Description

La présente invention concerne une table pliante de billard avec tour de bandes et tapis tendu en position horizontale, dont les deux demis plateaux en symétrie se replient dans l'axe de la table jusqu'à la position verticale ce qui entraine dans le repliage la détente du tapis et inversement pour le dépliage.The present invention relates to a folding billiard table with tape tower and carpet stretched in a horizontal position, the two half-symmetrical trays fold in the axis of the table to the vertical position which causes in the folding the trigger carpet and conversely for unfolding.

Les tables de billard pliantes avec plateau monobloc revêtu d'un tapis tendu sont connues, le plateau est relié de manière articulée à un support de sorte qu'il peut prendre deux positions, à savoir une position verticale notamment pour le rangement et une position horizontale pour le jeu.The folding billiard tables with a monoblock tray covered with a stretched carpet are known, the tray is hingedly connected to a support so that it can take two positions, namely a vertical position including storage and a horizontal position for the game

Des tables pliantes en deux parties sont également connues. Certaines sont utilisées comme tables multi usages se repliant pour le rangement, un autre modèle comme le tennis de table a un pliage asymétrique indépendant pour chaque plateau.Folding tables in two parts are also known. Some are used as folding multi-purpose tables for storage, another model such as table tennis has an asymmetrical folding independent for each tray.

L'état de la technique de la demande peut être illustré par les demandes de brevets dans différents pays : - DE : 2990 1458 - US : 6321 664 - FR : 2729 302 - US : 5020 799 A The state of the art of the application can be illustrated by the patent applications in different countries: - DE: 2990 1458 - US: 6321 664 - FR: 2729 302 - US: 5020 799 A

Dans un souci de diminuer l'encombrement d'une table de billard dans son état de rangement, c'est-à-dire à l'état replié, on a recherché des mécanismes qui permettent de parvenir à une position verticale réduite du plateau replié (deux demi panneaux) dans laquelle ils sont face contre face ou en tout cas le plus rapprochés possible et dans laquelle ils sont le plus bas possible afin que le centre de gravité de l'ensemble soit au plus bas pour obtenir une stabilité maximale de la table repliée.In order to reduce the bulk of a billiard table in its storage state, that is to say in the folded state, mechanisms have been sought which make it possible to achieve a reduced vertical position of the folded tray. (two half panels) in which they are face against face or in any case as close as possible and in which they are as low as possible so that the center of gravity of the set is at the lowest to obtain a maximum stability of the folded table.

Pour atteindre cet objectif il est nécessaire que le bord de chaque ½ plateau puisse changer de hauteur ce qui interdit une liaison fixe aux abords de l'axe de pliage avec le support au niveau du bord susdit. Aussi, il est connu de mettre en oeuvre des moyens de verrouillage qui ont pour fonction de bloquer entre eux deux des éléments qui constituent la structure dépliable (y compris le support et chacun des 1/2 plateaux), de rigidifier cette structure. Ces moyens peuvent être en nombre et/ou répartis de manière telle que la rigidification de la structure soit réalisée lorsque la table est dans son état de jeu ou dans son état de rangement.To achieve this goal it is necessary that the edge of each ½ plateau can change height which prohibits a fixed connection to the vicinity of the axis of folding with the support at the aforementioned edge. Also, it is known to implement locking means whose function is to block between them two elements that constitute the foldable structure (including the support and each of the 1/2 trays), to stiffen this structure. These means may be in number and / or distributed in such a way that the stiffening of the structure is achieved when the table is in its state of play or in its storage state.

Pour les tables pliantes en deux demi plateaux il est possible, lors de la manoeuvre d'une table que les mouvements de repliement ou de dépliement ne soient pas tout à fait achevés, si bien que la structure peut ne pas avoir atteint l'un ou l'autre de ces états dans lequel le verrouillage rigide peut devenir opérationnel. Ces obstacles à l'achèvement des mouvements peuvent être ignorés de l'usager qui croit la structure verrouillée alors qu'elle ne l'est pas. C'est ainsi que la table peut soit se déplier spontanément, soit sous l'effet d'une charge au voisinage de l'axe de pliage, amorcer un mouvement de repliement. On comprend que l'ouverture intempestive d'une table pliante puisse blesser un usager à proximité. On comprend également que si la charge sur une table ouverte est un enfant, ce dernier puisse glisser entre les deux plateaux qui seraient entrainés par son poids pour tendre ensuite à blesser gravement l'enfant en le bloquant entre les deux 1/2 plateaux.For folding tables in two half-trays it is possible, when operating a table that the folding or unfolding movements are not completely completed, so that the structure may not have reached one or the other of these states in which the rigid lock can become operational. These obstacles to the completion of the movements can be ignored by the user who believes the locked structure when it is not. Thus, the table can either unfold spontaneously or under the effect of a load in the vicinity of the fold axis, initiate a folding movement. We understand that the inadvertent opening of a folding table can hurt a user nearby. It is also understood that if the load on an open table is a child, it could slip between the two trays that would be driven by its weight to then tend to seriously injure the child by blocking between the two 1/2 trays.

Il existe donc un besoin d'équiper une table pliante de billard de moyens de sécurité visant à empêcher que de tels accidents surviennent.There is therefore a need to equip a folding billiard table with safety means to prevent such accidents from occurring.

A cet effet, l'invention a donc pour objet une table de billard pliante avec tour de bandes comprenant un support mobile, deux 1/2 plateaux mobiles par rapport au support entre une position horizontale et une position verticale. Chaque 1/2 plateau est relié au support par une structure de configuration déformable de manière réversible entre un état déplié correspondant à la position horizontale des 1/2 plateaux et un état replié correspondant à la position verticale de ces derniers. La structure comporte des moyens de verrouillage pour la bloquer dans l'un au moins de ces deux états.For this purpose, the invention therefore relates to a folding billiard table with tape tower comprising a movable support, two 1/2 moving trays relative to the support between a horizontal position and a vertical position. Each 1/2 tray is connected to the support by a reversibly deformable configuration structure between an unfolded state corresponding to the horizontal position of the 1/2 trays and a folded state corresponding to the vertical position of the latter. The structure comprises locking means for locking it in at least one of these two states.

Selon une caractéristique de l'invention, la structure déformable comprend des moyens de butées venant en prise lorsque la configuration de la structure déformable est voisine de celle correspondant à son état verrouillé et s'opposant à la réversibilité de celle configuration. Ces moyens de butées constituent une sécurité qui interdit le repliement spontané ou qui contrôle le dépliement.According to one characteristic of the invention, the deformable structure comprises abutment means engaging when the configuration of the deformable structure is close to that corresponding to its locked state and opposing the reversibility of that configuration. These abutment means constitute a security that prohibits spontaneous folding or controls unfolding.

De manière préférée les moyens de butées sont agencés, visibles, pour venir en prise lorsque la configuration de la structure déformable est voisine de chacun des deux états repliés ou dépliés de la structure.Preferably the abutment means are arranged, visible, to engage when the configuration of the deformable structure is close to each of the two folded or unfolded states of the structure.

Selon un mode de réalisation de l'invention chaque 1/2 plateau de la table de billard comporte en retrait par rapport à chacun de ses chants latéraux une charnière mâle fixée sous le 1/2 plateau (1,2) avec le gond en saillie(15) à mi épaisseur du 1/2 plateau qui s'articule sur un axe décalé de l'axe de pliage. La charnière femelle sur l'axe de pliage reçoit les gonds des charnières mâles des deux demi-plateaux du même chant, dans deux trous rainurés en symétrie, charnière femelle (23) qui reste toujours à l'horizontale quel que soit le mouvement du demi-plateau (1,2) positionnée à l'extrémité du joint de pliage(13) dans l'axe de pliage (28) comprenant deux logements rainurés décalés et symétriques du joint de pliage (13) avec pour chaque logement un léger dévers vers le joint de pliage (13) et un ressort (26) pour faire pression sur le gond de la charnière mâle, charnière (23) possédant une flexibilité (27)
perpendiculaire au joint de pliage (13) pour se courber lorsque qu'elle est tirée par la détente du tapis en largeur et que le chant biseauté (32) n'est plus en contact avec la partie trapézoïdale (31) de la charnière (23), le tapis se retend au dépliement des 1/2 plateaux quand le chant biseauté (32) reprend contact avec la partie trapézoïdale (31) et les 1/2 plateaux (1,2) à l'horizontale la charnière (23) est repoussée à la verticale. Les moyens de butée comprennent alors les gonds des charnières mâles dans les logements de la charnière femelle, ainsi réalisés ils ne s'opposent pas à la poursuite d'un mouvement en direction d'un état de verrouillage ou de déverrouillage du plateau.According to one embodiment of the invention, every 1/2 table top of the billiard table has recessed relative to each of its lateral edges a male hinge fixed under the 1/2 plate (1, 2) with the protruding hinge (15) half thickness of the half plate which is articulated on an axis offset from the axis of folding. The female hinge on the folding axis receives the hinges of the male hinges of the two half-trays of the same edge, in two symmetrical grooved holes, female hinge (23) which remains always horizontal whatever the movement of the half -plateau (1,2) positioned at the end of the folding joint (13) in the bending axis (28) comprising two offset and symmetrical grooved housing of the folding joint (13) with a slight slope towards each housing towards the folding joint (13) and a spring (26) for pressing on the hinge of the hinge male hinge (23) having a flexibility (27)
perpendicular to the folding joint (13) to bend as it is pulled by the expansion of the carpet width and the bevelled edge (32) is no longer in contact with the trapezoidal portion (31) of the hinge (23). ), the belt folds to the unfolding of the 1/2 trays when the bevelled edge (32) resumes contact with the trapezoidal part (31) and the 1/2 plates (1, 2) horizontally the hinge (23) is pushed back to the vertical. The abutment means then comprise the hinges of the male hinges in the housing of the female hinge, and thus they do not oppose the continuation of a movement towards a state of locking or unlocking the tray.

La sécurité des manoeuvres de dépliement et de repliement se fait par plusieurs systèmes qui agissent soit sur le support en contact avec le 1/2 plateau soit sur le support à des points d'articulation de ce dernier. Au repliement les systèmes s'enclenchent automatiquement. Pour le dépliement ils sont contrôlés manuellement, pour le renfort (7) il s'enclenche de nouveau automatiquement s'il n'est plus contrôlé manuellement, bloquant les 1/2 plateaux dans la position du moment.The safety of unfolding and folding maneuvers is done by several systems that act either on the support in contact with the 1/2 plateau or on the support at points of articulation of the latter. When folding, the systems automatically engage. For the unfolding they are manually controlled, for the reinforcement (7) it snaps again automatically if it is no longer controlled manually, blocking the 1/2 trays in the position of the moment.

Dans la manoeuvre de repliement la détente du tapis est rendue possible par le rapprochement des gonds des charnières mâles qui coulissent dans les trous rainurés des charnières femelles et par la flexibilité des charnières femelles qui, tirées par le tapis se courbent dès qu'elles ne sont plus en contact avec les chants des deux demi plateaux qui se côtoient et inversement dans la manoeuvre de dépliement.In the folding maneuver, the relaxation of the carpet is made possible by bringing the hinges of the male hinges which slide into the grooved holes of the female hinges and by the flexibility of the female hinges which, when pulled by the carpet, bend as soon as they are more in contact with the songs of the two half-plateaux that rub shoulders with each other and inversely in the unfolding maneuver.

La plaque de recouvrement (33) fixée aux deux demi-plateaux (1,2) et libre de mouvement sur le joint de pliage (13). Plaque aimantée qui adhère aux deux demi-plateaux en position horizontale dans le défoncé de deux demi plateaux.The cover plate (33) attached to the two half-plates (1,2) and free movement on the folding joint (13). Magnetic plate that adheres to the two half-trays in horizontal position in the smashed two half trays.

Le bâti fixé sous le 1/2 plateau est relié à un support mobile pour suivre les manoeuvres de dépliement et repliement des 1/2 plateaux. La liaison entre support et bâti du 1/2 plateau se fait au point d'équilibre du plateau à l'horizontale, elle reste à la même hauteur dans toutes les manoeuvres des plateaux. Dans la manoeuvre de repliement les piétements se rapprochent au maximum pour la position de transport et de rangement. Ils s"éloignent au maximum dans la manoeuvre de dépliement pour la position de jeu. Le rapprochement et l'éloignement des supports sans changer leur verticalité sont contrôlés par des bras de levier placés en symétrie de chaque côté du caisson axial, raccordés à un mécanisme sur l'axe de pliage qui répercute en symétrie les mouvements des 1/2 plateaux.The frame fixed under the 1/2 tray is connected to a movable support to follow the unfolding maneuvers and folding of the 1/2 trays. The connection between the support and the frame of the 1/2 plateau is at the point of equilibrium of the plateau horizontally, it remains at the same height in all the maneuvers of the trays. In the folding maneuver the legs are as close as possible to the transport and storage position. They move away as far as possible in the unfolding maneuver for the play position. The bringing together and the distance of the supports without changing their verticality are controlled by symmetrically arranged lever arms on each side of the axial box, connected to a mechanism on the axis of folding which echoes in symmetry the movements of the 1/2 trays.

Les charnières femelles côté chants latéraux des 1/2 plateaux solidaires d'un caisson situé sous les 1/2 plateaux, dans l'axe de pliage, suivent en hauteur le mouvement des gonds des charnières mâles dans les manoeuvres de dépliement et de repliement.The female hinges side edges of the 1/2 trays secured to a box located under the 1/2 trays, in the bending axis, follow in height the movement of the hinges of the male hinges in the unfolding and folding maneuvers.

Le mécanisme de transfert de mouvement dans les manoeuvres est installé dans le caisson axial, il règle la symétrie des bras de levier qui font les liaisons entre le caisson et les pieds des supports, à l'aide d'une tige dentelée (37) qui se déplace en hauteur à l'opposé du déplacement des charnières femelles (23). Il est équipé d'un ressort dans l'axe du pliage qui fait opposition à un mouvement trop brutal de dépliement ou de repliement des 1/2 plateaux. Toutes les pièces du mécanisme sont retenues par des flasques (51) fixées au caisson (35) par des plaques démontables (52) Le mouvement du mécanisme suit à la même hauteur celui des charnières femelles ascendant ou descendant. Chaque pied de la structure est équipé d'une roulette avec frein à pied pour immobiliser l'ensemble en position de jeu ou en position de rangement. Chaque pied comprend également une vis de réglage pour mise à niveau éventuel de la table de jeu, le contrôle se fait par des niveaux à bulle incrustés dans une grande et une petite bande.The mechanism of transfer of movement in the maneuvers is installed in the axial box, it regulates the symmetry of the lever arms which make the connections between the box and the feet of the supports, using a serrated rod (37) which moves in height opposite the displacement of the female hinges (23). It is equipped with a spring in the axis of the folding which opposes a too sudden movement of unfolding or folding of the 1/2 trays. All parts of the mechanism are retained by flanges (51) fixed to the box (35) by removable plates (52) The movement of the mechanism follows at the same height that of the female hinges ascending or descending. Each foot of the structure is equipped with a wheel with foot brake to immobilize the assembly in the play position or in the storage position. Each foot also includes a set screw to upgrade the game table, control is by bubble levels embedded in a large and a small band.

Le blocage du support sur le plateau en position horizontale est assuré par des taquets à fonctionnement automatique par ressort, ils sont désactivés manuellement pour le dépliement des 1/2 plateaux. Dans la position verticale, un levier avec sécurité anti retour s'enclenche dans une butée du 1/2 plateau (1), enclenchant automatiquement une patte de sécurité au pied de la structure qui se désactive dès le support s'écarte de l'axe de pliage (28).The blocking of the support on the tray in horizontal position is assured by cleats with automatic operation by spring, they are deactivated manually for the unfolding of the 1/2 trays. In the vertical position, a lever with non-return safety locks into an abutment of the 1/2 plate (1), automatically engaging a safety tab at the foot of the structure which is deactivated as soon as the support deviates from the axis folding (28).

Les renforts qui relient la structure aux plateaux à chaque extrémité du billard sont verrouillés 1/2 plateaux à l'horizontale, manuellement pour le 1/2 plateau (2) et automatiquement pour le 1/2 plateau (1), pour les désactivés il faut maintenir tendu un cordon de sécurité qui relâché réactive le verrouillage quel que soit la position des 1/2 plateaux.Reinforcements that connect the structure to the trays at each end of the billiard are locked 1/2 trays horizontally, manually for the 1/2 tray (2) and automatically for the 1/2 tray (1), for disabled it must be held tight a safety cordon that released reactive lock regardless of the position of the 1/2 trays.

Table à l'horizontale en position de jeu, deux éléments mobiles au milieu des grands bandes ferment le tour de bande, fixés par pression ils s'enlèvent pour la manoeuvre de repliement.Table in horizontal play position, two moving elements in the middle of the large bands close the band, fixed by pressure they are removed for the folding maneuver.

Action (8c) by disabling the safety (47) and pulling the lever the stop (6) unlocks and the spring (49) integral with the frame of the 1/2 plate (1) pushes the structure to begin unfolding.

La figure 14 représente schématiquement la table dans trois positions.

  • A l'horizontale « a » : pieds écartés à leur maximum, ½ plateaux à l'horizonale.
  • A la verticale « c » : pieds rapprochés à leur maximum ½ plateaux proche de la verticale.
  • En cours de manoeuvre « b » : pieds mobiles.
The figure 14 schematically represents the table in three positions.
  • Horizontal "a": feet apart at their maximum, ½ trays in the horizon.
  • Vertical "c": feet close to their maximum ½ trays close to the vertical.
  • In the process of maneuver "b": moving feet.

Le système de sécurité anti retour placé sur l'articulation du levier (8), déverrouillage de la sécurité anti retour manuellement, le ressort (49) décale alors le support (3) du demi plateau (1), la patte (5) se déverrouille seule dès que le support s'éloigne de sa position de transport (figure (4).The anti-return safety system placed on the articulation of the lever (8), unlocking the anti-return safety manually, the spring (49) then shifts the support (3) of the half plate (1), the tab (5) is unlocks when the support moves away from its transport position ( figure (4 ).

L'avantage de l'invention réside dans la conception basée sur un encombrement réduit en hauteur, les 1/2 plateaux en position de rangement et réduit en profondeur avec la structure repliée compacte et sur les systèmes de verrouillage et déverrouillage ainsi que sur le ressort central qui ralentit les manoeuvres de dépliement et de repliement.The advantage of the invention lies in the design based on a reduced height, the 1/2 trays in the storage position and reduced in depth with the compact folded structure and on the locking and unlocking systems and on the spring central that slows the unfolding and folding maneuvers.

On a ainsi réalisé un produit nouveau avec tapis qui se détend dans la manoeuvre de repliement évitant une tension en position de rangement et inversement dans la manoeuvre de dépliement.Thus, a new product with a mat has been achieved which expands in the folding operation avoiding tension in the storage position and vice versa in the unfolding operation.
