Description

Armature pliable de support de hamac. Foldable hammock support frame.
L'invention se rapporte à une armature pliable de support de hamac . Généralement la mise en place d'un hamac consiste à le tendre entre deux arbres ou deux points d'accrochage au moyen de cordes ou autres dispositifs de fixation et de stabilisation. Mais dans les endroits où ces points d'accrochage n'existent pas, par exemple sur une pelouse, une plage, une terrasse ou dans un appartement, il est impossible d'utiliser tel que le hamac sans disposer d'une armature de soutien appropriée .The invention relates to a foldable hammock support frame. Generally the installation of a hammock consists in stretching it between two trees or two points of attachment by means of ropes or other devices of fixing and stabilization. But in places where these attachment points do not exist, for example on a lawn, beach, terrace or in an apartment, it is impossible to use such as the hammock without having an appropriate support frame .
On connaît des armatures indépendantes réalisées en une pièce ou à partir de plusieurs éléments assemblés, qui permettent de placer le hamac n'importe où. Mais ces armatures encombrantes sont difficilement stockables et leur rangement pose problème.We know independent frames made in one piece or from several assembled elements, which allow to place the hammock anywhere. But these bulky frames are difficult to store and their storage poses a problem.
Pour palier à cet inconvénient on connaît la solution qui consiste à réaliser à l'aide d'éléments solidaires articulés entre eux, une armature repliable dont le transport et la mise en oeuvre sont beaucoup plus faciles. Pour cela on connaît des réalisations formées d'une barre horizontale constituant un longeron de base, portant à chacune de ses extrémités une colonne de soutien, les deux colonnes formant avec le longeron un V très ouvert. Les colonnes ainsi que le longeron sont chacun formés deux parties repliables l'une sur l'autre. En outre les colonnes, de même que des pieds d'appui latéraux sont articulés sur le longeron. L'ensemble de l'armature peut donc être repliée et n'occupe ainsi qu'un faible volume, ce qui facilite sa manutention. Dans d'autres réalisations connues, il y a deux longerons de base parallèles et par conséquent quatre colonnes de soutien, dont les deux de chaque extrémité se rejoignent pour former un point d'accrochage du hamac. Tous ces éléments sont également repliables comme dans le cas précédent .To overcome this drawback, the solution is known which consists in producing, with the aid of integral elements hinged together, a folding frame, the transport and implementation of which are much easier. For this, there are known embodiments formed of a horizontal bar constituting a base spar, carrying at each of its ends a support column, the two columns forming with the spar a very open V. The columns and the spar are each formed two foldable parts one on the other. In addition, the columns, as well as lateral support legs are articulated on the spar. The entire frame can therefore be folded up and thus occupies only a small volume, which facilitates its handling. In other known embodiments, there are two parallel base beams and therefore four support columns, the two of which at each end meet to form a point of attachment for the hammock. All these elements are also foldable as in the previous case.
Pour assurer en position ouverte la solidité de cette armature repliable, elle est généralement équipée aux niveaux des colonnes, de jambes de soutien amovibles et/ou articulées, ou des barres de renfort aptes à résister aux contraintes importantes qui s'exercent sur l'armature et plus précisément sur les colonnes d'extrémité. Mais ces éléments alourdissent l'ensemble au détriment de la maniabilité et de la souplesse du support.To ensure in the open position the solidity of this folding frame, it is generally fitted at the level of the columns, removable and / or articulated support legs, or reinforcement bars capable of withstanding the significant stresses which are exerted on the frame and more precisely on the end columns . But these elements weigh down the whole to the detriment of the maneuverability and the flexibility of the support.
L'invention remédie à ces inconvénients en proposant des moyens techniques plus simples qui pallient au manque de maniabilité et de souplesse d'utilisation que présentent les réalisations antérieures. L'armature selon l'invention se prête également à l'ajout d'éléments annexes tels qu'un parasol ou un plateau.The invention overcomes these drawbacks by proposing simpler technical means which compensate for the lack of maneuverability and flexibility of use presented by the previous embodiments. The frame according to the invention also lends itself to the addition of additional elements such as a parasol or a tray.
L'invention a donc pour objet principal une armature pliable de support de hamac, dont tous les éléments sont solidaires, comportant au moins deux colonnes composées chacune de deux éléments, l'un des deux éléments pouvant être rabattu sur l'autre, et comportant au moins une barre horizontale composée de deux parties reliées par une charnière et verrouillées par un verrou, des pieds d'appui se développant de part et d'autre de la barre horizontale, armature selon laquelle une pièce d'assemblage reçoit des organes de blocage pour verrouiller sur elle les colonnes, la barre horizontale ainsi que les pieds d'appui, et selon laquelle des dispositifs annexes sont montés sur au moins une colonne de façon déployable et/ou déplaçable.The main object of the invention is therefore a foldable hammock support frame, all of which are integral, comprising at least two columns each composed of two elements, one of the two elements being able to be folded down over the other, and comprising at least one horizontal bar composed of two parts connected by a hinge and locked by a latch, support feet developing on either side of the horizontal bar, frame according to which an assembly part receives locking members to lock on it the columns, the horizontal bar and the support feet, and according to which additional devices are mounted on at least one column in a deployable and / or movable manner.
Selon une autre caractéristique particulière de l'invention, un dispositif annexe est constitué d'un parasol monté au sommet de l'élément d'une colonne par l'intermédiaire d'une potence et d'un tube de raccordement fixé à une pièce d'assemblage et de liaison, un levier étant articulé sur la potence, levier sur lequel tourillonne un bras relié au manche du parasol, pour pouvoir le manipuler et l'orienter. D'autres caractéristiques particulières et avantages de l'invention apparaîtront à la lecture de la description suivante, d'exemples de réalisation dans lesquels il est fait référence aux dessins annexés qui représentent : figures 1 à 3, des vues respectivement en élévation, en plan et en bout d'un exemple d'armature en position dépliée. Figure 4, une vue de l'armature repliée.According to another particular characteristic of the invention, an additional device consists of a parasol mounted at the top of the element of a column by means of a bracket and a connection tube fixed to a piece of 'assembly and connection, a lever being articulated on the bracket, lever on which pivots an arm connected to the handle of the parasol, to be able to manipulate and orient it. Other particular characteristics and advantages of the invention will appear on reading the following description, of exemplary embodiments in which it is refers to the accompanying drawings which represent: FIGS. 1 to 3, respectively elevation, plan and end views of an example of reinforcement in the unfolded position.

Les figures 1 à 7 illustrent une première variante préférentielle de réalisation de l'invention. L'armature support de hamac comporte deux colonnes composées chacune de deux éléments 1 et 2 reliés par une pièce de liaison et d'articulation 21 formant un manchon, composée de deux parties articulées entre elle par une charnière 22. Cette pièce dispose de rainures de guidage 23 lui permettant de coulisser sur les éléments pourvus à cet effet d'ergots 24 formant butées. Quant la pièce de liaison et d'articulation 21 recouvre les éléments 1 et 2 comme on le voit à la figure 7, elle assure la rigidité de ces éléments en prolongement l'un de l'autre et permet à la colonne de résister aux divers mouvements de torsion et de rotation induits par l'élément supérieur 1 en conditions normales d'utilisation. La stabilité et la résistance sont ainsi assurées lors de la mise en place du hamac. Par contre, quand la pièce de liaison 21 est dans la position représentée à la figure 6, c'est-à-dire quand elle a coulissé sur les éléments, dans le sens de la flèche, jusqu'à ce que l'extrémité opposée des rainures 23 viennent en butée contre les ergots respectifs 24, alors la charnière 22 se trouve au raz des extrémités des éléments 1 et 2 qui peuvent se replier l'un sur l'autre.Figures 1 to 7 illustrate a first preferred embodiment of the invention. The hammock support frame comprises two columns each composed of two elements 1 and 2 connected by a connecting and articulation part 21 forming a sleeve, composed of two parts articulated to one another by a hinge 22. This part has grooves of guide 23 allowing it to slide on the elements provided for this purpose with pins 24 forming stops. As the connecting and articulation piece 21 covers the elements 1 and 2 as seen in FIG. 7, it ensures the rigidity of these elements in extension of one another and allows the column to resist the various torsional and rotational movements induced by the upper element 1 under normal conditions of use. Stability and resistance are thus ensured during the placement of the hammock. By cons, when the connecting piece 21 is in the position shown in Figure 6, that is to say when it has slid on the elements, in the direction of the arrow, until the opposite end grooves 23 come in abutment against the respective lugs 24, then the hinge 22 is flush with the ends of the elements 1 and 2 which can fold over one another.
Les colonnes sont fixées en haut d'une barre horizontale elle-même constituée de deux parties 6 et 7 raccordées par une charnière 9 et bloquées par un crochet de fermeture ou verrou 8. Cette fixation de chaque colonne sur la barre est assurée par une pièce d'assemblage 3 comprenant au moins un axe horizontal d'articulation 12 pour l'élément inférieur 2 de la colonne, et deux axes verticaux d'articulation 13 pour des pieds d'appui 10 qui se développent de part et d'autre de la barre horizontale. L'élément 2 de la colonne est muni d'un organe de blocage 4 qui vient s'ancrer dans la pièce d'assemblage 3 pourvue à cet effet d'une échancrure appropriée et d'une butée 5 pour arrêter le déplacement de 1 ' élément 2. D ' autre part chaque pied d'appui 10 est muni d'un verrou 11 lui permettant également de s'ancrer rigidement sur la pièce d'assemblage 3, et d'éviter ainsi tout mouvement. Le système de blocage 4 est avantageusement composé d'un taquet articulé sur un axe au moyen d'un ressort, et bloque tout mouvement des montants verticaux en position d'utilisation quand le taquet est mis en place dans la rainure opérée à cet effet dans la pièce d'assemblage 3. L'armature ainsi décrite est donc formée de deux grands ensembles repliables constitués, d'une part d'un piétement formé des barres horizontales 6 et 7 , d'autre part de colonnes formées des éléments 1 et 2 , ces ensembles étant articulés les uns avec les autres. Ils sont avantageusement réalisés à partir de tubes de section carrée.The columns are fixed at the top of a horizontal bar itself made up of two parts 6 and 7 connected by a hinge 9 and blocked by a closing hook or latch 8. This fixing of each column on the bar is ensured by a piece assembly 3 comprising at least one horizontal axis of articulation 12 for the lower element 2 of the column, and two vertical axes of articulation 13 for support feet 10 which develop on either side of the horizontal bar. The element 2 of the column is provided with a blocking member 4 which is anchored in the assembly part 3 provided for this purpose with a suitable notch and a stop 5 to stop the movement of 1 ' element 2. On the other hand, each support leg 10 is provided with a lock 11 also allowing it to be rigidly anchored on the assembly part 3, and thus to avoid any movement. The locking system 4 is advantageously composed of a cleat articulated on an axis by means of a spring, and blocks any movement of the vertical uprights in the use position when the cleat is put in place in the groove operated for this purpose in the assembly part 3. The frame thus described is therefore formed of two large folding assemblies consisting, on the one hand of a base formed of horizontal bars 6 and 7, on the other hand of columns formed of elements 1 and 2 , these assemblies being articulated with each other. They are advantageously made from square section tubes.
On voit plus précisément sur les figures 8 et 9 comment sont réalisés la charnière 9 et le verrou 8, ce dernier étant formé d'un ressort en feuillard. Une poignée 25 articulée sur un axe de rotation 26 est fixée sur une partie de la barre horizontale 6 afin de faciliter le transport de 1 ' armature .We see more precisely in Figures 8 and 9 how are made the hinge 9 and the latch 8, the latter being formed of a strip spring. A handle 25 articulated on an axis of rotation 26 is fixed on a part of the horizontal bar 6 in order to facilitate the transport of the frame.
D'après les figures 10 et 11, un dispositif d'ouverture simultanée des éléments verticaux 2 et des pieds d'appui 10 est compris dans la pièce d'assemblage 3. Le dispositif est constitué par un ensemble de pièces métalliques 27, 28 formant des articulations avec les pieds d'appui 10 et les colonnes. Plus précisément la figure 12 montre l'articulation 28 qui constitue la pièce maîtresse du système. La rotation effectuée par l'élément inférieur 2 de la colonne, lors du développement de l'armature à laquelle est liée l'articulation, agit sur un ressort 29 intégré à l'articulation 28. On peut obtenir ainsi l'ouverture simultanée des colonnes et des pieds d'appui. Ce mouvement est stoppé par une butée 30 (figure 10) .According to Figures 10 and 11, a device simultaneous opening of the vertical elements 2 and the support legs 10 is included in the assembly part 3. The device consists of a set of metal parts 27, 28 forming articulations with the support legs 10 and the columns. More precisely, FIG. 12 shows the articulation 28 which constitutes the centerpiece of the system. The rotation effected by the lower element 2 of the column, during the development of the armature to which the articulation is linked, acts on a spring 29 integrated into the articulation 28. The columns can thus be simultaneously opened and support feet. This movement is stopped by a stop 30 (Figure 10).
La figure 13 montre une autre forme de réalisation de l'armature selon la figure 1, dans laquelle les mêmes éléments portent les mêmes références .Figure 13 shows another embodiment of the frame according to Figure 1, in which the same elements have the same references.
Entre les éléments 1 et 2 , la pièce de liaison 21 de la figure 1 est remplacée par une articulation circulaire 30. Quand celle-ci est tournée à son maximum les éléments 1 et 2 s'alignent. Des percements sont placés dans l'armature, en haut des éléments verticaux 1 de chaque colonne. Ils permettent de recevoir des crochets pour la mise en place du hamac . Des embouts 31 en plastique sont placés, pour les obturer, en bout des éléments tubulaires ouverts, tels que les éléments 1, les barres horizontales 6 et 7 et les pieds d'appui 10.Between the elements 1 and 2, the connecting piece 21 of FIG. 1 is replaced by a circular articulation 30. When the latter is turned to its maximum, the elements 1 and 2 are aligned. Holes are placed in the frame, at the top of the vertical elements 1 of each column. They allow to receive hooks for the installation of the hammock. Plastic end pieces 31 are placed, for sealing them, at the end of the open tubular elements, such as the elements 1, the horizontal bars 6 and 7 and the support feet 10.
On voit sur la figure qu'un parasol 32 est monté sur l'armature par l'intermédiaire d'une potence 33 comprenant un tube de raccordement, lequel étant fixé à une pièce d'assemblage et de liaison 34 emboîtée au sommet de l'élément 1 d'une colonne. Des boulons d'assemblage 35 relient entre eux ces diverses pièces . Celui compris dans la pièce 34 permet la rotation du tube de raccordement jusqu'à ce que ce dernier soit stoppé par une butée 36. L'arrêt du mouvement rotatif marque la première phase de développement du parasol. Le tube horizontal formant la base de la potence 33, opère une rotation suivant un axe définit par un boulon d'assemblage, la rotation étant également limitée par la butée 36. La deuxième phase du déploiement est alors terminée, la dernière phase de déploiement du parasol s'effectue sur la potence ou le manche 37 s'articule sur un boulon d'extrémité 35. Les bobines 38 du parasol s'articulent et passent de la position fermée à la position ouverte grâce à des bagues 39 coulissantes sur le manche. Le parasol étant en position déployée comme le montre la figure 13, l'utilisateur a la possibilité de le manipuler et de l'orienter tout en étant couché dans le hamac. Pour cela il dispose d'un .levier 40 terminé par une poignée 42 et, articulé sur la potence 33 sur lequel tourillonne un bras 41 lui-même relié au manche du parasol. Des axes d'articulation sont évidemment prévus entre ces diverses pièces .It can be seen in the figure that a parasol 32 is mounted on the frame by means of a bracket 33 comprising a connection tube, which being fixed to an assembly and connection part 34 fitted at the top of the element 1 of a column. Assembly bolts 35 interconnect these various parts. The one included in part 34 allows the rotation of the connection tube until the latter is stopped by a stop 36. The stopping of the rotary movement marks the first phase of development of the parasol. The horizontal tube forming the base of the stem 33, operates a rotation along an axis defined by an assembly bolt, the rotation also being limited by the stop 36. The second phase of deployment is then completed, the last phase of deployment of the parasol is carried out on the bracket or the handle 37 is articulated on an end bolt 35. The coils 38 of the parasol are articulated and pass from the closed position to the open position by means of sliding rings 39 on the handle. The parasol being in the deployed position as shown in Figure 13, the user can manipulate and orient it while lying in the hammock. For this it has a .levier 40 terminated by a handle 42 and, articulated on the bracket 33 on which pivots an arm 41 itself connected to the handle of the parasol. Articulation axes are obviously provided between these various parts.
L'autre colonne reçoit un plateau 49 prévu pour poser des rafraîchissements, des livres ou tous objets à portée de mains de l'utilisateur. Un support métallique 43 du plateau s ' engage dans un manchon vertical 44 fixé à 1 ' élément 2. Le support peut donc tourner par rapport à la colonne, et peut être bloqué par une goupille d'assemblage non représentée. Avantageusement le plateau est également monté coulissant sur son support .The other column receives a tray 49 provided for placing refreshments, books or any objects within easy reach of the user. A metal support 43 of the plate engages in a vertical sleeve 44 fixed to one element 2. The support can therefore rotate relative to the column, and can be locked by an assembly pin not shown. Advantageously, the plate is also slidably mounted on its support.
Le transport de l'armature est facilité par des roulettes 45 montées de part et d'autre de la pièce d'assemblage 3, sur un axe horizontal. La figure 14 montre l'armature en position repliée et donc de faible encombrement. On voit que d'une part les deux parties 6 et 7 de la barre horizontale sont accolées l'une à l'autre et que d'autre part les élément 1 et 2 de chaque colonne sont également repliés, et rabattus le long des parties centrales.The transport of the frame is facilitated by rollers 45 mounted on either side of the assembly part 3, on a horizontal axis. Figure 14 shows the frame in the folded position and therefore compact. We see that on the one hand the two parts 6 and 7 of the horizontal bar are joined to one another and that on the other hand the elements 1 and 2 of each column are also folded, and folded down along the parts power stations.
Les figures 15 et 16 illustrent les deux premières phase de dépliage. On commence par écarter les parties 6 et 7 jusqu'à ce que la barre horizontale soit à plat sur le sol. On comprend qu'il est aisé ensuite de relever les colonnes puis de verrouiller les éléments 1 et 2 en position dressée pour aboutir au déploiement final de la figure 13.Figures 15 and 16 illustrate the first two unfolding phases. We start by spreading parts 6 and 7 until the horizontal bar is flat on the ground. It will be understood that it is then easy to raise the columns and then to lock the elements 1 and 2 in the upright position to result in the final deployment of FIG. 13.
Dans les variantes de réalisation représentées aux figures 17 et 18, le dispositif comporte quatre colonnes composées chacune de deux éléments 1 et 2. Les colonnes sont reliées à deux barres horizontales formées chacune de deux parties 6 et 7 articulées et repliables, comme dans le cas précédent. Les éléments 2 sont raccordés aux barres horizontales par des plaques 46 et des ressorts 47. Chaque paire de colonnes forme un triangle dont l'extrémité supérieure, au point de jonction des éléments 1 est coiffé par un élément de liaison 48 comportant le point d'accrochage hamac. On retrouve sur ces dessins les mêmes pièces que dans la première variante, avec les mêmes références .In the variant embodiments shown in Figures 17 and 18, the device comprises four columns each composed of two elements 1 and 2. The columns are connected to two horizontal bars each formed of two parts 6 and 7 articulated and foldable, as in the previous case. The elements 2 are connected to the horizontal bars by plates 46 and springs 47. Each pair of columns forms a triangle, the upper end of which, at the junction point of the elements 1, is capped by a connecting element 48 comprising the point of hanging hammock. We find on these drawings the same parts as in the first variant, with the same references.
Les pièces annexes notamment le parasol se développe à partir de l'élément de liaison 48, comme dans la première variante. Le plateau 49 est monté sur l'une ou l'autre des deux colonnes, d'un côté de l'armature. The additional parts, in particular the parasol, develops from the connecting element 48, as in the first variant. The plate 49 is mounted on one or the other of the two columns, on one side of the frame.
