Description

La présente invention est relative à une cloison amovible ou un module de cloison amovible qui peut être placé entre une première surface d'appui, notamment le sol, et une deuxième surface d'appui d'une construction, notamment le plafond d'une construction, notamment un bâtiment ou autre espace à compartimenter tel qu'une construction de véhicule routier ou ferroviaire ou d'un vaisseau aérospatial. Elle concerne également un procédé de montage ou démontage d'une telle cloison ainsi qu'un dispositif de serrage particulier.The present invention relates to a removable partition or a removable partition module which can be placed between a first support surface, in particular the ground, and a second support surface of a construction, in particular the ceiling of a construction , in particular a building or other space to be compartmentalized such as a construction of a road or rail vehicle or of an aerospace vessel. It also relates to a method for assembling or dismantling such a partition as well as a particular clamping device.

L'architecture moderne est de plus en plus à la recherche de systèmes constructifs évolutifs ; c.-à-d. qui permettent d'adapter l'agencement des pièces intérieures aux besoins du moment. A titre d'exemple, lorsque un ou plusieurs enfants arrivent dans une famille, il y a lieu de prévoir des chambres séparées et lorsque les enfants deviennent indépendants et quittent l'habitation, il est intéressant de modifier les espaces de vie. Par ailleurs, les bâtiments hébergeant des bureaux sont soumis à multiples modifications des espaces intérieurs suite à l'évolution des bailleurs ou à la mobilité de ceux-ci. D'autres espaces, comme des véhicules, notamment des véhicules utilitaires ou caravanes, ou autres demandent également à être compartimentés et peuvent être amenés à voir leur aménagement modifié.Modern architecture is increasingly looking for evolving construction systems; i.e. which make it possible to adapt the layout of the interior rooms to the needs of the moment. For example, when one or more children arrive in a family, it is necessary to provide separate bedrooms and when the children become independent and leave the house, it is interesting to modify the living spaces. In addition, buildings housing offices are subject to multiple modifications of interior spaces following changes in landlords or their mobility. Other spaces, such as vehicles, in particular commercial vehicles or caravans, or others also require to be compartmentalized and may have to see their layout modified.

Il existe donc bien un besoin de systèmes permettant le déplacement, l'ajout ou l'élimination de cloisons à coûts réduits et sans causer de gros travaux de montage/démontage et de réfection.There is therefore a need for systems allowing the displacement, addition or elimination of partitions at reduced cost and without causing major assembly/disassembly and repair work.

On connaît des cloisons amovibles sous diverses formes. La demande de brevet belge 2013/0226 décrit des cloisons amovibles. Le montage de celles-ci exige néanmoins de fixer lesdites cloisons au plafond et/ou au sol, notamment par vissage. Un déplacement de telles cloisons laisse alors des traces et il y a lieu d'effectuer des travaux de réfection.Movable partitions are known in various forms. Belgian patent application 2013/0226 describes removable partitions. The assembly of these nevertheless requires that said partitions be fixed to the ceiling and/or to the floor, in particular by screwing. A displacement of such partitions then leaves traces and it is necessary to carry out repair work.

On connaît par le document de brevet FR-1353636 un dispositif de montage de panneaux préfabriqués, comprenant un profilé en U dans lequel est engagée la partie inférieure ou supérieure des panneaux ; le profilé en U comporte des ailes amovibles. Lorsqu'il s'agit de réaliser des cloisons amovibles, les panneaux sont maintenus en place à l'aide de vérins. Pour le placement de ce genre de cloisons, il y a donc lieu de démonter le profilé en U, d'y placer et figer les panneaux en question et d'ensuite refermer le profilé en U.We know from the patent document FR-1353636 a device for mounting prefabricated panels, comprising a U-section in which the lower or upper part of the panels is engaged; the U-profile has removable wings. When it comes to making removable partitions, the panels are held in place using jacks. For the placement of this kind of partitions, it is therefore necessary to dismantle the U-profile, place and freeze the panels in question and then close the U-profile.

Le document US-3423892 décrit un système de cloison comportant des panneaux dont les flancs sont sertis dans des profilés qui eux-mêmes interagissent avec, ou s'emboîtent dans, un profilé de panneau adjacent, ou dans un profilé au plafond ou au sol.The document US-3423892 describes a partition system comprising panels whose sides are crimped into profiles which themselves interact with, or fit into, an adjacent panel profile, or into a ceiling or floor profile.

Le document EP-0629752 décrit une cloison amovible suspendue dans un rail solidaire du plafond. Un ballon ou soufflet sous pression agit sur des vérins qui appuient une lisse supérieure contre ledit rail et une lisse inférieure contre le sol afin de maintenir ladite cloison en place et générer ainsi une isolation à l'air et au bruit. Lorsqu'on relâche la pression dans le ballon ou soufflet, la cloison est libérée et peut être déplacée en coulissant dans le rail. Le dispositif décrit exige la fixation d'un rail au plafond ainsi qu'un compresseur permettant de maintenir le ballon sous pression.The document EP-0629752 describes a removable partition suspended in a rail fixed to the ceiling. A pressurized balloon or bellows acts on cylinders which press an upper rail against said rail and a lower rail against the ground in order to hold said partition in place and thus generate air and noise insulation. When the pressure in the balloon or bellows is released, the partition is released and can be moved by sliding in the rail. The device described requires the fixing of a rail to the ceiling as well as a compressor making it possible to maintain the balloon under pressure.

La publication DE10023247A1 décrit des cloisons amovibles dont les montants sont équipés d'un élément extensible déplacé longitudinalement moyennant une genouillère ou came verrouillable afin de caler la cloison entre le sol et le plafond. Le dispositif décrit ne permet néanmoins pas de préparer les montants en série car il ne permet pas une adaptation automatique aux variations de hauteur entre sol et plafond suite à des tolérances de construction ou à la flèche du plafond et/ou du sol/plancher.The publication DE10023247A1 describes removable partitions whose amounts are equipped with an extendable element moved longitudinally by means of a toggle or lockable cam in order to wedge the partition between the floor and the ceiling. The device described does not, however, make it possible to prepare the uprights in series because it does not allow automatic adaptation to variations in height between floor and ceiling following construction tolerances or the deflection of the ceiling and/or of the floor/floor.

Le document EP-0000717 décrit un dispositif de serrage mécanique de montants de cloison entre le sol et le plafond d'un bâtiment. Le dispositif de serrage transforme un mouvement horizontal tel que le déplacement d'un chariot par une tige filetée en un mouvement vertical qui appuie un sabot contre le plafond par l'intermédiaire de ressorts ou qui, en sens inverse, relâche la pression contre le plafond. La transformation du mouvement horizontal en mouvement vertical s'effectue moyennant un plan incliné ou des biellettes pivotables agencées en parallélogramme. Ce dispositif est, en fait, comparable à un support de montant de cloison réglable en hauteur, comme par exemple une tige filetée engagée dans un écrou solidaire du montant ou un vérin réglable. Toutefois, ce genre de dispositif est normalement constitué de pièces métalliques qui ont tendance à s'oxyder au cours du temps et/ou à se déformer, pouvant ainsi entraver le bon fonctionnement du dispositif ou même le bloquer après une période de temps prolongée. Ce dispositif est assez complexe et se compose d'un nombre relativement élevé de pièces.The document EP-0000717 describes a device for mechanically clamping partition uprights between the floor and the ceiling of a building. The clamping device transforms a horizontal movement such as the displacement of a trolley by a threaded rod into a vertical movement which presses a shoe against the ceiling by means of springs or which, in the opposite direction, releases the pressure against the ceiling . The transformation of the horizontal movement into vertical movement is carried out by means of an inclined plane or pivoting rods arranged in a parallelogram. This device is, in fact, comparable to a height-adjustable partition upright support, such as for example a threaded rod engaged in a nut integral with the upright or an adjustable cylinder. However, this type of device is normally made up of metal parts which tend to oxidize over time and/or to deform, thus being able to hinder the proper functioning of the device or even block it after a period of time. prolonged. This device is quite complex and consists of a relatively large number of parts.

Le document FR-2163716 concerne un montant vertical télescopique réglable en longueur et utilisable pour cloisons de séparation. Il comporte un ressort qui pousse un coulisseau vers l'extérieur. Toutefois, le document ne prévoit pas de moyen commandable pour contrecarrer la force exercée par ledit ressort.The document FR-2163716 relates to a length-adjustable telescopic upright that can be used for partition walls. It has a spring that pushes a slider outward. However, the document does not provide any controllable means to counteract the force exerted by said spring.

Le document US-2380152 de 1945 décrit un dispositif de levage qui comporte un piston commandable agissant contre l'effet d'un ressort. Il en résulte que si l'on relâche la pression dans le piston, le dispositif se rétracte. Ce dispositif ne convient pas comme dispositif de serrage dans le cas d'une cloison amovible, car il y a lieu de maintenir une pression suffisante dans le cylindre ou la vessie qui déplace le piston.The document US-2380152 of 1945 describes a lifting device which comprises a controllable piston acting against the effect of a spring. As a result, if the pressure in the piston is released, the device retracts. This device is not suitable as a clamping device in the case of a removable partition, because it is necessary to maintain sufficient pressure in the cylinder or the bladder which moves the piston.

La présente invention a pour but de fournir des cloisons qui sont aisément amovibles sans exiger de gros travaux de réfection après démontage.The object of the present invention is to provide partitions which are easily removable without requiring major repair work after dismantling.

Un autre but de l'invention consiste à fournir des cloisons amovibles qui procurent une bonne isolation acoustique.Another object of the invention consists in providing removable partitions which provide good acoustic insulation.

Un autre but de l'invention consiste à fournir des cloisons amovibles à faible coût.Another object of the invention consists in providing removable partitions at low cost.

Un autre but de l'invention consiste à fournir une cloison amovible ou un module de cloison amovible qui ne présente pas les inconvénients de l'état de la technique.Another object of the invention consists in providing a removable partition or a removable partition module which does not have the disadvantages of the state of the art.

Plus particulièrement, l'invention vise-t-elle à fournir une cloison amovible ou un module de cloison amovible qui présente moins de risque de grippage, tout en étant de construction simple et compacte.More particularly, does the invention aim to provide a removable partition or a removable partition module which presents less risk of seizing, while being of simple and compact construction.

Les buts de l'invention sont atteints par la cloison amovible ou le module de cloison amovible des revendications annexées.The aims of the invention are achieved by the removable partition or the removable partition module of the appended claims.

Comme le lecteur le comprendra aisément, un élément essentiel pour la réalisation des cloisons amovibles ou modules de cloison amovibles de l'invention consiste en le dispositif de serrage.As the reader will easily understand, an essential element for the production of the removable partitions or removable partition modules of the invention consists of the clamping device.

Selon une forme d'exécution avantageuse, les panneaux sont fixés de part et d'autre du cadre, sur les portants et/ou les entretoises du cadre. Il est entendu dans le cadre de cette invention que le portant peut être un montant vertical ou un support horizontal selon les applications. Avantageusement les panneaux sont montés de manière amovible, par exemple par emboîtement de profilés adaptés moyennant lesquels les panneaux sont suspendus au cadre ou par clipsage.According to an advantageous embodiment, the panels are fixed on either side of the frame, on the bearings and/or the spacers of the frame. It is understood in the context of this invention that the bearing can be a vertical upright or a support horizontal depending on the applications. Advantageously, the panels are mounted in a removable manner, for example by interlocking suitable profiles by means of which the panels are suspended from the frame or by clipping.

Selon une autre forme d'exécution avantageuse, le cadre est également aisément démontable. Pour ce faire, les entretoises peuvent être emboîtables dans les portants, notamment les montants. L'homme de l'art connaît des dispositifs d'emboîtement destinés à ce faire.According to another advantageous embodiment, the frame is also easily removable. To do this, the spacers can be nested in the racks, in particular the uprights. Those skilled in the art know interlocking devices intended to do this.

Selon un autre aspect, la présente invention concerne encore un procédé particulièrement aisé pour le montage d'une cloison amovible selon les revendications de procédé annexées. Pour le démontage on procède de façon inverse, c'est-à-dire qu'après avoir démonté les panneaux, on agit sur le deuxième organe des dispositifs de serrage, qui contrecarre l'effet de l'organe à effet de ressort pour libérer ainsi le montant respectif.According to another aspect, the present invention also relates to a particularly easy method for mounting a removable partition according to the appended method claims. For dismantling, the procedure is reversed, i.e. after dismantling the panels, action is taken on the second member of the clamping devices, which counteracts the effect of the spring-effect member to release thus the respective amount.

Le montage et le démontage d'une cloison selon l'invention est aisé rapide et propre et n'exige aucun outil particulier autre que ceux qui sont généralement disponibles.The assembly and disassembly of a partition according to the invention is easy, quick and clean and does not require any particular tool other than those which are generally available.

Le dispositif de serrage et les cloisons de l'invention conviennent particulièrement bien dans le cas du cloisonnement de constructions diverses, y compris un bâtiment pour bureaux ou habitation(s), un véhicule routier ou ferroviaire, un navire, un vaisseau aérospatial, comme par exemple un avion.The clamping device and the partitions of the invention are particularly suitable for the partitioning of various constructions, including a building for offices or dwelling(s), a road or rail vehicle, a ship, an aerospace vessel, such as example an airplane.

L'invention est décrite plus en détails ci-dessous, a l'appui des figures annexées qui représentent des formes d'exécution préférées d'une cloison verticale pour un bâtiment, comme des bureaux ou une habitation.The invention is described in more detail below, with the support of the appended figures which represent preferred embodiments of a vertical partition for a building, such as offices or a dwelling.

Dans les figures,

  • la figure 1 représente une partie de cloison selon une vue en perspective ; et;
  • la figure 2 est une vue schématique en perspective et en transparence d'un dispositif de serrage selon l'invention .
In the figures,
  • the figure 1 represents a part of a partition according to a perspective view; and;
  • the picture 2 is a schematic view in perspective and in transparency of a clamping device according to the invention.

En référence à la figure 1, on peut voir que la cloison 1 de l'invention comporte un cadre 3 et des panneaux 5 fixés de part et d'autre de celui-ci. Le cadre est formé par des montants 7 et des entretoises 9. Les extrémités supérieures des montants sont équipées de dispositifs de serrage 20 décrits ci-dessous, afin de serrer la cloison de façon amovible entre une première surface d'appui 17, notamment le sol, et une deuxième surface d'appui, notamment le plafond 15.With reference to the figure 1 , it can be seen that the partition 1 of the invention comprises a frame 3 and panels 5 fixed on either side of the latter. The frame is formed by uprights 7 and spacers 9. The upper ends of the uprights are equipped with clamping devices 20 described below, in order to clamp the partition in a removable manner between a first support surface 17, in particular the ground, and a second support surface, in particular the ceiling 15.

Avantageusement, les entretoises 9 sont assemblées de façon aisément amovible ou démontable avec les montants 7. Des moyens d'ancrage pour ce faire sont bien connus de l'homme du métier.Advantageously, the spacers 9 are assembled in an easily removable or removable manner with the uprights 7. Anchoring means for this are well known to those skilled in the art.

Le cadre peut encore comporter une lisse supérieure 11 et une lisse inférieure 13 logée respectivement entre le cadre 1 et le plafond 15 et entre le cadre 1 et le sol 17. Une bande de matière anti-dérapante (non représentée) peut encore être prévue entre la lisse supérieure 11 et le plafond 15 ou entre les extrémités de montants (les dispositifs de serrage) et le plafond 15, et entre la lisse inférieure 13 et le sol 17. Ces matières sont généralement assez élastiques et permettent simultanément de former un joint d'étanchéité à l'air et à isoler une pièce de l'autre acoustiquement.The frame may also comprise an upper smooth 11 and a lower smooth 13 housed respectively between the frame 1 and the ceiling 15 and between the frame 1 and the floor 17. A strip of non-slip material (not shown) can also be provided between the top rail 11 and the ceiling 15 or between the ends of the uprights (the clamping devices) and the ceiling 15, and between the bottom rail 13 and the floor 17. These materials are generally quite elastic and at the same time make it possible to form a joint of airtightness and to isolate one room from another acoustically.

Les panneaux 5 peuvent avantageusement être fixés de manière amovible sur le cadre 1. Pour ce faire, on peut prévoir des profilés horizontaux solidaires des panneaux qui interagissent, notamment par emboîtement, avec des profilés horizontaux solidaires du cadre. On peut aussi prévoir un assemblage par clipsage.The panels 5 can advantageously be fixed in a removable manner on the frame 1. To do this, provision can be made for horizontal sections secured to the panels which interact, in particular by interlocking, with horizontal sections secured to the frame. It is also possible to provide an assembly by clipping.

Comme on peut le voir à la figure 2, le dispositif de serrage 20 est agencé sur l'extrémité supérieure d'un montant 7. On peut bien entendu aussi prévoir que le dispositif de serrage soit agencé au pied des montants 7 ou même au pied et à l'extrémité supérieure.As can be seen at the figure 2 , the clamping device 20 is arranged on the upper end of an upright 7. It is of course also possible for the clamping device to be arranged at the foot of the uprights 7 or even at the foot and at the upper end.

Selon une forme d'exécution préférée, chaque montant de la cloison est équipé d'un dispositif de serrage. D'autres formes d'exécution sont possibles, comme par exemple un montant sur plusieurs, par exemple deux ou trois, étant équipé d'un dispositif de serrage 20.According to a preferred embodiment, each upright of the partition is equipped with a clamping device. Other embodiments are possible, such as for example one amount out of several, for example two or three, being equipped with a clamping device 20.

On a représenté le dispositif de serrage de façon schématique et nonconventionnelle, comme si le matériau le constituant était transparent ; ceci afin de faciliter la compréhension tout en limitant le nombre de figures.The clamping device has been shown schematically and unconventionally, as if the material constituting it were transparent; this in order to facilitate understanding while limiting the number of figures.

Dans la forme d'exécution représentée à la figure 2, le dispositif de serrage 20 est emboîté sur l'extrémité supérieure du montant 7 et y est fixé par vissage. Cet assemblage convient bien dans le cas de montants en bois. Il est bien entendu que tout autre moyen d'assemblage peut convenir également. Dans le cas de montants métalliques, par exemple, on peut prévoir un assemblage par soudage, vissage ou rivetage.In the embodiment shown in figure 2 , the clamping device 20 is fitted onto the upper end of the upright 7 and is fixed thereto by screwing. This assembly works well for wood studs. Of course, any other means assembly may also be suitable. In the case of metal uprights, for example, assembly by welding, screwing or riveting can be provided.

Le dispositif de serrage 20 comporte un fourreau fixe essentiellement tubulaire 25 comportant un arrêt transversal 27 à l'extrémité du fourreau qui est opposée à l'assemblage avec le montant 7, à l'extrémité de l'ensemble donc. L'arrêt transversal 27 du fourreau 25 empêche l'expulsion du coulisseau 31 (voir ci-dessous) hors de son fourreau 25 et peut aussi servir de surface d'appui fixe.The clamping device 20 comprises an essentially tubular fixed sheath 25 comprising a transverse stop 27 at the end of the sheath which is opposite the assembly with the upright 7, therefore at the end of the assembly. The transverse stop 27 of the sleeve 25 prevents the expulsion of the slider 31 (see below) from its sleeve 25 and can also serve as a fixed bearing surface.

Un coulisseau 31 muni d'une tête de coulisseau 33 est agencé de manière à pouvoir se déplacer longitudinalement dans le fourreau. Comme mentionné ci-dessus, son mouvement longitudinal est limité par l'arrêt transversal 27. Un premier organe à effet ressort 35 agit sur le coulisseau 31 et le pousse longitudinalement vers l'extérieur, de manière à appliquer la tête de coulisseau contre une deuxième surface d'appui, notamment le plafond 15, ou contre une lisse supérieure 11. Pour ce faire, le premier organe à effet ressort s'appuie sur une surface d'appui fixe et agit sur le coulisseau 31. Dans la forme d'exécution représentée, l'organe 35 s'appuie sur l'extrémité du montant 7 et agit sur une surface d'appui 37 du coulisseau. Au lieu de l'appui du premier organe 35 sur l'extrémité de montant 7, on peut aussi prévoir un appui sur une surface d'appui supplémentaire solidaire du fourreau. En variante ou en complément, on peut aussi agencer le premier organe 35 à effet de ressort entre l'arrêt transversal 27 et la tête de coulisseau 33.A slider 31 provided with a slider head 33 is arranged so as to be able to move longitudinally in the sheath. As mentioned above, its longitudinal movement is limited by the transverse stop 27. A first spring-effect member 35 acts on the slider 31 and pushes it longitudinally outwards, so as to apply the slider head against a second bearing surface, in particular the ceiling 15, or against an upper rail 11. To do this, the first spring-effect member rests on a fixed bearing surface and acts on the slider 31. In the embodiment shown, the member 35 bears on the end of the upright 7 and acts on a bearing surface 37 of the slider. Instead of the support of the first member 35 on the upright end 7, it is also possible to provide a support on an additional support surface integral with the sheath. As a variant or in addition, it is also possible to arrange the first spring-effect member 35 between the transverse stop 27 and the slider head 33.

Ledit premier organe est avantageusement un ressort, notamment un ressort hélicoïdal. On peut aussi prévoir un ensemble de ressorts. En variante, on peut prévoir un matelas en matériau compressible comme un matériau élastomère, par exemple du polybutadiène ou autres élastomères, ou de la laine minérale, naturelle ou végétale. Par ailleurs, on peut prévoir une combinaison ressort/matière compressible.Said first member is advantageously a spring, in particular a helical spring. It is also possible to provide a set of springs. As a variant, it is possible to provide a mattress made of a compressible material such as an elastomeric material, for example polybutadiene or other elastomers, or mineral, natural or vegetable wool. Furthermore, a spring/compressible material combination can be provided.

Afin de réduire l'encombrement, on peut agencer un matelas d'élastomère et/ou un ressort, notamment une rondelle ressort, entre la tête de coulisseau (mobile) 33 et l'arrêt 27 (fixe) du fourreau 25.In order to reduce the size, an elastomer cushion and/or a spring, in particular a spring washer, can be arranged between the slide head (movable) 33 and the stop 27 (fixed) of the sheath 25.

Un deuxième organe 39 qui est commandable est agencé de manière à pouvoir contrecarrer l'effet dudit premier organe 37 et ainsi rétracter le coulisseau 31 et sa tête de coulisseau 33. A la figure 2, l'organe 39 n'est représenté que partiellement. Dans la forme d'exécution représentée, il s'agit d'un élément gonflable, notamment d'une chambre à air, qui est donc gonflable et dégonflable et qui est agencé entre la surface 37 du coulisseau et l'arrêt transversal fixe 27 du fourreau.A second member 39 which is controllable is arranged so as to be able to counteract the effect of said first member 37 and thus retract the slider 31 and its slider head 33. At the figure 2 , the member 39 is only partially shown. In the embodiment shown, it is an inflatable element, in particular a air chamber, which is therefore inflatable and deflatable and which is arranged between the surface 37 of the slider and the fixed transverse stop 27 of the sheath.

En variante, on peut prévoir un électro-aimant ou un mécanisme à tige filetée interagissant avec un écrou ou un agencement basé sur un système de levier.Alternatively, an electromagnet or a threaded rod mechanism interacting with a nut or an arrangement based on a lever system can be provided.

Pour le montage, on actionne le deuxième organe des dispositifs de serrage des montants respectifs, de manière à rétracter, contre l'effet ressort du premier organe, les têtes de coulisseau des montants. Ensuite, on place les montants selon l'emplacement voulu et on relâche l'effet du deuxième organe. Dans la forme d'exécution d'une chambre à air, il suffit donc de relâcher l'air par la soupape. De ce fait, la tête de coulisseau 33 est appliquée contre le plafond 15 ou la lisse supérieure 11 et la base du cadre s'appuie sur le sol 17. On peut alors relier les montants par les entretoises et monter les panneaux de revêtement.For assembly, the second member of the clamping devices of the respective uprights is actuated, so as to retract, against the spring effect of the first member, the slide heads of the uprights. Then, the uprights are placed in the desired location and the effect of the second member is released. In the embodiment of an inner tube, it is therefore sufficient to release the air through the valve. As a result, the slider head 33 is applied against the ceiling 15 or the top rail 11 and the base of the frame rests on the floor 17. The uprights can then be connected by the spacers and the covering panels mounted.

Pour le placement des montants, il faut, bien entendu, veiller à ce qu'ils soient bien verticaux. Il peut alors s'avérer utile de provisoirement serrer une lisse supérieure, éventuellement moyennant une bande de matière antidérapante contre le plafond 15 et une lisse inférieure éventuellement moyennant une bande de matière antidérapante contre le sol 17, afin de marquer l'emplacement des divers montants.For the placement of the uprights, it is of course necessary to ensure that they are vertical. It may then prove useful to temporarily tighten an upper rail, possibly with a strip of non-slip material against the ceiling 15 and a lower rail, possibly with a strip of non-slip material against the floor 17, in order to mark the location of the various uprights .

Pour le démontage, on agit de façon inverse : on démonte d'abord les panneaux de revêtement, puis on démonte les entretoises. Ensuite, on actionne les deuxièmes organes à l'encontre de l'effet ressort du premier organe qui cale le montant respectif entre sol et plafond, ce qui entraîne la libération des montants correspondants.For dismantling, the procedure is reversed: first the covering panels are dismantled, then the spacers are dismantled. Then, the second members are actuated against the spring effect of the first member which wedges the respective upright between floor and ceiling, which results in the release of the corresponding uprights.

La description ci-dessus a été maintenue simple afin de faciliter la compréhension et de ne pas encombrer les dessins, mais il est clair pour l'homme de l'art que les cloisons selon l'invention peuvent se composer d'éléments différents, sans pour autant sortir du cadre de la présente invention définie par les revendications annexées.The above description has been kept simple in order to facilitate understanding and not to clutter the drawings, but it is clear to those skilled in the art that the partitions according to the invention can be composed of different elements, without however, departing from the scope of the present invention defined by the appended claims.

Il est bien entendu que l'invention ne se limite pas aux formes d'exécution décrite ou représentée et que d'autres formes d'exécution tombent sous les revendications annexées. Ainsi, on peut prévoir des cloisons comportant des portants horizontaux serrés entre deux surfaces d'appui verticales opposées, à l'aide des dispositifs de serrage susmentionnés.It is understood that the invention is not limited to the embodiments described or represented and that other embodiments fall under the appended claims. Thus, it is possible to provide partitions comprising horizontal supports clamped between two opposite vertical bearing surfaces, using the aforementioned clamping devices.
