Definitions
- Modular connection devices are already known which allow the assembly of panels to form walls or partitions in the field of building, trade fairs, advertisements, etc.
- the present invention aims to remedy these drawbacks and proposes to create a modular connection device allowing the assembly of flexible sheets or panels, or semi-rigid or rigid panels to form partitions or walls whatever the dimension of the elements to be assembled, whatever the forms to be produced, whatever the materials used and this without tools and without specific qualification for the implementation of this connection device
- the device is characterized in that it consists of at least two pivoting hinges, integral with the panels to be assembled and provided with positioning perforations and with a locking connector composed of two parts cooperating with each of the pivoting hinges to block these hinges one against the other and thus fix two panels to be joined
- the modular connection device ensures good overall performance of the assembled panels as well as great homogeneity of the assembly, the latter being carried out in an adjusted manner with very high precision.
- the rapid assembly and disassembly of several panels or elements is done easily and quickly without the use of special tools, screws, rivets, or even complex learning of a specific and often complex technique.
- each hinge is composed of a part integral with the panel and of a movable and pivoting part along the longitudinal axis of the hinge, this movable part being provided with positioning perforations.
- the establishment of the hinges according to the invention allows precise positioning relative to each other of the panels to be assembled.
- the locking connector is composed of a male part provided with positioning pins and one or more locking keys and a female part provided with perforations receiving the positioning pins the male part and slots for the passage of the locking keys which, in the closed position, fix the male and female parts of the connector to each other and secure the panels together.
- the specific shape of the locking connector (20) determines the angular or curved assembly of two integral panels
- FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the male and female parts of the connector
- FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the mounting of the male part on the hinges of two panels to be assembled
- FIG 4 is a perspective view of the two parts of the locking connector during assembly on the hinges integral with the panels
- Figure 5 is a perspective view of the locking connector in the locked position securing the panels to be assembled
- FIG. 6a shows a right angle locking connector
- FIG. 6b shows a locking connector at an acute angle.
- FIG. 6d is a locking connector for assembling a curved shape
- Figure 6e is a locking connector allowing angular assembly at an obtuse angle different from that of Figure 6c
- FIG. 7 is an exemplary embodiment of panels mounted in a curved shape - Figure 7b shows the mounting of panels at right angles
- FIG. 8a is a front view of a panel provided with light means
- FIG. 8b is a detail view of Figure 8a showing a panel provided with light means
- each of the panels 1 and 2 is provided, on its lateral edges, respectively with the hinges (1 1, 12,) and (13, 14).
- Each of the hinges (11, 12) and (13, 14) are pivotable along their longitudinal axis.
- each hinge such as the hinge 11 consists of a part 15 intended to be secured to the panels 1 or 2 either by gluing or by fixing and of a movable part 16 provided, over its entire length, perforations 17 regularly distributed, these perforations having a precise predetermined diameter.
- the pairs of hinges (11, 12) and (13, 14) shown in FIGS. 1a, 1b and 1c are adaptable from the point of view of their dimensions on any type of panel or of elements to be connected, whether these panels are sheets or flexible panels or semi-rigid or rigid panels up to elements having a thickness which may be less than 1 min.
- the locking connector 20 is composed of a male part 21 and a female part 22.
- the male part 21 is provided, as shown in particular in detail, with positioning pins 23 and keys blocking 24.
- the female part 22, arranged in correspondence of the male part 21, is provided on its lateral edge 25, arranged in correspondence of the edge 26 of the male part 21, with perforations 27 arranged, in the assembled state of the connector, opposite the pins 23 and receiving these pins 23 for positioning the male part 21 relative to the female part 22.
- the female part 22 is further provided with slots 28 allowing the passage of the locking keys 24 of the male part, as this is explained in the following figures 3 to 5.
- the panels 1 and 2 are provided at their end with hinges 11 and 13, the two movable parts 16 and 16 'of which are placed opposite one another.
- the male part 21 of the connector, provided with the locking key 24 and provided with positioning pins 23 and the locking key 24, is placed opposite the perforations 17 and 17 ′ of the movable parts 16 and 16 ′ of the hinges 11 and 13.
- the locking connector 20 is shown in the desired assembly position of the two panels 1 and 2, the female parts 21 and 22 being secured to one another by means of the locking key 24 locked in the slot 28 of the female part 22
- the panels 1 and 2 are assembled by the positioning on the one hand of the lugs not shown 23 in the perforations 17, 17 'of the panels 1, 2 and on the other hand with the perforations 27 of the female part 22
- 40, 50, 60 and 70 are produced in various shapes allowing angular, curved or circular assemblies of two or more panels
- the locking connectors 30, 40, 50, 60 and 70 allow types of assembly of elements as diverse as mobile surfaces, decorated or not, translucent, transparent or opaque, mountable or dismountable without specific tools or qualifications and easily transportable , since in the case of flexible panels, these structures are rollable and very light.
- the locking connector also allows two or more flexible or rigid parts to be assembled by a very precise rigid plane adjustment.
- the connection device comprising the locking connector shown in Figures 6 above indicated, is capable of being used in all fields requiring the joining together of several elements such as a roof, a building, offices , an advertisement at a point of sale, in the field of trade fairs, the mechanical industry, the industrial assembly of parts and all types of constructions, toys, etc.
- the modular connection device allows the assembly of flexible, semi-rigid or rigid elements by an unqualified user, while making perfect alignment in the vertical or horizontal plane perfectly possible without welding, screwing, riveting or other techniques
- the modular connection device allows assemblies respectively 80, 81, 82, 83 having curved, angular shapes such as constructions at right angles, circular and triangular II also allows to combine several types of assemblies in order to produce assemblies of various shapes. It also makes it possible to bring together two sets of panels as shown in Figures 7b and 7d thus constituting a double wall. In this double hollow wall, it is possible to integrate light means.
- the locking connectors (30, 40, 50, 60, and 70) can be replaced by at least one U-shaped element, this element enclosing and trapping the lower part of the panel or possibly using another element also the upper part of the panel.
- These two elements can be shaped into straight, curved, angular or other shapes so as to configure the panel thus obtained in an identical manner.
- the panel (85) is provided with light means (91).
- These light means can consist of a flexible light tube integrated and glued between two panels (85).
- the panel (85) seen in detail is provided with light means such as flexible light tubes (91) fixed on a flexible bottom (90) constituted for example by two sheets of plastic material each forming a panel.
- these plastic sheets are, according to a preferred embodiment, semi-transparent and white allowing the diffusion of light.
- the light means (91) can be constituted by micro-lamps arranged every centimeter and embedded in a flexible PVC sheath. These lamps are supplied in the form of flexible strips at 12, 24, 110 or 220 volts. These flexible strips can reach lengths of several meters.
- These strips of light means being flexible and capable of being glued to the internal faces of two assembled panels can be arranged so as to form inscriptions, decorative patterns or any other forms of various decorations.
- the light means are arranged on the front face of the panel. They can be made up of light-emitting diodes. These light means can be associated or provided with a timer so as to be able to animate a text or a pattern sequentially.
