Description

Meuble formant un abri anti sismique  Furniture forming a seismic shelter
La présente invention concerne un meuble, tel qu'une table, un bureau ou un pupitre, à l'épreuve de tremblement de terre.  The present invention relates to a piece of furniture, such as a table, desk or desk, earthquake proof.
Un tremblement de terre provoque des secousses sismiques qui, dans de nombreux cas, peuvent entraîner la destruction de bâtiments avec des risques d'ensevelissement des personnes présentes à l'intérieur du bâtiment.  An earthquake causes earthquakes, which in many cases can lead to the destruction of buildings with the risk of burial of people inside the building.
La destruction de bâtiments publics tels que, par exemple, des écoles présentent ainsi des conséquences tout à fait dramatiques pour les personnes et, notamment les enfants, qui se trouvent alors dans le bâtiment.  The destruction of public buildings such as schools, for example, has dramatic consequences for the people and especially the children who are in the building.
Dans les pays qui sont sujets aux tremblements de terre, les consig nes de sécurité sont habituellement de trouver refuge sous un chambranle de porte ou sous le plateau d'une table pour assurer une protection contre la chute des éléments de structure du bâtiment qui s'effondre.  In countries that are prone to earthquakes, safety consults are usually to find shelter under a door jamb or under a table top to provide protection against falling structural elements of the building. collapses.
L'expérience prouve malheureusement que la plupart des tables assure une protection médiocre contre l'écrasement par la structure du bâtiment qui s'effondre.  Experience unfortunately shows that most tables provide poor protection against crushing by the collapsing building structure.
Dans ce contexte, l'invention a pour but de proposer un meuble qui puisse assurer une véritable protection contre l'écrasement lors, notamment, d'une secousse sismique entraînant l'effondrement d'un bâtiment.  In this context, the invention aims to provide a piece of furniture that can provide true protection against crushing during, in particular, a seismic shock causing the collapse of a building.
L'invention concerne un meuble tel qu'une table, un bureau ou un pupitre, permettant de former un abri anti sismique, caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend au moins deux modules en caisson comprenant chacun :  The invention relates to a piece of furniture such as a table, a desk or a desk, making it possible to form an anti-seismic shelter, characterized in that it comprises at least two box modules each comprising:
- deux longerons inférieurs et deux longerons supérieurs superposés deux à deux, un longeron inférieur et un longeron supérieur étant commu ns aux deux mod ules en caisson , chaq ue mod ule formant u ne empreinte en triangle isocèle,  two lower longitudinal members and two upper longitudinal members superimposed two by two, a lower spar and an upper spar being connected to the two box-type models, each model forming an isosceles triangle footprint;
- deux montants triangulés interposés entre un longeron inférieur et un longeron supérieur, les longerons inférieurs étant pourvus d'un amortisseur au niveau de la zone de jonction avec les montants triangulés,  - two triangular amounts interposed between a lower spar and an upper spar, the lower spars being provided with a damper at the junction zone with the triangulated amounts,
- u n repose-pied de contreventement présentant une partie horizontale reliant deux longerons inférieurs adjacents et une partie oblique reliant deux longerons supérieurs formant repose-pied et surface d'assise,  - A bracing footrest having a horizontal portion connecting two adjacent lower rails and an oblique portion connecting two upper rails forming footrest and seating surface,
- au moins une traverse pliée en V et s'étendant sur deux modules en caisson reliant les deux longerons supérieurs s'étendant sur deux caissons accolés,  at least one V-folded cross member extending over two box modules connecting the two upper longitudinal members extending on two contiguous caissons,
- un plateau fixé sur la ou les traverses. Ainsi l'invention propose un meuble qui possède une structure en caisson faisant office de cellule de survie par ses propriétés de résistance à l'écrasement. Ce ca isson, par l'effet synergétique de ses dispositions structurelles principales - montants triangulés, amortisseurs à l'aplomb des montants triangulés, contreventement puissant par le repose-pied et la (ou les) traverses et par la présence d'une surface d'assise sous le meuble, assure une remarquable protection. La configuration en ligne brisée permet une meilleure absorption des charges de compression. - a tray fixed on the sleepers. Thus, the invention proposes a piece of furniture that has a box structure serving as a survival cell by its crush resistance properties. Thanks to the synergetic effect of its main structural arrangements - triangulated uprights, shock absorbers above the triangulated uprights, powerful bracing by the footrest and (or) sleepers and the presence of a surface sitting under the furniture, provides a remarkable protection. The broken line configuration allows for better absorption of compression loads.
Selon une forme de réal isation préférée, le montant triangulé possède quatre tubes fixés sur les longerons inférieur et supérieur dans une configuration selon laquelle deux tubes sont disposés diagonalement en croix depuis une extrémité du longeron inférieur vers l'extrém ité opposée du longeron supérieur et deux tubes sont d isposés en trapèze depuis une extrémité du longeron inférieur vers le longeron supérieur. Cette disposition permet de conserver un meuble relativement léger tout en assurant une grande résistance à la compression.  In a preferred embodiment, the triangulated post has four tubes attached to the upper and lower rails in a configuration in which two tubes are diagonally crosswise from one end of the lower beam to the opposite end of the upper beam and two The tubes are trapezoidal from one end of the lower spar to the upper spar. This arrangement allows to keep a relatively light furniture while ensuring high compressive strength.
De préférence, l'amortisseur inséré dans un tube inférieur est réalisé dans un cylindre de caoutchouc.  Preferably, the damper inserted in a lower tube is made in a rubber cylinder.
Selon une disposition de l'invention, le meuble comprend deux plateaux en forme de trapèze isocèle.  According to one embodiment of the invention, the piece of furniture comprises two trays in the shape of an isosceles trapezium.
Pour sa bonne compréhension, l'invention est décrite en référence au dessin ci annexé représentant, à titre d'exemple non limitatif, une forme de réalisation d'un meuble selon celle-ci.  For a good understanding, the invention is described with reference to the accompanying drawing showing, by way of non-limiting example, an embodiment of a piece of furniture according thereto.
Figure 1 est une vue en perspective d'une forme de réalisation d'une table pour deux utilisateurs,  Figure 1 is a perspective view of an embodiment of a table for two users,
Figure 2 est une vue en perspective éclatée de cette table,  Figure 2 is an exploded perspective view of this table,
Figure 3 est une vue de côté de la même table,  Figure 3 is a side view of the same table,
Figure 4 est une vue de dessus d'un plateau appartenant à cette table.  Figure 4 is a top view of a plate belonging to this table.
Comme on peut le voir sur la figure 1 , la table qui est représentée selon l'exemple, est une table prévue pour deux utilisateurs.  As can be seen in FIG. 1, the table which is represented according to the example is a table intended for two users.
Comme on le verra plus loin, cette forme de réalisation n'est pas limitative et l'on peut envisager une table selon l'invention pour un ou plus de deux utilisateurs.  As will be seen below, this embodiment is not limiting and we can consider a table according to the invention for one or more users.
On peut maintenant se reporter à la figure 2 pour une description plus précise de la structure de cette table. La table 1 , selon l'invention, a pour objet d'assurer la protection d'un utilisateur qui se trouverait pris dans l'effondrement du bâtiment dans lequel il se trouve, notamment pour cause d'une secousse sismique. We can now refer to Figure 2 for a more precise description of the structure of this table. Table 1, according to the invention, aims to provide protection for a user who would be caught in the collapse of the building in which it is located, especially because of an earthquake.
Pour cela, la table 1 selon l'invention présente une structure très particulière en caissons 2 dont on va décrire la structure maintenant. Comme on peut le voir sur cette figure la table 1 est formée de deux caissons accolés.  For this, the table 1 according to the invention has a very particular structure in boxes 2 whose structure will now be described. As can be seen in this figure the table 1 is formed of two contiguous boxes.
Comme on peut le voir sur cette figure, il est prévu deux longerons inférieurs 3 et deux longerons supérieurs 4 qui sont superposés deux à deux pour délimiter un caisson. Ces deux longerons supérieurs 3 et inférieurs 4 sont maintenus à distance par des montants 6 triangulés latéraux.  As can be seen in this figure, there are provided two lower longitudinal members 3 and two upper longitudinal members 4 which are superimposed two by two to delimit a box. These two upper and lower spars 3 and 4 are kept at a distance by lateral triangular uprights 6.
La structure des montants 6 triangulés latéraux peut être plus particulièrement appréciée à la figure 3 où l'on peut voir que les montants 6 triangulés sont constitués, dans l'exemple représenté, par quatre tubes 8 qui sont soudés à chacune de leurs extrémités sur les longerons inférieurs 3 et les longerons supérieurs 4.  The structure of the lateral triangular uprights 6 can be more particularly appreciated in FIG. 3 where it can be seen that the triangulated uprights 6 are constituted, in the example represented, by four tubes 8 which are welded at each of their ends to the lower longitudinal members 3 and upper longitudinal members 4.
Deux tubes 8 sont disposés diagonalement en croix depuis une extrémité du longeron inférieur 3 vers l'extrémité opposée du longeron supérieur 4.  Two tubes 8 are diagonally crosswise from one end of the lower spar 3 towards the opposite end of the upper spar 4.
On note également la présence de deux autres tubes 8 qui sont disposés sensiblement en trapèze depuis une extrémité du longeron inférieur 3 vers le longeron supérieur 4, le point de fixation des tubes 8 en trapèze se situant sensiblement au niveau du tiers du longeron supérieur 4.  We also note the presence of two other tubes 8 which are arranged substantially trapezoidal from one end of the lower spar 3 towards the upper spar 4, the point of attachment of the trapezoidal tubes 8 being located substantially at the third of the upper spar 4.
A titre d'exemple, on peut noter que l'angle formé par chacun des tubes 8 en trapèze est de l'ordre de 70 à 75° avec le longeron inférieur, tandis que les tubes disposés en croix forment chacun un angle de l'ordre de 50 à 55° avec le longeron supérieur.  By way of example, it can be noted that the angle formed by each of the trapezoidal tubes 8 is of the order of 70 to 75 ° with the lower spar, while the tubes arranged in cross form each an angle of order of 50 to 55 ° with the upper spar.
Un point qu'il est important de noter est que les deux tubes 8 en croix, tout comme les deux tubes 8 en trapèze, sont fixés au niveau du longeron inférieur à chacune des extrémités de celui-ci.  A point that is important to note is that the two cross tubes 8, just like the two tubes 8 trapezoidal, are fixed at the lower spar at each end thereof.
Or, au niveau de chacune des extrémités du longeron inférieur 3, il est prévu qu'un amortisseur 10 soit engagé dans le longeron inférieur 3. Cet amortisseur 10 peut être constitué, par exemple, par un cylindre de caoutchouc qui est inséré dans le longeron inférieur à chacune de ses extrémités et qui se trouve ainsi à l'aplomb de deux tubes 8. On verra plus loin que cette disposition est importante pour le comportement de la table 1 , lorsque celle-ci est soumise à une sollicitation de compression. However, at each of the ends of the lower spar 3, it is provided that a damper 10 is engaged in the lower spar 3. This damper 10 may be constituted, for example, by a rubber cylinder which is inserted into the spar lower than each of its ends and which is thus in line with two tubes 8. It will be seen later that this provision is important for the behavior of the table 1, when it is subjected to a compressive stress.
Les ensembles constitués par les longerons inférieu rs 3 et supérieurs 4 et les montants 6 triangulés sont reliés, en partie basse, par un repose-pied 1 1 de contreventement.  The assemblies consisting of the lower spars 3 and upper 4 and 6 triangulated uprights are connected in the lower part by a footrest 1 1 bracing.
Le repose-pied 1 1 est réalisé dans une tôle pliée présentant une partie horizontale 1 1 a qui est fixée à chacun des longerons inférieurs 3 et une partie oblique 1 1 b qui est fixée sur l'un des tubes 8 en trapèze et l'un des tubes 8 en croix des montants 6 triangulés. La fixation du repose-pied 1 1 de contreventement peut être réalisée, par exemple, par un assemblage de type vis et écrous.  The footrest January 1 is made in a folded sheet having a horizontal portion January 1 which is attached to each of the lower longitudinal members 3 and an oblique portion 1 1b which is fixed on one of the tubes 8 in trapezoid and the one of the tubes 8 cross triangular uprights 6. The attachment of the footrest 1 1 bracing can be achieved, for example, by a screw type assembly and nuts.
Le repose-pied 1 1 assure un contreventement extrêmement efficace et stabilise la partie basse de la table 1 puisque le repose-pied n'agit pas dans un unique plan.  The footrest 1 1 ensures extremely effective bracing and stabilizes the lower part of the table 1 since the footrest does not act in a single plane.
En partie supérieure des ensembles longerons inférieurs 3 et supérieurs 4 et montants triangulés 6, il est prévu que la liaison soit faite par des traverses 12, par exemple, de section carrée, comme cela est représenté sur la figure 2, qui sont fixées sur les longerons supérieurs 4. Comme cela est montré sur les figures, les traverses 12 peuvent être au nombre de trois.  In the upper part of the lower longitudinal members 3 and upper 4 and triangulated amounts 6, it is expected that the connection is made by cross members 12, for example, of square section, as shown in Figure 2, which are fixed on the upper rails 4. As shown in the figures, the cross members 12 can be three in number.
Pour ce qui est de la fixation de ces trois traverses 12 de section carrée, on peut voir, comme cela est représenté sur la figure 2, que cette fixation peut être réalisée par exemple grâce à une cornière 13 qui vient se mettre en position sur l'un des longerons supérieurs 4 et par des cavaliers 9 qui viennent prendre en sandwich le longeron supérieur 4.  As regards the fixing of these three crosspieces 12 of square section, it can be seen, as is shown in Figure 2, that this fixing can be achieved for example by an angle bracket 13 which comes to put in position on the one of the upper spars 4 and by riders 9 which come sandwich the upper spar 4.
Dans l 'exemple représenté à la fig ure 2 , les traverses 12 se prolongent pour assurer la fixation de deux caissons 2 accolés ayant trois ensembles comprenant des longerons inférieurs 3 et supérieurs 4 et des montants 6 triangulés.  In the example shown in Fig ure 2, the cross members 12 are extended to ensure the attachment of two contiguous boxes 2 having three sets comprising lower 3 and upper spars 4 and 6 uprights triangulated.
L'ensemble central comprenant un longeron inférieur 3 et supérieur 4 et un montant 6 triangulé est ainsi commun aux deux caissons.  The central assembly comprising a lower spar 3 and upper 4 and a triangulated upright 6 is thus common to both caissons.
De plus, il est prévu deux pl atea ux 14 identiques, de forme trapézoïdale, qui sont rapportés et fixés sur les trois traverses qui assurent la fixation supérieure de la table 1 .  In addition, there are two identical plates 14, of trapezoidal shape, which are attached and fixed on the three cross members which ensure the upper attachment of the table 1.
Cette structure de table 1 est de préférence réalisée en tubes métalliques de section, selon les cas, carrée, ronde ou elliptique, qui peuvent être fixés entre eux par soudage, brasage, fixation mécanique de type vis, écrous, rivetage, etc. Ces éléments mécaniques peuvent être également peints. On pourrait par ailleurs envisager d'utiliser des matériaux composites pour tout ou partie des éléments constitutifs de la table. This table structure 1 is preferably made of metal tubes of section, depending on the case, square, round or elliptical, which can be fixed to each other by welding, soldering, mechanical fastening such as screws, nuts, riveting, etc. These mechanical elements can also be painted. One could also consider using composite materials for all or part of the constituent elements of the table.
Pour une meilleure finition de la table, il peut être prévu tout type de bouchons 15, notamment en matière plastique pour venir obturer les extrémités libres des tubes qui constituent la structure de la table 1 .  For a better finish of the table, it can be provided any type of plugs 15, including plastic to come close off the free ends of the tubes that constitute the structure of the table 1.
On voit a insi q ue l 'on a défin i une table 1 qui, dans l'exemple représenté, présente deux caissons 2 formés latéralement par les ensembles longerons inférieurs 3 et supérieurs 4 et montants 6 triangulés, en partie basse par le repose-pied 1 1 de contreventement, et en partie haute par la ou les traverses 12 qui viennent relier les longerons supérieurs 4.  It will be seen that a table 1 has been defined which, in the example shown, has two caissons 2 formed laterally by the lower longitudinal members 3 and upper 4 and triangulated uprights 6, in the lower part by the foot 1 1 of bracing, and in the upper part by the cross or 12 that come to connect the upper rails 4.
Cette structure en caisson se comporte comme une cellule de survie lorsqu'elle est soll icitée en compression , par exemple, lorsque les éléments de structure, de type éléments de béton provenant d'un bâtiment qui s'effondre, viennent à tomber sur ladite table 1 .  This box structure behaves like a survival cell when it is stressed in compression, for example, when the structural elements, of the concrete element type coming from a collapsing building, fall on the said table. 1.
Cette table 1 , qui possède donc dans l'exemple représenté deux modules en caisson 2 accolés l'un à l'autre, permet d'absorber une grande partie de l 'énergie qu'elle reçoit dans les montants triangulés qui ont la particularité de transmettre leur énergie aux amortisseurs logés dans les extrémités des longerons inférieurs.  This table 1, which therefore has in the example shown two box modules 2 contiguous to one another, absorbs a large part of the energy it receives in the triangulated amounts which have the particularity of transmit their energy to the dampers housed in the ends of the lower rails.
On peut noter que la forme en chevron de la table 1 , telle qu'elle est illustrée, a également un comportement à la résistance à la compression qui s'avère tout à fait intéressant dans la mesure où la structure en ligne brisée de la table 1 permet une meilleure dissipation de l'énergie qui lui est transmise.  It may be noted that the chevron shape of table 1, as illustrated, also has a compressive strength behavior which is quite interesting since the broken line structure of the table 1 allows a better dissipation of the energy transmitted to it.
L'invention fournit ainsi un meuble, tel qu'une table, un bureau ou un pupitre, sous lequel une personne peut trouver refuge dans une cellule de survie constituée par le module en caisson . Le repose-pied crée une surface d'assise sur laquelle une personne peut prendre place.  The invention thus provides a piece of furniture, such as a table, an office or a desk, under which a person can find refuge in a survival cell constituted by the box module. The footrest creates a seating surface on which a person can sit.
L'exemple il l ustré aux fig ures montre une table 1 pour deux personnes. Bien entendu, il peut être envisagé d'avoir une table que pour une personne ou il peut également être envisagé de juxtaposer une série de modules en caisson pour, par exemple, former un hexagone dans le cas d'une table, par exemple, pour salle à manger.  The example shown in Fig ures shows a table 1 for two people. Of course, it can be envisaged to have a table that for a person or it can also be envisaged to juxtapose a series of modules in a box to, for example, form a hexagon in the case of a table, for example, for dining room.
L'invention est bien entendu décrite à titre d'exemple non limitatif, mais elle peut en embrasser toutes les variantes de réalisation.  The invention is of course described by way of non-limiting example, but it can embrace all variants.
