Description

La présente invention concerne un abri repliable. Cette invention se rapporte, plus particulièrement, à un abri repliable avec une ossature en forme de portique comprenant deux montants munis de pieds et reliés entre eux, vers leurs sommets, par une partie supérieure horizontale de part et d'autre de laquelle se déploient symétriquement deux toiles qui s'enroulent autour d'un rouleau commun d'axe horizontal, chacune des deux toiles étant maintenue au moyen de bras de tension articulés, reliés d'une part à l'ossature en forme de portique, et d'autre part à une barre de charge fixée au bord antérieur de la toile.The present invention relates to a folding shelter. This invention relates, more particularly, to a folding shelter with a frame in the form of a portico comprising two uprights provided with feet and connected together, towards their vertices, by a horizontal upper part on either side of which unfold symmetrically. two fabrics which are wound around a common roller of horizontal axis, each of the two fabrics being held by means of articulated tension arms, connected on the one hand to the frame in the form of gantry, and on the other hand a load bar attached to the front edge of the fabric.

De tels abris, utilisables notamment comme de grands parasols, dans des jardins ou sur des terrasses de cafés, ou encore comme abris pour des marchands forains, sont réalisés à la manière de deux stores à rouleau se déployant symétriquement par rapport à un plan vertical, en étant montés sur une ossature commune. Ces abris possèdent un mécanisme d'enroulement commun aux deux toiles, permettant d'enrouler simultanément les deux toiles autour du même rouleau en rapprochant les barres de charges respectives et en repliant les bras de tension. Lorsque les deux toiles sont entièrement enroulées, la partie supérieure de l'abri forme un corps allongé de faible largeur et de faible hauteur. L'ossature de l'abri comprenant les deux montants avec leurs pieds respectifs, pose toutefois un problème d'encombrement pour le transport de l'abri et pour son rangement.Such shelters, which can be used in particular as large parasols, in gardens or on café terraces, or even as shelters for fairground merchants, are produced in the manner of two roller blinds deploying symmetrically with respect to a vertical plane, by being mounted on a common frame. These shelters have a winding mechanism common to the two fabrics, making it possible to simultaneously wind the two fabrics around the same roller by bringing the respective load bars together and folding the tension arms. When the two fabrics are fully rolled up, the upper part of the shelter forms an elongated body of small width and low height. The structure of the shelter comprising the two uprights with their respective feet, however poses a problem of space for the transport of the shelter and for its storage.

Dans une réalisation connue d'abri du type ici considéré, les montants sont démontables et les pieds sont eux-mêmes séparables des montants. Grâce à ces dispositions, l'abri peut effectivement être transporté et rangé sous un volume minimum. Toutefois le montage de l'abri, sur le lieu où celui-ci doit être installé, constitue une opération longue et difficile à réaliser, et pratiquement impossible à exécuter par une seule personne. La solution du démontage comporte encore d'autres inconvénients : elle nécessite des vis ou d'autres organes accessoires d'assemblage, ainsi que des outils appropriés, et elle conduit à un transport de l'abri en pièces détachées, donc avec une manutention compliquée et des risques de dispersion et de pertes des pièces.In a known embodiment of a shelter of the type considered here, the uprights are removable and the feet are themselves separable from the uprights. Thanks to these provisions, the shelter can effectively be transported and stored under a minimum volume. However, the assembly of the shelter, on the place where it is to be installed, is a long and difficult operation to carry out, and practically impossible to perform by a single person. The dismantling solution also has other drawbacks: it requires screws or other accessory assembly members, as well as suitable tools, and it leads to transporting the shelter in spare parts, therefore with complicated handling. and the risk of dispersal and loss of parts.

La présente invention vise à éliminer tous ces inconvénients, en fournissant un abri du genre considéré dont le transport et le rangement sont réalisables sous un encombrement minimum, sans nécessité de démontage, et dont l'installation peut être effectuée facilement par une seule personne.The present invention aims to eliminate all these drawbacks, by providing a shelter of the type considered, the transport and storage of which can be carried out in a minimum space, without the need for dismantling, and the installation of which can be carried out easily by a single person.

A cet effet, dans l'abri repliable objet de l'invention, les deux montants de l'ossature en forme de portique sont articulés, vers leurs sommets, aux extrémités respectives de la partie supérieure horizontale de l'ossature, de manière à être repliables parallèlement à cette partie supérieure.To this end, in the folding shelter object of the invention, the two uprights of the gantry-shaped frame are articulated, towards their vertices, at the respective ends of the horizontal upper part of the frame, so as to be foldable parallel to this upper part.

De préférence, chaque pied est lié par une articulation à la base du montant correspondant, de manière à être repliable parallèlement au montant et, avec ce montant, parallèlement à la partie supérieure de l'ossature.Preferably, each leg is linked by an articulation at the base of the corresponding upright, so as to be foldable parallel to the upright and, with this upright, parallel to the upper part of the frame.

Ainsi, pour le transport et le rangement de l'abri, l'ensemble formé par les deux montants et par leurs pieds est rabattable sous la partie supérieure de l'abri, sans aucun démontage. Tout l'abri forme alors un corps allongé de section relativement faible. L'abri reste toujours d'un seul tenant, ce qui simplifie sa manutention et évite d'égarer des pièces de cet abri. Lorsque l'abri doit être installé, une seule personne peut déployer rapidement et sans difficulté les montants et les pieds, l'installation de l'abri ne nécessitant aucun organe accessoire d'assemblage et aucun outil particulier.Thus, for transporting and storing the shelter, the assembly formed by the two uprights and their feet is foldable under the upper part of the shelter, without any disassembly. The entire shelter then forms an elongated body of relatively small section. The shelter always remains in one piece, which simplifies its handling and avoids losing parts of this shelter. When the shelter must be installed, a single person can quickly and easily deploy the uprights and feet, the installation of the shelter requiring no accessory assembly member and no special tool.

Dans un mode de réalisation connu pour un tel abri, la partie supérieure horizontale de l'ossature comprend deux supports latéraux opposés qui sont reliés l'un à l'autre par une barre ou un tube, qui servent de paliers pour le rouleau d'enroulement des deux toiles et auxquels sont liés les bras de tension articulés. L'invention peut, dans ce cas, être mise en oeuvre en prévoyant, à la base de chaque support latéral, un axe horizontal sur lequel est articulée la partie supérieure de l'un des montants.In a known embodiment for such a shelter, the horizontal upper part of the frame comprises two opposite lateral supports which are connected to each other by a bar or a tube, which serve as bearings for the roll of winding of the two fabrics and to which the articulated tension arms are linked. The invention can, in this case, be implemented by providing, at the base of each lateral support, a horizontal axis on which is articulated the upper part of one of the uprights.

La partie inférieure de chaque support latéral forme, avantageusement, une chape d'axe horizontal dans laquelle est introduit une pièce d'articulation fixée sur le montant. Grâce à cette disposition, les montants peuvent être réalisés sous la forme de simples tubes ou profilés, de la longueur désirée, la fonction d'articulation étant assurée par une pièce spéciale. Chaque montant est réalisé, par exemple, sous la forme d'un profilé tubulaire avec une rainure longitudinale, dans laquelle est mise en place et immobilisée la pièce d'articulation.The lower part of each lateral support advantageously forms a yoke with a horizontal axis into which a hinge part fixed to the upright is introduced. Thanks to this arrangement, the uprights can be produced in the form of simple tubes or profiles, of the desired length, the articulation function being provided by a special piece. Each upright is produced, for example, in the form of a tubular profile with a longitudinal groove, in which is placed and immobilized the articulation piece.

De préférence, des moyens sont prévus pour le verrouillage de chaque montant sur l'extrémité correspondante de la partie supérieure horizontale de l'ossature, lorsque ce montant est en position verticale. Dans une forme de réalisation particulière, ces moyens de verrouillage sont constitués, pour chaque montant, d'une part par une vis montée pivotante au sommet du support latéral et portant un écrou de serrage manoeuvrable manuellement, et d'autre part par un embout introduit à l'extrémité supérieure du montant tubulaire et présentant, extérieurement, un épaulement sur lequel peut être accroché l'écrou.Preferably, means are provided for locking each upright on the corresponding end of the horizontal upper part of the frame, when this upright is in the vertical position. In a particular embodiment, these locking means are constituted, for each upright, on the one hand by a screw pivotally mounted at the top of the lateral support and carrying a tightening nut which can be operated manually, and on the other hand by a nozzle introduced into the upper end of the tubular upright and having, externally, a shoulder on which the nut can be hung.

Pour l'articulation du pied, chaque montant comporte encore, à son extrémité inférieure, une chape avec deux ailes verticales, dans laquelle est engagée et articulée la partie médiane du pied correspondant. Des moyens sont avantageusement prévus pour le verrouillage de chaque pied par rapport au montant correspondant, dans une position où le pied s'étend perpendiculairement au montant. Selon un mode de réalisation particulier, les deux ailes de la chape, à l'extrémité inférieure de chaque montant, sont percées de lumières traversées par un axe fixé sur le pied ; les moyens de verrouillage du pied par rapport au montant comprennent un écrou de serrage manoeuvrable manuellement, porté par une vis fixée sur le pied et pouvant être serré autour d'une encoche ménagée sur la chape et traversée par la vis. Cette disposition autorise le repliage du pied seulement après un certain mouvement de translation de ce pied relativement à la chape ; elle évite ainsi tout affaissement de l'abri, même en cas de desserrage intempestif de l'écrou.For the articulation of the foot, each upright also has, at its lower end, a yoke with two vertical wings, in which is engaged and articulated the middle part of the corresponding foot. Means are advantageously provided for locking each foot relative to the corresponding upright, in a position where the foot extends perpendicular to the upright. According to a particular embodiment, the two wings of the yoke, at the lower end of each upright, are pierced with lights crossed by an axis fixed on the foot; the means for locking the foot with respect to the upright comprise a manually operable tightening nut, carried by a screw fixed on the foot and which can be tightened around a notch formed on the yoke and traversed by the screw. This arrangement authorizes the folding of the foot only after a certain movement of translation of this foot relative to the yoke; it thus prevents any collapse of the shelter, even in the event of untimely loosening of the nut.

Selon un autre aspect de l'invention, le tube ou la barre de liaison entre les deux supports latéraux est situé au-dessus du rouleau d'enroulement des deux toiles. Cette disposition dégage, sous le rouleau, un espace libre permettant de replier les deux montants et leurs pieds sous ce rouleau. De plus, la position supérieure de la barre de liaison permet d'y fixer directement un petit "toit" de protection et/ou un éclairage.According to another aspect of the invention, the tube or the connecting bar between the two lateral supports is located above the winding roller of the two fabrics. This arrangement gives free space under the roller for folding the two uprights and their feet under this roller. In addition, the upper position of the connecting bar makes it possible to directly attach a small protective "roof" and / or lighting.

Lorsque l'abri est replié, une protection de celui-ci est souhaitable, en particulier pour son transport et son rangement. A cet effet, dans le cas d'un abri repliable avec deux barres de charge munies de lambrequins, la présente invention prévoit, en outre, des moyens de liaison pour la réunion des lambrequins entre eux et/ou aux barres de charge, dans la position repliée de l'abri, notamment de manière à former, au moyen de ces lambrequins, une sorte de housse entourant et protégeant l'abri dans sa position repliée. Ces dispositions permettent aussi la protection des toiles enroulées, alors que l'ossature de l'abri n'est pas repliée.When the shelter is folded, it is desirable to protect it, in particular for its transport and storage. To this end, in the case of a folding shelter with two load bars provided with lambrequins, the present invention further provides connecting means for joining the lambrequins together and / or to the load bars, in the folded position of the shelter, in particular so as to form, by means of these lambrequins, a kind of cover surrounding and protecting the shelter in its folded position. These provisions also allow the protection of the rolled up fabrics, while the structure of the shelter is not folded.

De toute façon, l'invention sera mieux comprise à l'aide de la description qui suit, en référence au dessin schématique annexé représentant, à titre d'exemple non limitatif, une forme de réalisation de cet abri repliable :

Les montants 1 sont munis, à leur base, de pieds 3 de forme allongée s'étendant en direction sensiblement horizontale de part et d'autre des montants 1. La partie supérieure 2 comprend deux supports latéraux 4, reliés l'un à l'autre par un profilé tubulaire horizontal 5. Les supports latéraux 4 servent de paliers pour un rouleau 6 d'axe horizontal, sur lequel s'enroulent deux toiles 7 qui se déploient symétriquement de part et d'autre du plan vertical contenant l'ossature en forme de portique.The folding shelter, shown in FIG. 1, comprises a framework in the general form of a gantry, with two lateral uprights 1 connected to each other, towards their vertices, by a horizontal upper part 2. The uprights 1 are provided, at their base, feet 3 of elongated shape extending in a substantially horizontal direction on either side of the uprights 1. The upper part 2 comprises two lateral supports 4, connected to each other by a horizontal tubular profile 5. The supports side 4 serve as bearings for a roller 6 with a horizontal axis, on which are wound two fabrics 7 which are deployed symmetrically on either side of the vertical plane containing the framework in the form of a gantry.

Le bord antérieur de chaque toile 7 est fixée à une barre de charge 8, constituée par un profilé tubulaire, sous laquelle pend facultativement un lambrequin 9. Chacune des deux barres de charge 8 est tenue par deux bras de tension articulés 10, formés de deux tronçons et munis de ressorts. Le tronçon antérieur de chaque bras 10 est articulé à la barre de charge 8, tandis que le tronçon postérieur est articulé sur une chape 11, fixée à l'un des supports latéraux 4 avec possibilité de réglage angulaire d'une manière qui sera précisée plus bas.The front edge of each fabric 7 is fixed to a load bar 8, constituted by a tubular profile, under which optionally hangs a lambrequin 9. Each of the two load bars 8 is held by two articulated tension arms 10, formed of two sections and fitted with springs. The front section of each arm 10 is articulated to the load bar 8, while the rear section is articulated on a yoke 11, fixed to one of the lateral supports 4 with the possibility of angular adjustment in a manner which will be specified more low.

A une extrémité du rouleau 6 est monté un mécanisme d'enroulement 12, par exemple manuel avec une manivelle 13. Ce mécanisme 12 permet, en faisant tourner le rouleau 6 dans un sens, de dérouler simultanément les deux toiles 7 en les déployant de part et d'autre du plan de symétrie vertical de l'abri, les bras 10 se déployant simultanément pour maintenir les deux toiles 7 tendues. La rotation de sens inverse du rouleau 6 provoque l'enroulement des deux toiles 7, les bras 10 se repliant alors et les barres de charge 8 se rapprochant du rouleau 6.At one end of the roller 6 is mounted a winding mechanism 12, for example manual with a crank 13. This mechanism 12 allows, by rotating the roller 6 in one direction, to simultaneously unwind the two fabrics 7 by deploying them on either side of the vertical plane of symmetry of the shelter, the arms 10 deploying simultaneously to maintain the two 7 stretched fabrics. The opposite rotation of the roller 6 causes the two fabrics 7 to be rolled up, the arms 10 then folding back and the load bars 8 approaching the roller 6.

Plus particulièrement, et comme le montrent aussi les figures 3 et 4, le profilé tubulaire de liaison horizontal 5 est disposé au-dessus du rouleau 6 d'enroulement des deux toiles 7. Chaque support latéral 4 est pouvu, à son sommet, d'un embout creux 14 introduit dans un extrémité du tube de liaison 5 et fixé à celle-ci au moyen de rivets 15. Chaque support latéral 4 comporte encore, comme montré à la figure 5, deux évidements circulaires 16 dans lesquels prennent place les embases de forme correspondante des chapes 11 auxquelles sont articulés les bras de tension 10. Chaque chape 11 est fixée au moyen d'un boulon 17. La partie inférieure de chaque support latéral 4 forme elle-même une chape d'axe horizontal, comme indiqué en 18.More particularly, and as also shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the horizontal connecting tubular profile 5 is arranged above the roller 6 for winding the two fabrics 7. Each lateral support 4 is able, at its top, to a hollow end piece 14 inserted into one end of the connecting tube 5 and fixed to the latter by means of rivets 15. Each lateral support 4 also comprises, as shown in FIG. 5, two circular recesses 16 in which the bases of the corresponding shape of the yokes 11 to which the tension arms 10 are articulated. Each yoke 11 is fixed by means of a bolt 17. The lower part of each lateral support 4 itself forms a yoke with a horizontal axis, as indicated in 18 .

La chape 18 sert à l'articulation de la partie supérieure du montant 1 situé du côté du support latéral 4 considéré. Le montant 1 est réalisé sous la forme d'un profilé tubulaire, avec une rainure longitudinale 19, dans laquelle est mise en place une pièce d'articulation 20, immobilisée dans la position désirée au moyen de vis de pression 21. La pièce d'articulation 20 est introduite entre les deux branches de la chape 18 et liée à cette chape 18 par un axe d'articulation horizontal 22.The yoke 18 is used for the articulation of the upper part of the upright 1 located on the side of the lateral support 4 considered. The upright 1 is produced in the form of a tubular profile, with a longitudinal groove 19, in which is put in place an articulation piece 20, immobilized in the desired position by means of pressure screws 21. The piece of articulation 20 is introduced between the two branches of the yoke 18 and linked to this yoke 18 by a horizontal articulation axis 22.

Lorsque l'abri est installé, chaque montant 1 est vertical et sa partie supérieure est appliquée contre la face extérieure du support latéral 4 correspondant. Plus particulièrement, comme le montre la figure 5, la face extérieure du support latéral 4 présente une sorte de gouttière verticale 23 dans laquelle s'introduit, partiellement, le sommet du montant 1.When the shelter is installed, each upright 1 is vertical and its upper part is applied against the outer face of the corresponding lateral support 4. More particularly, as shown in FIG. 5, the outer face of the lateral support 4 has a sort of vertical gutter 23 into which the top of the upright 1 is partially introduced.

Pour verrouiller le montant 1 en position verticale, il est prévu une vis 24 tranversant librement un trou 25 ménagé au sommet du support latéral 4 de telle sorte que la tête de la vis 24 soit logée à l'intérieur de l'embout creux 14. La vis 24 porte un petit volant à lobes 26 formant écrou, pouvant être vissé ou dévissé manuellement sans aucun outil. Autour de la vis 24 est encore monté un ressort hélicoïdal 27, comprimé entre le face extérieure du support latéral 4 et le volant 26. A l'extrémité supérieure du montant 1 est introduit un embout creux 28, fixé au moyen de rivets 29 et présentant, extérieurement, un épaulement 30. Lorsque le montant 1 est en position verticale, le volant 26 porté par la vis 24 est serré et accroché sur l'épaulement 30, directement ou de préférence par l'intermédiaire d'une rondelle (voir figure 3).To lock the upright 1 in a vertical position, a screw 24 is freely provided passing through a hole 25 formed at the top of the lateral support 4 so that the head of the screw 24 is housed inside the hollow end piece 14. The screw 24 carries a small lobe flywheel 26 forming a nut, which can be screwed on or off manually without any tools. Around the screw 24 is also mounted a helical spring 27, compressed between the outer face of the lateral support 4 and the flywheel 26. At the upper end of the upright 1 is introduced a hollow end piece 28, fixed by means of rivets 29 and having, externally, a shoulder 30. When the upright 1 is in vertical position, the flywheel 26 carried by the screw 24 is tightened and hung on the shoulder 30 , directly or preferably via a washer (see Figure 3).

En se référant aux figures 3 et 6, on décrira maintenant la liaison articulée entre la base de chaque montant 1 et le pied 3 correspondant, constitué par un tube de section carrée :Referring to Figures 3 and 6, we will now describe the articulated connection between the base of each upright 1 and the corresponding leg 3, constituted by a tube of square section:

Un embout creux 31 est introduit à l'extrémité inférieure du montant 1, et fixé à celui-ci au moyen de rivets 32. La partie extérieure de l'embout 31 comporte deux ailes verticales formant une chape 33, chaque aile étant percée d'une lumière horizontale 34. Le pied tubulaire 3, engagé par sa partie médiane entre ces deux ailes, est pourvu d'un axe transversal 35 fixé au moyen d'une vis 36 et traversant les deux lumières 34. Lorsque le pied 3 occupe sa position normale, l'axe 35 est situé vers une extrémité des lumières 34 et de la chape 33. Vers l'autre extrémité de cette chape 33 sont prévus des moyens de verrouillage, comprenant un petit volant à lobes 37 formant écrou, monté sur une vis 38 fixée à la face supérieure du pied tubulaire 3. Lorsque ce pied 3 occupe sa position horizontale normale, la vis 38 traverse une encoche 39 ménagée à une extrémité de la chape 33, et le volant 37 est serré contre la face supérieure de la chape 33, autour de l'encoche 39.A hollow end piece 31 is introduced at the lower end of the upright 1, and fixed to the latter by means of rivets 32. The external part of the end piece 31 comprises two vertical wings forming a yoke 33, each wing being pierced with a horizontal lumen 34. The tubular leg 3, engaged by its middle part between these two wings, is provided with a transverse axis 35 fixed by means of a screw 36 and passing through the two lumens 34. When the leg 3 occupies its position normal, the axis 35 is located towards one end of the lights 34 and of the yoke 33. Towards the other end of this yoke 33 are provided locking means, comprising a small lobe flywheel 37 forming a nut, mounted on a screw 38 fixed to the upper face of the tubular leg 3. When this leg 3 occupies its normal horizontal position, the screw 38 passes through a notch 39 formed at one end of the yoke 33, and the flywheel 37 is tightened against the upper face of the yoke 33, around the notch 39.

L'abri repliable décrit précédemment possède, ainsi, deux montants 1 articulés sur les supports latéraux 4 de la partie supérieure 2, autour des axes 22, et deux pieds 3 articulés, autour des axes 35, à la base des montants 1 correspondants. Ces dispositions permettent de replier entièrement l'abri, sous un faible encombrement, comme on le décrira maintenant en se référant notamment à la figure 2 :The folding shelter described above thus has two uprights 1 articulated on the lateral supports 4 of the upper part 2, around the axes 22, and two feet 3 articulated, around the axes 35, at the base of the corresponding uprights 1. These arrangements allow the shelter to be entirely folded up, in a small space, as will now be described with particular reference to FIG. 2:

Après déverrouillage des montants 1 par desserrage des volants 26, chacun de ces montants 1 peut être rabattu sous le rouleau 6, par pivotement autour de l'axe d'articulation 22. Auparavant, le pied 3 de chaque montant 1 est pivoté autour de l'axe 35, et ramené ainsi dans une orientation parallèle au montant 1. A cet effet, le volant 37 est desserré et la vis 38 est dégagée de l'encoche 39, par un déplacement du pied 3 selon la direction de la flèche 40 (voir figure 6), ce déplacement étant permis par les lumiàres 34 que traverse l'axe 35. Après dégagement de la vis 38, le pied 3 peut pivoter librement, jusqu'à venir contre le montant 1, comme indiqué en traits mixtes sur la figure 6.After unlocking the uprights 1 by loosening the handwheels 26, each of these uprights 1 can be folded down under the roller 6, by pivoting around the articulation axis 22. Previously, the foot 3 of each upright 1 is pivoted around the axis 35, and thus brought back in an orientation parallel to the upright 1. For this purpose, the flywheel 37 is loosened and the screw 38 is released from the notch 39, by a movement of the foot 3 in the direction of the arrow 40 ( see Figure 6), this movement being allowed by the lights 34 through which the axis 35. After disengaging the screw 38, the foot 3 can pivot freely, until it comes against the upright 1, as shown in phantom in Figure 6.

Lorsque l'abri est entièrement replié, les deux montants 1 et/ou les pieds 3, s'étendant parallèlement au rouleau 6, peuvent se chevaucher ou non, selon leur longueur et celle de la partie supérieure 2.When the shelter is fully folded, the two uprights 1 and / or the feet 3, extending parallel to the roller 6, may overlap or not, depending on their length and that of the upper part 2.

L'anneau 41 situé sous le mécanisme d'enroulement 12, et prévu pour l'accrochage de la manivelle 13, permet de replier aussi cette manivelle 13 sous le rouleau 6, sans avoir à la détacher.The ring 41 located under the winding mechanism 12, and provided for the attachment of the crank 13, also allows this crank 13 to be folded under the roller 6, without having to detach it.

Une fois replié, l'abri peut être transporté et rangé sous un volume relativement réduit. Une réalisation de toute l'armature en aluminium rend cet abri léger et facilite encore sa manutention.Once folded, the shelter can be transported and stored under a relatively reduced volume. A realization of the whole aluminum frame makes this shelter light and further facilitates its handling.

Lorsque l'abri doit être installé, les montants 1 et les pieds 3 sont déployés, et verrouillés par serrage des volants 26 et 37. Le montage de l'abri est réalisable facilement par une seule personne, sans l'aide d'aucun outil et sans apport d'aucune pièce extérieure. Une fois que l'ossature en forme de portique est mise en place, les toiles 7 peuvent être déplyées symétriquement, de manière partielle ou complète.When the shelter must be installed, the uprights 1 and the feet 3 are deployed, and locked by tightening the handwheels 26 and 37. The assembly of the shelter can be carried out easily by a single person, without the aid of any tool. and without any external parts. Once the frame in the form of a gantry is in place, the fabrics 7 can be unfolded symmetrically, partially or completely.

Les moyens de verrouillage sont tels qu'en position montée, même en cas de desserrage intempestif d'un volant 26 ou 37, il n'existe aucun risque d'affaissement de l'abri. Par l'effet de son poids, le volant 26 reste en effet en avant de l'épaulement 30. Quant au volant 37, celui-ci reste au-dessus de l'encoche 39, un glissement de la chape 33 relativement au pied 3 étant pratiquement impossible en raison du poids s'appliquant sur la chape 33.The locking means are such that in the mounted position, even in the event of untimely loosening of a steering wheel 26 or 37, there is no risk of the shelter collapsing. By the effect of its weight, the steering wheel 26 in fact remains in front of the shoulder 30. As for the steering wheel 37, the latter remains above the notch 39, a sliding of the yoke 33 relative to the foot 3 being practically impossible due to the weight applied to the yoke 33.

Dans le cas d'un abri repliable pourvu de lambrequins 9, il est possible d'utiliser ces lambrequins 9 pour protéger l'abri, et en particulier les toiles 7 enroulées sur le rouleau 6, notamment lorsque l'abri se trouve entièrement replié, les montants 1 étant amenés dans une orientation parallèle au rouleau 6 :In the case of a folding shelter provided with lambrequins 9, it is possible to use these lambrequins 9 to protect the shelter, and in particular the fabrics 7 wound on the roller 6, in particular when the shelter is fully folded, the uprights 1 being brought in an orientation parallel to the roller 6:

Selon une première possibilité, illustrée par la figure 4, les deux lambrequins 9 sont dimensionnés et confectionnés de telle manière qu'après avoir été relevés symétriquement, ils peuvent être liés l'un à l'autre en 41, au-dessus du profilé tubulaire horizontal 5 (voir le tracé en traits mixtes). La liaison 41 entre les deux lambrequins 9 peut être effectuée, par exemple, au moyen d'une fermeture à glissière, de boutons-pression, d'une toile adhésive, etc...According to a first possibility, illustrated by FIG. 4, the two lambrequins 9 are dimensioned and made up in such a way that after having been raised symmetrically, they can be connected to each other at 41, above the tubular profile. horizontal 5 (see the dashed line). The connection 41 between the two lambrequins 9 can be carried out, for example, by means of a zipper, press studs, an adhesive fabric, etc.

Selon une deuxième possibilité, illustrée par la figure 7, chaque barre de charge 8 est pourvue de deux lambrequins 9a et 9b. Les deux lambrequins "intérieurs" 9a peuvent être réunis entre eux en 42, au-dessous des montants 1 repliés, de manière à protéger la partie inférieure de l'abri replié. Les deux lambrequins "extérieurs" 9b sont réunis en 41, au-dessus du profilé 5, pour protéger la partie supérieure comme dans le cas précédent. L'ensemble des quatre lambrequins 9a et 9b forme ainsi une sorte de housse capable de protéger entièrement l'abri replié, que ce soit pour le transport ou pour le rangement de l'abri.According to a second possibility, illustrated in FIG. 7, each load bar 8 is provided with two lambrequins 9a and 9b. Both "interior" lambrequins 9a can be joined together at 42, below the folded uprights 1, so as to protect the lower part of the folded shelter. The two "exterior" lambrequins 9b are joined at 41, above the profile 5, to protect the upper part as in the previous case. The set of four lambrequins 9a and 9b thus forms a kind of cover capable of fully protecting the folded shelter, whether for transport or for storing the shelter.

Il est à noter que, généralement, les lambrequins 9, ou 9a et 9b, sont de mêmes dimensions ce qui nécessite une symétrie de la position des deux barres de charge 8 par rapport au plan médian vertical de l'ossature de l'abri. Une configuration symétrique des deux barres de charge 8, en toute position de déploiement ou d'enroulement des toiles 7, est ici assurée par la disposition particulière des points d'ancrage respectifs 43 des deux toiles 7 sur le rouleau 6. Les deux points d'ancrage 43 sont distincts, et ces points 43 sont placés sur des rayons qui, dans la position d'enroulement complet, forment avec l'horizontale des angles qui correspondent à l'angle d'inclinaison sur l'horizontale des bras de tension 10.It should be noted that, generally, the lambrequins 9, or 9a and 9b, are of the same dimensions which requires a symmetry of the position of the two load bars 8 with respect to the vertical median plane of the frame of the shelter. A symmetrical configuration of the two load bars 8, in any position of deployment or winding of the fabrics 7, is here provided by the particular arrangement of the respective anchoring points 43 of the two fabrics 7 on the roller 6. The two points of anchor 43 are distinct, and these points 43 are placed on spokes which, in the complete winding position, form with the horizontal angles which correspond to the angle of inclination on the horizontal of the tension arms 10 .

Selon une troisième possibilité, illustrée par la figure 8, les deux lambrequins 9 et 9c sont dissymétriques, c'est-à-dire de longueurs très inégales. Le lambrequin 9c de plus grande longueur peut être enroulé autour de l'abri replié, en enveloppant l'autre lambrequin 9 et en étant fixé sur lui-même en 44 après avor décrti un tour complet. L'ensemble de l'abri replié peut ainsi être protégé par une seule action, donc de manière très simple.According to a third possibility, illustrated by FIG. 8, the two lambrequins 9 and 9c are asymmetrical, that is to say of very unequal lengths. The longer lambrequin 9c can be wrapped around the folded shelter, wrapping the other lambrequin 9 and being fixed on itself at 44 after having described a full turn. The entire folded shelter can thus be protected by a single action, therefore in a very simple manner.

Selon une autre possibilité, qui n'est pas illustrée sur le dessin, il est prévu deux lambrequins de longueurs sensiblement égales et relativement grandes. L'un des lambrequins assure la protection de la partie supérieure de l'abri replié, et l'autre lambrequin assure la protection de la partie inférieure de l'abri replié, chaque lambrequin décrivant un "demi-tour", partant de la barre de charge sous laquelle il pend et rejoignant l'autre barre de charge.According to another possibility, which is not illustrated in the drawing, two lambrequins of substantially equal and relatively large lengths are provided. One of the lambrequins ensures the protection of the upper part of the folded shelter, and the other lambrequin ensures the protection of the lower part of the folded shelter, each lambrequin describing a "U-turn", starting from the bar load under which it hangs and joining the other load bar.

Comme il va de soi, l'invention ne se limite pas à la seule forme de réalisation de cet abri repliable qui a été décrite ci-dessus, à titre d'exemple ; elle en embrasse, au contraire, toutes les variantes respectant le même principe, quels qu'en soient les détails constructifs. Ainsi, l'on ne s'éloignerait pas du cadre de l'invention en modifiant les moyens de verrouillage des montants et des pieds, ou encore en choisissant d'autres sections pour les divers tubes, profilés et barres.It goes without saying that the invention is not limited to the only embodiment of this folding shelter which has been described above, by way of example; on the contrary, it embraces all the variants respecting the same principle, whatever the constructive details. Thus, one would not depart from the scope of the invention by modifying the means for locking the uprights and the feet, or even by choosing other sections for the various tubes, profiles and bars.
