Description

La présente invention concerne le domaine du chauffage/climatisation, et porte particulièrement sur un dispositif de fixation d'un appareil de chauffage ou climatisation sur une surface, type mur ou plafond voire sol, sur un kit et un ensemble comprenant ledit dispositif de fixation et sur un procédé de changement d'un appareil de chauffage ou climatisation.The present invention relates to the field of heating / air conditioning, and relates particularly to a device for fixing a heating or air conditioning device to a surface, such as wall or ceiling or even floor, to a kit and an assembly comprising said fixing device and on a process for changing a heating or air conditioning device.

Le document CN 101 788 164 montre un kit de fixation pour fixer un appareil de chauffage ou climatisation sur une surface, ledit kit comprenant une pluralité de dispositifs de fixation, un trou d'ancrage étant formé dans chaque dispositif de fixation en vue de la fixation du dispositif de fixation sur la surface, chaque dispositif de fixation portant en outre un moyen d'accouplement.The document CN 101 788 164 shows a fixing kit for fixing a heating or air conditioning device on a surface, said kit comprising a plurality of fixing devices, an anchoring hole being formed in each fixing device for fixing the fixing device on the surface, each fixing device further carrying a coupling means.

Le document JP H06 117664 montre un procédé de changement d'un appareil de chauffage ou climatisation monté sur une surface, qui comprend les étapes consistant à :

  • démonter l'appareil de chauffage ou climatisation de la surface,
  • fixer un nouvel appareil de chauffage ou climatisation.
The document JP H06 117664 shows a method of changing a heating or air conditioning device mounted on a surface, which comprises the steps consisting in:
  • remove the heating or air conditioning device from the surface,
  • fix a new heater or air conditioner.

Les appareils de chauffage ou climatisation sont classiquement fixés sur des surfaces soit directement, soit par l'intermédiaire d'un support fixé à la surface, sur lequel est accroché ou fixé l'appareil de chauffage ou climatisation. Des trous sont donc percés dans la surface, dans lesquels sont fixés des moyens de fixation par exemple de type vis sur lesquels viennent ensuite s'accrocher l'appareil de chauffage ou climatisation.Heating or air conditioning devices are conventionally fixed to surfaces either directly or via a support fixed to the surface, on which the heating or air conditioning device is hung or fixed. Holes are therefore drilled in the surface, in which fixing means are fixed, for example of the screw type, onto which the heating or air conditioning apparatus then hang.

Du fait des différentes puissances et des différentes technologies utilisées pour les appareils de chauffage ou climatisation, il est rare que les trous à percer dans la surface soient identiques pour deux appareils de chauffage ou climatisation différents. L'installation d'un appareil de chauffage ou climatisation nécessite ainsi des perçages spécifiques. Cette opération demande du temps et de la précision pour s'assurer du bon positionnement des perçages, ce qui peut freiner certains utilisateurs.Due to the different powers and different technologies used for heating or air conditioning, it is rare that the holes to be drilled in the surface are identical for two different heating or air conditioning devices. The installation of a heating or air conditioning device therefore requires specific drilling. This operation requires time and precision to ensure the correct positioning of the holes, which can slow down some users.

En rénovation, lors du remplacement d'un appareil de chauffage ou climatisation, typiquement un convecteur électrique, il est donc souvent nécessaire de repercer des trous dans la surface pour y fixer l'appareil. En plus de la compétence requise pour l'installation, l'ajout de nouveaux trous dans la surface détériore l'isolation du bâti et peut engendrer des visualisations inesthétiques.In renovations, when replacing a heating or air conditioning device, typically an electric convector, it is often necessary to pierce holes in the surface to attach the device to. In addition to the skill required for installation, the addition of new holes in the surface deteriorates the insulation of the frame and can lead to unsightly visualizations.

Il existe des gabarits de pose et de perçage pour faciliter le montage de l'appareil de chauffage ou climatisation. Le gabarit présente les positions des différents perçages indiqués et facilite donc l'installation de l'appareil de chauffage ou climatisation, mais demande toujours de percer la surface.There are installation and drilling templates to facilitate the mounting of the heating or air conditioning unit. The template shows the positions of the different holes indicated and therefore facilitates the installation of the heating or air conditioning unit, but always requires drilling the surface.

Il existe également des kits de montage universels, vendus pour fixer plusieurs types d'appareils de chauffage ou climatisation. Ces kits s'adaptent en fonction des appareils de chauffage ou climatisation mais ne facilitent aucunement le montage et ne s'adaptent pas en fonction des trous dans le mur.There are also universal mounting kits, sold to mount several types of heaters or air conditioners. These kits adapt according to the heating or air conditioning devices but do not facilitate installation and do not adapt according to the holes in the wall.

Il existe également des supports pour appareil de chauffage ou climatisation qui sont réglables en position une fois fixés sur la surface. L'inconvénient de ces supports est qu'ils ne permettent pas d'adapter sur des trous existants tous types d'appareil de chauffage ou climatisation.There are also supports for heating or air conditioning that are adjustable in position once fixed on the surface. The disadvantage of these supports is that they do not allow any types of heating or air conditioning apparatus to be fitted to existing holes.

Il existe donc un besoin pour un produit robuste, permettant d'adapter sur des trous déjà percés dans une surface, n'importe quel appareil de chauffage ou climatisation ou son support associé.There is therefore a need for a robust product, making it possible to adapt to holes already drilled in a surface, any heating or air conditioning device or its associated support.

La présente invention a donc pour objet un kit de fixation pour fixer un appareil de chauffage ou climatisation sur une surface, caractérisé par le fait qu'il comprend une pluralité de dispositifs de fixation et un support sur lequel l'appareil de chauffage ou climatisation est destiné à s'accrocher, un trou d'ancrage étant formé dans chaque dispositif de fixation en vue de la fixation du dispositif de fixation sur la surface, chaque dispositif de fixation portant en outre un moyen d'accouplement avec le support, ledit support comportant une pluralité de moyens d'accrochage en vue de sa fixation sur la surface, et chaque moyen d'accrochage du support étant conçu pour être fixé directement dans un trou préformé dans la surface ou fixé dans le trou préformé dans la surface par l'intermédiaire de l'un desdits dispositifs de fixation, le trou d'ancrage de chaque dispositif de fixation étant alors destiné à coopérer avec le trou préformé dans ladite surface, le moyen d'accouplement de chaque dispositif de fixation étant configuré pour coopérer avec le moyen d'accrochage dudit support.The present invention therefore relates to a fixing kit for fixing a heating or air conditioning device to a surface, characterized in that it comprises a plurality of fixing devices and a support on which the heating or air conditioning device is intended to hang, an anchoring hole being formed in each fastening device for the fixing the fixing device to the surface, each fixing device further carrying a coupling means with the support, said support comprising a plurality of attachment means for fixing it to the surface, and each attachment means of the support being designed to be fixed directly in a preformed hole in the surface or fixed in the preformed hole in the surface by means of one of said fixing devices, the anchoring hole of each fixing device then being intended to cooperate with the preformed hole in said surface, the coupling means of each fixing device being configured to cooperate with the coupling means of said support.

Le dispositif de fixation selon l'invention permet ainsi de rattraper la distance entre un trou déjà percé dans la surface et l'emplacement de fixation de l'appareil de chauffage ou climatisation ou son support.The fixing device according to the invention thus makes it possible to make up for the distance between a hole already drilled in the surface and the fixing location of the heating or air conditioning device or its support.

Selon un mode de réalisation particulier, le moyen d'accouplement de chaque dispositif de fixation est constitué par un trou d'accouplement formé dans le dispositif de fixation.According to a particular embodiment, the coupling means of each fixing device consists of a coupling hole formed in the fixing device.

Selon un mode de réalisation particulier, le trou d'accouplement est oblong. Le trou d'ancrage pourrait également être oblong.According to a particular embodiment, the coupling hole is oblong. The anchor hole could also be oblong.

Il est ainsi possible de rattraper une longueur importante entre le trou déjà percé dans la surface et l'emplacement de fixation de l'appareil de chauffage ou climatisation ou son support
Selon un mode de réalisation particulier, le trou d'accouplement est distinct du trou d'ancrage ou confondu avec celui-ci. Ainsi, par exemple, le trou d'ancrage et le trou d'accouplement peuvent être deux emplacements différents d'un trou oblong.It is thus possible to make up a considerable length between the hole already drilled in the surface and the location for fixing the heating or air conditioning device or its support.
According to a particular embodiment, the coupling hole is distinct from or merged with the anchoring hole. Thus, for example, the anchor hole and the coupling hole can be two different locations of an oblong hole.

Selon un mode de réalisation particulier, le moyen d'accouplement de chaque dispositif de fixation est constitué par une saillie.According to a particular embodiment, the coupling means of each fixing device consists of a projection.

Selon un mode de réalisation particulier, la saillie est une pointe à extrémité arrondie. Elle est alors destinée à coopérer avec un trou formé dans l'appareil de chauffage ou climatisation ou son support, à la manière d'une biellette.According to a particular embodiment, the projection is a point with a rounded end. It is then intended to cooperate with a hole formed in the heating or air conditioning device or its support, in the manner of a rod.

Selon un mode de réalisation particulier, la saillie est montée orientable sur le dispositif. Elle est alors destinée à coopérer avec une fente formée dans l'appareil de chauffage ou climatisation ou son support.According to a particular embodiment, the projection is pivotally mounted on the device. It is then intended to cooperate with a slot formed in the heating or air conditioning device or its support.

Selon un mode de réalisation particulier, chaque dispositif de fixation est formé d'un seul tenant.According to a particular embodiment, each fixing device is formed in one piece.

Selon un mode de réalisation particulier, chaque dispositif de fixation est constitué d'une pièce d'ancrage dans laquelle est formé le trou d'ancrage, et d'une pièce d'accouplement sur laquelle est formé le moyen d'accouplement, la pièce d'ancrage et la pièce d'accouplement étant solidarisées par une pièce de liaison indépendante ou formée d'un seul tenant avec l'une de la pièce d'ancrage ou de la pièce d'accouplement.According to a particular embodiment, each fixing device consists of an anchoring part in which the anchoring hole is formed, and of a coupling part on which the coupling means, the part is formed anchor and the coupling piece being secured by an independent connecting piece or formed integrally with one of the anchoring piece or the coupling piece.

Chaque dispositif peut par exemple soit être constitué d'une baguette ou tige percée à une extrémité, et maintenue à l'autre extrémité par une bride, auquel cas chaque dispositif est constitué de deux éléments, soit être constitué d'une baguette ou tige maintenue à deux extrémités par deux brides percées, auquel cas chaque dispositif est constitué de trois éléments.Each device can for example either consist of a rod or rod pierced at one end, and held at the other end by a flange, in which case each device consists of two elements, or consist of a rod or rod maintained at two ends by two drilled flanges, in which case each device consists of three elements.

Selon un mode de réalisation particulier, chaque dispositif de fixation est plat, en forme de banane ou croissant de lune, de demi-lune, de baguette, de rond, ou de carré.According to a particular embodiment, each fixing device is flat, in the form of a banana or crescent moon, half-moon, rod, round, or square.

Comme indiqué plus haut, des trous d'ancrage et d'accouplement, ponctuels ou oblongs, peuvent être formés, les trous suivant avantageusement la forme de chaque dispositif.As indicated above, anchor and coupling holes, punctual or oblong, can be formed, the holes advantageously following the shape of each device.

Selon un mode de réalisation particulier, chaque dispositif de fixation est en métal, en plastique, en bois, en matériau composite, ou en une combinaison de ceux-ci.According to a particular embodiment, each fixing device is made of metal, plastic, wood, composite material, or a combination of these.

Selon un mode de réalisation particulier, le kit de fixation comprend en outre des moyens de solidarisation d'un moyen d'accrochage de support avec le moyen d'accouplement de dispositif de fixation.According to a particular embodiment, the fixing kit further comprises means for securing a support hooking means with the coupling means of the fixing device.

Selon un mode de réalisation particulier, le support comprend un châssis en H ou en T ou encore en W. L'invention n'est toutefois pas limitée à cet égard, et peut trouver à s'appliquer quelle que soit la forme du support, par exemple un cadre, ou deux barres, non nécessairement reliées.According to a particular embodiment, the support comprises a frame in H or T or even in W.

Si l'on se réfère à la Figure la, on peut voir que l'on a représenté un dispositif de fixation 1 selon une première variante d'un premier mode de réalisation de l'invention.If we refer to Figure la, we can see that there is shown a fixing device 1 according to a first variant of a first embodiment of the invention.

Le dispositif de fixation 1 est en forme de barre plate 2, deux trous traversants étant formés dans son épaisseur : un premier trou rond 3, formé à une extrémité de la barre 2, et un deuxième trou oblong 4, de direction longitudinale identique à celle de la barre 2, l'une des extrémités du trou oblong 4 étant à l'extrémité de la barre 2 opposée à celle sur laquelle est formé le trou rond 3.The fixing device 1 is in the form of a flat bar 2, two through holes being formed in its thickness: a first round hole 3, formed at one end of the bar 2, and a second oblong hole 4, with a longitudinal direction identical to that of the bar 2, one end of the oblong hole 4 being at the end of the bar 2 opposite to that on which the round hole 3 is formed.

Le dispositif de fixation 1 selon le premier mode de réalisation est destiné, comme pour les autres modes de réalisation, à rattraper la longueur entre un trou préexistant formé dans une surface et un moyen d'accrochage d'appareil de chauffage ou climatisation.The fastening device 1 according to the first embodiment is intended, as for the other embodiments, to make up for the length between a pre-existing hole formed in a surface and a means for attaching heating or air conditioning apparatus.

Dans cette première variante, le trou rond 3 est destiné à recevoir un boulon 5, comprenant une vis à tête plate 6, une rondelle 7 et un écrou 8.In this first variant, the round hole 3 is intended to receive a bolt 5, comprising a flat head screw 6, a washer 7 and a nut 8.

Comme représenté sur la Figure la, la tête de la vis 6 est placée sous la barre 2, et permet de fixer entre la face supérieure de la barre 2 et la rondelle 7 et l'écrou 8 un support d'appareil de chauffage ou climatisation ou directement un appareil de chauffage ou climatisation, comme cela sera décrit plus en détail ci-après.As shown in Figure la, the head of the screw 6 is placed under the bar 2, and allows to fix between the upper face of the bar 2 and the washer 7 and the nut 8 a heater or air conditioning support or directly a heating or air conditioning device, as will be described in more detail below.

La rondelle 9 sert quant à elle à fixer dans le trou oblong 4, au moyen d'une vis non représentée, le dispositif de fixation 1 dans un trou préexistant formé dans la surface murale, comme cela sera décrit plus en détail ci-après.The washer 9 is used for fixing in the oblong hole 4, by means of a screw not shown, the fixing device 1 in a pre-existing hole formed in the wall surface, as will be described in more detail below.

Si l'on se réfère à la Figure 1b, on peut voir que l'on a représenté une deuxième variante du premier mode de réalisation.If we refer to the Figure 1b , it can be seen that a second variant of the first embodiment has been shown.

Comme dans la première variante, le dispositif de fixation 1' est en forme de barre plate 2', deux trous traversants étant formés dans son épaisseur : un premier trou rond 3', formé à une extrémité de la barre 2', et un deuxième trou oblong 4', de direction longitudinale identique à celle de la barre 2', l'une des extrémités du trou oblong 4' étant à l'extrémité de la barre 2' opposée à celle sur laquelle est formé le trou rond 3'.As in the first variant, the fixing device 1 ′ is in the form of a flat bar 2 ′, two through holes being formed in its thickness: a first round hole 3 ', formed at one end of the bar 2', and a second oblong hole 4 ', of longitudinal direction identical to that of the bar 2', one end of the oblong hole 4 'being at the end of the bar 2 'opposite to that on which the round hole 3' is formed.

Dans cette deuxième variante, le trou oblong 4' est destiné à recevoir un boulon 5', comprenant une vis 6', une rondelle 7' et un écrou 8'.In this second variant, the oblong hole 4 'is intended to receive a bolt 5', comprising a screw 6 ', a washer 7' and a nut 8 '.

Comme représenté sur la Figure 1b, la tête de la vis 6' est placée sous la barre 2', et permet de fixer entre la face supérieure de la barre 2' et la rondelle 7' et l'écrou 8' un support d'appareil de chauffage ou climatisation ou directement un appareil de chauffage ou climatisation, comme cela sera décrit plus en détail ci-après.As shown in the Figure 1b , the head of the screw 6 'is placed under the bar 2', and makes it possible to fix between the upper face of the bar 2 'and the washer 7' and the nut 8 'a support for a heating or air conditioning device or directly a heating or air conditioning device, as will be described in more detail below.

Le trou rond 3' sert quant à lui à fixer dans le trou rond 3', au moyen d'une vis et facultativement d'une rondelle non représentées, le dispositif de fixation 1' dans un trou préexistant formé dans la surface murale, comme cela sera décrit plus en détail ci-après.The round hole 3 'is used to fix in the round hole 3', by means of a screw and optionally a washer not shown, the fixing device 1 'in a pre-existing hole formed in the wall surface, as this will be described in more detail below.

Le décrochement 1a' formé dans la barre 2' sert à accommoder l'épaisseur de la tête de vis 6', entre la surface murale et la partie inférieure de la barre 2'.The recess 1a 'formed in the bar 2' serves to accommodate the thickness of the screw head 6 ', between the wall surface and the lower part of the bar 2'.

Si l'on se réfère à la Figure 2, on peut voir que l'on a représenté un dispositif de fixation 11 selon un deuxième mode de réalisation.If we refer to the Figure 2 , it can be seen that there is shown a fixing device 11 according to a second embodiment.

Le dispositif de fixation 11 est en forme de barre plate 12, avec une saillie 13 formée à une extrémité de la barre 12 et un trou oblong 14 formé à travers la barre 12, de direction longitudinale identique à celle de la barre 12, l'une des extrémités du trou oblong 14 étant à l'extrémité de la barre 12 opposée à celle sur laquelle est formée la saillie 13.The fixing device 11 is in the form of a flat bar 12, with a projection 13 formed at one end of the bar 12 and an oblong hole 14 formed through the bar 12, with a longitudinal direction identical to that of the bar 12, the one of the ends of the oblong hole 14 being at the end of the bar 12 opposite to that on which the projection 13 is formed.

La saillie 13 comporte une base cylindrique 13a, un décrochement 13b formé à l'extrémité de la base cylindrique 13a opposée à celle solidarisée à la barre 12, et une extrémité libre arrondie 13c formée au-dessus du décrochement 13b.The projection 13 comprises a cylindrical base 13a, a recess 13b formed at the end of the cylindrical base 13a opposite to that secured to the bar 12, and a free rounded end 13c formed above the recess 13b.

Dans ce mode de réalisation, la saillie 13 est destinée à coopérer avec un trou correspondant formé dans l'appareil de chauffage ou climatisation ou son support. Ce trou correspondant peut par exemple être en forme de trou de serrure afin que l'extrémité libre arrondie 13c de la saillie 13 entre dans le trou par sa partie élargie pour être bloquée dans la partie plus étroite. Le trou oblong 14 sert quant à lui, comme dans la première variante du premier mode de réalisation, à fixer le dispositif de fixation 11 dans un trou préexistant formé dans une surface.In this embodiment, the projection 13 is intended to cooperate with a corresponding hole formed in the heating or air conditioning device or its support. This corresponding hole can for example be in the form of a keyhole so that the rounded free end 13c of the projection 13 enters the hole through its widened part to be locked in the narrower part. As for the first variant of the first embodiment, the oblong hole 14 serves to fix the fixing device 11 in a pre-existing hole formed in a surface.

Si l'on se réfère à la Figure 3, on peut voir que l'on a représenté un dispositif de fixation 21 selon un troisième mode de réalisation.If we refer to the Figure 3 , we can see that there is shown a fixing device 21 according to a third embodiment.

Le dispositif de fixation 21 est en forme de barre plate 22, avec un trou 23 à une extrémité de la barre 22 et un trou oblong 24 formé à travers la barre 22, de direction longitudinale identique à celle de la barre 22, l'une des extrémités du trou oblong 24 étant à l'extrémité de la barre 22 opposée à celle sur laquelle est formé le trou 23.The fixing device 21 is in the form of a flat bar 22, with a hole 23 at one end of the bar 22 and an oblong hole 24 formed through the bar 22, with a longitudinal direction identical to that of the bar 22, one the ends of the oblong hole 24 being at the end of the bar 22 opposite to that on which the hole 23 is formed.

Une saillie en cornière 25 présente un trou 25a dans l'une de ses faces, destiné à coopérer avec le trou 23 formé dans la barre 22.An angle projection 25 has a hole 25a in one of its faces, intended to cooperate with the hole 23 formed in the bar 22.

Un boulon comprenant une vis 26, une rondelle 27 et un écrou 28 permettent de fixer la cornière 25 sur la barre 22, en orientant l'angle formé par la cornière 25 par rapport à la barre 22.A bolt comprising a screw 26, a washer 27 and a nut 28 makes it possible to fix the angle 25 on the bar 22, by orienting the angle formed by the angle 25 relative to the bar 22.

Dans ce mode de réalisation, la cornière 25 est destinée à coopérer avec une fente correspondante formée dans l'appareil de chauffage ou climatisation ou son support, le trou oblong 24 servant quant à lui, comme dans la première variante du premier mode de réalisation, à fixer le dispositif de fixation 21 dans un trou préexistant formé dans une surface.In this embodiment, the angle 25 is intended to cooperate with a corresponding slot formed in the heating or air conditioning apparatus or its support, the oblong hole 24 serving for its part, as in the first variant of the first embodiment, fixing the fixing device 21 in a pre-existing hole formed in a surface.

Dans tous les modes de réalisation, on a donc une partie du dispositif de fixation qui permet sa fixation dans un trou préexistant sur la surface et une partie destinée à coopérer avec l'appareil de chauffage ou climatisation ou son support.In all the embodiments, there is therefore a part of the fixing device which allows its fixing in a pre-existing hole on the surface and a part intended to cooperate with the heating or air conditioning device or its support.

D'autres variantes selon le même principe entrent également dans le cadre de la présente invention. Ainsi, l'extrémité du dispositif de fixation peut porter tout moyen destiné à coopérer pour un accrochage à un moyen complémentaire porté par l'appareil de chauffage ou climatisation ou son support.Other variants according to the same principle also fall within the scope of the present invention. Thus, the end of the fixing device can carry any means intended to cooperate for attachment to a complementary means carried by the heating or air conditioning device or its support.

L'invention n'est également pas limitée par la taille, la dimension ou la disposition du ou des trous formés dans la barre. Un unique trou oblong, plusieurs trous ronds discrets, plusieurs trous oblongs, des trous de toutes formes et toutes combinaisons de trous sont envisagés dans le cadre de la présente invention.The invention is also not limited by the size, dimension or arrangement of the hole or holes formed in the bar. A single oblong hole, several discrete round holes, several oblong holes, holes of all shapes and all combinations of holes are envisaged in the context of the present invention.

Le ou les trous permettent, avec un unique dispositif de fixation, de pouvoir rattraper plusieurs écartements entre le trou préexistant et la fixation de l'appareil de chauffage/climatisation ou son support, de manière continue par un trou oblong ou de manière discrète avec des trous séparés d'un pas constant ou non. Le dispositif de fixation selon l'invention est donc utilisable avec une grande diversité de trous préexistants et d'appareils de chauffage/climatisation.The hole or holes allow, with a single fixing device, to be able to make up for several gaps between the pre-existing hole and the fixing of the heating / air conditioning unit or its support, continuously by an oblong hole or discreetly with holes separated by a constant pitch or not. The fixing device according to the invention can therefore be used with a wide variety of pre-existing holes and heating / air conditioning devices.

Si l'on se réfère maintenant aux Figures 4 et 5, on peut voir que l'on a représenté une utilisation de dispositifs de fixation selon l'invention avec un support d'appareil de chauffage/climatisation 30 sur une surface S.If we now refer to Figures 4 and 5 , it can be seen that there is shown a use of fastening devices according to the invention with a heating / air conditioning device support 30 on a surface S.

Le support d'appareil de chauffage/climatisation 30 est un support en H, comprenant dans le mode de réalisation non limitatif représenté, deux montants 31 et 32 reliés par une traverse 33, les montants 31 et 32 étant reliés à la traverse 33 par des moyens de fixation par exemple de type vis 34.The heating / air conditioning device support 30 is an H-shaped support, comprising, in the non-limiting embodiment shown, two uprights 31 and 32 connected by a cross-member 33, the uprights 31 and 32 being connected to the cross-member 33 by fixing means, for example of screw type 34.

L'invention n'est pas limité à ce support, et tout support, en H, en T, en W, ou constitué d'au moins un montant/une traverse entre dans le cadre de la présente invention.The invention is not limited to this support, and any support, in H, in T, in W, or made up of at least one upright / a crosspiece falls within the scope of the present invention.

Le support 30 présente des trous préformés 35, à travers lesquels fixer des boulons 36 en vue de fixer le support 30 sur une surface (mur ou plafond par exemple).The support 30 has preformed holes 35, through which to fix bolts 36 in order to fix the support 30 on a surface (wall or ceiling for example).

Sur la surface sont également préformés des trous 37, par exemple issus du montage sur la même surface d'un autre appareil de chauffage/climatisation, qui ne sont pas en correspondance avec les trous 35 du support 30.On the surface are also preformed holes 37, for example from the mounting on the same surface of another heating / air conditioning device, which are not in correspondence with the holes 35 of the support 30.

Afin de rattraper le décalage ou écartement entre chaque trou 35 et chaque trou 37, des dispositifs de fixation 38 sont disposés entre les deux trous.In order to make up for the offset or spacing between each hole 35 and each hole 37, fixing devices 38 are arranged between the two holes.

Dans le mode de réalisation représenté sur les Figures 4 et 5, le dispositif de fixation 38 est selon le premier mode de réalisation, deuxième variante, sans le décrochement 1a' de cette deuxième variante du premier mode de réalisation, le dispositif de fixation étant donc une barre plate avec deux trous, l'un rond, pour une fixation par une vis 39 dans le trou 37, l'autre oblong pour une fixation par boulon 36 au support 30.In the embodiment shown in the Figures 4 and 5 , the fixing device 38 is according to the first embodiment, second variant, without the step 1a ′ of this second variant of the first embodiment, the fixing device therefore being a flat bar with two holes, one round, for fixing by a screw 39 in the hole 37, the other oblong for fixing by bolt 36 to the support 30.

Il est à noter qu'il n'est pas forcément nécessaire d'avoir autant de dispositifs de fixation 38 que de trous 35. Il est en effet possible d'aligner un ou plusieurs trous 35, 37, et d'utiliser des dispositifs de fixation 38 uniquement pour les couples de trous 35, 37 décalés.It should be noted that it is not necessarily necessary to have as many fixing devices 38 as there are holes 35. It is indeed possible to align one or more holes 35, 37, and to use fixing devices. fixing 38 only for pairs of offset holes 35, 37.

Comme indiqué plus haut en liaison avec les deuxième et troisième modes de réalisation, chaque dispositif de fixation peut être fixé au support autrement que par boulon : par coopération d'une extrémité arrondie d'une saillie sur le dispositif de fixation avec un trou formé dans le support (deuxième mode de réalisation) ou par coopération d'une cornière sur le dispositif de fixation avec une fente formée dans le support (troisième mode de réalisation), auquel cas une orientation de l'angle formé par la cornière préalable pourra être nécessaire afin de garantir une bonne coopération avec les fentes du support.As indicated above in connection with the second and third embodiments, each fixing device can be fixed to the support otherwise than by bolt: by cooperation of a rounded end of a projection on the fixing device with a hole formed in the support (second embodiment) or by cooperation of an angle iron on the fixing device with a slot formed in the support (third embodiment), in which case an orientation of the angle formed by the prior angle iron may be necessary in order to guarantee good cooperation with the slots of the support.

De même, il est également envisagé dans le cade de la présente invention que les dispositifs de fixation coopèrent directement avec l'appareil de chauffage ou climatisation.Similarly, it is also envisaged in the box of the present invention that the fixing devices cooperate directly with the heating or air conditioning device.

L'invention permet le changement d'un appareil de chauffage ou climatisation monté sur une surface par l'intermédiaire d'un support mural, par les étapes consistant à :

  • détacher l'appareil de chauffage ou climatisation monté sur la surface de son support mural,
  • démonter le support mural de la surface,
  • fixer un nouvel appareil de chauffage ou climatisation ou son support en utilisant au moins un dispositif de fixation tel que défini ci-dessus ou un kit de fixation tel que défini ci-dessus, sans percer de nouveau trou dans la surface, en fixant chaque moyen d'accrochage du nouvel appareil de chauffage ou climatisation ou de son support à un trou déjà formé dans la surface soit directement, soit par l'intermédiaire d'un dispositif de fixation lorsque le moyen d'accrochage du nouvel appareil de chauffage ou climatisation ou de son support n'est pas aligné avec un trou déjà formé dans la surface.
The invention allows the replacement of a heating or air conditioning device mounted on a surface by means of a wall support, by the steps consisting in:
  • detach the heating or air conditioning device mounted on the surface from its wall support,
  • remove the wall support from the surface,
  • fix a new heating or air conditioning device or its support using at least one fixing device as defined above or a fixing kit as defined above, without drilling a new hole in the surface, fixing each means hanging new heating or air conditioning device or its support to a hole already formed in the surface either directly or by means of a fixing device when the attachment means of the new heating or air conditioning device or its support n is not aligned with a hole already formed in the surface.
