Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a modular system for producing garden borders and, in particular, borders for soil and floral embankments. The invention will also find for application a method for delimiting the layout of an alley, the making of a "kitchen square", or the separation of two areas of the garden, for example, by separating a massif from a lawn . TECHNOLOGICAL BACKGROUND Traditionally planted along alleys, flower beds, lawns or vegetable plots, garden borders help retain soil, separate crop areas, and prevent turf from invading flower beds. . The borders of garden have a role at the same time practical and esthetic, allowing not only to delimit the layout of an alley but also to create spaces with various and varied forms. Garden borders have long been, and still today, made of robust materials, rigid, able to withstand external conditions (inclement weather, etc.). Nevertheless, these borders, often formed of metal or concrete modules, have the disadvantage of being massive, bulky, not very flexible and expensive because of the materials used. Lighter borders have thus emerged to meet a growing demand for reduced footprint and cost.

These borders made of lighter materials have the advantage of being easier to manipulate, favoring the production of borders with various shapes. However, these borders require anchoring in the ground in order to achieve shapes which may require a relatively long installation time. Indeed, these borders before being anchored in the ground, consist of modules disassociated from each other. Thus and in order to achieve a border comprising a plurality of modules, the latter must be fixed to the ground one after the other so that they can be held one after the other and thus achieve a shape and / or angular position between modules.

There is therefore the need to provide a modular system that allows to create various forms of borders and facilitate their implementation, while having a limited cost and space.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION To this end, the present invention makes it possible to solve all or at least some of the drawbacks of known solutions by proposing a modular system capable of locking angular positions between several modules, and thus be able to present various shapes. edge without necessarily using ground fasteners to maintain the position of the modules relative to each other. More specifically, the invention relates to a modular system for producing a garden edge, comprising at least two modules, each module comprising a panel extending mainly in a longitudinal direction and connecting means, each connecting means of a module being configured to cooperate with a complementary connection means carried by another module adjacent thereto so as to ensure the joining of the two adjacent modules. The connecting means comprise locking means configured to enable the relative angular position of two adjacent modules to be locked in a selected one of a plurality of permitted relative angular positions. Thus, the invention makes it possible to choose a rotational locking position among a plurality of rotational locking positions. We can therefore easily define various forms. In addition, the modular system of the invention is relatively simple to use, inexpensive and compact. According to preferred but nonlimiting variants of the invention, the modular system is such that it further comprises at least one of the features and optional steps indicated below.

The modular system comprises connecting means which are configured to be traversed by a ground fastener. The modular system is configured so that the female connecting means comprises a cylindrical member with grooves and / or abutments on an inner wall and extending along the axis of the cylindrical member, the cylindrical member in operation. extending in the vertical direction. The modular system is configured so that the male connection means comprises a cylindrical element with grooves and / or abutments on an outer wall and which extend along the axis of the cylindrical element, the inner wall of the tube being smooth so as to allow the passage of a fastener to the ground. The modular system is configured so that the width of each groove of a female connection means of a first module is between 1 and 1.3 times the width of each stop of a male connection means of a second module so that a stop of a male connection means of said first module is adapted to be inserted into a groove of a female connection means of said second module. This characteristic also makes it possible to limit the game in rotation between the two adjacent modules.

The modular system is configured so that the panel of at least one module fits in a plane when it is resting and is able to take a multitude of curvatures when a bending force is applied to it. Thus, the panel extends in a main longitudinal direction when no significant stress of deformation is applied to it. On the other hand, when a deformation stress is applied to it, for example in flexion, the panel curves and forms an arc of a circle. More specifically, the panel is adapted to take a multitude of curvatures in a second state when the two longitudinal ends of the panel are close together and bending is submitted to the module.

FIG. 4 illustrates the step of assembling at least a first module 1a and a second module 1b so as to preserve a determined angular position between said first module 1a and said second module 1b. The step of assembling at least a first module 1a and a second module 1b comprises a step of inserting a male connection means 20 of a first module 1a in a female connection means 10 of a second module 1 b. According to a preferred embodiment, the stop number (s) 30 of the male connection means 20 is at least equal to the number of grooves (s) 35 of the female connection means 10. The width of each groove 35 of a means female connection 10 of the first module la is between 1 and 1.3 times the width of each stop 30 of the male connection means 20 of the second module 1b so that a stop 30 of the male connection means 20 of said first module 1a is adapted to be inserted into a groove 35 of the female connection means 10 of said second module 1b.

Moreover, they are dimensioned so as to reduce their radial clearance, that is to say their relative displacement in a radial direction to the insertion axis, while allowing easy insertion. Thus, when the male link is inserted in the female link, the radial clearance is substantially eliminated or is reliable, and the game in rotation is zero or less than 5 degrees. According to the embodiment illustrated in the figures, the insertion axis is advantageously vertical when the modules 1a, 1b are arranged on the ground. This makes it easier to assemble the modules 1 a, 1 b.

FIG. 5 illustrates a modular system, at the end of the step of assembling a first module 1a and a second module 1b, making it possible to preserve a determined angular position between said first module 1a and said second module module 1 b. In this embodiment, the first part of the outer wall, of the male connection means 20 located at one longitudinal end of the panel 5 of the second module 1b, comprising at least one stop 30, is completely inserted into the female connection means. 10 of the first module 1a.

At the end of the insertion of the male connection means 20 of the first module 1a into the female connection means 10 of the second module 1b, the first module 1a and the second module 1b are locked in a determined locking position . There is no longer any possible movement of the first module 1a relative to the second module 1b. Particularly advantageously, the presence of grooves 35 and abutments 30 on the connecting means 10, 20 makes it possible to lock at least one position according to a notching system which blocks the movement of the modules 1a, 1b relative to each other . In order to change the angular position between a first module 1a and a second module 1b after insertion of the male connection means 20 of the first module 1a into the female connection means 10 of the second module 1b, it is necessary to perform a step of removing the male connection means 20 of the first module 1a out of the female connection means 10 of the second module 1b. The first module 1a and the second module 1b will then be disconnected again, it will then suffice to repeat the insertion step of the male connection means 20 of the first module 1a in the female connection means 10 of the second module 1b according to the new angular position chosen. In the case where the male connection means 20 of the first module comprises eight stops 30, then the first module 1a and the second module 1b form up to eight angular positions. Advantageously, the number of stops 30 represents the number of possible angular positions between two modules 1a, 1b. The number of stops 30 represents the number of blocking positions between two modules 1a, 1b. Preferably, the stops 30 are evenly distributed in order to allow a maximum of choice of angulation.

In this embodiment where the male connection means 20 comprises eight stops 30, then the first module 1a and the second module 1b form angular positions whose angles formed are multiples of 45 degrees: 45 °, 90 ° , 135 °, 180 °, 225 °, 270 ° and 315 °.

At the end of the step of assembling at least a first module 1a and a second module 1b, it follows a step of setting up the modular system illustrated by FIG. 6. The method comprises in particular the embodiment of various shapes, from modules 1a, 1b, 1c, 1d assembled, Figure 6 illustrates an embodiment of a modular system comprising four modules 1a, 1b, 1c, 1d. Three modules 1a, 1b, 1c are previously assembled. For this, a male connection means 20 of a first module 1b has been inserted in a female connection means 10 of a second module 1a. The female connection means 10 of the first module 1b, for its part, cooperates with the male connection means 20 of a third module 1c. The male connection means of the second module 1a and the female connection means 10 of the third module 1c are not yet assembled. It is important to note that, in a particularly advantageous manner, the modular system comprising the three assembled modules 1a, 1b and 1c is able to maintain the angular positions defined between the first module 1b and the second module 1a, and between the second module 1a and the third module lc, without the need to anchor the modules 1a, 1b and 1c in the ground. The next step will be to assemble the fourth module 1 d to the other three modules 1 a, 1 b and 1c in order to create a modular system in the form of a square. For this, the male connection means 20 of the second module 1a will be inserted into the female connection means 10 of the fourth module 1d. The male connection means 20 of the fourth module 1 d will, for its part, be able to cooperate with the female connection means 10 of the third module 1 d.

In order to form a square, the angular positions between each module 1a, 1b, 1c and 1d will be chosen to be equal to a 90 degree angle. FIG. 7 illustrates an exemplary embodiment in which the modular system forms a circle from four modules 1a, 1b, 1c, 1d. A first module 1a is assembled to a second module 1b so that the two modules 1a and 1b are inscribed in the same rectilinear plane at rest; the angular position chosen between these two modules 1a, lb being then 180 degrees. The second module 1b is then assembled to the third module 1c and the third module 1c is assembled to the fourth module 1d; the modules 1a, 1b, 1c, 1d being assembled to each other in the same angular position locked at 180 °. In order to secure the free ends of the first module 1a and the fourth module 1d, a bending force is formed on each module 1a, 1b, 1c, 1d. The bending force makes it possible to bend the modules 1a, 1b, 1c, 1d so that they take a circular shape. The modules 1 a, 1 b, 1 c, 1 d then form a closed contour, they remain in flexion to define a circle. The circular shape of the modular system then produced is maintained even in the absence of anchoring to the ground.

A plurality of shapes is possible thanks in particular to the notching system of the connecting means 10, 20 and to the flexibility of the modules 1a, 1b, 1c, 1d.

The method according to the present invention may comprise a step of anchoring the modular system in the soil so that it presents, particularly advantageously, a better stability and resistance to external stresses (wind gusts, for example). Preferably, at least one module 1a of the modular system can be at least partially buried in the ground. In this case, a border of the panel 5 perpendicular to the longitudinal ends and extending horizontally is in contact with the ground. According to a particularly advantageous embodiment, the modular system is maintained on the ground by means of at least one ground fixing element. The ground fastening element is preferably attached to the longitudinal ends of a module 1a, 1b, 1c, 1d, through the connecting means 10, 20. Particularly advantageously, the means for 10, 20 are configured to be traversed by a fixing element on the ground. The ground fastener is preferably an elongated member. In use, the ground fastener extends and traverses the ground along a vertical axis. Particularly advantageously, the ground fastening element has a diameter strictly smaller than the diameter of the cylindrical element of the inner wall of the male connection means 20. The ground fastening element is preferably formed into a material selected from steel, wood, plastic. The ground fastener may be a pile. According to a preferred embodiment, at least one ground fixing element is a solar torch. The fixing element on the ground is mandatory to maintain an open profile forming curves (at least one curve) that is to say have at least one flexural panel. Advantageously, the flexibility of each module 1a, 1b, 1c, 1d makes it possible to generate curves of a module 1a, 1b, 1c, 1d to another, or even circles. These curves can then be fixed thanks to the ground fasteners.

The present invention proposes, in a particularly advantageous manner, a simple but reliable modular system, easy to use, inexpensive, and allowing several angular positions between two successive modules, thanks to the male / female connection means 10, 20 able to cooperate.

As a preference, these connecting means 10, 20 make it possible in particular to maintain a locking position between two modules 1a, 1b without the need to anchor the modular system in the ground. The present invention is not limited to the embodiments previously described but extends to any embodiment covered by the claims.
