Description
MODULE DE REVETEMENT DE SOL ET ENSEMBLE MODULAIRE DE REVETEMENT DE SOL ASSOCIE SOIL COATING MODULE AND MODULAR SOIL COATING ASSEMBLY
DOMAINE DE L'INVENTION FIELD OF THE INVENTION
L'invention concerne un module de revêtement de sol et un ensemble modulaire de revêtement de sol associé. The invention relates to a flooring module and a modular assembly of associated flooring.
ETAT DE LA TECHNIQUE STATE OF THE ART
On connaît des systèmes de revêtement de sol formés d'ensembles modulaires. Ces ensembles modulaires comprennent généralement une pluralité de modules adaptés pour être posés sur le sol et assemblés entre eux. Floor covering systems formed from modular assemblies are known. These modular assemblies generally comprise a plurality of modules adapted to be placed on the ground and assembled together.
Chaque module comprend généralement un élément de support en matière plastique et des éléments de finition, tels que par exemple des lames de bois, fixés sur l'élément de support par vissage. L'élément de support comprend des moyens d'attache permettant d'assembler le module avec un module adjacent. Each module generally comprises a plastic support element and finishing elements, such as for example wood slats, fixed on the support element by screwing. The support member includes attachment means for assembling the module with an adjacent module.
Le document FR 2 955 601 décrit par exemple une structure modulaire de support d'un revêtement de sol comprenant une pluralité de modules unitaires assemblés entre eux par un système de tenons et de mortaises. FR 2 955 601 describes for example a modular structure for supporting a floor covering comprising a plurality of unit modules assembled together by a system of tenons and mortises.
Ces structures modulaires présentent l'avantage de pouvoir être posés facilement sur un sol en carrelage ou en béton, sans outil spécifique, sans nécessiter l'installation préalable de lambourdes ou de supports spécifiques. These modular structures have the advantage of being able to be installed easily on a tiled or concrete floor, without any specific tool, without requiring the prior installation of joists or specific supports.
Ces structures modulaires autorisent la création de revêtements de sol associant des éléments de finition différents. These modular structures allow the creation of floor coverings combining different finishing elements.
Un inconvénient toutefois de ces structures est que les éléments de finition sont fixés sur l'élément de support au moyen de vis, ce qui nécessite l'utilisation d'outils et augmente la durée de montage du module. A disadvantage, however, of these structures is that the finishing elements are fixed to the support element by means of screws, which requires the use of tools and increases the mounting time of the module.
Lors du montage, il est difficile d'obtenir un positionnement précis des éléments de finition par rapport à l'élément de support.
En cas de variation de température ou d'hygrométrie, une différence de dilatation peut se produire entre l'élément de support et des éléments de finition, ce qui peut provoquer une déformation du module. During assembly, it is difficult to obtain precise positioning of the finishing elements with respect to the support element. In the event of a change in temperature or humidity, a difference in expansion may occur between the support member and finishing elements, which may cause deformation of the module.
Par ailleurs, dans le cas de modules comprenant des éléments de finition en bois naturel, les éléments de finition doivent présenter une épaisseur suffisante, typiquement supérieure ou égale à 14 millimètres, afin d'être suffisamment résistants. Cela conduit à diminuer l'épaisseur du support afin de ne pas modifier l'épaisseur totale du module, et de maintenir la compatibilité du module avec d'autres modules. Furthermore, in the case of modules comprising natural wood finishing elements, the finishing elements must have a sufficient thickness, typically greater than or equal to 14 millimeters, in order to be sufficiently resistant. This leads to a reduction in the thickness of the support so as not to modify the total thickness of the module, and to maintain the compatibility of the module with other modules.
Dans le même temps, les éléments de finition en bois naturel doivent être protégés de l'humidité du sol. At the same time, natural wood finishing elements must be protected from the soil moisture.
RESUME DE L'INVENTION SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Un but de l'invention est de proposer un module de revêtement de sol pouvant être monté facilement et permettant l'utilisation d'éléments de finition d'épaisseur importante. An object of the invention is to provide a flooring module that can be mounted easily and allowing the use of finishing elements of significant thickness.
Ce problème est résolu dans le cadre de la présente invention grâce à un module de revêtement de sol comprenant : This problem is solved in the context of the present invention by means of a flooring module comprising:
- un élément de support destiné à être posé sur le sol, et a support element intended to be placed on the ground, and
- un élément de finition comprenant une face de parement destinée à être apparente, une face de contreparement, opposée à la face de parement et destinée à être en contact avec l'élément de support, et des faces latérales s'étendant transversalement aux faces de parement et de contreparement, dans lequel l'élément de support comprend des organes d'attache comprenant des pattes élastiques, aptes à venir en prise avec les faces latérales de l'élément de finition pour fixer l'élément de finition sur l'élément de support, et a finishing element comprising a facing face intended to be apparent, a counterface face opposite to the facing face and intended to be in contact with the support element, and lateral faces extending transversely to the faces of the facing element; siding and backing, wherein the support member comprises fastening members comprising resilient tabs, engageable with the side faces of the finishing member for securing the finishing member to the fastener element; support, and
dans lequel l'élément de support comprend une nervure et l'élément de finition comprend une gorge ménagée sur la face de contreparement et adaptée pour recevoir la nervure pour positionner l'élément de finition par rapport à l'élément de support. wherein the support member comprises a rib and the finishing member comprises a groove on the back face and adapted to receive the rib for positioning the finishing member with respect to the support member.
Comme les organes d'attache viennent en prise avec les faces latérales de l'élément de finition, c'est-à-dire les faces s'étendant dans
l'épaisseur de l'élément de finition, il est possible de concevoir un module dans lequel les éléments de finition présentent une épaisseur importante. As the fasteners engage with the side faces of the finishing member, i.e. the faces extending into the thickness of the finishing element, it is possible to design a module in which the finishing elements have a large thickness.
Par ailleurs, la nervure de l'élément de support permet de maintenir le positionnement de l'élément de finition sur l'élément de support tandis que les pattes élastiques autorisent une dilatation de l'élément de finition. Ainsi, lorsque plusieurs éléments de finition se trouvent les uns à côté des autres, les éléments de finition conservent leur positionnement les uns par rapport aux autres tout en pouvant néanmoins se dilater. Furthermore, the rib of the support member maintains the positioning of the finishing element on the support member while the elastic tabs allow expansion of the finishing element. Thus, when several finishing elements are next to each other, the finishing elements retain their position relative to each other while still being able to expand.

Les surfaces 7 sont coplanaires. Le plateau 4 comprend autant de parois 6 de
support que d'éléments de finition : dans l'exemple représenté sur la figure 3, le plateau 4 comprend quatre parois 6. In each solid zone, the plate 4 comprises a support wall 6, each support wall 6 having a planar top surface 7 intended to be in contact with a rear face (or counterface) of a finishing element, over any the width of the finishing element, when the finishing element is fixed on the support element. The surfaces 7 are coplanar. The plate 4 comprises as many walls 6 of support only finishing elements: in the example shown in Figure 3, the plate 4 comprises four walls 6.
La surface supérieure 7 de chaque paroi de support 6 présente une forme allongée et des dimensions sensiblement identiques à celles d'un élément de finition. Les parois de support 6 permettent ainsi d'isoler l'élément de finition du sol pour protéger l'élément de finition de l'humidité. The upper surface 7 of each support wall 6 has an elongate shape and dimensions substantially identical to those of a finishing element. The support walls 6 thus make it possible to isolate the finishing element from the ground in order to protect the finishing element from moisture.
Chaque paroi de support 6 comprend une nervure centrale 8 s'étendant selon une direction longitudinale de la paroi 6 et faisant saillie à partir de la surface supérieure plane 7. Chaque nervure 8 forme un rail pour guider et positionner l'élément de finition par rapport à l'élément de support lors du montage du module. Each support wall 6 comprises a central rib 8 extending in a longitudinal direction of the wall 6 and projecting from the flat upper surface 7. Each rib 8 forms a rail for guiding and positioning the finishing element relative to to the support element when mounting the module.
Chaque paroi de support 6 comprend également un ensemble de canaux 9 pour l'évacuation de l'eau de pluie. Plus précisément, chaque paroi de support 6 comprend deux réseaux de canaux 9, les réseaux étant agencés de part et d'autre de la nervure centrale 8, symétriquement par rapport à la nervure centrale 8. Each support wall 6 also comprises a set of channels 9 for the evacuation of rainwater. More specifically, each support wall 6 comprises two networks of channels 9, the networks being arranged on either side of the central rib 8, symmetrically with respect to the central rib 8.
Les canaux 9 sont constitués par des gorges ménagées sur la surface supérieure plane de la paroi de support 6. The channels 9 are constituted by grooves formed on the flat upper surface of the support wall 6.
Chaque réseau de canaux 9 comprend un canal longitudinal 10 s'étendant parallèlement à la nervure centrale 8, et une pluralité de canaux transversaux 1 1 s'étendant perpendiculairement à la nervure centrale 8, en coupant le canal longitudinal 10. Les canaux transversaux 1 1 présentent une profondeur qui va en augmentant à mesure que le canal s'écarte de la nervure centrale 8 de manière à évacuer l'eau vers les bords de la paroi de support 6 et éviter que de l'eau ne stagne entre la paroi et l'élément de finition. Each channel network 9 comprises a longitudinal channel 10 extending parallel to the central rib 8, and a plurality of transverse channels 1 1 extending perpendicularly to the central rib 8, cutting the longitudinal channel 10. The transverse channels 1 1 have a depth that increases as the channel deviates from the central rib 8 so as to evacuate the water towards the edges of the support wall 6 and prevent water from stagnating between the wall and the finishing element.
Dans les zones ajourées, le plateau 4 comprend des ouvertures 12 traversant le plateau pour permettre à l'eau de s'écouler à travers l'élément de support 2. Plus précisément, le plateau 4 comprend des rangées d'ouvertures, chaque rangée s'étendant entre deux parois de support. Chaque canal transversal 1 1 débouche dans une ouverture 12 de manière à guider l'eau jusqu'à l'ouverture.
Par ailleurs, l'élément de support 2 comprend également des organes d'attache 13 agencés de part et d'autre de chaque paroi de support 6 pour fixer les éléments de finition sur l'élément de support 2. Les organes d'attache 13 sont disposés par paires, le long des bords longitudinaux des parois 6. Les organes d'attache 13 d'une même paire se font face, et sont disposés symétriquement par rapport à la nervure centrale 8 pour pouvoir venir en prise avec des parois latérales d'un élément de finition. In the perforated zones, the plate 4 comprises openings 12 passing through the plate to allow water to flow through the support element 2. More specifically, the plate 4 comprises rows of openings, each row being extending between two support walls. Each transverse channel 1 1 opens into an opening 12 so as to guide the water to the opening. Furthermore, the support element 2 also comprises fastening members 13 arranged on either side of each support wall 6 for fixing the finishing elements on the support element 2. The fastening elements 13 are arranged in pairs, along the longitudinal edges of the walls 6. The fastening members 13 of the same pair face each other, and are arranged symmetrically with respect to the central rib 8 to be able to engage with side walls of a finishing element.
La figure 4D représente de manière plus précise la forme des organes d'attache 13. FIG. 4D is a more precise representation of the shape of the attachment members 13.
Chaque organe d'attache 13 comprend une patte élastique 14 s'étendant en saillie de la surface supérieure 7 d'une paroi de support 6 et une dent 15 formée à une extrémité libre de la patte élastique 14. Chaque organe d'attache 13 comprend également une nervure 16 de rigidification. Each fastening member 13 comprises an elastic tab 14 projecting from the upper surface 7 of a support wall 6 and a tooth 15 formed at a free end of the elastic tab 14. Each attachment member 13 comprises also a stiffening rib 16.
La dent 15 est apte à venir s'engager dans une rainure ménagée dans une paroi latérale de l'élément de finition pour fixer l'élément de finition à l'élément de support. The tooth 15 is able to engage in a groove in a side wall of the finishing element to fix the finishing element to the support member.
Chaque patte élastique 14 est légèrement inclinée par rapport à une direction perpendiculaire au plan de la surface 7 qui reçoit l'élément de finition. Plus précisément, la patte élastique 14 est inclinée vers l'élément de finition de manière à contrer les efforts latéraux pouvant être exercés sur la patte par l'élément de finition. En outre, la nervure 16 de rigidification est agencée du côté de la patte 14 opposé au côté qui supporte la dent 15 de manière à renforcer encore la patte élastique 14. Each elastic tab 14 is slightly inclined relative to a direction perpendicular to the plane of the surface 7 which receives the finishing element. More specifically, the elastic tab 14 is inclined towards the finishing element so as to counter the lateral forces that can be exerted on the tab by the finishing element. In addition, the stiffening rib 16 is arranged on the side of the tab 14 opposite the side that supports the tooth 15 so as to further strengthen the elastic tab 14.
Le cadre 5 de l'élément de support 2 comprend quatre parois périphériques 17 à 20 délimitant le plateau 4, le long de chaque côté du plateau. Chaque paroi périphérique 17 à 20 comprend une série d'organes de connexion permettant de raccorder le module 1 à un module adjacent identique afin d'assembler les modules entre eux pour former un revêtement de sol. La série d'organes de connexion comprend une alternance de tenons 21 et de mortaises 22. Les tenons 21 sont aptes à être insérés dans les mortaises 22 par emboîtement selon une direction verticale.
Les trois parois périphériques 17 à 19 comprennent des tenons 21 qui s'étendent en saillie au-delà de la surface supérieure plane 7 des parois de support 6. En revanche, la paroi périphérique 20 qui s'étend transversalement à la direction des nervures 8 comprend des tenons 21 qui affleurent la surface supérieure plane 7. The frame 5 of the support member 2 comprises four peripheral walls 17 to 20 defining the plate 4, along each side of the tray. Each peripheral wall 17 to 20 comprises a series of connection members for connecting the module 1 to an identical adjacent module in order to assemble the modules together to form a floor covering. The series of connecting members comprises an alternation of tenons 21 and mortises 22. The tenons 21 are adapted to be inserted into the mortises 22 by interlocking in a vertical direction. The three peripheral walls 17 to 19 comprise tenons 21 projecting beyond the flat upper surface 7 of the support walls 6. On the other hand, the peripheral wall 20 which extends transversely to the direction of the ribs 8 comprises studs 21 which are flush with the flat upper surface 7.
Cela permet d'assembler chaque élément de finition 3 sur l'élément de support 2 en faisant simplement coulisser l'élément de finition 3 le long d'une nervure de guidage 8. L'élément de finition 3 est simplement introduit du côté de la paroi 20 et est poussé le long d'une nervure de guidage 8 jusqu'à ce que l'élément de finition 3 vienne en butée contre les tenons 21 de la paroi périphérique 18 opposée. This makes it possible to assemble each finishing element 3 on the support element 2 by simply sliding the finishing element 3 along a guide rib 8. The finishing element 3 is simply introduced on the side of the 20 and is pushed along a guide rib 8 until the finishing element 3 abuts against the tenons 21 of the opposite peripheral wall 18.
Comme cela est illustré sur les figures 2, 5 et 6A à 6C, l'élément de support 2 comprend un ensemble de nervures 23 et 24 formées sur le plateau 4, du côté du plateau 4 destinée à être tournée vers le sol (dessous du plateau 4). Ces nervures 23 et 24servent à la fois à rigidifier l'élément de support 2 et à venir en appui sur la surface du sol pour former des pieds pour le module. As illustrated in FIGS. 2, 5 and 6A to 6C, the support element 2 comprises a set of ribs 23 and 24 formed on the plate 4, on the side of the plate 4 intended to be turned towards the ground (below the tray 4). These ribs 23 and 24 serve both to stiffen the support member 2 and to bear against the ground surface to form feet for the module.
Les nervures 23 et 24 permettent en particulier de maintenir le plateau 4 à une distance prédéfinie du sol afin de créer une lame d'air sous le plateau 4. The ribs 23 and 24 in particular make it possible to hold the plate 4 at a predefined distance from the ground in order to create an air space under the plate 4.
L'ensemble de nervures inclut des nervures longitudinales 23 et des nervures transversales 24, s'étendant perpendiculairement aux nervures longitudinales 23. Plus précisément, chaque paroi de support 6 comprend une nervure longitudinale 23 s'étendant selon une direction longitudinale de la paroi 6 et faisant saillie à partir de la surface inférieure 25 de la paroi 6. Chaque nervure longitudinale 23 s'étend sous une nervure centrale 8 correspondante afin de renforcer la paroi 6 à ce niveau. The set of ribs includes longitudinal ribs 23 and transverse ribs 24, extending perpendicularly to the longitudinal ribs 23. Specifically, each support wall 6 comprises a longitudinal rib 23 extending in a longitudinal direction of the wall 6 and protruding from the lower surface 25 of the wall 6. Each longitudinal rib 23 extends under a corresponding central rib 8 to reinforce the wall 6 at this level.
Les nervures transversales 24 s'étendent de part et d'autre des zones où sont positionnées les pattes élastiques 13. The transverse ribs 24 extend on either side of the zones where the elastic tabs 13 are positioned.
Par ailleurs, aussi bien les parois périphériques 17 à 20 que les nervures 23 et 24 comprennent des ouvertures 26 et 27 permettant à l'air de circuler sous le plateau 4 pour créer une ventilation et éviter que de l'eau stagne sous le plateau 4.
Le plateau comprend également des orifices 28 permettant d'insérer des vis en vue de visser les éléments de finition 3 sur l'élément de support 2 afin de procurer une fixation supplémentaire. Toutefois, les éléments de finition 3 sont maintenus sur l'élément de support 2 sans qu'il soit nécessaire de le visser. Furthermore, both the peripheral walls 17 to 20 and the ribs 23 and 24 comprise openings 26 and 27 allowing the air to circulate under the plate 4 to create a ventilation and prevent water from stagnating under the plate 4 . The tray also includes orifices 28 for inserting screws for screwing the finishing members 3 onto the support member 2 to provide additional attachment. However, the finishing elements 3 are held on the support member 2 without the need to screw it.
Comme cela est illustré sur les figures 7 et 8, chaque élément de finition 3 (ou lame) comprend une face plane supérieure 29 (ou face de parement) destiné à être visible lorsque le module est posé sur le sol (en utilisation normale) et une face plane inférieure 30 (ou face de contreparement), opposée à la face de parement 29 et destinée à venir en appui contre une paroi 7 de l'élément de support 2. La face de parement 29 peut être texturée ou présenter un motif décoratif en fonction de l'aspect que l'on souhaite donner au revêtement de sol. As illustrated in FIGS. 7 and 8, each finishing element 3 (or blade) comprises an upper flat face 29 (or facing face) intended to be visible when the module is placed on the ground (in normal use) and a lower flat face 30 (or counterface face), opposite to the facing face 29 and intended to bear against a wall 7 of the support element 2. The facing face 29 may be textured or have a decorative pattern depending on the aspect that one wishes to give to the floor covering.
Chaque élément de finition 3 comprend également des faces latérales 31 et 32 (ou tranches) s'étendant selon l'épaisseur de l'élément de finition 3. Lorsque les éléments de finition 3 sont fixés côte à côte sur l'élément de support 2, la face latérale 31 d'un élément de finition 3 s'étend en regard de la face latérale 32 d'un élément de finition 3 adjacent. Each finishing element 3 also comprises side faces 31 and 32 (or slices) extending along the thickness of the finishing element 3. When the finishing elements 3 are fixed side by side on the support element 2 , the lateral face 31 of a finishing element 3 extends opposite the lateral face 32 of an adjacent finishing element 3.
Chaque face latérale 31 , 32 comprend une gorge longitudinale 33 d'attache s'étendant parallèlement aux faces 29, 30 de parement et de contreparement, selon une direction longitudinale de l'élément de finition 3. Chaque gorge longitudinale 33 est adaptée pour recevoir des dents 15 des organes d'attache 13 pour fixer l'élément de finition 3 sur l'élément de support 2. Each lateral face 31, 32 comprises a longitudinal fastening groove 33 extending parallel to the faces 29, 30 of face and counterpart, in a longitudinal direction of the finishing element 3. Each longitudinal groove 33 is adapted to receive teeth 15 of the fasteners 13 for fixing the finishing element 3 to the support element 2.
La face de contreparement 30 de l'élément de finition 3 comprend également une gorge 34 de positionnement s'étendant selon une direction longitudinale de l'élément de finition 3, au milieu de l'élément de finition 3. La gorge 34 est apte à recevoir la nervure 8 de l'élément de support 2 afin de positionner l'élément de finition 3 par rapport à l'élément de support 2 et de guider l'élément de finition 3 lors de son montage sur l'élément de support 2. The counterface 30 of the finishing element 3 also comprises a positioning groove 34 extending in a longitudinal direction of the finishing element 3, in the middle of the finishing element 3. The groove 34 is suitable for receiving the rib 8 of the support element 2 in order to position the finishing element 3 with respect to the support element 2 and to guide the finishing element 3 when it is mounted on the support element 2.
Cet agencement permet de maintenir un positionnement correct des éléments de finition 3 par rapport à l'élément de parement 2, même en cas
de dilatation de l'élément de finition 3. En outre, du fait de leur élasticité, les pattes 13 autorisent une dilatation des éléments de parement 3.
This arrangement makes it possible to maintain a correct positioning of the finishing elements 3 with respect to the facing element 2, even in case in addition, because of their elasticity, the tabs 13 allow expansion of the facing elements 3.
