Description

Title: MOBILE PARTITION SYSTEM Technical area

The present invention relates to the adaptation of the spaces of a building using a mobile partitioning system.

Prior art

It is known to use mobile partitioning systems to partition the spaces of a building according to use.

Various types of false partitions have been proposed, in the form of sliding panels in particular. These existing systems generally have an appearance which differs from that of fixed partitions, which makes them not very discreet. In addition, the sound insulation they provide is much lower than that of fixed partitions.

Application CN107882360A describes a partitioning system making it possible to modify the number of rooms within a housing, comprising a rotating partition, provided with a door, the partition being mounted on joints arranged on the floor and on the ceiling. A motor is provided to drive the partition in rotation. Such a system is relatively complex and expensive, and requires the presence of the movable partition to be provided from the design of the housing.

Application CN108505651A describes a set of sound-insulated hinged panels. The joints are arranged alternately on either side of the panels and remain visible regardless of the deployed or retracted configuration. Such a partitioning system is not very discreet, and is more suitable for the partitioning of workspaces in offices than for the transformation of a home.

Disclosure of the invention

There is a need to benefit from a partitioning system which makes it possible to close a space with good sound insulation, which is discreet and aesthetic, and easy to use.

Summary of the invention

The invention meets this need by proposing a mobile partitioning system to be connected to at least one fixed partition of a building, in particular a fixed partition comprising plasterboard panels, gypsum fibers or the like, the partitioning system comprising at least minus one movable partition to be connected by at least one hinge embedded in the fixed partition, the movable partition having substantially the same thickness as the fixed partition, the hinge being hidden when the movable partition is closed and follows on from the fixed partition.

The invention offers an elegant solution to quickly change the number of rooms in a home or offices, for example transforming a T3 into T2 or a T4 into T3, without the transformation harming the aesthetics of the space and by having a satisfactory soundproofing quality. In particular, with the exception of, for example, a recessed handle, nothing can visually protrude from either side of the partition system. The invention can also be easily adapted to existing fixed partitions, and does not require the provision of a motor or a reinforcement to install a joint on the ceiling.

In an exemplary implementation of the invention, the system comprises two movable partitions each to be connected to an adjacent fixed partition by at least one recessed hinge, each movable partition having substantially the same thickness as the adjacent fixed partition. This makes it possible, in the open configuration, to provide a large opening.

The movable partition or at least one of the movable partitions may include at least one lock. The latter can be used to block the movable partition in at least one of the open and closed configurations.

The system may include one or more covers which are attached to the movable partition and / or the fixed partition at the connection between the two, in the open configuration, to hide the hinges between the two, and to preserve an aesthetic appearance at the same time. 'together.

The recessed hinge or hinges can allow the movable partition to open at 90 °. In this case, the system can advantageously include a cover, in particular L-shaped in section, configured to cover the angle formed between the fixed partition and the movable partition when the latter is open at 90 °.

As a variant, the recessed hinge allows a 180 ° opening of the mobile partition. In this case, the system may include a cover, in particular U-shaped in section, to cover the hinge or hinges and the edge of the fixed partition and of the movable partition when the latter is open to 180 °. The movable partition or each movable partition may include sound insulation sandwiched between two exterior panels, in particular gypsum fiber panels of the Fermacell® type.

The movable partition or each movable partition may include a plinth coming in the continuity of a plinth of the adjacent fixed partition. Thus, the movable partition or partitions retain the appearance of the adjacent fixed partition, when these also include a plinth.

The or each movable partition may also include an automatic plinth. Such a plinth has a gasket which applies against the facing surface in the closed position of the partition and retracts when the partition leaves this position. The automatic plinth can in particular be integrated into the partition in the thickness of the latter. The or each movable partition may include automatic plinths at the top and at the bottom.

The partitioning system may have vertical joints applying between the movable partitions or between a movable partition and the adjacent fixed partition, at least when the movable partition (s) are closed.

The movable partition or each movable partition may have a recess on its longitudinal edge carrying the embedded hinge, the adjacent fixed partition having on its longitudinal edge facing a recess of generally complementary shape. The presence of the step also makes it possible to define a bearing surface for the vertical joint.

Preferably, the movable partition and the fixed partition have the same exterior surface appearance.

The movable partition may not have a bearing bearing on the ground to reduce the forces exerted on the fixed partition. In the closed or open position, the movable partition can press via the aforementioned automatic plinth seal on the floor, or via a lock. As a variant, the movable partition comprises such a bearing.

Another subject of the invention is, according to another of its aspects, an interior building arrangement comprising at least one fixed partition and at least one movable partition of a system as defined above, connected to said at least one partition. fixed.

The mobile partition can extend over the entire height under the ceiling or false ceiling. The fixed partition may have the same structure as the movable partition, in particular include an insulating core sandwiched between two exterior panels, in particular made of gypsum fibers.

detailed description

There is shown in Figures 1 to 3 an example of housing equipped with a mobile partitioning system 1 according to the invention.

This system has left 2 and right 3 movable partitions that can go from a closed configuration shown in Figure 1 to an open configuration shown in Figure 3.

The left mobile partition 2 is articulated on an adjacent fixed partition 4 and the right mobile partition 3 is articulated on an adjacent fixed partition 6, against which it can be folded in the open position, after pivoting through 180 °, while the left mobile partition rotates 90 ° to reach the open position.

It can be seen in Figures 1 to 3 that the movable partitions 2 and 3 extend over substantially the entire height under the ceiling and have the same appearance in closed configuration as the adjacent fixed partitions 4 and 6, thus giving the visual impression from afar. of a continuous wall in one piece.

In Figure 4, there is shown in horizontal section the system 1, the movable partitions 2 and 3 being shown twice, respectively in open and closed positions.

The movable partitions 2 and 3 comprise in the example considered a frame 15 as illustrated in Figure 8, formed of vertical 10 and horizontal 11 wooden draw sheets, framing a multi-ply structure 12 formed of several fiber panels to medium density MDF ("Medium Density Fiber Board") glued and hollowed out, with rebate for embedding the sheets 10 and 11. An acoustic insulation 13 such as glass wool, visible in Figures 11 and 13 in particular, is received in the recesses 14 of the structure

12.

Gypsum fiber panels 16, for example of the Fermacell® type 12.5 mm thick, are attached to the framework 15 of each mobile partition 2 or 3.

The fixed partitions 4 and 6 also include panels 18 of the same type, arranged on either side of an acoustic insulation 19, such as mineral or plant wool.

It can be seen in Figures 11 and 13 in particular that the movable partitions 2 and 3 have the same thickness e as the adjacent fixed partitions 4 and 6. This thickness is between 70 and 80mm for example.

It can also be seen that the clearance existing between the fixed 4 and movable 2 partitions, between the movable partitions 2 and 3, and between the movable 3 and fixed partitions 6, when the movable partitions 2 and 3 are in the closed position, is small, for example between 3 and 5 mm, which gives a visual impression of continuity of the partitioning, as can be seen in figure 1.

In the closed position, the panels 16 of the movable partitions 2 and 3 located on the same side of the insulation 13 are also coplanar with the panels 18 of the fixed partitions located on the same side, in the example considered.

The fixed and movable partitions are connected by hinges 20 which are embedded partly in the fixed partition and partly in the movable partition, so that these hinges are hidden when the movable partition is in the closed position. The hinges 20 are received in recesses 21 of the vertical sheets 10 of the movable partitions.

Automatic plinths 24 are housed in the lower and upper horizontal sheets 11 of the movable partitions 2 and 3, as can be seen in FIGS. 7 to 10.

Each automatic plinth 24 has a seal 25 which is movable vertically between an extended position, where it rests against the facing surface, and a retracted position, where it extends back from said surface and therefore does not hinder movement. rotation of the partition.

The movement of the joints 25 is controlled by a system for locking the movable partitions in the closed position, comprising locks 27 with rocker to knock out, visible in Figures 9 and 10, and cremones 26 to latch to lard for woodwork and French opening, visible in Figure 5. The locking system also includes the corresponding strikes.

The movable partition 2 carries on the side opposite the adjacent fixed partition a seal 28 which is partially housed in a groove 29 dug in the corresponding vertical gap 10 at the end of the partition.

Likewise, the fixed partitions 4 and 6 each carry on their side adjacent to the movable partition each a seal 30 which is partially housed in a corresponding groove 31 of the fixed partition.

The movable partitions 2 and 3 have, as can be seen in Figure 13 in particular, surfaces 32 and 33 formed in the vertical sheets 11, between which the seal 28 carried by the movable partition 2 is pressed, when the movable partitions 2 and 3 are closed.

Each of these surfaces 32 and 33 forms a recess on the edge of the movable partition, at the level of the corresponding vertical strip 11.

When the mobile partition 2 is open at 90 °, the seal 28 is applied to a stop 35 mounted on a fixed partition 7 extending parallel to the partition 4. This fixed partition 7 can be provided at the end with a finish 41 , which extends a short distance from the end of the movable partition 2, as shown in Figure 12.

The fixed partitions 4 and 7 define with the mobile partition 2, when the latter is rotated 90 ° in the open position, a volume 46 which can serve as a cupboard, as illustrated in FIG. 46. The mobile partition 2 then extends perpendicular to the fixed partitions 4 and 7, and defines the bottom of this volume 46.

The ceiling of the housing has, above the movable partition 3, when the latter is in the closed configuration, an element 50 such as a cleat, to which is fixed, for example by means of screws, a flat 51 which serves as a stop for the partition in the open position, as illustrated in FIGS. 7 and 9 in particular. A hole can be made in the element 50 to accommodate the bolt 55 of the upper lock, as shown in Figure 9. A similar hole can be made in the floor, to accommodate the bolt 56 of the lower lock.

The movable partition 3 can be rotated by 180 ° to press against the fixed partition 6, as illustrated in FIG. 4.

The hinges 20 can be configured to hold the movable partitions 2 and 3 in their open position with a certain force, thanks for example to the presence an opening assistance spring. As a variant, the maintenance in the open position can be effected by any suitable locking means.

To assemble the movable partitions 2 and 3, the latter can be installed with their framework 15 without the panels 16, the latter being mounted once the framework of the partitions in place. This can allow the same panels to be used for cladding mobile panels and fixed panels.

A cover 60 can be mounted on the fixed and mobile partitions to hide the end of the partitions, as illustrated in FIGS. 17 and 18. Such a cover 60 makes it possible to hide the hinges 20 and thus preserve the aesthetics of the partition system. in open configuration.

The cover 60 may have a generally L-shaped section as illustrated in FIG. 18, when the movable partition pivots 90 ° between the open and closed positions.

It may also have a generally U-shaped section in the case of a wall pivoting through 180 °, as illustrated in Figure 17.

The cover 60 can be arranged to be removably attached to the fixed and movable partitions, for example via magnetic fasteners, which allows it to be easily removed to return the movable partition to the closed position. It can still be attached by friction, snap-in or with Velcro-type fasteners.

Of course, the invention is not limited to the examples which have just been described. For example, more than two movable partitions can be provided according to the invention within a dwelling. The framework of a movable partition can be formed differently, in particular include metal or plastic parts. Bearings can be placed under the movable partitions to take some of the weight of the latter, and reduce the mechanical stresses exerted on the fixed partitions, at least during the rotation of the movable partitions.
