Abstract

Separation set with suspended and removable sliding panels characterized by an upper structure (2) with sliding supporting frames (6, 7) each carrying a hook-and-lock panel (1) movable along the upper structure (2) by the 'Intermediate sliding carrier frames (6, 7). This invention is of interest to manufacturers of removable panels and partitions.

Description

The invention relates to a separation assembly forming a wall

mobile modular by

  removable sliding and hanging panels.

  In technical or industrial buildings and in production workshops, it is often necessary to isolate or separate part of the

surrounding space building.

  For example, part of the operations carried out generate noise, heat or dust, which one does not wish to diffuse or spread throughout the entire workspace. Or else, a step in an industrial process requires special protection conditions: filling of bottles or cans in an agro-food production chain, or application of a treatment

using a hazardous product.

  It is useful if not essential to interpose an appropriate and effective insulation wall. The walls used to divide the space or isolate part of it must first of all be easily removable and displaceable. Indeed, the industrial imperatives of variation in methods, volume and nature of productions often require rearrangements of production chains. or some

treatment facilities.

  It is thus useful to be able to extend or move a partition wall, enlarge or modify

  traffic lanes and routes.

  In addition, these walls are subject to general-

  quantity of aggressions, in particular by projections of splinters or corrosive products, or by repeated shocks of boxes, carts or

handling vehicles.

  It would therefore be desirable that they easily lend themselves to repair or

  replacement of damaged parts.

  Finally, the cleaning of these walls must be able to be carried out easily. To this end, it is desirable that the external surfaces be made, from manufacture, simple and smooth, with no recesses, hollow or roughness difficult to access.

  cleaning instruments or products.

  The object of the invention is to meet these needs by a separation assembly with a modular wall formed of movable sliding panels, suspended from

  removable way allowing them to be interchanged.

  The advantages of the separation set

according to the invention are multiple.

  The wall can be easily moved, enlarged or adapted thanks to the removable nature and

modular panels.

  The upper support and guiding structure of the panels ensures good stability and sliding precision and an optimal sealing of

all the panels.

  Replacement, removal or addition of a

panel are extremely easy.

  The specific principle of construction of the panels facilitates the replacement of only part of the constituent elements, for example a

window.

  In addition, the panels have a smooth exterior surface eliminating possible sites

  bacterial buildup or stains.

  In addition, the numerous fields of application

  cation further increase its interest These include the following areas of application: removable partition wall in a workshop or office; lateral insulating surface of a cabin or enclosure; access door to a technical room; removable wall partition in a building;

loading dock door.

  The technical characteristics and other advantages of the invention are set out in the

  description which follows, given by way of example not

  The separation assembly according to the invention generally consists of panels such as 1, of a door or of a glazed or dark wall of the type suspended from elements of an upper structure 2 This upper structure comprises a fixed frame formed by two fixed support frames 3 and 4 arranged facing each other, and delimiting an interior space 5 On the support frames of the frame, are mounted two sliding support frames 6 and 7 moving in the interior space 5, on each of which is suspended so

removable panel 1.

  Each sliding carrying frame 6 and 7 consists of a carrying frame 8 or 9 formed by two end crossmembers such as 10 and 11, and by two side members, one lower such as 12, and the other upper such that 13 more particularly visible on

Figure 2.

  Each sliding supporting frame 6 or 7 is mounted to be displaceable along an upper supporting profile, for example along an upper supporting rail 14 or 15 with an almost completely closed section forming a monorail Each of these rails is secured to a supporting spacer 16 bringing together the two fixed support frames opposite 3 and 4 constituting the framework

of the upper structure.

  To this end, the upper beams 13 of each of the sliding carrying frames have, in the vicinity of each of their ends, a suspension-rolling means formed for example each of a vertical rod 17 and 18, these rods being suitably

  spaced from each other along the length of the spar.

  These rods each carry at their upper end a roller 19 and 20 adapted in shape and dimensions to the corresponding upper rail, so as to slide the

along it without excessive play.

  For reasons of stability, each sliding supporting frame is guided laterally by a transverse movable stop carried by a horizontal lateral axis 21, 22 terminated by a roller 23, 24 capable of coming to move by rolling in a lateral guide rail 25, 26 with an almost completely closed section similar to each of the upper support rails Each of the guide rails is secured to an angle 27,28 fixed itself to one of the side members of each of the support frames 3,4 of the framework Each support frame 6,7 is slidably suspended and moves along the upper support rails under the effect of a manual push or generated by a means

motor, for example electric.

  Each supporting frame 6.7 has two lower parts, secured to its lower spar 12, two

  hooking devices 29.30 receiving hooking-

  blocking the ends of vertical attachment structures 31, 32 secured to the constituent panel

  set of suspension-hooking means.

  These hooking devices 29.30 are arranged for example at each of the ends of the lower spar 12 of each of the supporting frames

sliding.

  They have a base in the form of a rectilinear mechanical block 33, the upper part of which is shaped according to a receiving groove 34 with a profile, for example in "V" shape with a flat bottom. This groove 34 has a transverse entry cutout 35 in the middle part. acting as an entrance opening for the structure

  corresponding vertical attachment of the panels.

  The base is kept at a distance from the lower spar 12 because it is mechanically connected for example by four flat bars such as 36 delimiting an entry window 37 for the end of each of the structures

  vertical attachment of the panels.

  A locking screw 38, or any other similar means, passes through the lower spar 12 to press on the upper end of each of the vertical structures for attaching the panels and block it vertically. The panels are hung by their upper end crosspiece 39 on the upper edge of each of which are fixed the vertical attachment structures 31, 32 of the panels. This is for example a pair of rectilinear elements each presenting itself under the shape of a rod 40,41 terminated by a recessed head 42,43 coming to lock in each of the receiving grooves 34 of the base of each hooking device 29,30 Each of the rectilinear elements 40,41 is fixed so perpendicular to the upper edge 44 of the upper end cross-member 39 at each of its ends Of course, the shape of each recessed head 42,43 corresponds to that of the profile of the receiving groove 34 in order to allow a snap-on attachment , that is to say a suspension with immobilization. We will now examine more particularly

  the panel with reference to Figures 6 to 14.

  In order to be able to provide a guarantee of cleanliness, and more particularly to fulfill all the hygienic and sanitary conditions specific to certain areas, for example in the food sector, each door panel has a perfectly smooth surface, completely free of roughness and elements. projections likely to constitute points or areas of attachment or retention for dust and dirt and other particles in suspension in the surrounding atmosphere and constitute

  microbial nests or micro- development

unwanted organisms.

  Each panel is formed from a frame 45 in profiles such as 46 formed by the lateral union of two elementary profiles such as 47 and 48 of which two examples of shapes are shown on the

figures from 11 to 14.

  These profiles are used to make the uprights 49 and the crosspieces 50 including the crosspiece

upper end 39.

  In the case of a panel with a glazed surface, these sections 46 are used to completely form a

  frame 51 which maintains a glass plane 52.

  These profiles 46, by their shape, allow to remove all the roughness and

  ledges linked to the presence of fences.

  They themselves form fences by two symmetrical inclined connection planes 53 and

  54 on either side of the window pane or glass surface 52.

  This feature ensures ease and

  unequaled cleaning efficiency.

  More particularly, as it appears in the figures, a glass door panel presents the

following constitution.

  It is formed of the frame 45 internally reinforced by a tubular metallic core 55 The frame is formed integrally from the sections 46 above, namely two uprights 49 sectioned laterally secured to two crosspieces 50 including the upper end crosspiece 39 which is made removable. Various examples of this type of profiles are

  shown in Figures 11 to 14.

  The profiles 46 of the frame have no covering or covering, that is to say that their surface

  exterior is the one forming the panel.

  Furthermore, as already indicated, their end forms have on either side an inclined plane of connection 53 or 54 with the glazed surface 52 recessed, connected by a groove 56 receiving the edges of the glass plane 52 , replacing the traditional immobilization with

rebate and fences.

  The lateral union 57 of the lateral junction edges of the elementary profiles forms on the opposite edge an external projecting edge 58 perpendicular or parallel thereto This edge is provided with a bead 59 in contact with a seal 60 for the waterproof junction

of the two panels.

  There is thus a seal 61 for crossing sliding panels (FIG. 14) and another seal 62 for sliding panels with

coplanar junction (Figure 12).

  The particular constitution of the door panel allows the mounting of the glass plane 52 of the glazed surface by a simple introduction from above and a sliding downwards (FIG. 7) It also allows the closing of the frame and therefore of the panel by mounting of the upper crosspiece as we

will see it below.

  The upper end crosspiece 39

  has the same section shape as the uprights.

  Its ends 63 and 64 are cut from tabs like the ends of the uprights 49 for

  make a neat and smooth corner assembly.

  An example of this type of assembly is

shown in figure 8.

  The upper end cross-member 39 has an internal stiffening profile 65 comprising, at each of its ends, a centering stud 66 projecting from fitting into

  the end of the internal profile of the upright.

  This interlocking is limited in depth by a stopper 67 immobilized at the appropriate height, for example by welding in the tubular core of the adjacent upright. The stopper 67, the centering stud 66 and the profile of the upper cross member form a passage 68 for an assembly element 69, for example a screw with a threaded end For this purpose, the passage of the

stopper is threaded.

  Of course, these means can be replaced by an inner square piece.

  suitably adjusted or any other equivalent means.

  The assembly is carried out as follows.

  The cross member 39 being removed, the window 52 is slid from above into the frame. After the glass has been inserted, the upper end cross member 39 is placed at the end of the panel and it is

secured to the uprights.

  To this end, the nesting of the studs

  centering 66 and the vertical stop brought by the cap-

  stop 67 greatly facilitate the assembly work.

  It is then enough to secure the assembly using

screw 69.

  It is understood that beyond the means described, various obvious modifications and variants

  simple fall within the scope of the present invention.
