notches for blocking or fixing trays such as steps or risers or shelves
      • a mortise that can receive the tenon of a support plate for the establishment of the cage on a wall or on any side element
      • a façade with holes for fixing trays of all kinds: steps, risers, shelves, tools ...; this list is not exhaustive of possible applications.

Ces différents éléments mécaniques se conjuguent pour arriver au réglage d'intervalles d'une part et indépendamment au réglage d'angle de façon complémentaire de différentes façons suivantes :

  • La règle d'intervalles et la règle d'angle sont munies chacune de rainures obliques parallèles permettant une translation diagonale dans la cage par glissement desdites rainures obliques parallèles sur les axes fixes transversaux de la cage.
  • La règle d'intervalle est munie d'une commande avant-arrière permettant à ladite règle d'intervalles une translation diagonale qui varie l'espace entre ladite règle d'intervalles et la glissière de la cage technique tout en gardant leur parallélisme ; cette variation d'espaces génère un déplacement simultané des arbres inférieurs dans la glissière longitudinale de la cage technique et des arbres supérieurs dans la glissière d'intervalles de la règle d'intervalles ce qui modifie simultanément les intervalles entre les arbres supérieurs et les intervalles entre lesdits arbres inférieurs solidaires des pendules tout en respectant leur symétrie.
  • Un arbre fixe référent sert de base pour le déplacement simultané des arbres inférieurs et des arbres supérieurs sachant que chacun des arbres inférieurs peut devenir arbre référent par fixation à la cage technique et chacun desdits arbres supérieurs peut devenir arbre référent par fixation à la règle d'intervalles ; il ne peut y avoir qu'un seul arbre référent sur l'ensemble du mécanisme et celui-ci peut se trouver en extrémité ou au centre ou sur n'importe quel arbre.
  • La règle d'angle est équipée d'une commande avant-arrière permettant à ladite règle d'angle une translation diagonale qui varie l'espace entre ladite règle d'angle et la glissière longitudinale de la cage technique tout en gardant leur parallélisme ; la variation d'espace entre la glissière d'angle de la règle d'angle et la glissière longitudinale de la cage technique génère une variation simultanée de l'angle des pendules par déplacement des coulisseaux dans ladite glissière d'angle provoquant une rotation de la coulisse autour de l'alésage des pendules traversés par les arbres inférieurs.
  • Les commandes avant-arrière de la règle d'intervalle et de la règle d'angle sont équipées d'un moyen de blocage au réglage souhaité pour bloquer tout mouvement intempestif de translation propre à chaque règle.
  • Des platines de fixation à un support latéral ou un mur sont conçues pour recevoir les pendules par un système tenon mortaise en plus d'autres moyens de fixation qui se trouvent eux sur les bouchons d'extrémités de la cage technique ; selon les situations, ce peut être le système tenon mortaise ou les moyens de fixation solidaires des bouchons qui peut être utilisé ou bien les deux moyens conjointement.
  • Chaque pendule a dans sa partie extérieure à la cage technique un profil adapté à encoches pour y tenir un plateau muni d'ailettes qui tiennent ledit plateau ainsi bloqué sur le pendule sachant que le plateau peut être une marche ou contremarche ou d'autres éléments ou organes selon l'usage pour lequel est utilisé le mécanisme ; chaque support a aussi, dans sa partie extérieure à la cage technique, une façade en L ayant des trous pour fixer le plateau soit par vis ou tous moyens adaptés
These different mechanical elements combine to arrive at the setting of intervals on the one hand and independently to the angle adjustment in a complementary manner in the following different ways:
  • The interval rule and the angle rule are each provided with parallel oblique grooves allowing a diagonal translation in the cage by sliding said parallel oblique grooves on the transverse fixed axes of the cage.
  • The interval rule is provided with a front-rear control allowing said interval rule a diagonal translation which varies the space between said interval rule and the slide of the technical cage while keeping their parallelism; this variation of spaces generates a simultaneous movement of the lower shafts in the longitudinal slide of the technical cage and the upper shafts in the interval slide of the interval rule which simultaneously modifies the intervals between the upper shafts and the intervals between said lower trees solidarity pendulums while respecting their symmetry.
  • A reference fixed shaft serves as a basis for the simultaneous movement of the lower and upper shafts knowing that each of the lower shafts can become a reference shaft by attachment to the technical cage and each of said upper shafts can become reference shaft by attachment to the rule intervals; there can be only one referent tree on the whole mechanism and this one can be in end or in the center or on any tree.
  • The angle rule is equipped with a front-rear control allowing said angle rule a diagonal translation that varies the space between said angle rule and the longitudinal slide of the technical cage while keeping their parallelism; the variation of space between the angle runner of the angle rule and the longitudinal slide of the technical cage generates a simultaneous variation of the angle of the pendulums by moving the sliders in said angle slide causing a rotation of the slide around the bore of the pendulum traversed by the lower trees.
  • The front-rear commands of the interval rule and the corner ruler are equipped with a locking means at the desired setting to block any untimely movement of translation specific to each rule.
  • Fixing plates to a lateral support or a wall are designed to receive pendulums by a mortise tenon system in addition to other fastening means which they are on the end caps of the technical cage; depending on the situation, it may be the tenon mortise system or the fastening means integral with the plugs that can be used or the two means together.
  • Each pendulum has in its outer part to the technical cage a profile adapted to notches to hold a plate provided with fins that hold said tray thus locked on the pendulum knowing that the tray may be a step or riser or other elements or organs according to the use for which the mechanism is used; each support also has, in its part outside the technical cage, an L-shaped front having holes for fixing the plate either by screws or any suitable means

Par ailleurs, vers son centre, chaque pendule a une encoche pour maintenir et entrainer un moyen extensible d'obturation de la saignée longitudinale, le moyen extensible d'obturation se trouvant dans un carter à la base de la cage technique ; le moyen extensible peut être un joint caoutchouc qui se tend et se détend au gré des translations sachant que le caoutchouc a une entaille pour laisser passer le pendule et que le caoutchouc suit le mouvement dudit support ; ce moyen extensible d'obturation peut aussi être une successions de lames métalliques solidaire chacune d'un pendule, les lames se superposant à leur extrémitéIn addition, towards its center, each pendulum has a notch for holding and driving an extensible means for closing the longitudinal groove, the extensible sealing means being in a housing at the base of the technical cage; the extensible means may be a rubber seal that stretches and expands at the discretion of the translations knowing that the rubber has a notch to let the pendulum and the rubber follows the movement of said support; this extensible means of closure can also be an inheritance of metal blades each integral with a pendulum, the blades being superimposed on their end

The present invention will be better understood with reference to the description and to the claims by drawings illustrating the system in its various operations:
  • The figure 1 is a longitudinal section of the technical cage (1.1) with a longitudinal section of the interval rule (2.1) superimposed on it; this assembly shows the principle of the arms (4.1) whose one end is connected to another arm (4.1) by a lower shaft (4.4) which slides in the longitudinal slide (1.2) of the technical cage (1.1) and the other end is connected to another arm (4.1) by an upper shaft (4.5) which slides in the interval slide (2.2); we can see the arms (4.1) in position almost at right angles, with the interval rule (2.1) which is furthest from the longitudinal slide (1.2) and the fixed axes (1.6) at one end of the groove oblique; the reference fixed shaft being central in this presentation we see the pendulums distant ends of the ends of the technical cage.
  • The figure 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of the technical cage (1.1) with a longitudinal section of the interval rule (2.1) superimposed as the figure 1 but with a different setting caused by a diagonal translation; thus we can notice that the rule of intervals (2.1) is close to the longitudinal groove (1.4) and that the fixed axes (1.6) are at the other end of the parallel oblique grooves; we can also notice that the pendulums of extremities approached the ends of the technical cage because the fixed tree (1.3) referent is central in this presentation; the rule of intervals (2.1) has also approached one end of the technical cage (1.1) due to the diagonal translation caused by the front-rear control (2.4); the intervals between the clocks are more distant than on the figure 1 due to the deployment of the arms (4.1) caused by the diagonal translation.

    • the angle rule (3.1) receives at its base the upper part of the pendulum (5.1) which results in a more open angle of the positioning of the pendulum (5.1) in its part outside the cage by the rotation of the pendulum (5.1) ) around the lower shaft (4.4) through the bore (5.2)
  • The figure 5 is a view similar to the figure 4 with the difference that the interval rule (2.1) and the angle rule (3.1) are in the lower position in the technical cage (1.1) as on the figure 2 with the mechanical variations as described on the figure 2 .

  • The figure 7 represents the support plate (7.1) for fixing the technical cage (1.1) with the pin (7.3) adapted to the mortise (5.5) of the pendulums (5.1) and holes (7.2) to screw or point on a wall or a support lateral.
  • The figure 8 represents a perspective scenario of two technical cages (1.1) in parallel connected by trays (5.6) in the position of steps, in the configuration of a straight staircase.
  • The figure 9 represents a perspective simulation of two technical cages (1.1) in parallel connected by trays (5.6) in position of risers, in the configuration of a straight staircase formwork.
