Domaine techniqueTechnical area

La présente invention a pour objet un nouvel accessoire de finition déformable adapté pour former un raccord entre deux surfaces, et concerne notamment le domaine de la décoration intérieure.The subject of the present invention is a new deformable finishing accessory suitable for forming a connection between two surfaces, and relates in particular to the field of interior decoration.

Art antérieurPrior art

Dans le cas particulier de la pose des revêtements de sol, à pose flottante ou à coller, en bois ou similaire, ou de la pose de revêtements de sol de type vinyle, tapis ou carrelage, il est usuel d'utiliser différents types d'accessoires de finition en bois ou similaire, en plastique, ou en métal, pouvant être recouverts ou non d'un film décoratif, afin de réaliser des raccords esthétiques de type barres de seuils, par exemple pour raccorder deux revêtements de sol contigus et disjoints, ou pour raccorder un revêtement de sol et le sol.In the particular case of the laying of floor coverings, floating or glued, in wood or the like, or of the laying of floor coverings of the vinyl, carpet or tile type, it is usual to use different types of finishing accessories in wood or the like, in plastic, or in metal, which may or may not be covered with a decorative film, in order to make aesthetic connections of the threshold bar type, for example to connect two contiguous and disjoint floor coverings, or to connect a floor covering and the floor.

Des accessoires de finition permettant de réaliser des raccords esthétiques entre deux surfaces, et par exemple des barres de seuils, sont décrits notamment dans les documents BE 1 019 657 A3 et JP S56 7808 U , ainsi que dans les demandes de brevet français FR 2 737 237 , FR 2 848 234 , FR 2 695 671 , FR 2 783 854 , et dans le brevet américain US 6 745 534 . Dans le document BE 1 019 657 A3 , l'accessoire de finition comprend un profilé de finition comportant deux ailes rigides, et au moins une pièce de blocage comportant une cale de réglage. 11Finishing accessories allowing aesthetic connections to be made between two surfaces, and for example threshold bars, are described in particular in the documents BE 1 019 657 A3 And JP S56 7808 U , as well as in French patent applications FR 2 737 237 , FR 2 848 234 , FR 2 695 671 , FR 2 783 854 , and in US patent US 6,745,534 . In the document BE 1 019 657 A3 , the finishing accessory comprises a finishing profile comprising two rigid flanges, and at least one blocking piece comprising an adjustment shim. 11

Dans les publications susvisées FR 2 848 234 , FR 2 695 671 , FR 2 783 854 , et US 6 745 534 , l'accessoire de finition peut être fixé entre les deux surfaces à raccorder avec un léger débattement angulaire permettant de rattraper des écarts de niveau entre les deux surfaces. Cependant les solutions techniques proposées dans ces publications ne sont pas adaptées pour rattraper de manière fiable et solide mécaniquement des écarts de niveau entre les deux surfaces qui peuvent être très différents d'une application à l'autre. Les solutions techniques proposées dans ces publications sont donc « mono-fonction », c'est-à-dire adaptées pour former un raccord de finition entre deux surfaces dans une gamme d'écarts de niveau entre les surfaces à raccorder qui est très restreinte.In the above publications FR 2 848 234 , FR 2 695 671 , FR 2 783 854 , And US 6,745,534 , the finishing accessory can be fixed between the two surfaces to be connected with a slight angular displacement making it possible to compensate for differences in level between the two surfaces. However, the technical solutions proposed in these publications are not suitable for compensating in a reliable and mechanically sound manner for differences in level between the two surfaces which can be very different from one application to another. The technical solutions proposed in these publications are therefore "single-function", i.e. adapted to form a finishing connection between two surfaces in a range of level differences between the surfaces to be connected which is very restricted.

On a par ailleurs proposé dans demande de brevet internationale WO2014/102518 différentes solutions d'accessoire de finition mettant en oeuvre un profilé de finition, qui est adapté pour former un raccord de finition entre deux surfaces, et qui est déformable de manière à permettre un rattrapage de niveau entre les deux surfaces. Ces solutions sont intéressantes car elles permettent d'adapter facilement l'accessoire de finition à différents écarts de niveau entre surfaces en déformant de manière appropriée le profilé de finition. Cependant d'une part ces solutions, et notamment la solution de la figure 23 de cette demande de brevet internationale WO2014/102518 , conviennent pour des revêtements de sol épais, mais présentent un encombrement en hauteur trop important qui les rend inadaptées pour des revêtements de sol fins, de type revêtements de sol vinyle dit LVT, notamment revêtements de sol composés de lames ou dalles LVT, dont l'épaisseur est généralement inférieure à 6mm.It has also been proposed in an international patent application WO2014/102518 different finishing accessory solutions implementing a finishing profile, which is adapted to form a finishing connection between two surfaces, and which is deformable so as to allow leveling up between the two surfaces. These solutions are interesting because they allow the finishing accessory to be easily adapted to different level differences between surfaces by appropriately deforming the finishing profile. However on the one hand these solutions, and in particular the solution of figure 23 of this international patent application WO2014/102518 , are suitable for thick floor coverings, but have too much space in height which makes them unsuitable for thin floor coverings, of the so-called LVT vinyl floor covering type, in particular floor coverings made up of LVT strips or tiles, whose thickness is generally less than 6mm.

Objectifs de l'inventionObjectives of the invention

Un objectif de l'invention est de proposer un nouvel accessoire de finition qui permet de former un raccord de finition entre deux surfaces, qui est adaptable facilement et de manière robuste en sorte par exemple de rattraper le cas échéant un écart de niveau entre deux surfaces et/ou en sorte par exemple de raccorder deux surfaces orientées sensiblement transversalement, et notamment perpendiculairement l'une par rapport l'autre, et qui peut présenter un encombrement en hauteur faible de manière notamment à pouvoir être mis en oeuvre avec des revêtements de sol de faible épaisseur.An object of the invention is to propose a new finishing accessory which makes it possible to form a finishing connection between two surfaces, which is easily and robustly adaptable so as, for example, to compensate, if necessary, for a difference in level between two surfaces. and/or in such a way, for example, as to connect two surfaces oriented substantially transversely, and in particular perpendicular to each other, and which may have a low overall height so as in particular to be able to be used with floor coverings low thickness.

Un autre objectif de l'invention est de proposer un nouvel accessoire de finition, qui permet de former un raccord de finition entre deux surfaces, qui est robuste et facile à fabriquer en série.Another object of the invention is to propose a new finishing accessory, which makes it possible to form a finishing connection between two surfaces, which is robust and easy to manufacture in series.

Description détailléedetailed description

On a représenté sur les figures 1 et 5 une première variante de réalisation d'un accessoire de finition 1A comportant un profilé de finition 10 déformable, d'axe longitudinal A, qui s'étend en longueur dans la direction Z.We represented on the figure 1 And 5 a first embodiment variant of a finishing accessory 1A comprising a deformable finishing profile 10, of longitudinal axis A, which extends in length in the direction Z.

Dans cette variante de réalisation, le profilé de finition 10 déformable est un profilé monobloc, c'est-à-dire dire un profilé fait d'une seule pièce.In this alternative embodiment, the deformable finishing profile 10 is a one-piece profile, that is to say a profile made in one piece.

Ce profilé de finition 10 monobloc peut par exemple être fabriqué par extrusion, et plus particulièrement par co-extrusion.This one-piece finishing profile 10 can for example be manufactured by extrusion, and more particularly by co-extrusion.

Sur les figures 1 et 4, ce profilé de finition 10 est utilisé pour constituer un raccord de finition entre deux surfaces S1 et S2 sensiblement coplanaires constituées respectivement par les faces supérieures de deux revêtements de sol RV1 et RV2 sensiblement de même épaisseur.On the figure 1 And 4 , this finishing profile 10 is used to form a finishing connection between two substantially coplanar surfaces S1 and S2 constituted respectively by the upper faces of two floor coverings RV1 and RV2 of substantially the same thickness.

Sur les figures 5 et 8, ce profilé de finition 10 est utilisé pour constituer un raccord de finition entre deux surfaces S1 et S2 présentant un écart de niveau E, et par exemple entre la face supérieure S1 d'un revêtement de sol RV1 et le sol sur lequel est posé ce revêtement de sol.On the figure 5 And 8 , this finishing profile 10 is used to form a finishing connection between two surfaces S1 and S2 having a level difference E, and for example between the upper face S1 of a floor covering RV1 and the floor on which this flooring.

En référence à la figure 3 ou à la figure 7, ce profilé de finition 10 comprend deux ailes rigides 100 et 101, de faible épaisseur et de même longueur, qui s'étendent en longueur parallèlement à l'axe longitudinal A, qui sont espacées l'une de l'autre, et qui sont destinées à être en contact respectivement avec les deux surfaces S1, S2. Ces deux ailes 101 et 101 sont reliées entre elles sur toute leur longueur par une charnière flexible 102 de plus faible épaisseur que les ailes 100 et 101.With reference to the picture 3 or at the figure 7 , this finishing profile 10 comprises two rigid wings 100 and 101, thin and of the same length, which extend in length parallel to the longitudinal axis A, which are spaced from each other, and which are intended to be in contact respectively with the two surfaces S1, S2. These two wings 101 and 101 are interconnected over their entire length by a flexible hinge 102 of thinner thickness than the wings 100 and 101.

Cette charnière 102 est dans son intégralité positionnée entre les deux ailes 100 et 101 et s'étend en longueur parallèlement audit axe longitudinal A.This hinge 102 is in its entirety positioned between the two wings 100 and 101 and extends in length parallel to said longitudinal axis A.

Cette charnière flexible 102 permet une rotation des deux ailes 100, 101 l'une par rapport à l'autre dans le plan (X, Y) perpendiculaire à l'axe longitudinal A, de préférence sans étirage ou compression de la charnière 102, et de ce fait sans modification des dimensions de la face supérieure de la charnière flexible 102.This flexible hinge 102 allows rotation of the two wings 100, 101 relative to each other in the plane (X, Y) perpendicular to the longitudinal axis A, preferably without stretching or compression of the hinge 102, and therefore without modifying the dimensions of the upper face of the flexible hinge 102.

De préférence, la charnière flexible 102 est réalisée de telle sorte que sa face supérieure 102a est dans le prolongement des deux faces supérieures 100a et 101a des ailes 100 et 101, de manière à former un profilé de finition 10 dont la face supérieure 10a est uniforme, sans décrochement et sans aspérité à la jonction entre chaque aile 100,101 et la charnière 102. Cette face supérieure 10a du profilé de finition 10 constitue la face apparente du profilé de finition 10, c'est-à-dire la partie du profilé de finition qui est visible une fois l'accessoire de finition installé comme raccord de finition entre deux surfaces S1 et S2.Preferably, the flexible hinge 102 is made such that its upper face 102a is in the extension of the two upper faces 100a and 101a of the wings 100 and 101, so as to form a finishing profile 10 whose upper face 10a is uniform. , without recess and without roughness at the junction between each wing 100,101 and the hinge 102. This upper face 10a of the finishing profile 10 constitutes the visible face of the finishing profile 10, that is to say the part of the finishing profile which is visible once the finishing accessory has been installed as a finishing connection between two surfaces S1 and S2.

Le cas échéant, la face supérieure 10a du profilé de finition 10, y compris la charnière flexible 102, peut être revêtue d'un film décoratif (non représenté sur les figures) qui ne fait pas obstacle à la rotation des deux ailes 100 et 101 l'une par rapport à l'autre dans le plan (X, Y) perpendiculaire à l'axe longitudinal A.If necessary, the upper face 10a of the finishing profile 10, including the flexible hinge 102, can be covered with a decorative film (not shown in the figures) which does not hinder the rotation of the two wings 100 and 101 relative to each other in the plane (X, Y) perpendicular to the longitudinal axis A.

L'aile 100 comporte sur sa face inférieure 100b une saillie longitudinale rigide 100c qui s'étend en longueur parallèlement audit axe longitudinal A. L'aile 101 comporte sur sa face inférieure 101b une saillie longitudinale rigide 101c qui s'étend en longueur parallèlement audit axe longitudinal A.The wing 100 has on its underside 100b a rigid longitudinal projection 100c which extends in length parallel to said longitudinal axis A. The wing 101 has on its underside 101b a projection rigid longitudinal 101c which extends in length parallel to said longitudinal axis A.

La charnière flexible 102 et les deux saillies longitudinales 100c, 101c délimitent entre-elles une gorge longitudinale 103 qui s'étend en longueur parallèlement à l'axe longitudinal A.The flexible hinge 102 and the two longitudinal projections 100c, 101c delimit between them a longitudinal groove 103 which extends in length parallel to the longitudinal axis A.

Le ou les matériaux constitutifs des ailes 100 et 101 et de la charnière 102 sont importance pour l'invention.The material(s) constituting the wings 100 and 101 and the hinge 102 are important for the invention.

Le matériau constitutif de la charnière flexible 102 peut être le même que celui constituant les ailes rigides 100 et 101.The constituent material of the flexible hinge 102 can be the same as that constituting the rigid flanges 100 and 101.

Dans une variante préférée de réalisation, le matériau constitutif de la charnière flexible 102 est différent de celui constituant les ailes rigides 100 et 101. Plus particulièrement les ailes 100 et 101 peuvent par exemple être en plastique de type PVC ou en métal et la charnière 102 peut par exemple être en élastomère ou dans un plastique diffèrent. La charnière flexible 102 peut être réalisée dans un matériau diffèrent de celui des ailes 100 et 101, en étant par exemple constituée du même type de polymère ou d'élastomère que les ailes 100 et 101, mais avec des duretés différentes pour la charnière 102 d'une part et les ailes 100, 101 d'autre part, la dureté du matériau de la charnière 102 étant plus faible que la dureté du matériau des ailes 100, 101.In a preferred variant embodiment, the material constituting the flexible hinge 102 is different from that constituting the rigid wings 100 and 101. More particularly the wings 100 and 101 can for example be made of PVC-type plastic or metal and the hinge can for example be made of elastomer or a different plastic. The flexible hinge 102 can be made of a different material from that of the wings 100 and 101, for example being made of the same type of polymer or elastomer as the wings 100 and 101, but with different hardnesses for the hinge 102 d on the one hand and the wings 100, 101 on the other hand, the hardness of the material of the hinge 102 being lower than the hardness of the material of the wings 100, 101.

De préférence, mais non nécessairement, on utilisera des matériaux extrudables de manière à réaliser le profilé de finition 10 par extrusion ou par co-extrusion.Preferably, but not necessarily, extrudable materials will be used so as to produce the finishing profile 10 by extrusion or by co-extrusion.

Dans le cadre de l'invention, le profilé de finition déformable de l'invention peut également être fabriqué par toute autre méthode de fabrication, et notamment par usinage ou par moulage ou par assemblage.In the context of the invention, the deformable finishing profile of the invention can also be manufactured by any other manufacturing method, and in particular by machining or by molding or by assembly.

Le profilé de finition 10 peut être utilisé avec deux pièces de blocage différentes P1A (figures 1, 2 et 4) et P2A (figures 5, 6 et 8), chaque pièce de blocage P1A et P2A correspondant à une orientation angulaire différente des deux ailes 100 et 101 l'une par rapport à l'autre. La pièce de blocage P1A est utilisée pour bloquer les ailes 100 et 101 du profilé de finition 10 avec la première orientation angulaire des ailes 100 et 101 de la figure 3 (angle α 1). La pièce de blocage P2A est utilisée pour bloquer les ailes 100 et 101 du profilé de finition 10 avec la deuxième orientation angulaire des ailes 100 et 101 de la figure 7 (angle α2).Finishing profile 10 can be used with two different locking pieces P1A ( figures 1, 2 And 4 ) and P2A ( figures 5, 6 And 8 ), each blocking piece P1A and P2A corresponding to a different angular orientation of the two wings 100 and 101 relative to each other. The P1A blocking piece is used to block the flanges 100 and 101 of the profile of finish 10 with the first angular orientation of the wings 100 and 101 of the picture 3 (angle α 1). The P2A blocking piece is used to block the wings 100 and 101 of the finishing profile 10 with the second angular orientation of the wings 100 and 101 of the figure 7 (angle α2).

Chaque pièce de blocage P1A et P2A est constituée par un profilé qui s'étend en longueur. Dans la variante des figures 1 à 8, cette pièce de blocage P1A et P2A s'étend sur toute la longueur du profilé de finition 10. Dans une autre variante, de manière comparable notamment aux variantes des figures 9 et 10, chaque pièce de blocage P1A et P2A peut être de plus faible longueur que le profilé de finition 10 et on peut mettre en oeuvre pour chaque orientation angulaire des deux ailes 100 et 101, plusieurs pièces de blocage P1A ou P2A espacées et réparties sur la longueur du profilé de finition déformable 10.Each blocking piece P1A and P2A consists of a profile which extends in length. In the variant of figures 1 to 8 , this blocking piece P1A and P2A extends over the entire length of the finishing profile 10. In another variant, in a manner comparable in particular to the variants of the figures 9 and 10 , each blocking piece P1A and P2A can be of shorter length than the finishing profile 10 and it is possible to implement for each angular orientation of the two wings 100 and 101, several blocking pieces P1A or P2A spaced apart and distributed over the length of the deformable finishing profile 10.

En référence aux figures 2 et 6, chaque pièce de blocage P1A ou P1B comporte une embase 2 longitudinale, présentant une face inférieure 2a et une face supérieure 2b, deux rebords longitudinaux 20b et 20c à fonction de butée latérales, qui s'étendent en longueur et sont en saillie par rapport à la face supérieure 2b de l'embase 2 et une paroi centrale 20a, qui s'étend en longueur et est positionnée entre les deux rebords longitudinaux 20b et 20c en étant en en saillie par rapport à la face supérieure 2b. Les deux rebords longitudinaux 20b et 20c sont espacés de la cale de réglage 20a et définissent avec la cale de réglage deux logements dans lesquels peuvent s'insérer respectivement les deux saillies longitudinales 100c, 101c.With reference to figure 2 And 6 , each blocking piece P1A or P1B comprises a longitudinal base 2, having a lower face 2a and an upper face 2b, two longitudinal edges 20b and 20c with side abutment function, which extend in length and project relative to the upper face 2b of the base 2 and a central wall 20a, which extends in length and is positioned between the two longitudinal edges 20b and 20c while projecting with respect to the upper face 2b. The two longitudinal edges 20b and 20c are spaced from the adjustment wedge 20a and define with the adjustment wedge two housings into which the two longitudinal projections 100c, 101c can be inserted respectively.

Dans cette variante, la hauteur de la paroi centrale 20a est supérieure à la hauteur des deux rebords longitudinaux 20b, 20c.In this variant, the height of the central wall 20a is greater than the height of the two longitudinal edges 20b, 20c.

Cette paroi centrale 20a forme une cale de réglage, qui est apte à être insérée dans la gorge longitudinale 103 du profilé de finition 10 (figure 4 et figure 8) et qui, une fois insérée dans ladite gorge longitudinale 103, fait office de butée empêchant le rapprochement l'une par rapport à l'autre des deux saillies longitudinales 100c et 101c du profilé de finition 10, de manière à bloquer en rotation vers l'intérieur les deux ailes 100, 101 l'une par rapport à l'autre dans le plan (X,Y) perpendiculaire à l'axe longitudinal A et dans les sens de rotation R1a, R1b des faces inférieures 100b, 101b des ailes 100, 101 l'une vers l'autre, avec une orientation angulaire prédéfinie des deux ailes 100, 101 l'une par rapport à l'autre.This central wall 20a forms an adjustment wedge, which is able to be inserted into the longitudinal groove 103 of the finishing profile 10 ( figure 4 And figure 8 ) and which, once inserted into said longitudinal groove 103, acts as a stop preventing the approximation relative to each other of the two longitudinal projections 100c and 101c of the finishing profile 10, of so as to block inward rotation of the two wings 100, 101 with respect to each other in the plane (X, Y) perpendicular to the longitudinal axis A and in the directions of rotation R1a, R1b of the faces lower 100b, 101b of the wings 100, 101 towards each other, with a predefined angular orientation of the two wings 100, 101 relative to each other.

Dans la variante des figures 1 à 8, la pièce de blocage P1A ou P2A est conçue pour à être emboîtée avec serrage dans un rail de fixation 3 qui est fixé au sol, de telle sorte que (figures 4 et 8) la face inférieure 2a de l'embase 2 est sensiblement parallèle aux deux surfaces S1 et S2 à raccorder.In the variant of figures 1 to 8 , the blocking piece P1A or P2A is designed to be nested tightly in a fixing rail 3 which is fixed to the ground, so that ( figure 4 And 8 ) the underside 2a of the base 2 is substantially parallel to the two surfaces S1 and S2 to be connected.

En référence aux figures 1, 2 et 4, la paroi centrale 20a à fonction de cale de réglage de la pièce de blocage P1A est orientée perpendiculairement à la face inférieure 2a de l'embase 2 ( figure 2 / angle β1 égal à 90°) et permet, une fois insérée dans la gorge 103 du profilé de finition 10, de bloquer en rotation les deux ailes 100, 101 l'une par rapport à l'autre dans le plan (X,Y) perpendiculaire à l'axe longitudinal A et dans les sens de rotation R1a, R1b avec une première orientation angulaire particulière des deux ailes 100, 101 (angle α1 de la figure 3 et angle A1 de 180° de la figure 4) permettant un raccord de deux surfaces S1 et S2 de même niveau. L'angle A1 correspond à l'angle externe entre les faces supérieures 100a et 101a des deux ailes 100 et 101, mesuré aux jonctions de la charnière 102 avec les ailes 100 et 101.With reference to figures 1, 2 And 4 , the central wall 20a with adjustment wedge function of the blocking piece P1A is oriented perpendicular to the lower face 2a of the base 2 ( figure 2 / angle β1 equal to 90°) and allows, once inserted into the groove 103 of the finishing profile 10, to lock the two wings 100, 101 in rotation relative to each other in the plane (X, Y ) perpendicular to the longitudinal axis A and in the directions of rotation R1a, R1b with a first particular angular orientation of the two wings 100, 101 (angle α1 of the picture 3 and angle A1 of 180° from the figure 4 ) allowing a connection of two surfaces S1 and S2 of the same level. The angle A1 corresponds to the external angle between the upper faces 100a and 101a of the two wings 100 and 101, measured at the junctions of the hinge 102 with the wings 100 and 101.

Plus particulièrement dans cette première orientation angulaire, les deux bords longitudinaux 100d et 101d (figures 1 et 4) des deux ailes 100 et 101 destinés à être en contact respectivement avec les deux surfaces S1 et S2 sont dans un plan parallèle à la face inférieure 2a de l'embase 2.More particularly in this first angular orientation, the two longitudinal edges 100d and 101d ( figure 1 And 4 ) of the two wings 100 and 101 intended to be in contact respectively with the two surfaces S1 and S2 are in a plane parallel to the lower face 2a of the base 2.

En référence aux figures 5, 6 et 8, la paroi centrale 20a à fonction de cale de réglage de la pièce de blocage P2A est inclinée par rapport à la face inférieure 2a de l'embase ( figure 6 / angle β2 inférieure à 90° et de l'ordre de 75°) et permet, une fois insérée dans la gorge 103 du profilé de finition 10, de bloquer en rotation les deux ailes 100, 101 l'une par rapport à l'autre dans le plan (X,Y) perpendiculaire à l'axe longitudinal A et dans les sens de rotation R1a, R1b avec une deuxième orientation angulaire particulière des deux ailes 100, 101 (angle α2 de la figure 7 et angle A2 de la figure 8 compris entre 180°et 270°) permettant un raccord de deux surfaces S1 et S2 présentant un écart de niveau E. L'angle A2 correspond à l'angle externe entre les faces supérieures 100a et 101a des deux ailes 100 et 101, mesuré aux jonctions de la charnière 102 avec les ailes 100 et 101.With reference to figures 5, 6 And 8 , the central wall 20a with adjustment wedge function of the locking part P2A is inclined with respect to the lower face 2a of the base ( figure 6 / angle β2 less than 90° and of the order of 75°) and allows, once inserted into the groove 103 of the finishing section 10, to block the two wings 100, 101 in rotation relative to each other. to the other in the plane (X,Y) perpendicular to the longitudinal axis A and in the directions of rotation R1a, R1b with a second particular angular orientation of the two wings 100, 101 (angle α2 of the figure 7 and angle A2 of the figure 8 between 180° and 270°) allowing a connection of two surfaces S1 and S2 having a level difference E. The angle A2 corresponds to the external angle between the upper faces 100a and 101a of the two wings 100 and 101, measured at junctions of the hinge 102 with the wings 100 and 101.

Plus particulièrement dans cette deuxième première orientation angulaire, les deux bords longitudinaux 100d et 101d (figure 8) des deux ailes 100 et 101 destinés à être en contact respectivement avec les deux surfaces S1 et S2 sont dans un plan qui n'est pas parallèle à la face inférieure 2a de l'embase 2.More particularly in this second first angular orientation, the two longitudinal edges 100d and 101d ( figure 8 ) of the two wings 100 and 101 intended to be in contact respectively with the two surfaces S1 and S2 are in a plane which is not parallel to the lower face 2a of the base 2.

Dans les variantes particulières de réalisation illustrées sur les figures, une fois la cale de réglage 20a insérée dans ladite gorge longitudinale 102 du profilé de finition 10, les deux rebords longitudinaux 20b, 20c de la pièce de blocage P1A ou P2A font en outre office, de part et d'autre de la cale de réglage 20, de butées latérales pour les saillies 100c et 101c, et ont pour fonction de bloquer latéralement vers l'extérieur les saillies 100c et 101c. Les deux rebords longitudinaux 20b, 20c de la pièce de blocage P1A ou P2A permettent ainsi un blocage en rotation empêchant l'écartement l'une par rapport à l'autre des deux saillies longitudinales 100c et 101c du profilé de finition 10. On obtient ainsi un blocage en rotation vers l'extérieur des deux ailes 100, 101 l'une par rapport à l'autre dans le plan (X, Y) perpendiculaire à l'axe longitudinal A et dans les sens de rotation R2a et R2b (figures 4 et 8) inverses respectivement aux sens de rotation R1a et R1b.In the particular embodiment variants illustrated in the figures, once the adjustment shim 20a has been inserted into said longitudinal groove 102 of the finishing section 10, the two longitudinal edges 20b, 20c of the blocking part P1A or P2A also act, on either side of the adjustment shim 20, lateral stops for the projections 100c and 101c, and have the function of blocking the projections 100c and 101c laterally outwards. The two longitudinal edges 20b, 20c of the blocking piece P1A or P2A thus allow locking in rotation preventing the separation from each other of the two longitudinal projections 100c and 101c of the finishing profile 10. This gives a blocking in rotation towards the outside of the two wings 100, 101 relative to each other in the plane (X, Y) perpendicular to the longitudinal axis A and in the directions of rotation R2a and R2b ( figure 4 And 8 ) inverse respectively to the directions of rotation R1a and R1b.

Plus particulièrement, chaque butée latérale 20b, 20c de la pièce de blocage P1A ou P2A comporte en outre un ergot longitudinal 21 qui est apte à être inséré dans une rainure longitudinale 100e, 101e (figures 3 et 7 ) correspondante ménagée dans chaque saillie 100c, 101c du profilé de finition 10, de manière à assembler la pièce de blocage P1A ou P2A avec le profilé de finition 10 de manière à former un ensemble monolithique.More particularly, each lateral abutment 20b, 20c of the blocking piece P1A or P2A further comprises a longitudinal lug 21 which is capable of being inserted into a longitudinal groove 100e, 101e ( figure 3 And 7 ) corresponding formed in each projection 100c, 101c of the profile of finishing 10, so as to assemble the blocking piece P1A or P2A with the finishing profile 10 so as to form a monolithic assembly.

Le ou les matériaux constitutifs des pièces de blocage et la méthode de fabrication des pièces de blocage sont sans importance pour l'invention. Une pièce de blocage peut par exemple être en plastique ou en métal et peut être fabriquée par exemple par extrusion, usinage ou moulage.The constituent material(s) of the blocking pieces and the method of manufacturing the blocking pieces are irrelevant for the invention. A blocking piece can for example be made of plastic or metal and can be manufactured for example by extrusion, machining or molding.

Pour procéder à la pose du profilé de finition sur les deux surfaces S1 et S2 à raccorder, il suffit d'assembler le profilé de finition 10 avec l'une des pièces de blocage P1A ou P2A correspondant à l'orientation angulaire appropriée (angle A1 ou angle A2) des ailes 100 et 101, en insérant la cale de réglage 20a de la pièce de blocage P1A ou P2A dans la gorge 102 du profilé de finition. Puis il suffit de fixer l'ensemble entre les deux surfaces à raccorder en emboîtant l'embase 2 de la pièce de blocage P1A ou P2A dans le rail 3 préalablement fixé entre les deux surfaces à raccorder.To proceed with the installation of the finishing profile on the two surfaces S1 and S2 to be connected, it suffices to assemble the finishing profile 10 with one of the blocking pieces P1A or P2A corresponding to the appropriate angular orientation (angle A1 or angle A2) of the wings 100 and 101, by inserting the adjustment shim 20a of the blocking piece P1A or P2A into the groove 102 of the finishing profile. Then it suffices to fix the assembly between the two surfaces to be connected by fitting the base 2 of the blocking part P1A or P2A into the rail 3 previously fixed between the two surfaces to be connected.

On a représenté sur les figures 9 et 10, une deuxième variante de réalisation d'un accessoire de finition 1B comportant le profilé de finition 10 déformable qui a été précédemment décrit, et qui dans cette variante peut être utilisé avec deux types différents de pièces de blocage P1B et P2B. On a représenté sur les figures 11 et 12 une troisième variante de réalisation d'un accessoire de finition 1C comportant le profilé de finition 10 déformable qui peut être utilisé avec deux types différents de pièces de blocage P1C et P2C. Dans ces deux variantes, les pièces de blocage comportent des vis à frapper V pour la fixation de la pièce de blocage sans utilisation d'un rail contrairement à la première variante des figures 1 à 8.We represented on the figures 9 and 10 , a second embodiment of a finishing accessory 1B comprising the deformable finishing profile 10 which has been previously described, and which in this variant can be used with two different types of blocking parts P1B and P2B. We represented on the figures 11 and 12 a third alternative embodiment of a finishing accessory 1C comprising the deformable finishing profile 10 which can be used with two different types of locking pieces P1C and P2C. In these two variants, the blocking pieces comprise screws to hit V for fixing the blocking piece without using a rail, unlike the first variant of the figures 1 to 8 .

On a représenté sur les figures 13 et 14, une quatrième variante de réalisation d'un accessoire de finition 1D comportant le profilé de finition 10 déformable qui peut être utilisé avec une pièce de blocage P3 (figure 15) emboîtable dans un rail 3. Cette pièce de blocage P3 est réversible de manière à permettre le blocage en rotation des deux ailes 100, 101 l'une par rapport dans au moins deux orientations angulaires différentes (Figure 13 et Figure 14) qui dépendent de son sens de montage dans le rail 3.We represented on the figures 13 and 14 , a fourth alternative embodiment of a 1D finishing accessory comprising the deformable finishing profile 10 which can be used with a blocking piece P3 ( figure 15 ) nestable in a rail 3. This blocking piece P3 is reversible so as to allow the locking in rotation of the two wings 100, 101 relative to each other in at least two different angular orientations ( Figure 13 and Figure 14 ) which depend on its mounting direction in the rail 3.

On a représenté sur la figure 16, une cinquième variante de réalisation d'un accessoire de finition 1E comportant le profilé de finition 10 déformable qui peut être utilisé avec une pièce de blocage P4, équipée d'une vis à frapper V pour sa fixation sur une surface, sans mise en oeuvre d'un rail de fixation. Cette pièce de blocage P4 est réversible de manière à permettre le blocage en rotation des deux ailes 100, 101 l'une par rapport dans au moins deux orientations angulaires différentes qui dépendent de son sens de montage.We represented on the figure 16 , a fifth embodiment variant of a finishing accessory 1E comprising the deformable finishing profile 10 which can be used with a blocking piece P4, equipped with a knocking screw V for fixing it to a surface, without implementation of a mounting rail. This blocking piece P4 is reversible so as to allow the blocking in rotation of the two wings 100, 101 relative to each other in at least two different angular orientations which depend on its mounting direction.

Le profilé de finition 10 précédemment décrit est une pièce monobloc. Dans une autre variante, le profilé de finition pourrait être un profilé de finition monolithique, c'est-à-dire constitué par un assemblage monolithique d'au moins deux parties. Par exemple, dans le cadre de l'invention l'une au moins des deux ailes 100 ou 101 d'un profilé de finition monolithique pourrait être détachable de manière comparable à la solution de la figure 14 de la demande de brevet internationale WO 2014/102518 .The finishing profile 10 previously described is a one-piece piece. In another variant, the finishing profile could be a monolithic finishing profile, that is to say constituted by a monolithic assembly of at least two parts. For example, in the context of the invention at least one of the two wings 100 or 101 of a monolithic finishing profile could be detachable in a manner comparable to the solution of the figure 14 of the international patent application WO 2014/102518 .

L'invention n'est pas limitée à un accessoire de finition possédant une ou deux positions angulaires de blocage en rotation des ailes 100 et 101, mais s'étend également à accessoire de finition possédant trois ou plus positions angulaires de blocage en rotation des ailes 100 et 101. Ainsi, dans une autre variante, l'accessoire de finition pourrait comporter trois pièces de blocage ou plus, à raison d'une pièce de blocage pour chaque orientation angulaire différente des ailes 100 et 101 , ou pourrait comporter une pièce de blocage possédant trois sens de montage ou plus, chaque sens de montage correspondant à une orientation angulaire différente des ailes 100 et 101.The invention is not limited to a finishing accessory having one or two angular positions for locking the wings 100 and 101 in rotation, but also extends to a finishing accessory having three or more angular positions for locking the wings in rotation. 100 and 101. Thus, in another variant, the finishing accessory could include three or more blocking pieces, at the rate of one blocking piece for each different angular orientation of the wings 100 and 101, or could include a piece of lock having three or more mounting directions, each mounting direction corresponding to a different angular orientation of the wings 100 and 101.

Le profilé de finition 10 qui a été décrit présente un plan central de symétrie, les deux ailes 100 et 101 étant identiques et symétriques l'une de l'autre par rapport à ce plan central de symétrie. L'invention n'est toutefois pas limitée à un profilé de finition symétrique, les deux ailes 100 et 101 pouvant être différentes et non symétriques l'une de l'autre.The finishing section 10 which has been described has a central plane of symmetry, the two wings 100 and 101 being identical and symmetrical to each other with respect to this central plane of symmetry. The invention is however not limited to a symmetrical finishing profile, the two wings 100 and 101 possibly being different and not symmetrical with each other.

Dans le profilé de finition 10 qui a été décrit la charnière flexible 102 est positionnée dans son intégralité entre les deux ailes 100 et 101. Dans une autre variante, elle pourrait être en partie seulement positionnée entre les deux ailes 100 et 101 et s'étendre latéralement de manière recouvrir au moins en partie l'une et/ou l'autre des deux ailes 100, 101.In the finishing profile 10 which has been described the flexible hinge 102 is positioned in its entirety between the two wings 100 and 101. In another variant, it could only be partly positioned between the two wings 100 and 101 and extend laterally so as to cover at least partly one and/or the other of the two wings 100, 101.

Dans les variantes de réalisation qui ont été décrites, les rebords longitudinaux 20b, 20c des pièces de blocage qui remplissent une fonction de butées latérales pour les saillies 100c, 100d constituent des moyens de blocage en rotation qui font partie intégrante de chaque pièce de blocage. Dans une autre variante de réalisation, ces moyens de blocage en rotation peuvent être distincts et séparés de la pièce de blocage. Par exemple, et de manière non limitative, ces moyens de blocage en rotation peuvent être constitués par un adhésif sous chaque aile 100 et 101 de manière à coller chaque aile 100 ou 101 sur la surface correspondante S1 ou S2.In the variant embodiments which have been described, the longitudinal edges 20b, 20c of the blocking pieces which fulfill the function of lateral stops for the projections 100c, 100d constitute rotation blocking means which form an integral part of each blocking piece. In another alternative embodiment, these rotation blocking means can be distinct and separated from the blocking piece. For example, and in a non-limiting way, these rotation blocking means can consist of an adhesive under each wing 100 and 101 so as to stick each wing 100 or 101 to the corresponding surface S1 or S2.

On a représenté sur les figures 17 à 19, une sixième variante de réalisation d'un accessoire de finition 1F comportant un profilé de finition 10' déformable qui peut être utilisé avec trois pièces de blocage différentes P1F, P2F et P3F.We represented on the figures 17 to 19 , a sixth alternative embodiment of a finishing accessory 1F comprising a deformable finishing profile 10' which can be used with three different locking pieces P1F, P2F and P3F.

Comme pour le profilé 10 précédemment décrit, ce profilé 10' comprend deux ailes rigides 100 et 101, de faible épaisseur et de même longueur, qui s'étendent en longueur parallèlement à l'axe longitudinal A, et qui sont reliées entre elles sur toute leur longueur par une charnière 102 de plus faible épaisseur que les ailes 100 et 101.As for the profile 10 previously described, this profile 10' comprises two rigid flanges 100 and 101, of small thickness and of the same length, which extend in length parallel to the longitudinal axis A, and which are connected to each other over the whole their length by a hinge 102 thinner than the wings 100 and 101.

Cette charnière 102 est dans son intégralité positionnée entre les deux ailes 100 et 101 et s'étend en longueur parallèlement audit axe longitudinal A.This hinge 102 is in its entirety positioned between the two wings 100 and 101 and extends in length parallel to said longitudinal axis A.

Cette charnière flexible 102 permet une rotation des deux ailes 100, 101 l'une par rapport à l'autre dans le plan (X, Y) perpendiculaire à l'axe longitudinal A, de préférence sans étirage ou compression de la charnière 102, et de ce fait sans modification des dimensions de la face supérieure de la charnière flexible 102.This flexible hinge 102 allows rotation of the two wings 100, 101 relative to each other in the plane (X, Y) perpendicular to the longitudinal axis A, preferably without stretching or compression of the hinge 102, and therefore without modifying the dimensions of the upper face of the flexible hinge 102.

Comme pour le profilé 10 précédemment décrit, l'aile 100 comporte sur sa face inférieure 100b une saillie longitudinale rigide 100c qui s'étend en longueur parallèlement audit axe longitudinal A. L'aile 101 comporte sur sa face inférieure 101b une saillie longitudinale rigide 101c qui s'étend en longueur parallèlement audit axe longitudinal A. La charnière flexible 102 et les deux saillies longitudinales 100c, 101c délimitent entre-elles une gorge longitudinale 103 qui s'étend en longueur parallèlement à l'axe longitudinal A.As for the profile 10 previously described, the wing 100 comprises on its lower face 100b a rigid longitudinal projection 100c which extends in length parallel to said longitudinal axis A. The wing 101 comprises on its lower face 101b a rigid longitudinal projection 101c which extends in length parallel to said longitudinal axis A. flexible hinge 102 and the two longitudinal projections 100c, 101c delimit between them a longitudinal groove 103 which extends in length parallel to the longitudinal axis A.

Toutes les considérations techniques décrites précédemment pour le profilé 10 s'appliquent également à ce profilé 10'.All the technical considerations described previously for the section 10 also apply to this section 10'.

Le profilé de finition 10' peut être utilisé avec trois pièces de blocage différentes P1F (figure 17), P2F (figure 18) et P3F (figure 19), chaque pièce de blocage P1F, P2F, P3F correspondant chacune à une orientation angulaire différente (angles A1, A2, A3) des deux ailes 100 et 101 l'une par rapport à l'autre.The 10' finishing profile can be used with three different P1F blocking pieces ( figure 17 ), P2F ( figure 18 ) and P3F ( figure 19 ), each blocking piece P1F, P2F, P3F each corresponding to a different angular orientation (angles A1, A2, A3) of the two wings 100 and 101 relative to each other.

De manière comparable aux autres variantes précédemment décrites d'accessoires de finition 1A à 1E, chaque pièce de blocage P1F, P2F, P3F comporte une cale de réglage 20a, qui s'étend en longueur, qui est apte à être insérée dans ladite gorge longitudinale 103. Une fois insérée dans ladite gorge longitudinale 103, la cale de réglage 20a fait office de butée empêchant le rapprochement des deux saillies 100c et 101c longitudinales l'une par rapport à l'autre de manière à bloquer en rotation vers l'intérieur les deux ailes 100, 101 l'une par rapport à l'autre dans le plan X,Y perpendiculaire à l'axe longitudinal A et dans les premiers sens de rotation R1a , R1b des faces inférieures 100b, 101b des ailes 100, 101 l'une vers l'autre, avec une orientation angulaire prédéfinie des deux ailes 100 101 l'une par rapport à l'autre.Comparably to the other previously described variants of finishing accessories 1A to 1E, each blocking piece P1F, P2F, P3F comprises an adjustment wedge 20a, which extends in length, which is able to be inserted into said longitudinal groove 103. Once inserted into said longitudinal groove 103, the adjustment wedge 20a acts as a stop preventing the approximation of the two longitudinal projections 100c and 101c relative to each other so as to block the inward rotation of the two wings 100, 101 relative to each other in the X,Y plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis A and in the first directions of rotation R1a, R1b of the lower faces 100b, 101b of the wings 100, 101 one towards the other, with a predefined angular orientation of the two wings 100 101 relative to each other.

Dans la variante des figures 17 à 19, chaque pièce de blocage P1F, P2F et P3F comporte également des butées latérales 20b et 20c de blocage en rotation, qui s'étendent en longueur de part et d'autre de la cale de réglage 20a en étant espacées de la cale de réglage 20a. Ces butées latérales 20b et 20c sont aptes à coopérer avec des saillies longitudinales 21 du profilé 10', de manière à empêcher l'écartement des deux saillies longitudinales 100c, 101c l'une par rapport à l'autre et à bloquer en rotation vers l'extérieur les deux ailes 100 ; 101 l'une par rapport à l'autre dans le plan X,Y perpendiculaire à l'axe longitudinal A et dans les sens de rotation R2a, R2b inverses aux premiers sens de rotation R1a, R1b.In the variant of figures 17 to 19 , each locking part P1F, P2F and P3F also comprises lateral stops 20b and 20c for locking in rotation, which extend in length on either side of the adjustment wedge 20a while being spaced from the adjustment wedge 20a . These lateral stops 20b and 20c are capable of cooperating with longitudinal projections 21 of the profile 10 ', so as to prevent the separation of the two longitudinal projections 100c, 101c relative to each other and to lock the two flanges 100 in rotation outwards; 101 relative to each other in the plane X, Y perpendicular to the longitudinal axis A and in the directions of rotation R2a, R2b opposite to the first directions of rotation R1a, R1b.

Dans les variantes des figures 17 et 18, chaque pièce de blocage P1F, et P2F est en outre apte à être emboîtée sur un rail de fixation 3', 3".In the variants of figures 17 and 18 , each blocking piece P1F, and P2F is further able to be fitted onto a 3′, 3″ fixing rail.

La pièce de blocage P1F peut être utilisée pour bloquer les ailes 100 et 101 du profilé de finition 10 avec une première orientation angulaire des ailes 100 et 101, dans laquelle les deux faces supérieures 100a, 101a des deux ailes 100 et 101 sont coplanaires et forment entre elles un angle externe A1 (figure 17) de 180°. Avec cette orientation angulaire particulière des ailes 100 et 101, le profilé de finition 10' peut servir de raccord entre deux surfaces S1 et S2 sensiblement coplanaires.The P1F blocking piece can be used to block the wings 100 and 101 of the finishing profile 10 with a first angular orientation of the wings 100 and 101, in which the two upper faces 100a, 101a of the two wings 100 and 101 are coplanar and form between them an external angle A1 ( figure 17 ) by 180°. With this particular angular orientation of the wings 100 and 101, the finishing profile 10' can serve as a connection between two substantially coplanar surfaces S1 and S2.

La pièce de blocage P2F peut être utilisée pour bloquer les ailes 100 et 101 du profilé de finition 10 avec une deuxième orientation angulaire des ailes 100 et 101, dans laquelle les deux faces supérieures 100a, 101a des deux ailes 100 et 101 forment entre elles un angle externe A2 (figure 18) compris entre 180° et 270°, et par exemple un angle A2 de l'ordre de 225°. Avec cette orientation angulaire particulière des ailes 100 et 101, le profilé de finition 10' peut servir de raccord entre deux surfaces S1 et S2 sensiblement parallèles, mais présentant un écart de niveau (figure 18).The P2F blocking piece can be used to block the wings 100 and 101 of the finishing profile 10 with a second angular orientation of the wings 100 and 101, in which the two upper faces 100a, 101a of the two wings 100 and 101 form between them a external corner A2 ( figure 18 ) between 180° and 270°, and for example an angle A2 of the order of 225°. With this particular angular orientation of the flanges 100 and 101, the finishing profile 10' can be used as a connection between two surfaces S1 and S2 that are substantially parallel, but have a difference in level ( figure 18 ).

La pièce de blocage P3F peut être utilisée pour bloquer les ailes 100 et 101 du profilé de finition 10 avec une troisième orientation angulaire des ailes 100 et 101, dans laquelle les deux faces supérieures 100a, 101a des deux ailes 100 et 101 forment entre elles un angle externe A3 (figure 19) de 270°. L'angle A3 correspond à l'angle externe entre les faces supérieures 100a et 101a des deux ailes 100 et 101, mesuré aux jonctions de la charnière 102 avec les ailes 100 et 101. Avec cette orientation angulaire particulière des ailes 100 et 101, le profilé de finition 10' peut servir de raccord, par exemple de type nez de marche, entre deux surfaces S1 et S2 qui sont sensiblement perpendiculaires l'une par rapport à l'autre (figure 19).The P3F blocking piece can be used to block the wings 100 and 101 of the finishing profile 10 with a third angular orientation of the wings 100 and 101, in which the two upper faces 100a, 101a of the two wings 100 and 101 form between them a external corner A3 ( figure 19 ) of 270°. The angle A3 corresponds to the external angle between the upper faces 100a and 101a of the two wings 100 and 101, measured at the junctions of the hinge 102 with the wings 100 and 101. With this particular angular orientation of the wings 100 and 101, the finishing profile 10' can be used as a connection, for example of the nosing type, between two surfaces S1 and S2 which are substantially perpendicular to each other ( figure 19 ).

L'accessoire de finition peut être utilisé comme raccord entre tout type de surfaces S1 et S2, et n'est pas limité au raccord de finition, de type barre de transition, entre deux revêtements de sol (RV1, RV2), ou entre un revêtement de sol (RV1) et le sol ou à un raccord de finition de type nez de marche. Par exemple, L'accessoire de finition peut être utilisé comme raccord de finition, de type cimaise, entre deux revêtements muraux, ou entre un revêtement mural et une paroi sur laquelle est fixé le revêtement mural.The finishing accessory can be used as a connection between any type of S1 and S2 surfaces, and is not limited to the finishing connection, of the transition bar type, between two floor coverings (RV1, RV2), or between a floor covering (RV1) and the floor or to a stair nosing type finishing connection. For example, the finishing accessory can be used as a finishing connection, of the picture rail type, between two wall coverings, or between a wall covering and a wall on which the wall covering is fixed.

Il est également avantageusement possible d'utiliser l'accessoire de finition de l'invention comme plinthe ou équivalent, en découpant en deux le profilé de finition 10 le long de la charnière 102 de manière à séparer les deux ailes 100 et 101 l'une de l'autre, chaque aile 100 et 101 pouvant ainsi être utilisée séparément comme raccord entre une paroi verticale P et un sol ou revêtement de sol ou entre une paroi verticale et un plafond.It is also advantageously possible to use the finishing accessory of the invention as a plinth or equivalent, by cutting the finishing profile 10 in two along the hinge 102 so as to separate the two wings 100 and 101 from one on the other, each wing 100 and 101 can thus be used separately as a connection between a vertical wall P and a floor or floor covering or between a vertical wall and a ceiling.

À titre d'exemple on a représenté sur la figure 20 une utilisation particulière de l'accessoire de finition 1F, une fois que la charnière flexible 102 du profilé de finition 1F a été découpée en deux sur toute sa longueur. Dans cette utilisation particulière une moitié du profilé de finition 1F est utilisée comme raccord d'arrêt entre une paroi verticale P et un revêtement de sol RV1. Plus particulièrement, on utilise une quatrième pièce de blocage P4F, qui est emboîtée dans un rail 3'" fixé sur la tranche du revêtement de sol RV1.By way of example, we have represented on the figure 20 a particular use of the 1F finishing accessory, once the flexible hinge 102 of the 1F finishing profile has been cut in two over its entire length. In this particular use, one half of the finishing profile 1F is used as a stop connection between a vertical wall P and a floor covering RV1. More specifically, a fourth blocking piece P4F is used, which is fitted into a 3'" rail fixed to the edge of the floor covering RV1.
