Abstract

The support (2) which is notched all along it, like a comb, is fixed to a shelf by fixing pads (9) on feet under its lower part. Its upper part is a rod (3) which guides a hook on the bookend that slides along it. The lower rod (4) of the support holds the books without damaging them. The support can have fixing pads on its lower rod or it can have hooks which fit round the back of the shelf. The bookend has a vertical part which engages in the support to hold it in position.

Description

SEPARATEURS NIOBILES SUR SUPPORT
DESCRIPTION
La présente invention concerne le domaine des accessoires de bibliothèque, et consiste en un système de serre-livres par séparateurs mobiles sur un support.
NIOBILES SEPARATORS ON SUPPORT
DESCRIPTION
The present invention relates to the field of library accessories, and consists of a system of bookends by mobile dividers on a support.

Description des systèmes actuels, excluant les serre-livres fixes:
Dossiers suspendus:
Extensibles en largeur mais de capacité limitée, et dont la vocation essentielle est d'accueillir des dossiers et de les garder protégés dans un chariot ou un meuble fermé. Par leur nature, ces dossiers ne sont pas adaptés au rangement des livres.
Description of current systems, excluding fixed bookends:
Suspended files:
Expandable in width but of limited capacity, and whose essential vocation is to accommodate files and keep them protected in a cart or closed cabinet. By their nature, these files are not suitable for storing books.

Séparateurs sur support cranté:
Ce système est utilisé dans une armoire métallique pour les bandes magnétiques.Deux supports parallèles sont fixées à plat sur l'étagère, (une au fond et une en avant). Les serrelivres sont des tiges d'acier en demi-cercle, dont les extrémités se fichent dans des trous pratiqués sur les supports, et perpendiculairement à celles-ci.
Separators on notched support:
This system is used in a metal cabinet for magnetic tapes. Two parallel supports are fixed flat on the shelf, (one at the bottom and one in front). Book clamps are semicircular steel rods, the ends of which are inserted into holes made on the supports, and perpendicular to them.

La manipulation des serre-livres est particulièrement malaisée en usage courant. Le diamètre des trous pratiqués sur les supports est exactement adapté à celui des extrémité du serre-livre, obligeant à "bien viser", pour ficher le serre-livre. L'ensemble du système est visuellement peu discret, et pas du tout adapté aux livres.Handling bookends is particularly difficult in everyday use. The diameter of the holes made on the supports is exactly adapted to that of the ends of the bookend, requiring "to aim well", to file the bookend. The whole system is visually inconspicuous, and not at all suitable for books.

Séparations déplacables:
I1 s'agit de plaques de bois enfichables dans des rainures pratiquées sur le dessus et sur le dessous des étagères. La manipulation de ces plaques est également malaisée: il faut encastrer la plaque dans l'une et l'autre rainure (en haut et en bas), et le frottement altère à la fois la rainure et la plaque. Par ailleurs les rainures sont nécessairement visibles et nuisent à l'esthétique générale du meuble.
Movable partitions:
These are wooden plates which can be plugged into grooves on the top and bottom of the shelves. The handling of these plates is also difficult: it is necessary to embed the plate in one and the other groove (at the top and at the bottom), and the friction alters both the groove and the plate. Furthermore, the grooves are necessarily visible and detract from the general aesthetics of the furniture.

Serre-livres indépendants:
n stagit d'un serre-livre en acier profilé, qui enserre étagère par l'arrière. Indépendant, il peut être placé à une endroit quelconque d'une étagère. Il ne peut pas etre déplacé facilement (le serrage fait que son déplacement sur l'étagère endommage celle-ci à la longue), et n'offre pas une résistance suffisante à la poussée latérale des livres qu'il est censé retenir.
Independent bookends:
n stagit of a profiled steel bookend, which encloses the shelf from the rear. Freestanding, it can be placed anywhere on a shelf. It cannot be moved easily (tightening means that its movement on the shelf damages it in the long run), and does not offer sufficient resistance to the lateral thrust of the books it is supposed to hold.

En résumé, les systèmes existants sont peu pratiques, ou peu fiables, ou défigurent le meuble qui les accueille.  In summary, existing systems are impractical or unreliable, or disfigure the furniture that houses them.

La présente invention est un système de serre-livres qui évite les inconvénients cités:
Elle est constituée d'un support cranté en "peigne" dont la partie inférieure se fixe sur une étagère et dont la partie supérieure reçoit des serre-livres, ledits serre-livres étant constitués d'un élément d'appui pour les livres, et d'une partie s'adaptant sur le support dans le sens transversal des étagères et coulissant sur ledit support dans le sens longitudinal des étagères.
The present invention is a bookend system which avoids the disadvantages mentioned:
It consists of a notched "comb" support, the lower part of which is fixed to a shelf and the upper part of which receives bookends, the said bookends being made up of a support element for books, and of a part adapting to the support in the transverse direction of the shelves and sliding on said support in the longitudinal direction of the shelves.

La description qui suit est aidée par le schéma d'un modèle servant d'exemple, et non limitatif dans son aspect. The following description is helped by the diagram of a model serving as an example, and not limiting in its appearance.

Le système de serre-livres est caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte deux types d'éléments distincts et complémentaires: des serre-livres et un support pour ces serre-livres. The bookend system is characterized in that it comprises two types of distinct and complementary elements: bookends and a support for these bookends.

Le support est caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte: - des crans 2 en "peigne" sur toute la longueur du support, permettant un positionnement aléatoire des serre-livres qu'il maintient contre le déplacement latéral des livres, - une tige 3 servant de guide au coulissage des serre-livres, - une tige 4 servant de butée pour les livres, de façon à ce que ceux-ci ne s'abîment pas contre le support, - un dispositif de fixation sur l'étagère 8, dépendant du type d'étagère: soit des pattes de fixation 9 sur l'étagère, soit un dispositif de fixation 10 des tiges 3 et 4 sur les parois latérales, soit des adaptateurs 1 enserrant l'arrière de l'étagère 8, si ladite étagère peut être dissociée du meuble pour le montage. The support is characterized in that it comprises: - notches 2 in "comb" over the entire length of the support, allowing a random positioning of the bookends which it maintains against the lateral displacement of the books, - a rod 3 serving guide to the sliding of the bookends, - a rod 4 serving as a stop for the books, so that they do not damage against the support, - a fixing device on the shelf 8, depending on the type of shelf: either fixing lugs 9 on the shelf, or a device 10 for fixing rods 3 and 4 to the side walls, or adapters 1 enclosing the rear of the shelf 8, if said shelf can be separated from the cabinet for mounting.

Les serre-livres sont caractérisés en ce qu'ils comportent: - un crochet 5 qui se pose sur le support 3, réalisant ainsi le blocage du serre-livre en coopération avec la partie 6, ou coulisse le long du support, - une partie 6 s'adaptant dans les crans du support 2, réalisant ainsi le blocage du serrelivre en coopération avec le crochet 5 décrit précédemment, de façon à ce qu'il reste fixe quelles que soit les forces exercées par les livres.The bookends are characterized in that they comprise: - a hook 5 which is posed on the support 3, thus realizing the blocking of the bookend in cooperation with the part 6, or slides along the support, - a part 6 fitting into the notches of the support 2, thus achieving the locking of the book clamp in cooperation with the hook 5 described above, so that it remains fixed whatever the forces exerted by the books.

- un support 7 sur lequel les livres sont appuyés.- A support 7 on which the books are supported.

Fonctionnellement, ce système est caractérisé en ce qu'il procure les résultats suivants: - les livres sont maintenus en position verticale, - les serre-livres peuvent aisément être engagés,désengagés ou coulissés le long de leur support, - le support peut se fixer sur une étagère par des adaptateurs capables d'enserrer fermement l'étagère grâce à l'élasticité du matériau employé, permettant ainsi de n'utiliser qu'un seul modèle d'adaptateur indépendamment de l'épaisseur de l'étagère, et de ne recourir à aucun système de fixation qui altérerait l'étagère ou le meuble - le montage ou le démontage de l'ensemble du système est simple, rapide, et ne nécessite pas d'outillage, hormis le dimensionnage du support à la longueur de l'étagère. Functionally, this system is characterized in that it provides the following results: - the books are kept in vertical position, - the bookends can easily be engaged, disengaged or slid along their support, - the support can be fixed on a shelf by adapters capable of firmly enclosing the shelf thanks to the elasticity of the material used, thus making it possible to use only one model of adapter regardless of the thickness of the shelf, and not use no fixing system that would alter the shelf or the furniture - the assembly or disassembly of the whole system is simple, quick, and does not require any tools, except for the dimensioning of the support to the length of the shelf.

Du moment qu'il répond à la description ci-dessus, le système peut se présenter sous différentes formes, améliorant l'esthétique du système ou assurant un meilleur confort d'utilisation.  As long as it meets the above description, the system can be in different forms, improving the aesthetics of the system or ensuring better comfort of use.
